Currently I am having a problem with my ABS and brake light coming on and my module not reading my speed, temperature, or rpms correctly or at all some times. I spoke with a technician that I have gotten work done with before and he told me that he had another customer with the same year same model call in and their car was having the same problem. While the people at my insurance company told me that it May have to do with the age of the vehicle and dismissed my claim. He told me that the only way they would know is if they could diagnose the vehicle again. But the replacement parts are expensive and I'm starting to think it May be a problem with the manufacturer.
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.
My 2007 Toyota Camry xle lost control of steering, brakes and stability control. The car surged left, right, left the went off the road to the right. The brakes were applied but did not seem to have any function. Massive damage was caused to the body from hitting 2 trees. No airbag deployment.
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. …
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. …
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 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 toyotas for over 40 years and I never had this problem or even heard of this problem before. …
I have a 2007 Camry le and in 2013 I noticed the ABS and break lights on the dashboard come on intermittently, tachometer bounces up and down and speedometer shows 0. This kept happening intermittently. This is a huge safety issue, since when driving on the highway, if it doesn't show the correct reading on the speedo meter and the breaks May not function as expected which might lead to accidents. I got it checked(diagnostics test) at a Toyota dealership and they indicated that the ABS actuator unit is faulty and needs to be replaced and the cost would be around $2000. I called Toyota to complain since this is an electrical/electronic component and nothing really related to ware and tear, they indicated there are no recalls for ABS actuator assembly. …
My Toyota Camry 2007 had a unintended acceleration that causes my car crashed to the car infront me. Toyota dealer did something in the carpet and acceleration pedal yesterday. I am still afraid to drive this car for I strongly believed that the sensor or the electronically throttle activate the sudden unintended acceleration of my car. I also believed that Toyota are not being honest in finding a solution to these problems. I don't want to experience again the death acceleration that May occur while driving this car. Everything Toyota did to my car is just bandaid solution and not solving the main cause of the accident whichis the electronic throttle as in happened to all other high speed that cannot be stopped by the driver, and caused deaths to all passenger. I do not want to be in their seats and experienced what they went through living or dead. …
This morning I was taking my kids to school driving in a straight line under 30 MPH on a neighborhood paved road. As I was approaching the 4 way stop, my dash read "check vcs system" plus all these light came on my dashboard such as a brake light, a circle with an exclamation, a few other lights that im not sure what they are and my brakes were extremely difficult to stop . I ended up rolling through the 4 way stop and was able to stop on the side of the road in a ditch. I was able to drive back to my house going very slowly and with an extremely large amount of space to stop. I then took my car to a local auto parts store to read the codes but they were unable to read them because it was not an engine code. On my way back to the house, all lights disappeared and the local Toyota shop said it would be difficult to do a diagnostic without any lights. …
