CarComplaints.com Notes: An increasing number of Toyotas are experiencing excessive oil consumption and the 2007 Camry seems to be leading the charge.
Owners are reporting that their engines are deprived of oil halfway through their maintenance schedules and in some cases the damage is so bad that entirely new engines need to be installed, paid out of pocket. The issue may be a result of defective piston rings.
Toyota has issued a TSB for this problem, but maintains their stance that vehicles equipped with a 2AZ-FE engine are burning through a “normal†amount of oil.

I have a 2007 Toyota Camry hybrid with 132,000 miles. My first experience with the vsc system warning lights happened at 96,000 miles. The dealer stayed I had a leak in the brake actuator and charged me $150 to diagnose, and $2600 to repair, I declined the repair and took it to a shop near me. They repaired the problem for $1000 and it lasted about two years, and ow it's back. I have soft brakes, noise coming from the brake pump and a constant warning bell while driving.
2007 Toyota Camry hybrid brake actuator failure. Toyota enhanced warranty extended the manufacturing defect for both time and mileage. The time frame has expired but the mileage allotment was not even close to end (only 103,000 miles on car). This defect should have been a recall since this is a common issue to numerous Toyota Camry's. they issued the enhanced warranty to reduce the financial burden of a recall and limit the number of complaints by only assisting owners who experienced this brake failure during their time frame. I am a senior who only drives the car to the grocery store. When returning from shopping, all the brake and anti skid lights lit up and we took the car straight home. We then took car to dealership the next day. I am being penalized because I am a senior who does not use their car excessively. The enhanced warranty time frame has expired, but the mileage allotment was not even close. This is a manufacturing defect and the car should have been recalled years ago.
The brake lights systems and ABS lights comes out as I start the car and all gauges stop working, the ac don't work when this happens. I can't tell how fast im going because the speedometer gauge failed to provide the correct reading, the ABS control module and emergency warning indicator illuminates on the screen. This happens while I am driving, it does ramdonly and now is more frecuently.

My wife was driving to work the check engine light, vsc light and ABS lights appeared on the dashboard. Then the brakes were really mushy and it took a lot of force to stop the car. She pulled over and turned the car off. When she restarted the car the lights were still on. She was able to slowly drive back home.
Brakes not working correctly. Brake pressure is inconsistent and all of the lights came on in the dash at the same time! unsafe brake conditions due to Toyota part defect
My 2007 Toyota Camry SE V6 brakes failed to deploy. On my way home from work, I pressed the brake pedal to stop at a red light, no brakes! I pumped the brakes and all I heard was hissing air sound. I believe it is the brake booster from the numerous complaints describing the same issue. I had no warning lights of any kind. This could have been a life ending event. Toyota needs to correct this issue. Where is the recall?

ABS, speedometer, tachometer, RPM and A/C jumps on and off all over the place. I took it to a Toyota dealer, could not find what was the problem but they assumed it may be the ABS module or some other modules may not be talking to each other. I have researched on line Toyota Camry forums and and found they are lots of Toyota Camry owners with the same issues. This is a very safety issue because im not able to see at the speed my car is going when driving it because tachometer gauges among the others gauges working intermittent (on and off) I request for Toyota to place a recall for all Toyota Camry having this mayor safety electronics problems. I would not mind paying for repair if Toyota dealer knew what the problem was but they don't know and if the repair did not exceed ocer thousands of dollars for something that the manufacture has failed to addressed and fix. Thank you.
Vsc warning came on including traction, ABS, brake, + 2 warning lights. The ABS pump keeps making noise every 5 to 10 seconds even when the car is off. The brakes feel different. This happened while I was on the highway going 70mph

/C problems. The service guy stated the problem was not with work Toyota did on the car. It has been one thing after another. I love my Toyota. This is lousy service. I know it has been quite some time since all of this was done. I just have not felt up to voicing my complaint. Unhappy with Toyota service at herrin gear Toyota in jackson, ms.
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.
