Re: O4 Camry V6 Shifting issues [morinku] by hatestoyota

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!!

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...

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!

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.

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!

I had a '94 Toyota Hilux that had 3 lugs broken off. The metal in the lugs failed. I would recommend that while you have that single lug repaired, you consider having all of them replaced as long as they tear it down. I fixed mine myself and it wasn't an "easy" dig.

Tell the bumpkins that you are going to leave the car overnight and you want them to "duplicate" the event the next day. In fact, if you can, go up there and get in while he starts it up.

Advice please. by rayh
Dec 05, 2004 (11:46 pm)
Hello,
 
   I intend to purchase a new car for the next 2 weeks. Currently, I have 3 cars in my mind. They are 05 Toyota Camry XLE V6, 05 Honda Accord EX V6 or 05 Lexus ES 330. I have done my research for all those vehicles. But, I still could not decide. Here are the problems.
 
1. Both Camry and ES 330 have the transmission problems (based on the owners' testimonies at Edmunds' board). The word 'hesitation' accelaration scares hell of me. I don't want another Dejavu!!!
 
2. Honda Accord adopted DOHC technology for its inline 4, but SOHC for its V6. I always think that DOHC is better. Am I right about this?
 
Currently, I own 2002 Honda Civic EX. My complains for it are underpowered engine, hesitation accelaration, bumpy suspension, and loud road noises. I plan to trade my Civic in. Good idea? Any advise.
