Camry

  • 168,800 miles
Started the car and noticed the ABS and parking brake light were on. Tachometer was jumping between 0 and 1000rpm. Air conditioner wasn't working. Drove the car a bit with no change except the tachometer jumping a bit higher than 1 and dropping back to 0. speedometer wouldn't move at all. After a bit more driving, the ABS and parking brake lights turned off and the gauges resumed normal operation. Air conditioner also started working. Since this initial problem, the gauges and lights have been operating with the same inconsistency (jumping tachometer, speedometer sitting at 0, ABS and parking brake lights on).

The following takes place intermittently at times: Speedometer and tachometer fall to zero while traveling at speed, engine vibrates when sitting at idle, instrument cluster lights up with multiple check engine lights/ABS lights, etc., A/C cuts out (doesn't produce cold air) and brakes feel compromised. Toyota has been notified about my issue and others, but stands by not addressing this epidemic, the web is plagued with this vehicle type and their owners describing the exact same symptoms (+ countless others who don't have the resources, time or insight to complain), only to learn they will have to cough up $2200 - $3400 (parts/labor) to replace a faulty ABS module. This is a safety concern, not having a measure of speed while you're traveling down the road, brakes feeling uneasy - not to mention the possibility of incurring traffic violations. There are issues with this model vehicle floating around the web with as little as 53K miles on it. It is very selfish and irresponsible for Toyota to turn their head from this issue...planned obsolescence on steroids...anything for a buck until someone gets hurt, or even worse...

This is follow-up on my complaint of September 30, 2014. I am an owner of Toyota Camry, 2007. My original complaint stated "the indicators brake and ABS on the instrument panel started lighting up occasionally after the front brake service on 07-29-14. When it is happening, the temperature gauge, tachometer, and speedometer are moving quickly, up and down and finally to ?0? position." I contacted a local Toyota dealership twice. They could not identify a cause of the problem and suggested more tests, but stated they could not guarantee the problem resolution. I refused to pay for the job which would not lead to the problem resolution. I had many email contacts with Toyota corporation during last several weeks. I asked them if the corporation has a fix for the problem reported by many Toyota owners. I have never gotten an answer to this question. Each time they replied with an advice to contact the local dealership. I continue using the car with the problem for approximately 3 months. It seems the car conditions deteriorate. In addition to the described deficiencies, I saw E (error) on outside temperature display several times, an erroneous indication of fasten driver seat belt, excessive vibration of an engine and even more important, reduced tractive contact of the car on the wet road. Safety of my car with the described problem crosses my mind frequently. All my attempts to get Toyota corporation to investigate the problem have failed.

Our 2007 Toyota Camry all of a sudden started having what appears to be electrical issues. Brake and ABS lights come on while the tachometer and speedometer bounce up and down uncontrollably and the ac cuts in and out while this is happening. It will correct itself for a few minutes and then start acting up again. I am reading many other similar complaints online and feel Toyota should definitely do something to correct this issue.

Camry 4-cyl

Here is a problem with my Toyota Camry, 4-door le sedan, 2007. The indicators brake and ABS on the instrument panel started lighting up occasionally after the front brake service on 07-29-14. When it is happening, the temperature gauge, tachometer, and speedometer are moving quickly, up and down and finally to '0' position. My mechanic was not able to fix it and suggested to bring the car to a dealership. I visited Toyota services. Code U0073 was present in their tests. They could not pinpoint a problem and suggested additional tests, but told me they could not guarantee the problem will be resolved. Considering the said above, I decided not to do any more tests. I continue drive my car with the described problem.

One day after Toyota replaced my rear brakes and rotors, I was driving when suddenly the brake and ABS lights on the dash lit up, the speedometer dropped to zero, the tachometer dropped to zero, and the engine temperature gauge fluttered between zero and midrange. The first occurrence lasted only a minute or two, but on the next morning it happened twice, each occurrence lasting several minutes. It was very disconcerting to be driving on the highway and not have a working speedometer and not know if there was something wrong with the brakes, since both the brake and ABS warning lights were lit. I took it to Toyota that morning and it took them 4 days to diagnose the problem, coming to the conclusion with help from Toyota headquarters that it must be the ABS computer. It costs $1800 plus they are charging me 8 hours of labor (even though they spent several days trying to diagnose it) for a total of $2700. When my wife found out how much it would cost, she googled the problem and in a second there were other identical complaints mentioning the ABS computer replacement.

My speedometer stopped working, ABS brake light stays on, RPM meter dances, and air condition pops on and off, all occurred at the same time. By reading many posts throughout the internet, it seems to be happening to several 2007 Camry's to 2009. Appears to be the ABS control module?

Camry 4-cyl

  • 92,000 miles
Dashboard of subject vehicle started displaying signs of a very sticky substance in the summer of 2013. I purchased this vehicle in Dec. Of 2010 with one previous owner.. signs of melting dashboard did not appear for several years past the warranty. Internet search reveals that numerous Toyota owners have experienced this same problem. After dealing with Toyota directly, I was told they would provide a replacement dashboard but that I would have to pay $624 in labor. My position is that this is either a products liability, implied warranty of merchantability, or latent defect issue and has no bearing on an expired warranty. In addition, there may be a safety concern with deployment of the airbag due to deteriorating dashboard, not to mention the possibility of toxic fumes circulating throughout the vehicle. I firmly believe that Toyota should issue a recall due to numerous similar complaints (see tsikot.com/forums/Toyota-cars-talk-80/2008-Camry-sticky-dashboard-89916/ also www.justanswer.com/Toyota/70no2-Toyota-Camry-SE-sticky-dashboard-2007 Camry-how.html and www.howtomake.org/0pvgkmoneyls3W74/Toyota-Camry-sticky-dashboard.html).
