This complaint is about a 2007 Toyota Camry hybrid. I had many unusual occurrences when I first purchased my vehicle. None of them could be resolved because the Toyota diagnostics said they did not occur. I assure you they did. The recent events surrounding Toyota vehicles and at least what has been reported in the press regarding the inability to duplicate or see that the problem occurred is exactly what has happened in Toyota vehicles. The dealer and manufacturer therefore conclude it is operator error. So when a malfunction occurs-probably caused by software-it is compounded by an additional software issue that will not allow anyone to figure out what happened. I am so disappointed in my vehicle as a result and even more disappointed in the people I turned over $32,000 to since everything was blamed on operator error. I assure you there was no operator error as is probably the case now with recently publicized events. I am convinced the diagnostic software or the interface between Toyota's software and the diagnostic software should be checked out.

On March 19th, 2009 I was driving my 2007 Toyota Camry hybrid and it would not stop. I went through a four way stop and crashed into a ditch. The car was damaged and I ended up going to the hospital and having the car towed. It caused a lot of pain and suffering and expense.

Cruise control set @ 70 mph speed limit on I-85 when a tractor-trailer truck rapidly closed the interval behind as I started up an incline. Without warning my speed quickly dropped and the truck moved dangerously close. Stepped on the accelerator to increase speed and within a second or two the cruise control further increased my speed. Do not know what the speed increase was because I was paying attention to the interval between the truck and my car and not what registered on my speedometer. After going over the hill's crest there was state patrol car in the median who clocked my speed at 80mph. Had not previously experienced speed drops and surges with the cruise control and was much more attentive to the actions of the cruise control for the remaining part of the trip. There were multiple instances where the speed would drop from six to seven miles per hour as the car started up an incline and then would rapidly accelerate, overshooting the setting by three to four miles per hour (once over five) before ultimately dropping back to the set speed. This is both a safety concern as well as uncomfortable when there is a series of rolling hills. The Toyota dealer could find no problem with the cruise control, finding no dtc fault codes and no abnormal findings after force testing the cruise system. I suspect the issue may relate to the electronic controls for the hybrid system. As the car went down hill, the gasoline engine appeared to be in "idle/coasting" state and the gps/energy display showed no energy flow to either the drive wheels or the battery from the engine. The electric motor, however, was in charging mode.

The contact owns a 2007 Toyota Camry hybrid. The contact was driving approximately 55 mph with the activation of the cruise control. The engine revved excessively high out of control. The failure occurred twice after traveling for three hours on the highway. When the brake pedal was depressed the driver was able to gain control. The vehicle has not been repaired at the time of the complaint. The current mileage was 15,000. The failure mileage was 14,000.

I was coming out of a bank drive-through when suddenly the 2007 Camry-hybrid, with approximately 34,000 miles ran, did not stop at the exit to the principal street, thankfully no car was coming from that street. It started to run also with difficulty, and the vsc system appeared on the screen. I went directly to the nearest dealer and they said that it was programming issue, they re-program it and that was it. They couldn't explain why it deprogrammed. Eleven months after that event, it happened again. Suddenly, the car wouldn't stop when I hit the brakes, I got really nervous and called a towing company to get it to the dealer. I was at low speed and I could manage to stop. They kept the car for two weeks and couldn't find the problem of why the programming scramble like that, they just reprogram it and that's all for them. In the meantime, I'm scared to death of going to the highway with that car, specially when I think it can combine with the accelerator problem. So far Toyota have not offered me a solution and I'm afraid to use my car for the safety of my kids. Please help by investigating the software on Camry's as well.

I was driving on the freeway and suddenly I smelled a burning electrical order in my car. There were no lights or anything that came on the dashboard of my 2007 Toyota, Camry hybrid. I did have my car serviced for the gas pedal recall. I am concerned about the oil leakage recall that is in Canada. I feel very unsafe in my car and need help. I want my family to be safe.

My Toyota Camry hybrid 2007 model had the uncontrollable acceleration problem on multiple instances making it hard to control and once in a potentially life threatening situation. I called the closest dealership and took it for examination, they asked me to reproduce the problem on the spot, but I was not able to at that instant. The dealership then later said it was likely due to floor mats and I had the floor mats secured (even thought that did not appear to be the cause.) based on recent reports I am concerned that it is likely due to a different mechanical problem acknowledged by Toyota. However I have not seen any recall or repair notifications for my car yet and I am concerned about the safety of my car.

I have a 2007 Camry hybrid and have the same skid/lurch problem as the prius. My car is not being recalled and phone calls to the dealer, Toyota as well as emails have not been recognized. This issue is not limited to recent products. Please let me know how I can resolve this problem.

When I turned the car on at 7:30 am the "check vsc" warning light immediately came on. I planned to take my daughter to school and then drop the car off to be checked at my local Toyota dealer. After about 2-3 miles, the warning light turned off. After about 3-4 miles further, I applied the brakes and got no braking action. The brakes felt as though they had completely lost their power assist and they did not respond at all. I put the car in neutral and coasted until I slowed down enough to be able to pull off the road. I had the car towed to the dealer. As of this morning, they have not been able to duplicate the problem and the "check vsc" light is still off. No indication was left on the cars computer that any maintenance light had come on or that there were any issues.

While parking, my vehicle suddenly accelerated while turning into a parking spot. I did not inadvertently press the accelerator, and the accelerator was not entangled in the floor mat. The vehicle rapidly accelerated over the curb, through an adjoining grassy area, and stopped after hitting a cement wall. Later, the car was inspected by the Toyota dealer where I purchased the vehicle. The dealer indicated there were no problems with the accelerator or other equipment that would have caused this sudden acceleration.

My 2007 Camry has been recalled due to the pedal issue and the mat. I took the mat out however even though my pedal has stuck already the dealership will not give me a rental until they fix the problem or another trade-in. I feel very unsafe and now they are recalling Camry's for other reasons as well. I would like another car and feel I should not have to worry about taking my children and grandchild in the car because they have not figured out what to do. Can you help me get a replacement car?

At 12:55 P.M. I was pulling forward in to a parking space where there was a curb and a tree on the right side over the curb, in tartan park in bloomington Minnesota. My Toyota Camry 2008 gas pedal became stuck and I went over the curb and slammed into the tree and threw me back. People told me at the park that this was one of the cars that had been recalled for this problem, I was never notified. I could have run right in to the children playing if it wasn't for the tree.

Cruise control does not work correctly on rolling hills which is likely going to cause collisions. The cruise control will allow the speed to decrease by as much as 5 mph while descending down the a hill, then as it begins to climb it quickly accelerates way over the target speed. This causes a whiplash effect to all passengers and may cause the driver to lose control and collide with vehicles.
