The problem with that statement is other manufacturers have been using "drive by wire" for some time now and many of the posters here have driven them and reported that they do not exhibit the same "throttle response" issues as the Camrys.
If the problems were fixed, there would be no more discussions on this forum. My vehicle was an 07 XLE 4. The problem apparently still exists with the 08's.
Do not purchase this vehicle

I highly doubt that anyone would pay 11K next year for a '03 Camry LE w/ 90K+ miles. My .02
80803....13,999.00.. 89,927...13,120... ummmm you sure goodeal2 ?...theres another 162 cars the same i didnt list...then i changed the criteria, cars only OVER 100k miles.... 132k 99,995.00 126 k 10,995 160,116 8999.00 and therre were 37 cars just like it. I dont think im too far off thinking i can get 11,000 for my 03...Remember..these are all 02's

Consumer's Reports is not showing any major problems with the 4 cylinder, but they are with the 6 cylinder.
Sorry to hear about your bad luck, have you ever gone to a different dealer?
As you can see i have a family of Toyota owners, and to be honest everyone of my relatives will not switch brands. I asked the question to see if any of the troubled Camry owners would still buy a toyota. I like to know if it has been a wide spread problem to let my mom know about it. For now i will stick with Toyota, until(knock on wood) something changes my mind about them. I still think it was a small percentage of the early production models with the bugs(i estimate between 20-30% of all the 07s on the road). But that is just my opinion, and i have a family of Toyota's to back my statement up(Toyota's are still very reliable cars).
I hope i don't get bashed for this but oh well.....
My 2005 Camry saved my life. I had no problem with my Camry and all I did was regular oil change every 8000 KM plus transmission oil change and tire rotation every 10000 KM. I will pick up my 2008 Camry LE on Tuesday.
Also, I will let the forum know about my experince with my new car since I drive 200 KM per day 6 days a week !!!
Best ...
I just returned from a 500 mile trip with my 2007 XLE V6 Camry. At the start of the trip, I fueled the vehicle with 87 octane "off-brand" fuel. I averaged 30mpg on the trip. At times, the "on-board-computer" registered 34.5 mpg at 65mpg. This is outstanding for a large comfortable vehicle!
Upon returning from the trip, I noticed that one of the rear lights were burned out. I contacted my selling dealer and they replaced it free of charge! (There are benefits to having the vehicle serviced at the dealer on a regular basis.)
My vehicle has almost 39,000 miles, and it is only 23 months old. At this time next year, I will easily have 66,000 miles. I will then explore the possibility of trading it for a 2009 /10 XLE V6 Camry, (if the trade-in value is good!) ---- If it is not a "good deal," I will put new tires on the vehicle along with a set of brakes, and run it for another year, at which time I will then have about 88,000 miles! This will leave me 10,000 miles on my extended warranty to find a replacement vehicle. My Camry is a quality vehicle and I love the comfort! (I will then trade it as close to 100,000 miles as possible!)
I will look at 2009 / 2010 Camry as a replacement vehicle. If GM is still in business, I will look at a Chevrolet Impala,----- (if the dealer has a vehicle in stock with the LT2 trim level. ---- I WILL NOT ORDER A VEHICLE!). ----- I will also look at the 2009 / 2010 Honda Accord. (This could be a possibility, "IF" Honda decides to construct front seats that are comfortable for Americans!) ----- NISSAN is out of the picture, because the dealers in my area are "very high pressure operations," and their "service" is not "great"! ----- Chrysler and Ford are not even a "possibility!"------ Most likely, I will be driving a new 2009 / 2010 Camry! REASONS: 1.) A quality product, ---- 2.) Great dealer service, -----3.) A professional sales staff that deals with a customer in a professional manner.
Have a great day! -------- Best regards! -------- Dwayne :shades:
