Problems with 2007 Toyota Camry VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

Check vsc system

Excessive oil consumption. takes about 1-2 quarts every 1000 miles, otherwise i run out of oil and it starts to smell like oil when i drive or when car is running. i was headed on a trip today when my car started to drive a little funny and it started to smell like oil again. i was able to pull off to the side of the road and check it and i was low on oil. i put more oil in the car and headed back on my trip. i had the cruise control set and all of a sudden the cruise kicked off and jolted the car while i was driving 70mph. after that it was hard to get my car to shift above the 3rd rpm. car still has less than 150,000 on it. this problem has been going on for a few thousand miles. it has no oil leaks. there are no lights that go off, has had regular and scheduled maintenance with records.

I have continuously had issues with my cars ignition coils and vsc system. the check engine light and vsc system light is always on and even though i've spent thousands of od dollars on repairs the light continues to pop up even with regular maintenance and multiple repairs. my car misfires and turns off randomly this is very dangerous to drive but i have no other means of transportation. the car misfires in idle,while driving at low and high speeds and it wont turn on sometimes until i connect jumper cables to the battery. when i connect the jumper cables i never need an extra source of power i simply connect one end of the cables to the battery and a few seconds later it all the lights turn on again and the car restarts the whole system.

I had just slowly turned right into a parking spot in a public parking garage and was coasting to the end of the spot when my car suddenly started to accelerate on its own. i hit the brake, but there was not enough time to stop the car before it crashed into a large concrete pillar at the end of the parking spot. there was extensive damage to the front bumper, grill and hood of the car. i immediately checked, but there weren't any objects around the accelerator pedal and the floor mats were in place. toyota sent an inspector. the edr report is attached. toyota said there were no problems with the brake or accelerator. they would not however answer my questions about the edr data, and specifically how, if the car was not accelerating on its own, i could have been depressing the accelerator pedal, and while the accelerator remained depressed, simultaneously depressed the brake pedal as the edr data showed. note that my car was up-to-date with all recalls when the incident happened.

Tl* the contact owned a 2007 toyota camry. while the contact's son was driving at unknown speeds, the vehicle accelerated without warning and crashed into the front driver's side of a ford truck. the driver sustained head injuries that required medical attention; however, the driver died at the hospital. the driver of the truck sustained unknown injuries. the air bags deployed. a police report was filed. the fire department arrived at the scene, but there was no fire. the vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic and deemed a total loss. the local dealer and manufacturer were not contacted. the vehicle was not diagnosed. the failure mileage was unknown.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 toyota camry. while driving approximately 45 mph, the vehicle suddenly accelerated on its own and the rpm needle moved to the highest level. the brake pedal was depressed, but the vehicle did not stop. after a few seconds, the contact shifted to the park position, removed the key from the ignition switch, and the vehicle stopped. the vehicle was driven to the contact's residence. the following day, the vehicle was driven to toyota treasure coast (5101 se federal highway stuart, florida 34997) where it was diagnosed that the floormat got caught between the accelerator pedal and the carpet of the vehicle. the contact also stated that a spring was found near the accelerator pedal. the dealer advised the contact to remove the front driver's side floormat while driving. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 55,000. the vin was not available.

Car accelarted without stepping on gas pedal on its own in a parking lot, took repetitive and forceful pressure on the brake to control car from continuing into a wall. mechanic (not dealer) tested and problem didn't appear. when driving car into home home parking spot, backing up to position place, the car accelerated on it own again and stopped only with forceful brake pressure.

While driving to work my car started doing 50 mph without my foot on any pedal. i had to ride the brake to keep it within the speed limit of 20 in the school zone and then 35 on the road. when i arrived at a red light the car tried to move forward even with the brake pressed all the way down. i put the car in neutral and the engine started revving. i turned the car off and back on and still had the same revving and pulling. i pulled off the road and put it in park and the car kept revving. i turned it off and kept it off for several minutes, when i turned it back on i still had the same issue. i carefully drove the car back home (about a mile total trip) riding the brake the whole time to keep the car from getting away from me. no mat was near the pedals, i tried moving to a lower gear, i made sure all cruise controls were off, nothing helped. it was the most terrifying experience i have ever had while driving!

The abs & brake light comes in and when it does the speed motor goes to 0 and also is the air conditioner is on it goes straight to blowing hot air

My toyota camry ce has a problem with dash board. all gauges goes up and down. i have video. i took it to mechanic and base on the scanner everything checks out fine. no code indicator. there are many forums about this same problem people are encountering. this problem must be a recall. it does it while i'm driving.

