I bought my 07 in august, first i noticed a clicking when i would turn the steering wheel, grinding and clicking? i have the noise at my left ear also, i think it has something to do with the seat belt holder thing? since the weather has gotten cold the passenger side windshield wiper (which doesn't go down far enough when not in use)has a bad creeking noise.My passenger seat shakes so bad when unoccupied i actually hold it because i can see it moving from the corner of my eye! and the worst one of all is the front two windows, are off track, out of line something! I just got out of a 93' chevy truck and the windows did the same thing sweak, squeal when rolled up or down! I hated it driving the pick up but it was old, now this 07 camry does it and well needless to say it has been in the shop 2 times, now for all of the above problems. the last time i pulled up and they took my info, which was same as last visit, they gave me a matchbox to drive, they said, there is the car you will be driving, and pointed to this scion station wagon lookin....i looked at it and looked back at the guy and said "that little ugly car?" he said yea, thats the one. I was bigger than the car! you know what i mean lol they greased the steering 2 times the first time they said it had no grease in it at all! ok then! it has stopped finally! the seat shaking, they said the bolts are as tight as they'll go. I'm surprised my son's voice doesn't viberate when he is riding over there! the windows, they have not fixed, although they kept it last time for several days and called me saying they had to order parts for it, that the windows are out of line! but i guess that was a lie, heck they probably didn't even order any parts, i had the oil changed also, and being a woman, i sometimes wonder if they even really changed it or fixed any of it! i live an hour from the dealership, next time my dad will bring it to them! he has an 07 avalon, guess what kind of car he got to drive when his was in for repair..... an avalon just like his! what's up with that? my mom has an 04 camry, se perfect car, except for the window problem, hers sounds like the whole thing is going to drop out whenever you roll it down! but driving her car is what made me decide on buying the camry! oh well! got a question, my dash light for maintenance is on and i know it need servicing at 10,000 and it's almost there, do i have to bring to dealership for the oil change to get them to turn the light off, or will it automatically turn off after an oil change? what is the deal on it situation? thanks for advice! flowerchild64! |

Replying to: andrelaplume (Jan 09, 2007 11:14 am) The other day I was riding in my cooworker's 5 year old Subaru Impreza which exhibited many rattles, while my Ford Focus of the same age is strickingly quiet in comparison. Go figure... |

I bought a new Camry in 2002. I can attest to a myriad of rattles that persist to this day. Toyota claimed to have fixes but in reality did not. Check the Camry rattles forum and you will see the same 4/5 rattles appearing right thru 2007! Having said that, this is my first 'foriegn car'. Though I really can not call it 'foreign' since it was made in the USA with mostly US parts. In fact its more American than the Focus that was likely built in Mexico mentioned a few posts back. As far as quality, all my prior Fords and Chryslers were less expensive than their corresponding Japanses brand. I paid more for my Camry this time than I would have for a Taurus. But you know what, other than oil changes I have not had a mechanical issue in 5 years. My prior cars were always in and out for nit picky little things. They were usually covered under warranty but still it was still a nuisance getting back and forth and once the warranty was up I felt uneasy keeping the car. Thanks, but I'll pay a bit more up front and rid myself of future aggravation by getting a honda, subaru or toyota so long as I can afford it. The law of averages is with me based on most every mechanical reliablity poll out there. ...and lets not call then American and Foreign unless the vehicle is truly made here in the USA! |

I have a "Rattle". I hear it during accelerations from a complete stop and sometimes when I slow abruptly. It is a rattle that lingers briefly, but not long. I hear it from the front of the cat, almost as it is coming from the firewall. Sometimes, it may even sound like a gurgle, rather than a rattle. Thous it was a CV joint issue, but occurs when I am goin straight an not around a turn. PS, I had a dash board rattle, but after my windshield cracked and Safelite replaced the winshield, all betta!
