Replying to: kiawah (May 12, 2006 8:42 am) So don't try to run along next to the car, hood up, while your wife is driving! Without wading through the prior posts, I just want to ask if you have VSC in addition to the standard ABS?

Replying to: ray_h1 (May 11, 2006 9:16 am) I think for 2007 Camrys built in the US, the automatic 6-speed transmission is built in West Virginia by Toyoto Motor Manufacturing in West Virgina (TMMWV)...See portions of article below from Toyota.com. This may explain why no-one with a Japanese car has reported the Xmission problem (at least from a survey on another website) So I am beginning to think that Japanese Built Camrys have transmissions built in Japan while US built Camrys have transmissions built in the US. And the problem transmissions were built in West Virginia and installed on cars built in Kentucky...anyone want to comment? Toyota's West Virginia Plant Expands Again, Bringing 150 New Jobs Automaker to Manufacture Additional Automatic Transmissions April 29, 2005 - Buffalo, WV - Toyota announced today a $120 million expansion of its engine and transmission plant here, boosting employment by 150 to about 1,150..... TMMWV currently machines and assembles four-cylinder engines for the Toyota Corolla and Matrix; V6 engines for the Toyota Sienna and Lexus RX330; and automatic transmissions for Toyota's North American-built Camry, Solara, Sienna and Lexus RX330. http://www.toyota.com/about/news/manufacturing/2005/04/29-1-wmmwv.html |

Replying to: kiawah (May 12, 2006 2:00 pm) Surefire way to find out if something is wrong: Go to your Toyota dealer first thing in the morning and ask to test drive another '07 Camry with your engine, tranny, and VSC. If it makes the same noise, then it's likely to be normal. To be even surer, test drive more than one. |

from baylie: **** I have also noticed like pickles007 that when I take my foot off the gas quickly the car seems to skip a gear and drastically slow down . I do not notice it every time, but I am hoping as the car gets more miles this will get better or I will again be talking with my service department. **** Bob, my V6 XLE Camry, does this too. Is that a problem? Do I need to take Bob in to be looked at? How do you know if your car was one of the first 160 (with a transmission problem) built? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, bobs_mama |

Replying to: faldoc (May 12, 2006 6:17 pm) You may be correct. I haven't really been able to confirm that any 2007 6-speed automatic transmission are made in the US, only that TMMWV is ramping up production for automatic transmissions for US built Camrys. Nothing really states if it is the 5-speed or 6-speed. What really puzzles me is why no-one that we know of has reported a xmission problem with a J car since all the early production models from January until end of Feb were from Japan. You'd think that at least one early production model issue would have shown up in that batch. Was this just a coincidence or did all the bad xmissions just get shipped over here? You may be in a unique position to confirm the manufacturing location since your orginal xmission will have the manufacturer stamped on the trasmission ID plate when the dealer replaces it. Good luck. Max |

I have an XLE V6 and my rear sun shade doesn't retract. I am doing something wrong? I read the manual and it is suppose to retract automatically.
