Yes, I had TSB applied last spring and this winter, the rattle around the speakers has disappeared.
It is primarily the speakers and defroster vent that is "taped" to not squeek.
Have a great day;
I don't know when your car was manufactured and what release your computer is currently running, but this makes my early model year manufactured car run fantastically smooth. I think it's up to aournd 23K now the last time I looked, and a great car.
I traded my 2007 Camry SE in for a 2008 Accord EX -L today
lost a lot of cash but the aggravation is gone.
lost a lot of cash but the aggravation is gone.
Can you tell us the number you got? Accord - trade = Diff. + TTL...just curious b/c '09 Camry is a round the corner.
I got 14650 for mine off the discouned price of 24213
9563 difference
The camry was perfect but had 41,000 mils i bought April 06
I think i go a ok deal gald to get rid of it....
I think you got pretty good deal on the new Accord as well.
The accord is a way nicer car than the camry
From what I have read, the arbitrators are paid by Toyota and usually use the lemon law in your state as a guideline on if Toyota will buy back your car. So, in California, that means you need to have at least 1 or 2 repair attempts for a serious safety issue....and 3 or 4 attempts for a non safety issue. In CA, a car is also considered a lemon if it has been in the shop for more than 30 days during the warranty period.
Great thing about the Honda..step on the gas and it goes! No HESITATION!!
I have the same EXACT issue. FOr me its horrible cause Iam really noise sensitive in a car. If I dont have the kids, ok I can open the windows and crank the radio but it even 'pops' just sitting at a red light. Its the heat-cold expansion- contraction of the plastic. Again reminiscient of my 97 Grand Prix. How sad.
I can practically push on the dash and it flexes an inch or so. There are sooo many soft weak spots, I dont drive it. Wife doesn't care as much but Its my car and I want it to not squeak.
Plus the A-Pillar cover nearly came off the other day. How frustrating this car is. :lemon:
Let's reserve this topic for problems and repairs.
I can't handle the dash knocking noise which gets worse as the weather gets colder. I am looking to buy a used Regal. I hate this Camry and would not recommend anyone to buy one.
When will Toyota get it right?
V6 WaterPump Repair Procedure
I have had more than one instance of the radio buttons doing nothing (won't turn it on, adjust volume) for several minutes, then suddenly work again. Also the outside temp gauge has reported impossibly inaccurate temps at times. Finally - several times in the past week or two - the drivers door has stuck - I go to close the door, and it bounces back. I'm hoping not to damage it doing this! Is that one an easy fix or do I really need to go to the dealer about that? Just wanted to see if others are experiencing these, and if anyone has suggestions as I'm not due to get a service for about another month, and I'm 80 miles from the nearest dealer!
Thank you very much!
ours has been in several times (6) and no one can seem to correct.
Just wondering if you ever had yours relsoved? if so what was the fix? we have a
2007 Camry XLE V6 with VSC and traction control. It seems to me that if this was
a true mechanical issue it would do this all the time ours will go straight sometimes
and then when you hit a bump then it goes off to the right and then left then straight again.
any information would be greatly apprecieated.
thanks

Is it too late for me to go for the Lemon Law?
What is the process of Lemon Law?
If Toyota wins the law whether I have to pay the lawyer?
Please help me............ I am also from Florida.
I almost bought a 2007 Camry V6/6AT when the new model hit the showroom. The two V6 models I tested performed flawlessly.
Still, I decided it would be wise to wait and see if any complaints cropped up. I was concerned with the 5AT hesitation issue and wanted to be sure it was a thing of the past. It apparently isn't. Even Consumer Reports is down on the new Camry!
Oh well, it was such a promising vehicle with its plush, quiet ride and decent gas mileage with even a V6. It'll be several years of freedom from complaints on newer models before I trust Toyota's new 6AT. I'll probably be interested in something else by then if I haven't already bought it. :confuse:
On the other hand, conventional wisdom does dictate that most people who are happy do not flock to complaint venues to say so, while many people who are unhappy do exactly that. Makes sense to me.
