In that case that would be one very confused Camry, both my wife and I drive and we have VERY different driving styles. She does weight a bit less, perhaps that's how the car tells who is driving..??
Downshifting a FWD to facilitate improved FE via fuel cut is not so discomforting with a 4 speed, but with 6(9) speed...?? Besides which, downshifting a FWD vehicle can be fraught with peril on a wintertime adverse condition roadbed.
Additionally Toyota seems to have continued with the transaxle design flaw embedded subsequent to '98.

...it was shifting rough and they reset the computer / Transmission....how I don't know...
I've got same problem with my 2010 Camry (was purchased in September 2009). Transmission behaves weird shifting from 3rd to 4th gear (city). I think it's good idea
to go for service to reset the computer too. What did they say in the invoice when your car had been serviced? A friend of mine has Subaru Impreza. Subaru's manual recommends to reset the computer after first thousand miles. I did'n find anything about it in Camry's manual. Thank you for the info!
WHO ELSE HAS SAME QUIRK? Please respond.
Check Transmission...shifting rough.
The tech wrote under that.....Reset Transmission.
Is was a N/C and it worked.
I will go for service to get mine fixed too. I have another story: back of the passenger seat rattles on the rough road. It is pissing me off. We have another Camry in the family: 2003 LE V6. I would say the seats are much better in 2003 model.
Mine did too if no one was sitting in it. I forgot about that one. It gets real annoying after a while.
Anyway, this is NOT a common problem with 2007-2009, BUT there are not many 2010s on the road. I know my 2010 does not have any rattles.
In fact, I don't recall ever reading any complaints about that, so yours is the first. Time will tell if it is just yours or a problem with many 2010s. I would guess that it is just yours, because the seats are the same for the 2007 through 2010. Take it to the dealer when you get a chance.
I'm glad you don't have this problem. I wouldn't say that: ...there are not many 2010s on the road. There are too many 2010s on the road already! For how long have you been driving yours 2010? This rattle appeared after >2 months of driving. I will go for service for sure after Thanksgiving. By the way what was the point of final assembly of your car?
I have had my 2010 for 4 months, and assembly was Georgetown, Kentucky, like the vast majority of Camrys, and I have not found a single thing wrong yet - zero assembly errors, not even a scratch!, and I am VERY picky. Nice to say that about an American built car (assembled in the USA with at least 80% North American components!!).
Please let us know what the dealer finds.
WTH? The letter is not dated nor is the envelope postmarked. It tells us what we already know. Remove driver mat until CAMPAIGN REMEDY IS AVAILABLE FOR YOUR CAR.
Sidenote: if your carpet is getting soiled because the mat is not there to protect carpet tough luck suckers. Time for Toyota to get off their butttt and remedy this one way or the other. How many people paid for mats that they are told they cannot use and can decide to pay for off-brand or wait until the lawyers try to get the best deal for Toyota? Sure folks are saying that the mats are safe if we use the clip, but if there is a wreck and the mat is somehow involved, Toyota will say I told you to remove it.
In the letter, I think they even tell you something like if you choose to continue to use the mats, use the hooks, use only one, and use the correct one.
I have had my 2007 for 3 years, 2010 for 4 months - the mats NEVER move. Think of the odds here - of the millions of these cars on the road, there are only a VERY few problems. The NHTSA has found that in every case (I think it was less than 10), people were using multiple mats or did not have them secured.
This has been WAY overblown by the media and the Toyota-haters. What Toyota is doing is making a change to the accelerator to make it more difficult to interfere with the pedal. But the only reason they are doing this is to accomodate those people that do not have the common sense or intelligence to use floor mats properly. If those people did, we would not be having this discussion right now. The dumbing down of America, and the blame-everyone, sue someone, for any reason society!
Seriously, just use one mat, secure it, and be happy - you will not have any problems.
If you have All Weather mats in the vehicle take the driver's side mat out and dispose of it.
If not and you want to be ultra careful put the driver's side mat in the trunk.
However, look at your carpetted mats.
Are they hooked to the anchors by the seats? If not, hook them.
In the anchored position can the mats come anywhere near the gas pedal? NO, there's 3-6 inches of room.
The carpetted mats cannot interfere with the gas pedal...try it yourself.
Use common sense and carry on.
I'm not doing anything with my 2005 Prius mats. They are anchored in place since the day I drove off the lot and they haven't moved one milimetre. The Safety Recall notice is now kitty litter.
You don't take them out to vacuum? Ewwwwww! :P
This mat thing has sure gotten blown out of proportion.
WHY? The All Weather mats don't move at all either. When anchored, they don't come anywhere near the pedals either. And they stay anchored, never move.
Yes, my recall letters were sent to the recycler. And I will not get the pedal changed or remove my mats - no need to.
YES, by the media and people who hate Toyota or other so-called imports.
