Replying to: joescar (Nov 23, 2004 2:21 pm) I had the ISS replaced once under warranty, but the problem recurs, so a periodic lubrication of the ISS is in order, NOT covered by GM. The symptoms were a "loose" feeling while turning, along with various clunking and popping noises. Sure hope Toyota keeps after this and offers lifetime ISS lubes (if deemed necessary). Deke |

| I have a 2005 XLE V6. My problem is that when I accelerate, I get a rough feeling from the transmission, as if it is going over a rough patch. The tranny is not 'silky smooth' as advertised and what I found in other same model cars I tested. The problem is more apparent once the engine is warm, and speeds 0 to 40 mph and when going uphill. Have been to the dealer twice, once after 80 miles and then 1600 miles, the patent reply is 'the problem cannot be duplicated' . Would appreciate any help. | |

Hello, I was so disappointed with the shifting quality of the 02 Camry V6 that I owned I traded it in for an 04 Camry V6. I started experiencing hesitation and what feels like sliding into gear (1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd). It usually gets worse after I get off the highway and into stop and go traffic. I had the car into the dealership about a month ago and they reset the computer. It seemed better for about a week and now it's starting to happen again. These problems are intermittent but seem worse in stop and go (city) driving. The shifting quality (both Camrys) is terrible. I can almost relate the way the transmission shifts to the old Chevys that had the PowerSlide (OOPPSS, I mean PowerGlide) transmission (shame on you Toyota). Is anyone else experiencing these sloppy shifting (sliding into gear) issues? I am sure this is all due to the new electronic shifting (fly by wire) system which Toyota has not perfected yet. What is going to happen to us down the road as our warranties expire and real transmission problems start cropping up because of what's happening now. |

Hi! I bought my 04 V6 Solara at the end of March and have faced some problems. First: the acceleration is "harder" than before. I feel like I have to really press on the pedal for it to speed up. It used to be much easier and SMOOTHER. This problem occurred before but it stopped after I stopped switching back and forth from automatic to stick. This problem occurred again after the dealership tighten my gas cap. Second: For the past week and a half, my car has been releasing this nasty odor that I can smell inside and outside my car. It's like something is burning. I'm not sure how else to describe it. As the days passed, the smell is less and less but it's still there. Please help me if you can. Thanks!

Sorry to hear about your problems with the Solara. As far as the stiff accelerator goes, I don't think you need to worry so much about it. It's probably just an attempt by Toyota to make the car feel sportier, or more European. My 97 Camry LE used to have an accelerator that had a nimble feel but my Camry SE, I believe, feels the same as your Solara in terms of the accelerator. I actually find that the stiff accelerator is better than the loose feeling I got from the 97. It is by no means a sports sedan, but it does add a little spice to driving. The same thing goes for the steering feel. It takes more effort to steer, imitating that of European cars (although I find it is still very light). I believe, though not sure, that this generation's Camry LE's accelerator still has that lighter feel to it. Correct me if I'm wrong, LE owners! I also found that the door hinges on the LE are looser than those in my SE, that's for sure. It takes a bit more effort to open the doors now, but then it doesn't bounce back like the doors on the 97 LE I used to own. Maybe I just like things a little tighter. To me, it feels more rigid. Hope the odour goes away soon!
