#4638 of 4931 Re: Remoter start for '09 Camry XLE with Smart Key Entry System? [cmor1701d] by dmathews3 Oct 25, 2008 (1:58 pm)
Replying to: cmor1701d (Oct 25, 2008 8:20 am) I have had a number of new vehicles in the past few years with after market remote starters from the $99 specials to the $400 high end with alarm and none of them, I repeat none of them have even come close to the quality and relieability of the factory ones. I have no idea how the Toyota remotes work but I'm betting even if just average they will still be better than the aftermarket stuff out there. Spend all that money on a new vehicle so don't go cheap now.

Replying to: amy22 (Jun 25, 2008 3:30 pm) Hi, I think I have the same problem the actuator noise sounds every time when I start to drive the car after 10 feet, all the people sitting in the car can hear the noise. I went to dealer and they told me "the sound only happened to Camry!" But why other type car does not sound that way? I just wondering why Toyota does not do anything try to fix it. That is really bad impression to Toyota's name!!! Who can tell me how they can fix the actuator noise?   Thank you!

Replying to: pingsterl (Oct 30, 2008 11:11 pm) If you are talking about the ABS test, all my cars with ABS do this after starting the engine and moving the car about 20-50 ft. Then, you never hear it again. My '07 CE does it, so does my old Corolla.

Replying to: pingsterl (Oct 30, 2008 11:11 pm) When I first took my camry to the service for this noise, they did not even know ABS actuator could make noise. They drove the car back and forth, stopped and started it. They could not figure it out and checked it on another Camry. When they heard that the other camry was doing the same noise, then they said it was normal.   Does your Camry burn oil? Mine does.

Replying to: vizyo (Oct 31, 2008 5:02 pm) Good Morning vizyo:        My 2007 XLE V6 Camry does not burn any oil! I have about 37,000 miles on it, and I change the oil and filter every 2,500 miles. (My choice)! ------ I also use BG / MOA oil additive. The dealer recommends this at major service intervals. (I use it at every oil and filter change.) --------- Remember, in the past, Toyota Engines were "sludge" producers! ----- Go to the dealer for all your oil and filter services, and KEEP ALL YOU SERVICE RECEIPTS! ---- When the $#& hits the fan, you will be in the driver's seat! -------- Consider putting an extended warrnty on this vehicle. (My vehicle is covered for 6 years / 100,000 miles by a Toyota Extended Warranty.)       Best regards. --------------- Dwayne

Replying to: vizyo (Oct 31, 2008 5:02 pm) The ABS actuator makes a noise during its self-test once the car gets up to about 3 mph or so after first being started. This is mentioned in the owner's manual and is common to most cars with ABS. (My 1990 Mercury Sable, one of the earlier cars with optional ABS, made this noise.)   Regarding oil "burning," how much are you losing? Most cars use a little oil in my 30+ years of experience owning cars. Only my most recent cars (3 Camrys and a Nissan Frontier) don't seem to use any.   You don't need any oil additives -- those are dealer moneymakers and are not recommended by Toyota itself. Again, check your owner's manual.
#4644 of 4931 Chasis Winter Protection by mncamry Nov 05, 2008 (8:43 am)
I bought my 2007 Camry LE in Maryland and have recently moved to Minnesota. I was told by the Toyoya dealer in Marlyland that car comes standard with under body(chasis) protection against salt/sand spray for winter driving conditions.   Does anyone konw if this is true or if I was hosed by the dealer? Do any Camry owners living in states like MN get after-market chasis protection?   Thanks Replies to this message: 210delray (Nov 05, 2008 9:35 am) dmathews3 (Nov 05, 2008 11:11 am) notmybmw (Nov 07, 2008 6:45 pm) dmathews3 (Nov 08, 2008 7:38 am) 210delray (Nov 08, 2008 4:44 pm) and 2 more... mncamry (Nov 10, 2008 6:43 am)

Replying to: mncamry (Nov 05, 2008 8:43 am) All cars today have good rust protection from the factory. Just wash your car often in the winter if it gets salted up (at car washes obviously if it's below freezing outside) and be sure to generously hose off the underbody come spring (some car washes include this).
#4646 of 4931 Re: Chasis Winter Protection [mncamry] by dmathews3 Nov 05, 2008 (11:11 am)
Replying to: mncamry (Nov 05, 2008 8:43 am) Most all cars/trucks built today have galvanized sheet metal on everything but the roof where it isn't needed. I doubt if Toyota is any different. Some manufacturers like GM give their vehicles a 5 year 100K rust waranty from the factory and they last much longer. Some manufacturers also frown on aftermarket rust proofing and will no longer warranty the vehicle for rust protection if you add it. Best thing is to wash it often during the winter and at least here in Mi. every car wash I have been in does an underbody blast to clear the snow and salt away from the unterside. Granted I don't keep my vehicles any longer than 3 years but even with the Mi. winters mine still look as good as new when I get rid of them.
#4647 of 4931 Re: Noise when turning wheels at zero or very low speed [silverbullet10] by silverbullet10 Nov 05, 2008 (8:30 pm)
Replying to: silverbullet10 (Oct 14, 2008 8:49 pm) After leaving the car for 1 day with the dealer trying to troubleshoot the ps pump noise, the service advisor said that the noise is normal and they think it's comparable to the other camry rental units. When I get back the car, I'm pretty confident the noise is still there. The funny thing is the noise is louder at parking speed after i've driven the car for a couple of minutes, not during cold engine. Anybody has the same noise coming from their power steering? My car's mileage is less than 27k (2007 camry LE 4 cyl, auto) At the same time they're trying to troublshoot the ps, they install the new TSB0068-08, and finally the transmission works like it's supposed to (holdin low gear when entering the highway ramp,, and no downshift at 70mph with cruise control).. Wish toyota programmed the transmission this way when i bought the car 2 years ago!
