2007 Toyota Camry Hybrid mileage at failure

533 of the 602 complaints on file for the 2007 Toyota Camry Hybrid give the vehicle's mileage when the problem happened.

Mileage at failure by component, from owners' complaints to NHTSA
Component	Median	Middle half	Based on
Service Brakes	Median 100,000 miles	Middle half 75,000–130,000 miles	Based on 380 complaints
Vehicle Speed Control	Median 90,000 miles	Middle half 65,000–115,000 miles	Based on 152 complaints
Electronic Stability Control (ESC)	Median 110,000 miles	Middle half 85,000–140,000 miles	Based on 98 complaints
Electrical System	Median 100,000 miles	Middle half 65,000–130,000 miles	Based on 37 complaints
Engine	Median 100,000 miles	Middle half 70,000–135,000 miles	Based on 39 complaints
Visibility/Wiper	Median 65,000 miles	Middle half 45,000–90,000 miles	Based on 30 complaints

A component's median is its 50th percentile, and its middle half runs from its 25th to its 75th percentile.

Owners give the mileage themselves, often as a round number, and NHTSA doesn't check it. A complaint that names several components counts under each one, and mileages that can't be right, such as 999,999, or 50 miles on a five-year-old car, are left out.

These figures describe the complaints owners filed. They don't predict when a particular vehicle will have a problem, and vehicles that never had one aren't counted.

Power Window Master Switch may Melt

NHTSA #15V689000 · Visibility — Power Window Devices and Controls · NHTSA notice

Reported October 22, 2015 · Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing

Potentially affected: 1,814,284 vehicles

Repair completion: 45.68% (latest rate the manufacturer reported to NHTSA; dataset updated November 3, 2026)

Toyota campaign C0M · Owners notified November 25, 2015 · Vehicles built January 1, 2006 – August 31, 2006 (per NHTSA)

Defect description

Toyota Motor Company (Toyota) is recalling certain model year 2009-2011 Tundra, Sequoia, Corolla, Corolla Matrix and Scion xB, 2008-2011 Highlander and Highlander Hybrid, 2007 Camry and Camry Hybrid, 2009 Camry and Camry Hybrid, 2006-2011 RAV4, 2006-2010 Yaris, and 2009-2010 Scion xD and Pontiac Vibe vehicles. During the manufacturing of the Power Window Master Switch (PWMS), grease lubricant may have been inconsistently applied to the sliding electrical contacts.

Safety consequence

If the sliding electrical contacts are not protected by lubricant, debris and moisture that get into the switch may cause a short circuit and the switch assembly may overheat and melt, increasing the risk of a fire.

Manufacturer remedy

Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the switch, applying a lubricant if no abnormality is found. If abnormality is found, the PWMS circuit board will be replaced, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin December 20, 2015. Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331. Toyota's number for this recall is C0M.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

Power Window Master Switch may Melt

NHTSA #12V491000 · Visibility — Power Window Devices and Controls · NHTSA notice

Reported October 10, 2012 · Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing

Potentially affected: 2,519,424 vehicles

Repair completion: 66.99% (latest rate the manufacturer reported to NHTSA; dataset updated November 3, 2026)

Owners notified November 5, 2012 · Vehicles built September 1, 2006 – December 19, 2008 (per NHTSA) · Recall influenced by NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation

Defect description

Toyota is recalling certain model year 2007-2009 Camry, Camry Hybrid, RAV4, Corolla, Corolla Matrix, Tundra, Sequoia, Highlander, Highlander Hybrid, Yaris, Scion xB, Scion xD and Pontiac Vibe vehicles. The power window master switch assemblies in some of these vehicles were built using a less precise process for lubricating the internal components of the switch assemblies. Irregularities in this lubrication process may cause the power window master switch assemblies to malfunction and overheat.

Safety consequence

If the switch overheats, it may melt, possibly resulting in a fire.

Manufacturer remedy

Toyota will notify its owners, and dealers will inspect the switch and apply a special grease that inhibits heat build up or replace any switch damaged by the defect, free of charge. Toyota owners that experience a problem with a switch should not attempt to make repairs, but should contact their Toyota dealer or the Toyota Customer Experience Center at 1-800-331-4331. General Motors will contact the Pontiac Vibe owners affected by this recall and GM dealers will inspect and repair switches as necessary. Those owners may contact Pontiac Customer Care at 1-800-762-2737.