I became fed up with trying to make my mp3 player work with the USB cable so I went out today and purchased a Universal Audio Cable Kit witch includes a 3 foot recessed 3.5mm stereo to stereo plug. I plugged one end into the mp3 player and the other into the port right next to the USB port and my music played just fine. The only thing is that when you want to change the song you have to change it on the mp3 player. The stereo controls on the Camry are not able to change the song or ffwd, rwd, pause... In the end I'm just happy that I am able to listen to my own music rather than having to flip through radio stations hoping to come across something worthwhile.
How does the Sirius Satellite radio work? Do you have to pay a monthly fee for the access as well as a fee per radio station you want to hear? I don't know if it is going to be worth the money.
:confuse:
The biggest factor is money. I was able to lease a 100% fully loaded Camry v6 XLE with nav, 0 down, 15,0000 miles, 36 months and ALL fee's and taxes rolled in for $360/month. The middle version Avalon (I think it's the XLS) with NO Nav, just the standard features was $690/month with thew same leasing specs.
I went with the V6 Ford Fusion loaded for $380/month. It blew the doors off the Camry especially when it came to Road and traffic noise!
The Ford does have a "rental car look" but it did win MT car of the year and it drives really nice and this is coming from someone who has never owned a Domestic car in 49 years until last week!
Plus, just consider some of the dogs they chose in the past few decades: Chevy Vega, Chrysler's Aspen and Volare, and Renault Alliance, to name a few!
Maybe Toyota figures Canadians are smarter than us Americans!
Are you some kind of official Toyota speaker? The official Toyota recall also include 2 additional fixes: replace the pedal with the redesigned pedal; control software change to give brake override power over accelerator. All these fixes may not cure the root cause; rather they are just patch ups to give driver some controls when the problem happens. NHTSA engineers are still investigating the possible root cause of the problem in the electronic engine control system.
I ripped some jazz albums to my pc and copied it to a CD, about 8-10 albums .
You can have continuous music having about 60 albums in the changer.
I also find using the flash drive inconvenient as you have to bend down
to really insert it to the usb plug and the mp3 player to the RCA jack.
Just do this when you are still in your garage, never when the car is in motion.
The connections should have been on the faceplate or inside the center console
arm rest. My XM satellite is soon to expire any day now. Aren't we lucky
we have many modes to enjoy music.
I have had a Mazda and a Ford that had the accelerator stick down on me. Fortunately, I was able to reach down to pull the mats back, but it was just luck or divine intervention that I had enough time to do so. Both of these cars did not have hooks to hold the mats (it was before all makers had them), but I did not call my attorney, get on the internet, etc. I just went out and bought clips at Wallyworld, problem solved. Toyota is going above and beyond what they should have to do here, but some haters pray that Toyota is hiding something and want this to mean that Toyota is a horrible, devil-worshipping, mother-killing, etc. company. I don't post negatives about other companies, nor do I wish the worst for other companies. I am just trying to set the facts straight here, and I own a 2010 AND a 2007 Camry, so I can help people, not just spread false information. I have followed this because I want my family to be safe, but I am not concerned anymore, and will not do the recall - no need to, if you use one mat and use the hooks.
Many try to read lots of "stuff" into this whole thing, like why these "two fixes" are being done. Once again, it is to go above and beyond what they need to do to ensure that if people do not use the hooks and use more than one mat that they will still be okay - that's it. People, specifically, the Lexus dealership in CA, not doing these two things caused the mess, so of course Toyota is going to put in multiple, redundant fixes to make sure it doesn't happen again.
Have a nice day. Let's get back to the 2010 Camry.
Okay, so lets review:
Chevy Vega - all aluminum production engine, overhead cams. 10 years ahead of everyone else...except for they forgot to add sleeves to the motor.
Chrysler's Aspen and Volare - A slant 6 that would run forever, a "mid-size" sedan that offered good economy for the 1970s
Renault Alliance - eh, you got me here, although the French offer great ride quality while still offering some handling and it did get reasonably good fuel economy for the time.
Actually, it was discontinued in 1980. It was a midsize sedan.
Now I can see why they gave the award to the Ford Focus.
Actually, it was the Fusion.
I see details aren't your strong suit. That explains your vehicle selection.
Aspen and Volare -- that slant 6 came out with the 1960 Valiant, so nothing new in 1976, and those cars were bad rustbuckets too.
Alliance -- well you know how that one turned out.

Do you remember what they were up against? Did the "new" Impala come out that year, and the Riviera? I don't think its hard to win if there isn't much competition.
I also seem to remember they separated the domestic and import COTY up until the 90s I think. Did the Taurus and the Camry both win in '86?
Why would you buy a vehicle with a known safety defect and then not get it repaired? My guess is they won't let you assume delivery until the fixes are in-place.
Because its cheaper create a shorter pedal than a new floormat, I'd think. The problem is the floormat contacting the pedal.
I don't see the quandry here, but I may be misunderstanding ya.
