Problems with 2007 Toyota Camry VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

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. *tr

2007 toyota camry with acceleration problems. consumer states the vehicle accelerated on its own on three occasions. dealer told consumer they never heard of a problem like that and could not do anything unless the check engine light illuminated. *kb *tr see also 10203400. *dsy

2007 toyota camry. consumer states unintended acceleration caused a rear end collision. consumer states airbags did not deploy. *tgw the consumer stated her daughter was the driving the vehicle. when she removed her foot from the brake to proceed once the light turned green, the vehicle suddenly accelerated and crashed into the rear of a tractor trailer. one week after the accident, a recall was issued regarding the all weather floor mats. the consumer went to the dealer to have them inspected, but was told the mats in the vehicle were not a part of the recall. *jb

While driving 2007 camry on level roadway with cruise control on at 70 mph, transmission will suddenly downshift several gears causing car to accelerate aggressively and rocket forward. during one such instance my car lurched forward and almost drove under a tractor trailer that was traveling in front of us. this is an intermittent phenomenon. was reported to toyota on 10/01/07. an appointment was set up for local dealer to check out problem. after toyota had the car for full day, they responded that they could not duplicate the problem. upon picking up the car i found that they had not driven the car off the dealer lot. upon questioning the service manager, how they expected to duplicate the problem without actually driving the car, he began screaming and was extremely rude. finally, he agreed to an additional appointment with a 'tech person' the following week. the problem did not occur while the tech person was riding in the car. there was no further follow up testing by toyota. i will no longer use the cruise control while driving this camry. note: this car had it's 'software' updated previously due to sluggish acceleration in traffic. *tr

Cruise control and hesitation. i recorded one day the number of times the cruise control jumped down 2 gears on the interstate in florida. 50 times in 1 hour. the tac displays a rpm of 2,300 then it jumps to 3,400 then down shifts again to 5,400 rpm. yes, it is designed to do this. toyota said. my previous camry did not do this. my complaint is, that if toyota disclosed this 'design flaw' to any potential customer, they would not sell any 2007 4 cyl. camrys. the hesitation is very unsafe, yet they say it is operating as 'designed' . a 1-3 second delay is not acceptable. i am sure that the gas tank was not designed to explode on a rear end collisions on a ford pinto, but it did. the ford explorer was not designed to rollover, but it did. the chev. vegas aluminum engine was not designed to fail, but it did. the 'corvair' unsafe at any speed was not designed to be unsafe, but it was. yes, all i hear is that it is 'designed' to do this. i am requesting that due to toyota neglecting to 'disclose' these known issues that they buy this unsafe car back. i am currently in arbitration. we shall see. if this fails, i will seek the lemon law in my state. *jb

Randomly hesitates when accelerating from a stopped position. also, occasionally pauses while in traffic. has not yet stalled. acts like a clogged fuel filter but after seeing news article realize its a "common issue". current mileage is 11,200 but has done this for at least 6 months. only one driver so clearly has had time to "adjust" to the driver. frequency appears to be increasing. have almost been rearended twice in the last month due to the hesitation. *tr

