Replying to: dmathews3 (Sep 17, 2009 2:02 pm) A must read about the so-called sludge problem is in "Toyota Camry: Problems & Solutions - READ ONLY" message #4829 by Hylyner. Please go there - and now, back to the 2007 Camry.

The Toyota Sludge problem was tracked only to mid to late model Camrys and it was traced back to Pennzoil. The problem was these oils had parafin wax in them and because of the wax there was a waxy sludge build up. Toyota came forward sent all owners at that time a letter to take to the dealers to have their Camrys checked and to extend the warrantys on their Camrys. I'm not just making things up like some of the people on this forum. My wife and I as well as two orther couples we knew had this happen first had, Toyota took very good care of us and has in the 10 years and many Toyotas and Lexus we have bought since. I really hate when people don't have a clue what they are talking about and just make crap up just to hear themselves talk.

Replying to: wwest (Sep 17, 2009 8:53 pm) I also read that Toyota quietly changed the capacity of the PCV to try to mitigate the sludge propensity of the engine design. That was at the same time dealers were telling customers it was customer's fault that sludging had occurred.

Let's get back to issues specific to the 07 Camry now, thank you!

| The A/C Compressor on my 2007 Camry failed at 37,700 miles, The repair for this will be $ 3,500. Is anybody aware of simular A/C compressor problems? I do not understand that a part so vital can break with just 37,700 on it. | |
