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.

/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.
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 - -

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".
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
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 brought my car in 2015 and when I told the person at mechanicsville Toyota that my brakes were making a noise they informed me to bring to the shop. When I did the mechanic's stated that there was nothing wrong with it. And for the past two years they have told me nothing wrong and now everything associated with that is wrong. All of a sudden when I spoke to am anger the same thins I stated was wrong with it is now what is wrong with it. The ABS acuator...
The contact owns a 2007 Toyota Camry. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the ABS module failed. The contact stated the gauges on the instrument panel and the traction control would fail when the ABS module failed. The ABS warning and emergency brake indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the ABS module needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 82,000. Updated 06/21/17
I had to beak really hard on my car when I got cut off and now I have a "check vsc system as well as traction control off light constantly on since the hard break.
On highway at 65 mph, speedometer needle suddenly dropped to zero at same time ABS and brake lights lit up on dash. After a few minutes, ABS and brake dash lights turned off at the same time speedometer needle jumped back to current speed indication. No loss of power either way, but has been cycling between for the past week. Not limited to specific speeds of amount of time engine has been running, as it occurs at various speeds and various times.
The short circuiting of the ABS actuator has hit me too. This happened on 03/22/2017 to my 2007 Camry le. It first came up when I was waiting at a red light. The ABS and brake light came up and even when the car started moving, the speedometer wasn't moving. I took the vehicle to the service center and was told that the ABS actuator needs to be replaced. It is going to cost me $2500. I do not want to spend almost half of the car's worth on replacing this part when I won't be surprised if another part blows up. Looks like this is a very common issue with the 2007 Camry model. I am surprised that Toyota is not extending the warranty offered to the hybrid model to the non hybrid one. This is indeed a manufacturing issue and should be fixed. Or is it going to take a few accidents before Toyota accepts its fault. Fuel gauge, tacometer, speedometer don't work NHTSA action number: PE14001 covers just hybrid model however the it's the same same part: Brake actuator

I was on the freeway in traffic. When I step on the brake, the car didn't make a full stop. I end up hitting the truck in front of me. When my car struck the vehicle in front, the airbag didn't deploy.
Brake booster failure. Daughter drove car and applied brakes quickly to stop vehicle. Brakes felt abnormal and vehicle collided with rear end of another vehicle on a city street. Drove vehicle after collision and brakes seemed to be working ok. 7 weeks later daughter was driving vehicle and had total sudden brake failure.
