While driving on the freeway, the speedometer and all of the gauges stalled out while the car was still running. The car gauges came back on after a few minutes, presently the gauges are taking a longer time to come back on, in addition while the gauges are off the air conditioner goes off as well, when all the gauges come back on the tire pressure light comes on. We are afraid to take the care out of town because when the gauges go off the car is hard to steer. This continues to happen every time car is driven.

Vsc, ABS, air lights are on. Makes a peak sound when I start my car. It stays for a long time and goes away. During this time break does not work as normal. Feels hard to press break and unable to stop the car. Yesterday when I'm driving suddenly sound came on and I was unable to stop the car as I normally can. When I try to press the break. Break does not apply.

The ABS sensor/module has gone out again. I spent several thousands in repairs and diagnostics years ago for the same issue. Now it has gone crazy again. The dash has been replaced due to being sticky. The car itself burns oil, we are constantly checking and adding to it. It seems several have had these issues and Toyota should be fixing them.

ABS actuator failed for no apparent reason. Many warning lights came on suddenly while normal driving. The lights included slippage, ABS, check vsc, and emergency break. The break action response was diminished. This is a known problem to Toyota, and they extended the warranty, but ours is beyond the new extension window. Cost to repair is $1,600

Driving on street approaching an intersection where I was turning left and had a green light when the ABS/ESC lights on the dash turned on and brakes stopped working. This caused me to roll through the intersection and almost cause an accident. Had to stop by rolling into curb. Found the brakes do work somewhat now but are dangerously weak.

Moving at 70 mph, battery light started to flicker. Then 2 loud bangs, like rocks hitting windshield, speedometer wildly fluctuating, check vsc sys light on instrument cluster briefly lit. No loss of power or control. Battery lite now off. Continued on 3 minutes later repeat, bam bam, check vsc sys, now with red triangle warning, ABS light, security, passenger air bag & skid lines flashed on. No problems on return trip, although I was traveling at around 50 mph. I should add that I had problem with battery in Jan 2019. Replaced battery and positive cable. Battery light kept coming on, replaced alternator. Problem with intermittent battery light reoccurred. Mechanic cleaned off positive pole, and problem was solved until today.

The brake lights systems and ABS lights comes out as I start the car and all gauges stop working, the ac don't work when this happens. I can't tell how fast im going because the speedometer gauge failed to provide the correct reading, the ABS control module and emergency warning indicator illuminates on the screen. This happens while I am driving, it does ramdonly and now is more frecuently.

ABS control module needs replacing. Brake and ABS light come on, no A/C and speedometer goes to 0. brake lights don't work during episodes which could cause you to get rear ended. These episodes occur while idling and driving.

The contact owns a 2007 Toyota Camry. While driving 65 mph, the brake pedal was depressed, but the vehicle failed to stop in a timely manner. The contact stated that the brake pedal had to be depressed several times before the vehicle stopped. In addition, the check vehicle stability control and two other unknown warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to smithtown Toyota (360 East jericho turnpike, smithtown, NY 11787, (844) 547-4559) where it was diagnosed that the brake actuator needed replacement. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 198,000.

ABS, speedometer, tachometer, RPM and A/C jumps on and off all over the place. I took it to a Toyota dealer, could not find what was the problem but they assumed it may be the ABS module or some other modules may not be talking to each other. I have researched on line Toyota Camry forums and and found they are lots of Toyota Camry owners with the same issues. This is a very safety issue because im not able to see at the speed my car is going when driving it because tachometer gauges among the others gauges working intermittent (on and off) I request for Toyota to place a recall for all Toyota Camry having this mayor safety electronics problems. I would not mind paying for repair if Toyota dealer knew what the problem was but they don't know and if the repair did not exceed ocer thousands of dollars for something that the manufacture has failed to addressed and fix. Thank you.

Just purchase a 2007 Toyota Camry le from sterling mccall Toyota a few months ago and now just finding out that the car has a oil consumption issue with no indication that the engine had ever had and problems now it's a the engine has possibly blown out or locked because of this issue it will not start. I paid for this vehicle in full in cash from the dealer I'm trying to find out how to get my money back for the vehicle sale price and the other minor repairs that I made to this vehicle. The vehicle could have killed me and my children it just turned off while we were driving home during the day, almost caused a car accident.