My wife and i purchased a 2007 camry le, 4-cylinder, 5-speed automatic with 7,700 miles from down east toyota in brewer, maine. ever since our test drive we've experienced lack of acceleration (hesitation) from a stop or after slowing down to turn or proceed, shifting problems (constant up and down shifting at certain speeds; car not sure which gear to be in and feels like the car is surging) and unable to use the cruise control due accelerating too quickly due to downshifting and then overshooting the set speed. some of these symptoms are sporadic; you never know if the car is going to move or not when stepping down hard and quickly on the gas pedal. sometimes it "red-lines" before accelerating, other times there is barely any response at all. so far have only driven on bare dry/wet roads. we are not looking forward to driving it on snow and ice. we were told by det after the test drive and toyota corporation that this is normal performance for this vehicle, even though there are tsbs (technical service bulletins) concerning these problems. eg036-07 is the latest ecm update, which was done on 08/14/07 without any noticeable improvements. we would never have purchased this vehicle if we had only researched the car beforehand on the internet. this car is unsafe to drive and toyota and det will be held responsible if an accident occurs due to the aforementioned problems. *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2007 toyota camry. while driving at any speed, the accelerator intermittently hesitates. the failure usually occurs when attempting to accelerate from a stop, when making a turn, and on major streets. the vehicle would not accelerate when the accelerator pedal was depressed. she has taken the vehicle to the dealer a couple of times and was informed that the failure could not be duplicated. the vehicle was also taken to the dealer a couple of times because the gears would shift as if the transmission were manual, but it is an automatic. the contact informed the dealer that there was a service bulletin that described her failures exactly. the dealer recalibrated her computer and there was a slight improvement with both the vehicle hesitating and the gears shifting as though they were manual. both failures continue to occur. she was informed that nothing could be done. the vin was unknown. the current mileage was 12,100 and failure mileage was 10,550. the consumer stated the vehicle would not accelerate from a stop. the transmission felt like a manual transmission. updated 11/26/07. *jb

The last toyota camry i bought was in 2007, it was the first new camry i ever bought, i've owned 3 others in my life, but this was the first new one i ever purchased. apx 9 months later me and my wife went to the fl keys and went to bahia state park, and upon leaving the park, i still don't know what happened, but when going 10-15 mph, the car took off and we ended up hitting a tree head on. we both ended up at the fisherman's hospital in marathon on our 2nd day on vacation along with a $120 tkt from the fl highway patrol. two weeks later i received a recall for floor mats, i called toyota and after talking with a girl there it was determined that i didn't have the floor mats that were being recalled, i told her than they have more than a mat problem. she said i should send all info as well as medical bills to them which did, i was notified 2 weeks later they determined that the accident had nothing to do with their recall. again i told the person i spoke with that it seems as if they have more than a floor mat problem ,sudden acceleration? *cn updated 03/05/10

My 2007 toyota camry speed up without my help many times since i brought the car. was sent a recall letter for floor mats saying this was causing the cars to accelerate but when the car taken in was told that it was a different matt causing the problem. *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2007 toyota camry. the contact stated that when decelerating the vehicle would speed up before coming to a complete stop and when accelerating the vehicle would slow down. the failure occurred on an intermittent basis for approximately 3 1/2 years. the vehicle was inspected by a dealer who informed the contact that they were unable to diagnose the failure. the throttle body was replaced a year prior, but the failure continued to occur. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was approximately 5,000. the vin was unavailable.

I am the owner of a 2007 toyota camry that is part of both recalls for the floormat issue and the acceleration issue. when i first purchased my car in august 2007, i immediately noticed acceleration problems and called the dealership about it. the car was brought it in and repairs were made, however, the problem continued to exist and i was told that it was nothing serious. in february 2008, we were involved in an auto accident in my vehicle with our teenage daughter an a friend. we were coming to a stop light and there was a car in front of us and our car continued to accelerate and we hit the back of the car in front of us. there was severe front end damage to my vehicle, but thankfully, no really bodily injury to the passengers. after placing a call to the dealership after the accident and explaining the acceleration issue to them that i believe was the reason for the accident, i was told that it could not be the issue and that my initial acceleration issue had already been fixed. i have four children that are in my car everyday and i do not feel safe in my vehicle. my floormat issue has not been fixed and neither has the pedal issue. i am extremely disappointed with the way this situation is being handled, especially since i first noticed the issue right after the purchase of my car and i was assured that it was fixed. please advise. thanks *tr

I am writing in relation to the content posted here - http://www.wcnc.com/consumer/stories/wcnc-jmn-091307-camry_story-no_tc.ce57a8a0.html i have a 2007 camry le 4cyl 5 speed auto, that i purchased 3 months back and i just have 2500 miles on the car. i purchased it from mass and i relocated to ca. i didn't drive the car from mass to ca and it was duly moved by movers. off late, i am experiencing the same hesitation and by all god's grace i experienced this hesitation only in the city roads and not in the freeways. i would urge nhtsa to look into this issue and make the consumers feel safe.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 toyota camry. while driving at an unknown speed, the accelerator pedal was depressed and the vehicle failed to accelerate. in addition, the brake pedal was depressed and the vehicle failed to stop. the contact stated that the lights on the instrument panel dimmed. the failure recurred on numerous occasions. the vehicle was taken to a dealer. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 5,000.