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 - -

Tl* the contact owned a 2007 toyota camry. while driving 10 mph, the floor mat became stuck under the accelerator pedal and the vehicle crashed into a pole. the air bags did not deploy. there were no injuries and a police report was not filed. the vehicle was towed to an undisclosed location and deemed a total loss. the contact called a local dealer (pauly toyota located at 1035 s 11 route 31 crystal lake, il 60014), but was not repaired per nhtsa campaign number: 07e082000 since it was previously repaired on march 22, 2010. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 71,422.

Basically the abs actuator it's failing like in the hybrid model but are not covered by the toyota extended warranty which is completely unfair as the part failing it's the same basic abs part but on different non-electric variant

Takata recall: i took my 2007 toyota camry 4 cyl for the bulletin it has of oil consuption and it pass the test twice, i knew there was something wrong but as the technicians told me it was okay i drove it like that for some months still had to add every 1,000 miles 1 q of oil. kept doing this until my engine blew. now irs my fault and they dont want to pay for the repair. total unjustice from toyota.

Tl* the contact owned a 2007 toyota camry. while driving 73 mph, the accelerator pedal became stuck in a depressed position and the vehicle accelerated independently. the contact lost control of the vehicle and crashed into the highway divider. the vehicle caught fire. the police and fire departments were called and a police report was filed. the contact sustained minor injuries to the arm and neck, which required medical attention. the vehicle was destroyed and towed from the scene. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 130,000. the vin was unavailable.

My brake and abs lights come on intermittent. when the two lights come on the speedometer stops working and it's difficult to brake. my local toyota dealership stated that my abs actuator/abs module is going out. this is the same year, make, and model of cars that people lost there lives due to brake issue. toyota refuses to acknowledge and repair this issue.

I have a 2007 toyota camry that has intermittent instrument cluster problems. odometer does not increment miles traveled. the speedometer and tachometer will cease to indicate proper readings and drop to zero. the tachometer will then bounce between zero and what i can only assume is a close approximation of the actual engine rpm. at the same time, the abs and parking brake warning lights illuminate and stay on for the duration of the "episode".

Made a 90 degree turn to park car, car rapidly accelerated and crashed into a wall within 25 feet of turning causing auto body damage. data recorder report pulled from third party shows last five seconds before impact and recorded within .3 milliseconds rpb went from 400 to 2000 and speed went from 3.7 mph to 9.9 mph. toyota wrote back and said nothing was wrong with car. if you review crash site and distance car turned to the building, it is impossible to accelerate that quickly in that short of distance. vehicle was in motion on a city street turning into a private parking lot.

Car was recently shipped from overseas. when i got my car, the dash lights will not go off, the abs motor will not shut off causing my battery to drain constantly, speedometer will not work, gas gauge moves slow, engine shakes and feels like it is going to cut off. the car was stationary and in motion. car air condition occasionally blows hot air.

Dealership found the abs actuator had failed. symptoms included: abs and parking break lights randomly turn on while driving. speedometer will stop working and tachymeter will start to bounce. a/c also blows warm. there are several cases of this found online and per consumer reports the 2007 camry hybrid experienced problems with the abs actuator as well.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 toyota camry. while driving 20 mph, the accelerator pedal was depressed, but the vehicle accelerated in excess. in addition, while in park, the vehicle accelerated independently. the failure recurred on numerous occasions. the vehicle was taken to a dealer who was unable to diagnose or repair the failure. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 26,000. updated 12/20/16*lj updated 12/21/16.*jb

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 toyota camry. the contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 09v388000 (vehicle speed control); however, the part to do the repair was unavailable. the contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. the manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. the contact had not experienced a failure. parts distribution disconnect.

Periodically when driving or at a stop, the speedometer goes to zero, the emergency brake and abs lights go on, temperature gauge occasionally goes to cold, and the tachometer gauge fluctuates. toyota dealer says it's the brake actuator ecu which, just for the part, runs around $2000. i see a recall for the hybrid but not my model and noticed other owners complaining about the same issue on the web. my car is only worth about $5000. i have owned camrys in the past but this is the first time i have any real issues with this year model. i have a 1989 that is still running with almost 350,000 miles on it. my present vehicle only has a little over 160,000.

