Camry 2007 se v6. Acceleration problems, hesitates at take off, transmission slips like its searching for a gear, smell from a/c. Engine ticks when i take off and don't let it warm up even though its warm outside. Had problems with tires, had them replaced. Loud road noise car not very sound proof. Feels like steering wheel "sticks"for just a second long enough to scare me like someone is holding it. *tr

2007 camry transmission bolts, jerks, snap your body and at 40 miles an hour with foot off of gas pedal continues to keep moving at almost same 40 mile hr speed for many blocks. Dangerous because brake pedal has to be pushed harder than normal in order to stop car from moving. Many 2007 camry's have similar problems if you will just check internet reports. *tr

Getting off on the off ramp and the car lost all power and would not accelerate. The car behind me tried to miss me but ended up hitting me in the side rear. Why does this camry lose all power at once and accelerates sporadically. If this is not recalled and fixed soon i will have to trade it in and it won't be for another toyota!!! My family is at risk and it is not worth it when you don't have trust in your…

We purchased an 07 camry nov 06. At 7,000 miles it started slipping, not accelerating. We took to dealer. They reset memory. Didn't help. Took a second time, reset memory, didn't help. Went through arbitrator, didn't help. The car is unsafe to drive. When it needs to accelerate, it doesn't. I was almost hit by a semi. Toyota is aware of a defect in the computer chip, but won't do anything about it. Please help me…

I bought 2 2007 toyota camrys, both are 4 cyl cars. When driving these cars, and you come off a ramp or you are at an intersection and you try to accelerate, there is substantial hesitation. This has become very very dangerous at times. On at least three occasions when i tried to accelerate there was a 4-5 second "pause" and then the car kicked in and accelerated. This is dangerous. Take it from a police officer,…

Automatic Transmission · Cruise Control
The cruise control/transmission on my 2007 camry causes the car to operate in an unsafe manner. When the cruise control is engaged, due to its sensitivity, the transmission goes through a series of abrupt downshifts causing the car to accelerate and exceed the cruise control speed setting. At this point, the car looses speed and the transmission then shifts back into overdrive. The downshifting starts again until…
