I was trying to back out of an extended parking area at church, a grassy area with pebbles. So, I was backing out very carefully so as to not hit the row of cars parked behind me. Suddenly as I was backing out, the Toyota began to move backwards very fast with a loud roar (racecar sound). While in a state of terror I had to wrestle the Toyota away from the other parked cars as much as I could and keep trying to push the brake pedal down, but the brake pedal wouldn't move. The Toyota struck a red car that dragged through the driver's side, from the front of the Toyota to the end of the Toyota. Still wrestling with the wheel of the Toyota, I ended up slamming backwards into an 8T ft. Chain link fence, on the church property. My foot still on the brake, as the Toyota slams into the fence, the Toyota then stopped. Break and accelerator pedal returned to what felt like a normal position. I then pulled the Toyota up and away from the fence and out a bit away from the row of cars, so that I could get out of the Toyota. Then I asked the young man who watched it all, if he would go get the owner of the car I had damaged.

I bought my car new in palm desert California in 2007. In November 2013, I moved to pinellas park Florida and my dashboard became very sticky. It has progressively gotten worse in the last year. I have since found out that this is due to a defect in the actual dashboard. The dash board is melting. I want to have it replaced. My car has under 45,000 miles on it. It is in beautiful condition. How do I go about making Toyota responsible for the replacement of the dashboard?

Rear window shattered for no reason. Can not find or see any place on the window which might have been hit with a stone beebee or paint ball. No obvious point of failure.

The primary safety concerns regarding my complaint are a malfunctioning speedometer and a malfunctioning anti-lock braking system; however, there are others, which I will describe. While I was driving home, the instrument panel went completely crazy. Specifically, the speedometer went to zero (as I was driving 40mph) the tachometer started bouncing up and down between 0 and 2 or 3, the brake and ABS light came on. Then, everything went back to normal before I could pull over. I soon realized additional problems like the temp gauge going limp and the air conditioner blowing hot air along with other things. All of this happened all together but on and off at random intervals. I did some research, which led me to the ABS issue. According to others with the same problem the repair is $2K-$3K and many had stories of dealers making various costly repairs that didn't fix the problem. I work for minimum wage, this is my only car, and it is 110 degrees in my town. Driving without air conditioning here is a safety hazard. One person suggested unplugging the faulty ABS module to regain air conditioning. When I did this the air conditioning did in fact start working along with the tachometer and temp gauge. The speedometer, odometer, and seat belt alarm still do not work. Furthermore, this is no longer intermittent but constant and the brake light, ABS light, and check engine light all remain on. An ABS malfunction could be disastrous in wet weather. The lack of a speedometer is a safety problem on city roads for obvious reasons and not to forget the seat belt alarm or the odometer, which no longer logs the mileage. My 2007 Camry had low miles for its age (<70K) when these problems first occurred; the car has been garaged and well maintained. I have read many other complaints from those with the very same problems and it seems like a faulty product is to blame.

When driving came up the ABS, brake and engine lights. When I check with a Toyota dealer, they informed that the problem is the actuator assy brake (cost of $2,251.44 installed). Looking for information about the danger of the situation found that the Camry hybrid 2007 had this same problem and Toyota agreed to extend a 10 year guarantee or 150K miles until 2017. The cost of the repair is not viable for me now, and cannot use the car, given the safety issues involved.

The dashboard has become sticky and glossy, which puts a glare onto the windshield. This makes it difficult to see on a sunny day. Part of dashboard came off when a bug got stuck to the dashboard and was removed while cleaning vehicle. Saw many reports of this and talk of a recall, but no recalls show up when I enter my information on the car.

The driver's side sun visor fell down and had to be removed because it was obstructing my view. I was not driving when this happened and no one was in my vehicle.