While running (sitting still or moving) the dashboard gauges will go crazy. the speedometer will go to 0, the brake and abs lights will come on and the rpm may bounce around. the temp gauge may also drop to c. otherwise, the car appears fine. this can happen at any time (engine cold or warm, driving in city or highway). the length of the episodes vary from a second (or less) to 20+ minutes. from a little research, i can tell other toyota camry (around the same year) owners have also encountered this issue.

Tl* the contact owned a 2007 toyota camry. while driving 35 mph, the engine revved and the vehicle accelerated independently without warning. the contact was unable to slow down the vehicle and crashed into a concrete barrier. the air bags deployed. a police report was filed. the contact sustained seat belt burns and whiplash, which required medical attention. the vehicle was destroyed and towed to an independent mechanic. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 115,000. updated 08/17/16*lj updated 6/11/18*jb

While operating the vehicle (stationary or moving) the instrument panel will intermittently provide false/no information. some of the known symptoms include the flashing of the malfunction lights for the abs system and parking brake, the gauge needles showing zero while moving or bouncing intermittently, and the a/c system being inoperative.

Leaving my driveway i partially ran over a small tree stump, and it seems for no reason sudden acceleration occurred, i quickly applied my foot to the brake but even without my foot on the gas pedal, the car propelled like a race horse coming out of the gate. and even after applying the brakes the car did not slow down until i steered into woods to stop the car. i am not sure if driving over the small stump had any bearing on the sudden acceleration, but even the application of the breaks would not either stop the car from accelerating out of control or stop the car from hitting the tree.

Driving down the highway or neighborhoods the speedometer would go to 0 indicating that the speed of the car was unknown. not knowing what speed you are driving allows for excessive speed and could easily cause an accident or get stopped for speeding. the abs module is the cause of the failure

My 07 camry runs completely out of oil before it's time for it to be changed. i have had the car checked for oil leaks and has passed each time. after researching this issue i have found that the more miles on the car the faster it runs the oil out and with that being said i now have engine damage. not to mention this car has been the absolute worst. i put my visors down one time and had to take them off because they wouldn't go back up. the power controls in my car don't work. i also found out tonight that there was a recall on the gas pedal in this death trap that happened before i owned it that i was never informed of but knew something had to be wrong with it because it kept sticking!! i am not the only person dealing with this and find it outrageous that it has not been fixed. my children used to ride in that car!! it is a ticking time bomb and something needs to be done about this!!!!!!!

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 toyota camry. the contact stated that the vehicle experienced an unintended acceleration while attempting to park. as a result, the contact crashed into the garage. a police report was filed and there were no injuries. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the vehicle failure mileage was 50,000.

Vehicle having problem with abs module. same as many other complaints on nhtsa website. at random times, brake and abs lights come on and speedometer drops to zero. may last for one or several minutes and eventually returns to normal. alternates between functioning and not but has been malfunctioning more than it works. mechanic diagnosed problem as abs module. brakes seem to be functioning correctly but not sure if working in abs mode. based on complaints on website, can't believe nhtsa has not forced a recall.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 toyota camry. the contact stated that while driving at approximately 5 mph, the vehicle suddenly accelerated and crashed into another vehicle. a police report was filed. the contact was taken to the hospital by ambulance with pain in her back. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the approximate failure mileage was 82,000.

While driving rpm is fluctuating causing the vehicle to feel like it is down shifting when not decelerating. this makes it feel like it is causing unnecessary strain on the transmission......updated 12/08/15 *bf

The car will be running perfect and out of no where my car will start decelerating. it will still lose speed even as i have the gas pedal all the way to the floor. i went from 60mph to 15mph with the pedal all the way to the floor. finally it will start gaining speed but my rpm's hit 6-7 and almost max out. i was on a highway with a semi truck right behind me as this happened causing him to almost hit me. it was hooked up to a diagnostic check and no errors or problems popped up at all. this concerns me because no one can figure out the problem.

While the vehicle is in motion it hesitates to switch gears from 2nd to 3rd gear. as you accelerate. at times there is a jerk as it is doing so. this causes me to either slow down or speed up until it goes into gear.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 toyota camry. while exiting a parking space in reverse, the vehicle independently accelerated and crashed into a parked vehicle. the contact was not injured and a police report was not filed. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 54,000. updated 11/19/15*lj updated 4/9/18*jb

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 not to 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 the back of 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 8ft. 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 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. i then asked the young man who watched it all, if he would go get the owner of the car i had damaged.

The water temperature, rpm guage and speedometer randomly fluctuate, abs and brake lights stay on. a/c will randomly stop working.