My new 2007 camry se has a very scary hesitation problem when i need to accelerate. i have had the car 2 months and it started right away. my husband drove it the other day for the first time and was nearly in an accident trying to pull out into traffic it stalled for a few seconds. scared him to death! he asked me if that happened to me and i thought it was just the car's quirk. he is concerned about my safety now. i searched online and found that it is a problem experienced by many. i was told to file this complaint so it can be addressed. thank you. *jb

I purchased a 2007 camry 4 cylinder xle aug. 2006. the immediate issue i had was its lack of acceleration. i was told by the dealership (competition toyota of new york) was to change the way i was driving the car to force better acceleration. feb. 10, 2007 i had my oil changed at the competition toyota, asked about the acceleration issue and was told "nothing yet" from toyota. aug. 6, 2007, i was told new software arrived to correct the issue. the verbiage on the work sheet states ?please review tsbeg036-07 for application performed calibration on ecm shift enhancement completed?. there was an improvement in acceleration from stop signs and traffic lights. aug .28, 2007 i took my first trip with the upgraded software. the acceleration getting on the highway was better but not great. i used the cruise control feature for the first time since the upgrade. i drove 200 miles, exited the highway, got gas (shut off the car). i did not reactivate the cruise control. i pulled into a parking garage, found a parking space, began to pull in when the car unexpectedly accelerated, hit the wall and i couldn't stop the tires from spinning even by depressing the brake. i threw the car into park and shut of the engine. there was substantial damage to the front of the car but no apparent damage to the engine. aug.29, 2007,i decided to drive it home. upon starting the car, the cruise control symbol displayed and went off only after i depressed the cruise control lever a couple times. the car was repaired sept. 17, 2007, competition toyota did a complimentary safety vehicle inspection on sept. 21, 2007 and found the car to be safe to operate. i know what happened and like a disappearing toothache i don?t want this issue dismissed by the people at toyota as a non-event. i still believe this is not a coincidence having the acceleration software updated then me having the issues i have stated above. i don?t want to see a re-occurrence of this incident to me or anyone else. *jb

I have a new 2007 toyota camry that hesitates when you need to merge into traffic. it almost stalls. i have almost been involved in 3 different accidents because of this hesitation. the dealer maintenance manger told me that this is a common occurrence and complaint with this vehicle and has stated that there is nothing they can do about it. i also have a friend with a 07 rav with similar complaints. the rpm's are constantly up and down searching for gears. toyota needs to address this manufacturer defect before people's lives are lost. this is a major safety issue. *jb

I purchased my camry le 4 cylinder on 1/31/07, and i had no problems initially. however, when i used the cruise control, the car downshifts to third gear on a slight incline for no apparent reason. three attempts have been made to diagnose/correct the problem with my car's cruise control; however, the service department nor toyota technical services does not know how to correct the problem. information was sent the data to toyota for further analysis. when the car is in cruise control and going down the highway at 60 mph and entering an incline, the car will shift between fourth (2600 rpm surges to 2800 rpm) and third gear (3800 rpm to 4000 rpm). at 70 mph and the car was in cruise control and going down the interstate highway on flat surface, entering an incline, the car skipped fourth and down shifted to third gear. the tack registered 5000 rpm and then settled back to 4500 rpm. it appears that the cruise control is overcorrection when it should do nothing. the car is more than capable of going up small inclines without ever down shifting out of overdrive into third gear. the car performs well out of cruise control. this problem in typical to all 2007 and 2008 4 cylinder camry's. *jb

