Hello Dwayne - thanks very much for your views on the V-6 Camry and seating comfort in those cars. Having been away to Fall Hershey in the meantime since I posted my issues, I gather there are fewer concerns with the current models. The Consumers reports are based on earlier V-6 models and they should be corrected by now. I'll be looking at the Impala as well as seating comfort is all important since I'm 6 ft 3 ins. The front lower seat cushion is often too short for me, A recent 1,500 km drive in a rented RAV 4 was a classic example to me - the seating was very poor in that model.- support was almost non-existant for taller people. All of the other responses to me were appreciated - Edmunds is the best website on car issues ! - My best regards go to everyone out there - from a friend in Canada

Thank you for your responses (love this forum!). I finally got the dealer to change the power-steering pump covered under warranty (after extensive road test comparing my car and the camry rental units). Unfortunately, I'm still hearing the same noise and it doesn't seem to get better.
I've scheduled another appointment with service advisor, but would like to get feedback as to what could possibly go wrong (assuming they install a working power steering pump properly).

Canadian whose dealer is TSB ignorant by notmybmw

Hi, gang, thanks for all the interesting reading.
 
Two questions:
1. Does anyone have a downloadable source for the famous 068-08 TSB? Please post a link. I hear all about this TSB but have never seen the actual doc. In fact, it might be a US model specific fix, but I'd like to see it anyway. Thanks.
 
2. Secondly, does anyone in/from Canada have a list of all the TSBs that have been issued for the Canadian version of the '07 Camry 4cyl 5speed automatic? My dealer (Performance Toyota in St. Catharines, Ontario) has a real bad attitude......didn't even know that TSB's existed relating to hesitation and acceleration and shifting problems. (Did their best to make me look like an idiot and a trouble maker.)
 
I'd really like to educate them......and put a flyer on the windshield of every recent model Camry I see in town. (Performance is the ONLY dealer in town....and I'm sure they'd love to see all their Camry owners about this fix ASAP........NOT!)
 
They've booked me in to perform what THEY are calling a 2650! Did I read somewhere on this forum that this is an internal Toyota admin number and not the actual number of the TSB?
 
Thanks for any informed responses.
P.S. Can I see a show of hands for whether or not there should be a "Canadian only" version of the "problems" forum?......knowing how many of the fuel, exhaust, emissions etc systems are different from one country to another? Just askin.
Ciao!

Hey Canada--
I'd love to see that TSB too. My transmission ('07 Camry LE 6 speed automatic) was replaced 2 times already. I still think the shifting isn't perfect, but the service dept insists it is. Now, after the 2nd time they changed the transmission I'm noticing a very foul odor coming out of the vents. They're going to change the blower motor next week, but I find it strange that I'm having a number of problems with this car.
Re: the Canadian only forum--you were kidding, right? I mean--seriously--the Camry's are all constructed the same way. No???

Thank you so much for posting your message! I thought I was crazy, but I also notice a "thunk" noise when I start my car in the morning and put it in reverse. It sounds like something is banging in the trunk, yet there's nothing in there! I'm bringing my car in for service next week, and I'm definitely mentioning this!

The thunk noise is probabally the fuel tank. You probabally notice it more when the tamk is full. I have the same problem. Just another issue Toyota isn't going public with.
 I also have poor shifting with my 2007 v-6 I'm getting ready to take it in again and hope Toyota has a fix. I too can use any info on TSB.
 
   Keep complaining and call the 1800 #

Rumbling noise related to transmission jerking? by notmybmw
Oct 16, 2008 (4:41 pm)

Has anyone who didn't hear about the ECM Calibration to enhance shifting performance and smoothness till long after their symptoms appeared had subsequent problems with transaxles?
I have this "rumbling sound" coming from somewhere "below"....and I don't know what it might be. Sounds kinda like an old fashioned "U-joint".
Just wondering if the two years of drive-by-wire herky jerky transmission banging/shifting/unshifting etc has finally taken a toll on my driveshafts (transaxles) and destroyed a bearing or two.
Thoughts? Thanks.
Mike

Heck no, sewcoolsue......US and Canadian cars are VERY different in many ways, starting with things as basic as speedometers that read in kilometers up here....and miles down there.
BTW, are you in Canada or the US?
Also BTW, you say you have an LE Camry with a 6 speed AT. You mean 5 speed, don't you? I don't think Camry had a 6 spd tranny in 07, at least not on a 4cyl. (is there even a 6cyl LE? I don't think so.)
Anyway, yeah......where are all those Canadian who HAVE had ANY TSBs performed for transmission smoothnes? Is everyone sick of hearing about this?
 
I'd REALLY like to have a copy of either or both of ANY Canadian transmission TSB and the much talked about 068-08 TSB (which my dealer says is American-only)
 
Anyone?????
Thanks, Mike

The TSB has been posted prior in one of these forums, I've printed it out and taken it to my dealership. Don't remember whether in the Camry problems forum, or possibly Camry transmission forum.
 
I have a softcopy on it and all the other TSB's on my server, which unfortunately is down with a motherboard problem and I haven't had time to fix it for a couple of days. If you search and look long enough in the Camry forum's, you'll find it.
 
For the automatic's,.....the V6 has the 6 speed transmission, the I4 has the 5 speed transmission.
 
Shifting from Miles to Meters on the speedo is a software config setting
 
Vehicle runs great after the TSB.