My 2007 Toyota Camry le four door automatic sedan has intermittent erratic problems with the instrument control panel: The ABS and emergency brake lights come on and the tachometer, thermometer and other gauges bounce up and down this problem started two days ago, the events last for a few seconds to ten minutes, episodes occur sporadically and the car continues to drive normally during the events. I called Toyota (800) 331-4331 and asked for a warranty extension to repair the problem. I was instructed to take it to a dealer to identify the problem. On July 1, 2015, central Florida Toyota in orlando, Florida tried to charge me $59, I refused to pay and they eventually proceeded to determine the problem without charge. The repair estimate given to me says, "$2,217.05 for ABS actuator assy., R&R. the mechanic said this is serious; the brakes can lock up while I am driving. There are numerous identical complaints on the internet but Toyota corporate said this problem is not subject to a recall or a reported problem. (just google, "2007 Toyota Camry ABS and brake light on". consumer complainants allege that the Bosch ABS ECU has a flaw in circuit board design.) this is very expensive problem and so common as to indicate that it is a manufacturer's defect and should be repaired free by Toyota. I am the original owner.

I took my Toyota in to Toyota riverside calif. Both visors would not stay up so the replaced and charged me $223.26. On March 20th 2015 the drivers side would not stay up and I received a recall notice and the represenative said since my car was a 07 it only covered for the recall 7 years and my cars manufacture dated Sept 07 so I was 6 months to late to get the recall taken care of. So I called Toyota motor Corp in torrance and they informed that since I paid for the visors to get fixed and paid for them they would give me a refund back. They would not honor the visor on the drivers side to get fixed and I told them that was a safety issue especially when they knew I had already replaced them and the drivers side did the same thing as the original defect. I think this is there issue to replace the visor even though it was 6 months to late from the date the car was manufactured. They never fixed the original problem with the visor recall, they just replaced it. Please help me to get the visor corrected.

****** complaint***** bought a 2007 Toyota Camry in October 06 and have been experiencing low oil levels for the past 3 years. On a couple of occasions, the oil level has gotten so low that the oil light came on. We have been reporting the problem to two separate Toyota dealerships and they've asked me to return the car for oil checks after 1000 miles, which show a lost of over a quart of oil. Our Toyota dealership has been telling us that it is normal for the Camry to consume over a quart of oil after 1000 to 3,000 miles and there is no problem to fix. I have an extended warranty through fidelity and a service specialist by the name of [xxx] at Toyota of orlando been giving me the run around about getting fidelity to give them the go ahead to resolve the issue. He said that he has called fidelity a couple of times to get authorization but they have not gotten back with him but will contact us when he gets the ok. It has been over two weeks since he said he has been trying to get the go ahead from fidelity, so we decided to call fidelity to find out why they were delaying giving the dealership the go ahead to fix the car, seeing that we have the platinum place. Fidelity informed us that no one from Toyota of orlando has ever contacted them at any time about our 2007 Camry. We then spoke with a service manager by the name of [xxx] and he has been giving me the same story about it is not unusual for the Camry to consume over a quart of oil between 1000 to 3000 miles, so there is nothing to fix. We have owned over 8 cars and has never had this type of problem. I have spoken to several mechanics and they informed me that this problem should not be happening to a newer model car like ours.

My dashboard is sticky and seems to be melting has a glare in the windshield, and the side window casing over airbags along windshield windows is warped and keep poping out exposeing wires.I bought this car one year ago and as I was told it has never been in a wreck. I don't have money to fix these problems so what am I to do?

My car has a sticky dashboard and it's slowly deteriorating. In the summer time it's very sticky and everything sticks to it.

- Houston, TX, USA

Dashboard panel gauges started to fluctuate. They bounce up and down. ABS and brake lights came on. Ac stopped working. I called to Toyota recall center and was directed to go to a Toyota dealer to have the car inspected in my own cost.......

- Phoenix, AZ, USA

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).

Dashboard of this car has been melted, which also gives trouble in visibilty. And I believe poor visibility was the reason behind a crash at 2 way stop sign. And it may cause problem in future as well. It really need a recall. Or replacement with reasonable cost.