There is a significant delay when you try to accelerate in the 2007 toyota camry! after a scary incident involving a tractor trailer truck, poor acceleration, and a hill, ( fortunately there was no accident) i called toyota headquarters to report the incident ( because of the acceleration delay). they were of no help, but told me to bring my car to the local dealer to be examined for the acceleration delay. the dealers mechanic reported back to me after a quick examination and test drive that there is no acceleration delay issue ,and that the car is built this way. what the mechanic did do( possibly to appease me) was re-set the acceleration component in the car's computer. this 'adjustment' has done nothing to fix the issue, and i still experience acceleration delay to this day. unfortunately, toyota does not seem interested in fixing this potentially deadly flaw. i hope there are no fatalities resulting from this problem. *tr

Our 2007 camry hesitates when accelerating from a stop or accelerating from a low speed. the situation has occurred several time both before and after the computer was reset. *jb

On lthree different occasions the throttle stuck on my 2007 v6 camry xle. first time with the cruise control on and i could not turn the cc off . car accelerated to 80mph before it settled down .. second time i was merging into traffic and when traffic came to a stop my car kept accelerating ... i avoided rearending the car ahead of me by standing on the brakes while the engine was just racing.. third time .. after stopping at a railroad crossing ... when traffic resumed the car took off again, this time through a school zone .... that was the final straw for me .. toyota says their is no problem with this car or any of the other 2007 i feel the car is unsafe for me and my family along with others on the road.. i asked the selling dealer to trade my 2007 for another 2007 since i like the car, but not this problem ... he did not seem interested and said that toyota would not help me with the depriation of my car. i went to a dealer closer to home and traded my 2007 for a new 2007 .. same model same features .. i complaint is that i owned an unsafe vehicle and i do not believe that i should have to take full depreciation on a car that was unsafe to drive ... toyota denies a problem with the car, but i'm the one at risk driving it ...the second dealer did what he could for me . but i am paying $ 8,000 difference for a car i should have had to start with .... i do not expect to drive a car for one year and 14,000 miles for free, but i also would not have traded if the car was safe .. i am looking for some fair financial rellief from toyota .... or at least make people aware of a serious safety issue with some of their models .. *tr see also 10207133. *dsy

Cruise control acceleration. my toyota cruise control speed will increase up to 3-4 mph when going up a incline, this requires braking or running into the car in front of you. i have use many cruise controls but this is the first one that has every gone over the actual speed setting. on a flat road the cruise control perform the way it should. *tr

I own a 2007 toyota camry that is defected. i filed a complaint with you 11-2-07. my confirmation number is 10207797. i want to know what our next step is in fixing this problem. i see several lawsuits have been filed. i want to be part of that. i still own this vehicle and am paying for it. can you help me? *tr

The gas pedal on my 2007 camry got stuck also. it was brand new. it only had 1200 miles on it. i was getting on the freeway and the car just took off. i was pressing on the brakes with both feet about 1/4 mile and nothing. i thought i am going to die in this car. the car was towed to the nearest toyota dealer. they said i probably engaged the cruise control.i said i was just getting on the freeway. i told my local toyota i was afraid to even the see the car. my local called the dealer that had my car and got them to do a complete check. they then said it was the mats that got stuck. toyota then sent out recalls for the all weather mats. i took my car to my local dealer with the recall and they told me sorry, it's only for the all weather mats. not the cloth mats. i said but it happened to me with these mats. i came home and wrote to toyota headquarter and nothing. the dealer that did the inspections said they drove and drove that car. when i reluctantly picked up my car from them, i looked at the miles, it was 1230 miles. when the car was towed there, it had 1210. go figure. here i am with this death trap. i tell my family i am going to die in this car. and that i believe today. *tr

My wife and i purchased a 2007 camry le, 4-cylinder, 5-speed automatic with 309 miles from scott clark toyota, charlotte, nc. we are experiencing slowness of acceleration when driving the vehicle. we thought at first being a new vehicle that it took time for it to be broken in, but now we have about 2,000 miles and it still having trouble accelerating when driving it. we could tell a big difference the way it was running compared to our previous camry. our previous camry was a 2003 4 cylinder, 5 speed automatic. we saw our local news cast airing this issue on tv and directed us to this site to file the complaint. we thought maybe it was just the way the new engine operated and we are happy to see that others are experiencing this issue and hope toyota can do something for everyone. otherwise this will be the last toyota car we would be buying. *tr

