My car had been making a noise at low speeds; I thought it was a transmission matter due to age and wear and tear but a Toyota garage informed me I need a new steering shaft. An online search showed other people with similar problems on the 2007 Camry. This is my 13th automobile in my lifetime and it is the first on which a steering shaft has failed, although I have driven some of the other cars much farther. My previous Toyota went 300,000 miles and never had such a problem. The estimated cost to fix the steering shaft is $540; I believe Toyota should provide a recall and fix it for free.

I was stop at the stop light waiting for the light to turn green. When light turn green, I proceeded to make left hand turn into the undivided ramp. The steering would not return to the right. I turn the steering wheel as fast as I can to the right, but vehicle would not go to the right. On coming traffic hit me head on and collided head on with no air bags deployed at all. Bruised on head due to hitting head on driver side window. Insurance company had taken all parts for investigation. My left wheel was torn in half like it was open up by a can opening. Ball joints were off also.

When backing or driving and turning the steering wheel I hear a clicking or popping noise in the steering system. Looking on the internet it appears that Toyota will run up a bill doing repairs when they probably know what the problem is.

2007 Camry xle with only 23,000 miles now has power steering return line leak. It appears that the corolla is currently being invested for power steering problems of some sort. Many parts used to build these cars are proving to be of inferior quality. This is a $250 repair. Why isn't Toyota being required to make all repairs for no charge to their recalled vehicles whether it is a known factor at the time or not. Now they are giving something like that on new vehicles to encourage sales. What about all of us owners who now have vehicles not worth the money spent on them. Shouldn't we receive some remuneration - afterall didn't the NHTSA receive millions?

Toyota Camry 2007 - persistent vibration steering at highway speed - not being resolved by a series of attempts such as balancing, tire replacement, alignment, brake component replacement. The steering vibration was part of a Toyota service bulletin but despite the specific instruction on how to fix the problem, the vibration was never eliminated. Lately, vehicle also showing vibration when braking - also at highway speeds. Brake repaired at dealer without results. Toyota dealer has provided no further resolution option. The concern is if this is a result of the original steering vibration with the vehicle showing further deterioration.

A few weeks ago I started to notice a "clunking noise" when I turn the steering wheel while the car is standing still or moving slowly, like backing out of our driveway or turning into our driveway, parking lot, etc.... I finally had time to look it up online and see if I could find anything about it and of course I did. Apparently it dates back to the '04-'06 Camry and a problem with the steering intermediate shaft. There was a tsb announcement about the earlier issue, but none so far for the '07. From what I understand from reading the forums it appears to be a wide spread issue. I think there needs to be a recall.

Clunk/pop in steering column when accelerating from a stop, reversing, and turning wheel to the right or moving straight. Seems to do it mostly once car is warmed up, not when first driving.

I was driving for work with my Toyota Camry 2007. While accelerating to get on the highway, around the end of the ramp, my vehicle suddenly accelerated with no controls working from the driver's seat either for the steering wheel or the brake. In a matter of a few seconds, the vehicle went a few times in a zig-zag manner and subsequently hit a semi-trailer which was southbound on the highway. My car was completely smashed in the front and totaled later. This incident occurred after my car went through the accelerator pedal replacement as per recommendation of the Toyota recall procedure. I could have been easily killed in this accident. I got a traffic ticket for the first time in my life after having a ticket-free driving record for the past 11+ years. I am pleading 'not guilty' for this ticket because the defective Toyota car was responsible for the accident and not my error.

I have a 2007 Japanese-made Camry. I bought at a premium (well above invoice and above msrp because servco Hawaii does not give discounts) thinking I was paying for a reliable and well-made vehicle. I have had other Toyota but none with as many problems as this vehicle. And, with all the news of accelerator problems, I would like my problems checked and not be charged for it. I do not like the idea of having to pay $103 (1hr labor) X 3 different accelerator issues + another $103 to see why there is the smell of gasoline coming from the A/C vent. 1. when stepping on the accelerator, I will get no response... I continue to depress the gas, still no response. Then finally, the car will thrust forward violently. This has been mentioned to Toyota Hawaii dealer several times saying it was normal for drive by wire vehicle and that it will take some getting used to. 2. when accelerating slowly, the car will rev high without the automatic transmission upshifting.. I have to depress the gas more and the car will rev even higher before upshifting. 3. on 2 different times, the car has revved and jumped forward while not in gear. The first time was at an intersection. I shifted into neutral with the P-brake on and it felt as if someone hit my car from the rear. The car jumped into the busy crosswalk about 2 feet until I hit the brake pedal and shifted it back into drive. Another time was at the drive-thru window in park. The car didn't move but jerked violently. Both were on flat surfaces. 4. when under heavy acceleration, the car sometimes give off the smell of gasoline. It is not exhaust fumes but smells of raw gasoline. A/C in recirculate mode. I also have been having numerous other quality problems with excessive rattling of trim and door ajar alarm going off for no reason.

My 2007 Toyota Camry is dangerous and defective. I have being saying since my first maintenance check at the dealer that the car doesn't seem to be working the way it should. Now it has been recalled for a "sticky pedal". the problems I have are not a sticky pedal problem. The car lurches at times when accelerating. It lurches forward from stops. I have already hit a curb because of it just a couple of weeks ago. I have video footage of the road and the damage to the car from hitting the curb. I can email you the video footage. The car also seems to drift momentarily as if there is a steering synchronization lapse defect. When I mentioned these both to the dealer a year ago, the dealer's service tech said it was just the safety feature of the car working properly. There are split seconds when the steering wheel does not control the car while it is driving. This all seems to happen randomly. I wonder if Toyota programmed the car to do this on purpose to increase the number of times I would need to have the car serviced. The dealership has so far refused to take the car back and cancel my lease. So I am still driving this unpredictable car every day. There is something wrong with this car.

Steering wheel continues to sound as though it is grinding and the noise and vibration of the grinding goes into the gas pedal. I took the car to the dealer and he said that all it needed was to be oiled, which he did on a Saturday and by Monday it had returned.

I leased a Toyota Camry xle 2007 model from patt lobb Toyota, mckinney, tx sometime in the last quarter of 2007. I have experienced the problem of sudden acceleration so many times and complained to the dealer three times, first time with in the first week of leasing, and they told it is due to rack and pinion steering which gives me a different feel, second time they blamed on my tires as they don't have enough tread depth and last time they can not replicate the problem. This problem always happened when I accelerate around 60 mph.
