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.

The brakes shakes excessively when braking at speeds around 60 - 70 mph. Shaking transmits to steering wheel if front rotors warp and sometimes shake body of car if rear brakes warp. Shaving rotors fixes the problem everytime. Occurs approximately every 30,000 miles. These rotors warp very easily. They are too thin or of bi-metallic construction which can cause differential growth of metal, thus warping rotors under high heat loads. Besides keep cutting into your expensive rotors, only solution is to go aftermarket. New Toyota rotors will be made the same and will warp the same. High performance rotors will work even better. But holes and slots will be hard to shave locally. It is usually front rotors that warp first, but it can be back rotors at times also. Everytime you shave them, they get thinner and warp easier the next time (less heat dissipation capability). Only permanent fix is aftermarket rotors. I am an ex-mechanic and current mechanical engineer.

I had a weird system lockup (may be ABS lockup)/shutdown issue when driving the 2007 Toyota Camry (recall service done already). I was driving the car slowly and took exit (20-30 mph speed) from NJ-turnpike and heard a strange sound and the car ran loose so I applied a little brake as it was on a turn (exit). The car suddenly locked up and spun around and I was not able to control the car. And the driver side back tire hit on a curb and halted in opposite direction. I called up cops and didn't switch off the ignition. Then cops helped me to take the car thru the exit and it was running normally after that. But I am hearing some oozing sound when the car is running 40-50 mph and > 60 mph speed from there on. I went to dealer/service and they are not giving any clue, and said no issues with diagnosis. I've given the car again today as they were not having the time to do the test drive yesterday to see what the problem with the strange sound is. The incident was scary and could have been a fatal/crash. It was very lucky to escape without any injury or car damages as there was no car/truck behind me for few seconds. My wife was shocked to see it happened as we were travelling with our 18 months old kid.

I have a Camry 2007 xle with 36K miles. I started noticing some brake pulsation when brakes applied at high speeds, over 60 miles per hour, specially on downhills. This sensation started appearing at around 34K miles. The steering did not vibrate at that time. I took the car for service for its 35K miles. Two days after the car was serviced I had a long drive and started noticing steering wheel vibration, some times more vibration than others. All when brakes applied at over 60 mph when applying brakes moderately to strongly. I called the dealer and I said that the car started vibrating after service. He said, they don't remove brakes or rotors when they do minor service to the car. I asked what the problem might be and he said that the rotors might be warped. They would perform a rotor resurfacing and possibly pads replacement, despite the pads looked over 7mm, quite new for replacement. I have read a lot of Camry complaints with warped rotors. The dealer said rotors cannot be replaced under warranty because the 3 year warranty has expired. I am upset because rotors should be not warped at 36K miles and specially when pads look in pretty good shape. Estimated job would be around $260.the car feels unsafe when breaking now. Toyota should look at this quality issues and offer replacement.

Twice in 24 hours, right after I had routine maintenance performed at the dealership, when I stepped on the brake of my 2007 Toyota Camry le the ABS kicked in. I brought it back to Toyota but they cannot find the problem. I rode with the technician but could not duplicate the problem. This situation is dangerous and frightening.

Rear disc rotor and pads failed at 49,500 miles, when the front brakes still have about 60% remaining. It is unexpected at this mileage, to need repair/replacement of brakes on the rear. It most likely would not be found/repaired causing insufficient braking and improper handling in an emergency stopping situation. We were fortunate that we requested our brakes be checked by our local repair facility. Car had been at dealership 04/05/2010 without mention of brakes needing attention.

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 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.

In snowy road, Toyota Camry 2007 car fails to stop with the brake and it feels like as if something is sticking between brakes. This car have ABS system installed so don't know if it is supposed to behave like that. However my other car which runs on drum brake performs better than the Toyota.