Anyway, this is a discussion designed to help those who are having problems with their 07 Camry. Sounds like you "escaped" those problems, so we're glad to hear that and how about we let us get back to the subject, 'kay?
The re-upholsterer did a good job but he never asked me to 'check it out prior to finishing,.
Well the seat issue is now worse cause he added padding on the side that already felt higher. My seat feels like Iam sitting down to the right. The right side of the seat bottom feels lower and he added padding to the left side which made the difference evenworse.
I guess I wil call them next week and explain what the issue is and ask that they fix this one more time.
I dont have money to trade this in, Ive only had it a year.
Well, I don't see much of the benefit also unless the car couldn't be started at all or w/ very few miles. 17K w/ private party might be easy to get (not at trade in). However, you can spend a couple days and try to trade it in first, you might be surprise how much you can get on the car (because of Camry hype).
If you're still interested in getting another exact 2008 Camry as you have now, 3K is about what you need to pay (assuming your car has no cosmetic damages), IMO.
The mileage did take at least 10,000 miles to get to this level. Car now has 23,000 miles and mileage has remained constant.
As is typical of Toyota's response when I inquire at the dealer "everything is running as designed".
Poor mileage along with an awful automatic transmission in the 2007 (constant upshifting and downshifting at highway speeds) will mean this is the last Toyota I ever purchase.
You need to get a TSB on your vehicle. You have one of the classic problem symptoms, the constant upshifting/downshifting while cruising. It acts as if the engine just doesn't have enough power. The TSB addresses engine and transmission performance, and your vehicle will run significantly better with more power. There were actually two TSB's released to address this problem, the second supercedes the first. This takes about 1/2 hour for the dealership to install this software. I have an earlier mfg than yours, and reported the cruising downshifting as a problem within the first week of ownership. You will find the overall car performance significantly better, and I'm wondering why your dealership doesn't know about this! Just print out this TSB, take your car in and tell them you have hesitation and performance issues, and ask them to install this TSB for you. You shouldn't need the high octane.
4 cyl performance TSB
I have a 10 mile stretch of interstate near me, where I can now drive (post-TSB) and it never downshifts. Prior to the TSB, probably downshifted 15-20 times.
We test drove a Matrix 2-3 years ago, nice car etc but the seatback adjuster was like a ROCK in my side.
No way I coulda bought that and dealt with it.
Oh and HAPPY NEW YEAR to all {happy} TOYO CUSTOMERS :P
Did you ever get this corrected and if so what was the fix?
1. Premium Exxon fuel (no, it doesn't require it)
2. filled up in Wake Forest NC right off Route 1 (Capital Blvd)
3. 2.5 hours back to Charlotte NC
4. all highway, all 70+ mph, much of the distance with cruise control
5. about 40 degrees, no rain, snow, high wind, etc.
6. no hangups, obstructions or slow downs (few people on the road)
7. 30 PSI in front, 31 in rear
8. 9800 miles on the odo.
The trip computer showed 33.9mpg at end of trip. Typically, with the weather we've had in Charlotte (about 40-55 during daylight), I am getting 24-25mpg mixed driving. With more short trips I get 23-24.
Other facts are:
1. had the tranmission TSB performed last year, so no more hesitation, up/down shift craziness with cruise control since then; car drives very well; although I think slightly underpowered with the air conditioning on; I'd like to see 190hp in next model.
2. I have the oil and filter changed every 3000 miles at dealer
3. use premium fuel most of the time (I don't think this makes a big difference with gas mileage, but have found in cars i've owned that the engine remains clean, injectors trouble free)
4. check the air pressure in my tires once each week; tires are rotated every 5000 miles.
5. during the winter months (in fact, most all the time) I don't let the gas tank fall below 1/2 full to try and minimize problems with moisture.
