1) front headlamps burn weak and plastic lens covers yellowed over time, latter problem of which is that lenses can't be cleaned by either commercial auto solvents or by local mechanic, creating safety hazard for driving at night. Price quoted for parts alone via toyota is $818 for headlamp set, plus labor. I have owned 2 other camry models and never had any issue with headlamp obfuscation due to lens material or…

Intermittently, the vehicle will not respond to the throttle. The problem happens frequently, particularly when i brake and decelerate from above 30mph, then make a turn, such as exiting an off ramp, at about 5-20 mph, i press the accelerator to accelerate out of the turn, and the throttle does not respond for about 3 to 15 seconds. I consider this a serious safety issue where i cannot depend on the vehicle…

After slowing to make a right or left turn, the accelerator "sticks" preventing/slowing acceleration in order to complete the turn out of the intersection and clear of oncoming traffic. Judging from internet sites through google, this is a problem that toyota dealerships (mine included) are aware of, but do not want to do anything about. *tr

I purchased a new 2007 toyota camry in june 2006. After returning the car to the dealership several times because of the sluggish acceleration from a stop was consistent and the passing gear downshift felt delayed as if there was a communication lag between the tcm and actual switching of the shift solenoids at speeds less than 50 mph. The cruise control will not set speed. On steeper grades and on the interstate…

Almost every time we exit our vehicle we get a very strong electrical shock. This doesn't happen every day but approximately 3 or 4 days a week. We are pretty tired of getting shocked as it is not a little shock but enough to make you jump. We try to tap the frame of the door before we close it to release the electrical current. This doesn't usually help though. *tt
