Replying to: mcgirl0730 (Nov 25, 2004 2:36 pm) My 04 Camry V6 LE is the same, generally smooth shifting but hesitation from a complete stop. I took mine in to Toyota dealer and was told that the hesitation was due to the electronic accelerator which replaced a direct accelerator cable. This sounds plausible, unfortunately, I don't know have enough auto knowledge to know whether it's really true.

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! Replies to this message: cafastlane (Nov 30, 2004 1:16 pm)

Replying to: net1 (Nov 24, 2004 11:03 am) A few of us had the same problem with the 2004 LE 4 cylinder Camrys. See post 2613. I finally got it fixed after 8 trips back to dealership. Sounds like the problem also exits with the 6 cylinders. I filed complaint with Toyato 2 times. Keep after them...it will be fixed eventually.

Replying to: morinku (Nov 24, 2004 6:01 pm) I have tried for a year now to get Toyota to fix my transmission with no luck. My last attempt was today, so this week I will trade the car for whatever. The Camry with a sticker price of 29,000 has been nothing but trouble from day one. The car has no idea when to shift. Sometimes it will go and sometimes it will not. I will not risk my life by having a car that will sometimes go when I pull out and sometimes leave me sitting in the middle of road waiting to change gears. I have dealt with some of the most unprofessional people at Toyota. The car has been reported to the NHTSA but nothing has been done. This is my last Toyota. It is a shame there is no protection for consumers. Good luck with yours!! Replies to this message: dekester (Nov 30, 2004 6:09 am) nikki1 (Dec 06, 2004 9:09 pm)

Replying to: hatestoyota (Nov 29, 2004 4:48 pm) Sure, you have protection! Ever hear of the Lemon Law? If there were more then three attempts to fix the same problem, Toyota would have to buy the car back and/or replace it.   Did you try that route? Filing a complaint with NHTSA does not force auto manufacturers to recall the cars or make good on yours; you merely lodge a complaint which others can see and file their own complaints. Enough similar problems, then the NHTSA looks into it, Toyota maybe sends out a TSB for repairs. Further problems forces a recall.....   I hate to hear someone rant and rave against a complete company when there was a problem with one product. If you did nothing further than yell and scream at a service advisor at the dealership, you did nothing to help your cause. If you followed up with Toyota directly, you were heading in the right direction, but a visit with a Lemon Law attorney should have been your next move.   Hope whatever car you get will be more trouble-free than your Camry. Just stay away from GM products....and some Fords.....and... Replies to this message: nikki1 (Dec 06, 2004 9:09 pm)

Replying to: camrysev6owner (Nov 26, 2004 7:03 am) Thank you for your replies. I thought the acceleration problem was odd because it wasn't like that when I first bought the car. I'm glad it isn't a major issue I have to deal with.   oh.. and I'm not sure whether there was a plastic bad in my exhaust pipe but I will check that out. Thanks again!

#2727 of 5279 Front Passenger Toe Room by camrysev6owner Dec 01, 2004 (4:11 pm)
Not sure if you'd all agree with me, but I find the front passenger's toe room in the current Camry a bit tight. I'm 6'2" and I fit comfortably in the driver's seat. However, whenever I sit in the passenger's seat, I find that there's not enough toe room particularly to the left and right of the feet. I usually slide my feet in the middle where there's a little more toe room, but after awhile I get tired of sitting with my legs together.   If I were to sit with legs together the entire trip, I would have to move the seat back so that my legs are almost straight. That way my legs would be resting flat on the seat. But then I would find that my feet would be placed at an awkward angle and eventually causes stress on the ankles. However, I'm usually the driver so maybe I'm just too accustomed to the seat there.   Does anyone else find that they have the same problem in their Camrys? My old 97 Camry's passenger toe room was better, but still not the best. Wonder what the Accords and Altimas toe rooms are like.
#2728 of 5279 clicking in new camry steering by joescar Dec 03, 2004 (12:11 pm)
My dealer has informed me that intermediate steering shafts are on back order for my 2004 Camry LE. The problem is a "clicking" when the wheel is turned. Others may have the same problem. Check with your dealers before the problem gets worse!
