Other driver assistance problem on the 2007 Toyota Camry
7 crashes 1 injury 8 of the 35 reports for this failure mention a crash, a fire, an injury or a death. Those are the owner's words on the complaint form, not a verified finding, and one report can mention more than one.
When other driver assistance problem gets reported
Owners of the 2007 Toyota Camry report other driver assistance problem at a median of 100,000 miles. A quarter of the reports come in before 65,000 miles and a quarter after 132,500 miles, from 30 reports that carried an odometer reading.
A part like this is normally expected to survive 45,000 miles. It is the 19th most-reported problem on this model year.
The mileage distribution
The reported range runs from 45,000 miles at the tenth percentile to 172,500 miles at the ninetieth, a spread of 127,688 miles across the middle 80% of reports.
A spread this wide points at use rather than design. Towing, climate, service history and city mileage all move a failure like this, so the median is a weak guide to any individual car.
7% of the dated reports were filed under 36,000 miles.
The whole distribution
| 10th | 25th | Median | 75th | 90th |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 45,042 miles | 65,550 miles | 100,000 miles | 133,250 miles | 172,730 miles |
Read the 10th percentile as “one report in ten arrived this early”. Exact figures are shown in this table because it is the table of record; everywhere else on the site they are rounded to the precision the sample can carry.
What a percentile can and cannot tell you here
These five numbers describe the readings owners gave, in order. The median is the middle one: half the reports arrived below it. The 10th and 90th are the edges of the bulk of the distribution, and the distance between them is the part worth reading. A tight spread — say 70,000 to 95,000 miles — points at something that wears out on a schedule, and the schedule is knowable. A wide one, 20,000 to 190,000, points at a fault that hits some cars and never troubles others, which means the mileage on the listing in front of you tells you very little about your odds.
What these figures are not is a survival curve. Every reading here comes from a car whose owner filed a complaint, so the sample contains only failures: it cannot say what share of the fleet made it past 150,000 miles untouched, because those owners had nothing to report. Nor is the mileage the moment of failure — it is the odometer reading as recalled at the time of filing, which may be weeks later and is sometimes rounded to the nearest ten thousand by the person typing it.
Percentiles are shown at all only once 8 readings exist for the vehicle and mode. Below that the middle of a handful of numbers is noise wearing a decimal point, so the figures are withheld rather than dressed up.
What happens, and what it costs
Of these reports, 7 a crash and 1 an injury are mentioned. Owners write their own complaints and the agency does not verify them, so read this as what the reports say happened rather than as a confirmed count.
Putting it right typically runs $250–$1,800 at an independent US shop. That range is an editorial estimate held in this site's failure-mode catalogue, not a figure from NHTSA, and it is a repair cost rather than a diagnosis cost.
The same failure on other years
The same failure is reported on 19 model years of this car. It shows up earliest on the 2021, at a median of 100 miles, and latest on the 2009 at 135,000 miles.
By volume the 2018 carries the most reports, with 38; the 2007 has 35. A mode that appears across most years of a model is usually a design choice rather than a bad batch.
If one year stands out to the left, that is the year to avoid; if the whole line sits at a similar mileage, this is wear rather than a defect in one production run.

What owners wrote
Verbatim from NHTSA complaint narratives, trimmed for length. The mileage is the one the owner gave.
On 26th jan, on the way back home in the evening I was on 105 fwy headed east. The time was around 7:50 pm. The traffic was there since it was a rainy day. I tried to apply brakes on my toyota camry 2007 xle model. I didn't experience the brakes taking effect and the car hit another vehicle at around 20 - 25 miles/hr speed. Now the car is being repaired as we speak. It might take about 10 days to fix it I was told. *tr
My toyota camry 2007 had a unintended acceleration that causes my car crashed to the car infront me. Toyota dealer did something in the carpet and acceleration pedal yesterday. I am still afraid to drive this car for I strongly believed that the sensor or the electronically throttle activate the sudden unintended acceleration of my car. I also believed that toyota are not being honest in finding a solution to these problems. I don't want to experience again the death acceleration that may occur while driving this car. Everything toyota did to my car is just bandaid solution and not solving the main cause of the accident whichis the electronic throttle as in happened to all other high speed that cannot be stopped by the driver, and caused deaths to all passenger. I do not want to be in their seats and experienced what they went through living or dead. Your question below of "were there any deaths or injuries?" is too vague. I do not want to experience death while driving toyota. *tr
I have a toyota hybrid 07 , I turned on car made horrible load noise the speedometer went up to 100 MPH in seconds the two front tires were shaking horribly like the car wanted to take off the car keep making laud noise I honestly though the car was going to blow up . I thank god that I wasn't in road when it happened , am very afraid to get into car there is no way I will be able to drive that car again I value my life too much and its sad that toyota just thinks about money and not lives of people . I say this because they said "well bring it in if it happens again" yeah right and what if it does but am dead , or critically injured. *tr

How far this goes
Complaints are voluntary, so 35 is a floor and not a count of affected cars. Mileages are typed in by owners and cluster on round numbers. And the mode itself is assigned by software reading the complaint text, which is reliable in bulk and fallible one report at a time.

What this is and is not. These are the mileages at which owners chose to complain to a federal agency, which is not the same as the mileage at which the part fails on every car. It skews toward failures that happened outside warranty, cost real money, or frightened someone. It is still the only public dataset that carries failure mileage at all, and the shape of a few hundred readings is informative even when a single one is not.