Near miss: 2007 camry se when using cruise control regardless if adequate distance between cars is established, when going up an incline the car gains 5 mph. this causes it to rapidly overtake the car in front. if brakes are not applied a collision would ensue. this was reported to the manufacturer, the car checked with no error codes. *jb *updated 12/12/07 *bf toyota claimed the vehicle downshifted to gain more power. updated 12/12/07

Tl*the contact owns a 2007 toyota camry. while driving 35 mph, the vehicle hesitates approximately 3-5 seconds after accelerating. the vehicle operates normally 8-10 seconds after the accelerator pedal is depressed. the contact stated that the failure has almost resulted in a crash on several occasions. the dealer stated that there was an incorrect computer calibration. the current mileage was 15,000 and the failure mileage was unknown.

Tl*the contact owns a 2007 toyota camry. while driving 3 mph, the vehicle lost power, but the engine continued to run. the dealer was unable to repair the vehicle and found nothing wrong with its computer. the vehicle only accelerates when the accelerator pedal is almost depressed to the floor. the current mileage was 3771 and failure mileage was 1,000. updated 02/01/08. *lj the consumer stated the vehicle would hesitate.

Our 2007 camry le 4-cyl automatic exhibits a 2-4 second hesitation when accelerating form a stop. this problem is intermittent, unpredictable and potentially very dangerous. sometime you press on the accelerator pedal a lot and the car does not move and other times you barely put your foot on the pedal and the car lunges forward. it has gotten to the point that the car is rarely driven because it feels so unsafe. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 toyota camry. the contact stated that while traveling 5 mph, the vehicle erroneously accelerated. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was notified. the failure mileage was 31,239 and the current was mileage 34,000. updated 07/28/14 ma the consumer stated the accelerator pedal did not engage smoothly, as there was some hesitation, when pulling off from a stop. updated 07/29/14

Tl*the contact owns a 2007 toyota camry. the contact stated that the vehicle hesitates and experiences acceleration failure since it was a new vehicle. then, on july 11, 2007, while attempting to accelerate, the vehicle completely lost all motive power and was disabled partially blocking a lane of traffic on an interstate. the vehicle failed to move even though the engine was still running. the police assisted and the vehicle was moved to a safe location. the dealer suggested that the rubber floormat may have gotten stuck underneath the accelerator pedal and caused the hesitation concern. the dealer could not find a cause for the loss of motive power failure. the current mileage is 12,968. the failure mileage for the hesitation issue was 12,960. *dsy updated 09/10/07 *tr

The cruise control on our 2007 toyota camry xle (4 cyl) is an extreme safety hazard to the point we cannot use it. when traveling on a highway with the cruise control set it will downshift and surge 5-10 miles faster than setting when encountering the slightest hill. when we brought this to our servicing dealers attention on two occasions they report it as operating correctly but tell us they and toyota are aware of the problem but there is no fix for it. the problem is repeated in similar complaints all over this site and needs to be addressed. this problem is serious enough for the nhtsa to demand a recall from toyota to fix it. if they cannot address this issue in a reasonable time frame they should be prevented from selling another camry until they can solve the problem. i am urging the nhtsa to take this issue seriously and respond accordingly. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 toyota camry. while traveling on the highway at speeds of 70 to 75 mph, he attempted to pass another vehicle when the accelerator pedal became stuck in the open throttle position. the vehicle proceeded to accelerate to speeds of 115 mph. the cruise control light began to illuminate and he then put the gear selector into neutral. he used tremendous force to depress the brakes until smoke began emitting from the pedal. the vehicle coasted to a halt and was taken to a repair shop. the service dealer advised spraying the brake pedal with wd40 lubricating oil. on a later date, the vehicle exhibited the exact same failure. the vehicle was taken to the dealer where unknown repairs were performed. he as also advised the accelerator pedal was defective. the approximate failure mileage was 1,500 and the current was 17,000. updated 4/26/10 *cn updated 05/06/10. *jb

