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.

Hi, kiawah....thanks for your input, but....
a) I've looked at hundreds of pages on this website and am not finding a downloadable copy of 068-08, nor any Canada TSBs. Would love some help with this.
b) re: transmissions, the fellow I was answering said his LE had a 6speed AT, which we both know is not possible. The LE is a 4cyl config.
c) speedometers: miles to kilometers is not a software setting, it's a physically different face on the speedo. Ours (Canadian) have LARGE kilometre readings on the outer rim of the dial and smaller mileage numbers on the inner circle. Yours (US version) would have the reverse, or, more likely just mileage numbers (since Americans are allergic to the metric system.......LOL!!!) Plus, there are lots of other differences with regard to exhaust system fire guards, emissions controls etc. (This is why Toyota Canada had no TSB's on the 07 Camry till well after the yanks.)
Regards,
Scotty

I'm right there with you, captain2.
I've just recently "discovered" that there is a fix for my longterm (June '06 purchase date) hesitation/shifting problems on my 07 Camry.
I've looked around a lot, but am still having problems finding Canadian equivalents of the many U.S. TSBs I see referenced on the site.
My dealer steadfastly refused to believe/admit there was a problem until I took them the 0068-08.......which they correctly identified as an American document, but which prodded them to look for the Canadian version, which they of course found. (even though they won't show it to me....even though they've "done it" to my car!) Strange, yes?
Now, as a gesture of contrition on their part, I want them to perform any and all other 2007 Camry 4cyl 5AT TSBs on a complimentary basis......but they obviously can't be counted on to "dig out" these TSBs of their own volition. I'D like to present them to THEM...but I gotta find them first.
Any suggestions for source? (other than another Can. Toyota dealer?)
Thanks.........to anyone......if you have a list or a source.
Cheers,
Scotty
p.a. is this thread "dead" for some reason? I haven't seen a new posting for three days.............??
