Well, I broke my deal with Toyota dealer today. I went there, saw the car that was waiting there for me. I felt sad that I need to break the deal and not taking the car home. It looked so nice. I waited for 15 minutes, then a manager came and asked why am I waiting I said that I am waiting for a manager to approve my credit for the deposit as I spoke to the sales person and he said I will get the deposit back. The manager said that it the NJ law not to give the deposit back. After some conversations, he said I need to wait for that particular sales guy. Again after few requests the sales guy came and gave me the refund. At the end, I get the money back, . But what amazed me is the behaviour change from the date of purchase and the date of refund. Also, they completely denied that there is any problem with Camry 2007.
 
Just wanted to share this with you all.

Did you break the deal only because of the possible transmission problem? That's not happening but in a relatively small number of the Camrys I thought... If that was the reason did you test drive the one they had for you to see if it had the problem? That is a let down after you have been waiting and wanting it for a while. I would be down too.

I have been following your story and I am sad for you. I also had a similar decision to make about a year and a half ago, when i was planning on buying a new 05 Highlander V6. The forums were full of posts about hesitations on this vehicle. I sweated and sweated, test drove and test drove, found no hesitations. Still I wondered: was it going to raise it's head several months later?
 
I made the plunge, and i now have 20thousand something miles on the vehicle, and NO hesitation. In fact, it has been an excellent vehicle.
 
I hope you haven't made a decision based on comments in this fourm. It is imperative that you drive the exact vehicle you plan to buy, and test it in your regular everyday driving patterns to correctly know if it is right for you.
 
Good luck
 
PS: I bought a 2007 Camry HYBRID to add to my Highlander. and love it, altho it is a bit more $.

First, thanks for following my posts. Sorry to say, but yes I made the decision after hearing about the hesitation here in the forum. I did not drive that particular vehicle that was waiting for me. I was little pissed with the dealership, otherwise I could have asked about the test drive.
 
As you guys are saying, I am more sad now about breaking the deal. I need a vehicle very soon. I waited for this camry for so long, went on 8/7 and made a deal. OTD was 21800 which was not great, but it was a ok deal.On 8/8, one of my friend told me about this forum, and I was scared after reading all these issues. I just graduated this May, I have a new job and I never bought a new car. I live in a city. I do not have anybody to come with me and test drive the vehicle. If this car has any problem, I will be screwed, mentally and financially, apart from the fact that I may be involved in an accident because of the car (if there is any problem.
 
Well, as I said, it was very painful. I saw the car and saw my name on it in paper and still could not decide what to do! Finally, went inside and cancelled.

Well, now you can start fresh. If you have the time, test drive a Camry and see how it behaves for YOU. Perhaps you can even get a better deal than the one you cancelled, and make the whole thing feel better. But, BE SURE to drive the actual car you are considering buying.
 
No agrument that it is a big decision, but I doubt that you will be "scr%#ed". If the car you end up buying REALY has a serious defect, and you interact with Toyota rationaly, they will be very accomodating.....

I don't think I will get a better deal overall as they price went up $275. But, I can definitely look around and drive a few.
  
One thing bothers me! Some people are saying that the problem developed after 800, 1700 or even 5000 miles. I got more scared about the problem beacuse that can come later.
  
Please suggest.

I read the exact same words on these forums a year and a half ago about the Highlander...As I said, 20,xxx miles later absolutely NO hesitation. I even posted that in the forums, and the folks who were the loudest and most frequent posters would say that THEY would be able to detect that hesitation in my car!
 
I tried to make my Highlander hesitate, over and over again, even asked the posters who experienced it to give exact steps to get it to hesitate....I never did get that hesitation.
 
Please understand that there are folks who are very upset with their cars, and may or may not be rational about it posting on the internet. I once had a car that I was totaly happy with, until i read on the internet that the steering wheel was slightly off-center to the drivers seat. I hadn't noticed, but now, i noticed it every time I drove that car. LOL power of suggestion
 
Some years ago, I had a toyota with a problem. (not serious, just rattles, but it was a brand NEW car, and expensive for me), and the dealer kept saying "normal", or "can not duplicate"...i got very annoyed, and perhaps was not rational with my dealings with them. Long story short, I went to another dealer, with a much more tempered approach, and got the issues resolved.

Thanks for your suggestion. I am keeping my eyes open. I will probably wait again 1 month before I go and search for cars again. Actually I need a car very badly, so don't know what to do know. the accord and altima is on sale, but not sure whether I want them.
