Within that volume, owners reported 15 crashes, 1 fire, 5 injuries, and 0 fatalities. No NCAP 5-star crash-test rating is available for this model year in the federal database.
Component-level analysis is where model-year complaints become actionable: the top complaint category for the 2007 CAMRY SOLARA is exterior lighting with 23 filings, followed by air bags (13) and structure (13). Concentration in one or two component groups is the classic signature of a systemic defect; a flat distribution usually reflects normal aging, warranty complaints, or isolated build-plant variability. This model year has 2 active recall campaigns, which means the manufacturer is obligated to remedy the covered defect at no charge for the life of the vehicle — the full NHTSA campaign numbers are listed below.
NHTSA currently has 51 investigation files overlapping the 2007 CAMRY SOLARA, and 1 remain open. Owners comparing this cohort against neighboring years should pair the counters above with the complaint-by-year trend on the parent model page — a spike in a single year often tracks to a platform refresh, a new transmission supplier, or an updated ECU calibration.

Twice: once in August and most importantly 09/07/2024 was slowing down to stop at a dry cleaners when the car reved up and accelerated forward. I continued to apply brakes all the way to the floor and couldnât get it to stop, so ran into the businessesâs van. USAA paidfor repairs to both, but due to fears for my safety and life and those of others, I have not driven it since. I have had it towed for repairs and to be checked by an engineer sent by Toyota.and have had to rent or borrow or pay for rides up until now. The USAA sebt engineer came to check the car but decide the car was fine and Toyota would not offer help with replacement

I own a 2007 Toyota Camry Solara with less than 70,400 miles. Itâs up to date on maintenance and is garaged. In December 2020, while garaged, my entire dashboard cracked without warning. After researching the condition, I learned that hundreds of Camrys and Solaras were affected and that Toyota replaced some dashboards under an extended warranty program⦠one such ZE6 program expired in August 2020. I was not notified. Despite the tremendous safety issue (the entirety of the carâs electronics sits beneath the dashboard including the airbags which, if deployed, can hurl dashboard pieces throughout the interior and blind and disfigure driver and passengers alike). Incredibly, neither Toyota nor NHTSA has issued a recall. Toyota Corp/dealership will do nothing at their expense. I Iive in fear that if my car is bumped or tapped, Iâll be maimed by flying dashboard debris; this puts my passengers and pedestrians at risk as well. Please help me get my dashboard replaced before someth
THIS PAST SUMMER (2020) THE DASH OF MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY GOT VERY STICKY AND MADE A REFLECTION ON MY WINDSHIELD MAKING VISIBILITY IMPAIRED WHICH IS A HUGE HAZARD. YOU CANNOT SEE THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD. I RESEARCHED IT TODAY AND FOUND OUT TOYOTA EXTENDED ITS WARRANTY FOR THIS PROBLEM, BUT IT EXPIRED IN 2017. MY PROBLEM DIDN'T START UNTIL 2020. I WANT THE NATIONAL TRAFFIC HIGHWAY SAFETY ADMINISTRATION TO INVESTIGATE THIS AND REQUIRE TOYOTA TO DO A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM.