This car is burning through oil in between changes. The ABS system has also failed. No major problems, just annoying.

My 2007 Toyota Camry lr ABS system is not working, I read numerous complaints (over 197 complaints with this problem on 2007 Camry le's) to your site with same problem: Warning lights, speedometer needle at "0", etc. Cost to replace ABS system over $2,500. Someone said the ABS was only to prevent skids and even though speedometer is not showing speed, that no other problem such as sudden stop, or brake failure, etc would happen, complaints on your site show that other problems, can result, what can we do? my car mileage is 79,899. This is a continuing problem started approx. August 2017 - -

I have a 2007 Camry with 125,000 miles. It is impeccably cared for, it has new front and back brakes, new rotors, new battery and new tires. The problem started several weeks ago in April 2017. While driving modest speeds on regular roads, the break and ABS warming lights come on, and the speedometer stops working and goes to 0, even though the car is moving. This keeps happening intermittently with no relation to speed or road conditions. Also, I live in sunny California, and never in my life have had to use the ABS system for any breaking. I was told by my mechanic this is an ABS brake control module problem, which will cost about $2500 to fix. This is outrageous!!! I am retired and cannot afford this kind of expense!!! I have been driving Toyota for over 40 years and I never had this problem or even heard of this problem before. My prior Camry lasted for 14 years and 200,000 miles and never had this problem. Toyota truly needs to fix the problem or at least tell all future Camry buyers to be prepared for a $2500 - $5000 expense in the future. If I had known about this when I bought the car I would never have bought it!!

My ABS light and brake light simultaneously came on when I was at a stoplight one day at the same time my air conditioner only blows out hot air and I was told that this is a safety issue because if you step on your brakes too fast or anything like that the car can skid or lose traction or ever the case may be to me this is a manufactured default and should be recalled for warranty to be replaced since most of these issues are causing people 2500 plus which is way more than the value of the car on top of the burden it cost to get it fixed it's very dangerous and there are plenty of other people that I have complained online and spoke with that their ABS modules have also went out on this year car as well as melting dashboard defaulted power windows oil consumption which I need to go check mine to see if that is also happening on this model 07 very unethical very dangerous!!! I mean come on if it's a warranty issue it would be something that we would have to maintain on a regular basis and order for it not to be broken but obviously this is not something that you can maintenance like your oil or your tires this needs to be recalled this is my formal complaint thank you

ABS actuator problem: My 2007 Toyota Camry has a failed ABS actuator. This will cost me $2,000 to replace. The ABS and brake warning lights lit up on the dashboard and the tachometer started fluctuating wildly, so I had it towed to the dealer. I have had the car for 9.5 years and it has about 78,000 miles on it, so I believe the original part should have lasted longer. I am aware of the ABS actuator problems on the 2007-08 Camry hybrid models, so I think you should investigate the ABS actuators on the regular Camry models too.

I have a 2007 Toyota Camry. It has about 170,000 miles. I get regular oil changes and check up on the car. While driving my vehicle vsc lights, brakes, and battery light comes on and my power steering goes out. My car engine turns off and I am unable to recrank it. All of my systems are on such as the ac, radio, and lights, however the vehicle is unable to start. This has happened to be twice in 1 week. The first time I got it towed to the dealership and they stated it was just the battery. So after paying over $150 for a diagnostic and oil change, I drove my car away only to get about 5 miles down the road and it happened again. This time, I almost crashed into a car while I was trying to pull my car safely off the road. This led to a second tow truck bill and an irritable call to the dealer. The car is there now and they have no idea what is going on. They are trying to state the car may have water damage to the computer system which seems to be total bs. My car has not been in any type of flood zones. Luckily for the inconvenience they provided me with a rental car because I was left stranded after they assured me that my car was safe to drive. That is the only upside of this, however I am concerned they will come back to me with an astronomical bill for a computer error. Has anyone else had this issue to happen? this is very scary to drive a car and it just cuts off on you. Bad move Toyota, bad move!
