| Description of the problem | Started car and the brake and abs lights stayed on and did not go off. Then while driving to my daughters school, and the shop i was going to take the car to, my engine light came on. I picked up my daughter then went to the shop and had vehicle checked. There were had 5 codes that come up. Then went out with the mechanic to see if the speedometer was working as he asked if i noticed if it was or was not working. We took car for a quick drive to see how car was driving. The first thing i noticed was that the speedometer was not moving from zero. The lights all stayed on and the brakes were working. The rpm gauge was still going up and down. I did not have the money to do any fixing as of yet so i decided to bring the car home and park it until i can get it fixed as my mechanic said it was not safe to drive. After this i did some research on line and have found that this is a common problem on the 2007 toyota camry and that the hybrid model has a recall for this problem, but as of yet they have not recalled the 4 cyl or the 6 cyl which is not right as the codes are the same and the issues are the same. The right thing to do would be to recall all 2007 models before this issue causes a fatal car accident. |
