Replying to: kdhspyder (Sep 26, 2006 7:23 am)  i think you are right about the increasing complexity introduction over the past few years. luckily i can still identify a few pieces / parts in the engine compartment - even change my own oil if so inclined. i can see a future where we'll be at the mercy of some computer hackers to reverse engineer the ECU/TCM/ABS/VSC software to tell us what the heck these things have been designed to do when something doesn't appear to work properly as we would expect. the manufacturer isn't going to release intellectual property for all to consume. i also sense, and I could be wrong about this, there's probably some good OEM engineers on the inside of the company (toyota or other) who don't have access to the ECU/TCM firmware source code... i'm in an analog industry which is heavily controls based and i see this sort of compartmentalization of knowlege in the context of increasing complexity and integration becomming more and more pervasive.

Replying to: gagniercamry (Sep 22, 2006 11:53 am)  "The poor response you described typically surfaces either when the accelerator is depressed fully to the floor or when depressed an aggressive manner. The newer version of the Camry has transitioned from a manual throttle linkage to an electronic throttle control system. The electronic throttle control monitors the everyday driving habits of the operator and then tailors itself to make the most efficient gearshifts. On rare occasions when the operator fully depresses the pedal or depresses the pedal in an aggressive manner, the system may experience a delay in determining how to make the optimal gearshift. At this time Toyota has no plans to make changes to the shift characteristics of the transmission. To minimize this condition, we recommend trying a firm yet gradual application of the accelerator.

Replying to: drjames (Sep 26, 2006 12:37 am) posted a valid defect or problem with their Camry. I'm not sure which phase of grief you are experiencing by the demise of Toyota's quality control rating. I think it is a combination of denial and anger judging by the tone and subject matter you write. Maybe it is because you post your messages so early in the morning after your night shift at the Toyota plant.

Replying to: dino01 (Sep 26, 2006 10:21 am) What address did they give you? The only address the public has is the 1-800 number. I like the way they sign the letter "Toyota Customer Experience" I sure have an experience dealing with them!!