Tl*the contact owns a 2007 toyota camry le. while stopped at a red light the contact engaged the accelerator pedal and nothing happened then the vehicle surged. the contact stated that the vehicle stopped accelerating on its own. the vehicle was taken back to the dealer who stated that there was a glitch in the computer and not to be concerned. the contact referenced recall 09v388000, vehicle speed control:accelerator pedal and the recall work was performed in 2009. he also referenced recall 10v017000, vehicle speed control:accelerator pedal and stated that recall work was performed on february 16, 2010. the acceleration failure occurred intermittently and when it started accelerating the vehicle leveled out on its own. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was 150 and the current mileage was 37,013. updated 1/19/2011 the consumer and his wife experienced sudden acceleration on four occassions. updated 03/28/11

Tl*the contact owns a 2007 toyota camry. the contact was driving approximately between 40-55 mph on normal road conditions when the accelerator pedal began to stick. there was an application of excessive force to the brake pedal with both feet. the vehicle skidded and loss control and suddenly, the accelerator pedal released. the driver was able to gain control and resume to normal operation. the failure occurred constantly at least three times a week. the vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer on nine separate occasions for the identical failures. there were replacements of the transmission control module (tcm) and transmission. the failures continued which there were no resolutions. the failure mileage was unavailable.

At low speeds, when normally pressing the gas pedal, the automobile hesitates for an extended period and then "jerks" forward after this delay. there appears to be a "dead spot" in the acceleration pedal position where the car acceleration hesitates. when pulling into a traffic lane, this unexpected hesitation leaves the car occupants in a dangerous situation of being hit by other automobiles. the condition is at its worst when the automobile engine has not fully warmed. i feel the unexpected hesitation at low speeds of my automobile is a significant safety concern and may result in serious injury or death of automobile occupants if not corrected. *ak

I slowed down the car at the end of an interstate exit ramp to check for traffic and thinking i had enough time to cross the intersection i gave it gas and got very little acceleration. when i pushed the gas to the floor i still got no more acceleration. i wrote the toyota service department to make an appointment to bring it in and received the response that they were aware of the problem, but at this time there was no solution so do not bring the car in. if there had been more traffic in that situation it would have caused a wreck. acceleration is also very erratic when using cruise control, going up a slight hill will cause the motor to race. also, it requires quite a lot of force to stop the car. *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2007 toyota camry. she purchased the vehicle in june of 2007 and within a few months she contacted the dealer because the vehicle hesitated when making turns and decreasing speed. when the driver engaged the accelerator pedal the speed rapidly increased without warning. the dealer stated that there was no fix for the failure; however, they reprogrammed the computer system. the dealers engineer inspected the vehicle and concluded that it was a normal standard for the vehicle to hesitate and that some models were worse than others. the failure mileage was 9,084 and the current mileage was 26,898.

My wife and i purchased a 2007 camry le, 4-cylinder, 5-speed from toyota of orange in orange california. ever since our test drive we've experienced lack of acceleration (hesitation) from a stop or after slowing down to turn or proceed, shifting problems (constant up and down shifting at certain speeds; car not sure which gear to be in and feels like the car is surging) and unable to use the cruise control due accelerating too quickly due to downshifting and then overshooting the set speed. some of these symptoms are sporadic; you never know if the car is going to move or not when stepping down hard and quickly on the gas pedal. sometimes it "red-lines" before accelerating, other times there is barely any response at all. reported it to the dealer 3 times, had the software updated without noticeable improvements. eg036-07 is the latest ecm update,. we would never have purchased this vehicle if we had only researched the car beforehand on the internet. me and my wife could never get used to the gas pedal because the car responded differently every time. one day my wife came from work and attempted to park the car into a spot on the parking structure,she pressed the gas pedal and the car accelerated really fast driving through the wall almost into the community pool. i have stopped making payments on the car since the car is sitting in the garage and very upset with toyota since i reported the problem to the dealer 3 times and called toyota corp on the phone and received no help. *jb