When driving downhill with foot depressed on brake the vehicle was trying to accelerate, abs light game on and brake light simultaneously , speedometer stopped working, tach went crazy and car began to idle roughly and try to surge forward with foot on brakes

When taking off from a standing start after a hard brake my car lurches as it speeds up.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 toyota camry. while driving approximately 25 mph, the vehicle shook violently when the brake pedal was depressed. in addition, when depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle lost power and accelerated without warning. the contact also stated that the vehicle lost oil after two or three days. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the radiator detached and leaked water, and the oil ring failed. both components needed to be replaced. the radiator was replaced; however, the failure recurred. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failures. the approximate failure mileage was 187,671.

The car speedometer stopped working while i was driving. the needle went to zero, the tachometer fluctuates out of control up and down, the abs and brake lights come on, the lights that indicate what gear you are in turned off, the gas gauge appears to still work okay, but the mileage stops calculating although the digital display is still on just not counting mileage. i have no way to know how fast i am going or if my car will either not stop due to brake lights being on or just cut off since there seems to be some electrical malfunction. the air conditioning also stopped working. this happened the first time for about 10 minutes, then as quickly as it stopped, it started working again. it has now done this each day at multiple times during each trip for the past 3 days since the problem first started. not knowing how fast you are going is a real safety issue and sounds like this issue has come up before with other toyota owners and should be recalled. *tr

As i was driving and came to the stop my speedometer dropped down to zero, my tachometer keeps going up and down, the abs and brake signals light up, and my a/c seems to stop working. i researched this online and noticed that hundreds of consumers are experiencing this problem. seems to be something to do with the abs modulator/sensor corroding. i contacted my local toyota dealership in clovis and they said they had to start with a basic diagnosis of $129 and that this was not a recall issue. how can this not be a recall of there are hundreds of complaints!? i have a tomtom that can keep track of my speed so i'll just use this until a recall is made and this issue can be fixed free of charge. *tr

While driving down the road at around 45mph. all of a sudden. my abs and brake light indicators light up. my speedometer dropped down to 0. my gauges jumping around. my speed in actuality didn't go down to 0. and, my car didn't stall or cut off. but, if it had. i could have been ran over by a semi truck or another vehicle. prior to this happening, my tire sensor light was on. i took to the dealership, and they said once the tire sensor was fixed, the other would go away. i had tire sensor fixed. the lights went off for a brief period. but, back on again at interval times. the car also seems to want to cut off when idling at red lights. when i googled the problems online. it seem toyota cars of all makes and years are having the same exact problem. i am taking back to the dealership once again. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 toyota camry. while the vehicle was parked with the engine running, the contact attempted to shift the gear shifter from park into drive and a loud noise was present. the vehicle suddenly accelerated across the street and crashed into a parked a vehicle. there were no warning indicators illuminated. there were no injuries and a police report was not filed. the vehicle was driven to the contact's residence. prior to the collision, the vehicle inadvertently accelerated while driving. the dealer could not duplicate the failure. the manufacturer was notified of the failure after the crash and sent an inspector. the inspector stated that there was no claim since a diagnostic test was performed and the brake pedal was not depressed during the collision. the failure mileage was approximately 34,000. updated 07/11/17*lj***updated 09/21/17*lj *cn

The accelerator would not work even with acceleration. the engine is on but the accelerator pedal would not work. *tr

I was driving down a hill about 5mph because it was snowing and there were cars infront of me. i was slowly pressing the brake and then the brake pedal got stuck and i couldn't control the brake, the wheels had locked to and i kept on sliding and i went head on in an suv. car is totaled and i sustained neck, back, knee, and shoulder injuries. and also i don't know if there was a fire but after the airbags deployed there was a lot of smoke coming from everywhere. *tr

Driver was passing another car at ~65mph and when the driver took his foot off the gas the car continued to accelerate. driver applied the brakes, which slowed the car some, but not sufficiently against the engine (now close to full throttle). driver then immediately put the engine into neutral, however this did not disengage the engine. driver was then forced to use the ignition to turn off the car and finally it started costing to a stop while in neutral. assuming it was some transient fault, the driver then restarted the engine while coasting in neutral and the car immediately began accelerating again, driver then again immediately turned off the ignition to bring the car to a stop. *tr

I can not stop the car on red light or any stop sign, there is a abs sign, they suppose to fix it last months, i went to the dealer then they replace some thing. i am worry. *tr
