Failure

2007 Toyota Camry LE 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 5A)

Review

Watch out for ball-joint failures. Toyota won't cover. Dealer claims there's nothing wrong, but car won't go straight above 45mph. It rattles, the rear shocks thump loud and hard every bump (like the 1996). JBL radio is low quality cd, fm, and mp3 all sound the same. You can't open the rear windows above 30 because of the deafening wind noise. The large trans-tunnel gets hot and is tight to the drives right leg.

Review

I love the looks of my Camry. Super powered, too many speeding tickets already! JBL stereo is good. However, the quality of this car is not acceptable for Toyota standards. Cheap plastic everywhere. Terrible transmission that doesn't shift right. Moonroof has a lot of rattles. Tires only lasted 20000 miles.

Favorite Features

The exterior looks great with the lower ground effects package. I love it!! The power is tremendous.

Suggested Improvements

After 6 different attempts, the transmission still doesn't shift properly. Cheap plastic rattles everywhere inside the dash. Poor fitting door panels.

2007 Toyota Camry CE 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 5M)

Review

The car has run outstandingly well from the day I bought it. There's been no mechanical or noise problems with it. I'd highly recommend anyone buy this car if they are seeking an affordable, comfortable, reliable vehicle.

Favorite Features

Manual transmission, design inside and out and the spacious feeling in the vehicle.

Suggested Improvements

Make the seats a little more comfortable for long distance driving.

2nd Camry

Written by: Snorkler on 05/27/2009

2007 Toyota Camry LE 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 5A)

Review

Well this is my second 2007 Camry. It is still roomy, comfy, and fun to drive. The power is good for a 4 cylinder 154hp engine. No rattles, I have now 10k miles. I think this car will last and be low maint w.o. a timing belt to change, ownership should be cheap. I am averaging 29 to 30 mpg. I drive mix of light city and highway at 75 mph hwy. The radio gets static when I turn on the rear defrost. Overall the car has a large rear seat big trunk with fold down seats and lots of storage.

Favorite Features

MPG, room, style, cost to own, cold a/c, large seats, big doors, leg room.

Suggested Improvements

folding heated mirrors

Not impressed anymore

2007 Toyota Camry SE 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 6A)

Review

Don't like the car at all anymore. Hate the braking system. Funky surge after applying brakes, making you feel like you didn't apply them enough. Locked them up twice because of this. Problems with gears not shifting correctly. Dealer said it was a computer problem and they fixed it - NOT. Still having problems. Press the gas, RPMs go way up, hesitates shifting to the next gear, finally jerks into gear. Headrests are too far forward. Seat belt shoulder harness not low enough (even on lowest setting); cuts across my neck. Console lights dim at night, bright in the day. Passenger side carpet loose. Will be my first and last Toyota.

Favorite Features

GPS, Bluetooth, Sunroof, large trunk.

Suggested Improvements

Braking system, transmission, headrest position, seat belt shoulder harness, console lights.

After two years of ownership

2007 Toyota Camry XLE 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 6A)

Review

I'm really over this car... For $30k it rattles, the driver window sticks, the rear vents fell off, the tranny is already acting up at 22k miles. This Toyota was made in the USA and I wish I could say that with pride. It's a piece of junk as far as I'm concerned. The design is great, but the implementation of said design in the manufacturing process very poor. Initial quality was lacking and it's only getting worse... It's an OK car all n all. But for the money, I'm rather disappointed.

Favorite Features

The nav, auto lights, climate control, moonroof, the 262 horses moves the car beautifully, but the tranny isn't right for all that power.

Suggested Improvements

The tranny is just a joke. It's herky jerky, can't find its gear when I punch it, has problems going from "hi rev" to "low rev" driving. It RATTLES. I thought I bought a Toyota not a GM or a Ford...??? Oh, and the tires are way too small for all the power it has. Oh well, live n learn!

Cruddy "leather" seat

Written by: J Carlson on 04/20/2009

Vehicle

2007 Toyota Camry XLE 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 6A)

Review

The side panel of the leather side is vinyl and cracks near the seam. I'm on my second replacement. I use the heated seat in the winter that may be causing problems? Also, the driver's side window is difficult to control how far opens.

Favorite Features

Heated seat in the winter... it's been a long winter

Suggested Improvements

all leather seats, reinforced seams

Declining Reputation

Written by: San Jose on 04/02/2009

2007 Toyota Camry LE 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 5A)

Review

I bought the Camry because of past reputation. That has gone completely down the drain for Toyota. Maybe they are using bad suppliers or are not engineering for superior reliability now. List of issues I and/or most 2007 owners had: Failed CV Joint 40k, uncorrectable dash rattle, poor tranny performance even with updated ECU flashes, failed brake components. The ride, comfort, and drive is as expected, however, the quality and reputation of yore are completely gone for the flagship Camry. Look at the Accord, they have none of these TSB problems! Big regret, should have waited for the new accord! Just paid $300 to fix the failed brake issue, feels like I own a Chevy!

Favorite Features

Suggested Improvements

The problems might be okay if Toyota was grateful on correcting THEIR issued TSB's. But they are complete scrooge's not accepting liability until you can prove the KNOWN and Admitted issue 100%! Bottom line, if you are considering a Camry, go buy a Honda Accord and save yourself the misery.

2007 Toyota Camry - Gutless Wonder

Written by: CaliforniaCommuter on 04/01/2009

Vehicle

2007 Toyota Camry LE 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 5A)

Review

I bought this car for the following reasons, in order of importance: 1) Price (based on features) 2) Safety - front and rear airbags (for the 3 kids) 3) 4-wheel disc brakes 4) Gas Mileage. 5) Reliability (its a Toyota!). The car is gutless, however, and should not be used for passing other cars (I have a 4 cylinder). There have not been any major issues, with the exception of some brake squealing in the beginning, which Toyota fixed. It serves the purpose in which I bought it, and I really do like the roomy interior and the new styling, but there really is no fun factor to it. I still dream of replacing the Camry spot in the driveway with a Corvette.

Favorite Features

Besides the reason I bought the car, they would have to be comfort, styling, and steering wheel controls. Big trunk for lots of groceries or Golf clubs. Also for the price, power mirrors and keyless entry, including to pop the trunk, which is cool. Auxiliary port in a hidden compartment below stereo.

Suggested Improvements

A little more peppy would be nice, and better gas mileage for a 4 cylinder. I get about 21 mpg on average. Seems like they could get a little better gas mileage from this engine, as gutless as it is. But I guess all the emissions controls takes gas to make the exhaust cleaner?!
