Replying to: imidazol97 (Mar 18, 2009 4:35 pm) Sadly, an aftermarket pollen filter could contribute to this problem. The factory filter will most likely be embedded with an anti-microbial chemical that aids in suppressing the growth of the microbes whose "leavings" result in the dirty gym socks odor. Since some of these chemicals can also be detrimental to human life the aftermarket filter manufacturers are not likely to use them.

Replying to: wwest (Mar 18, 2009 4:41 pm) The white powder is all over corrct and if you wipe it off it comes back I assume. The car has a evap with a faulty coating. If cabin air filters were causing this problem it would affect a much broder range of vechiles. I guess you have to see the amount of powder to understand. Mabey you could post some pictures.

Replying to: cctx (Mar 18, 2009 3:33 pm) Pasted this in from my post #656 in Toyota Camry 2007:    You can defeat this design, however. If you push the recirculate button AND hold it in for 5 seconds, it will stay on recirculate until you push it again or you switch the airflow knob into or out of one of the two defrost positions or, once you turn off the car.

Replying to: 650spx (Mar 18, 2009 5:50 pm) Two separate problems/issues.   NipponDenso covers their evaporator cooling vanes/surfaces with a thin coat of porus nylon. The pores are then filled with an anti-microbial chemical. Over time and use the chemical will be fully leached from the nylon pores and the OEM pollen filter then becomes the only sources of the chemical.   Over an extended period the nylon coating itself begins to break down and flake off of the roughly 10,000 square inches of evaporator vane surface area.   Lexus/Toyota/NipponDenso first begin the practice of using the anti-microbial chemical embedded in the porus nylon back in about mid-91 but neglected to file an MSDS form with the FDA(?). They then had to discontinue the practice until later when a more beniegn chemical could be found and qualified via US regulations. Replies to this message: 650spx (Mar 23, 2009 5:19 pm)
#4751 of 4932 Just a little problem with the rotors. by hvtec2002 Mar 19, 2009 (9:34 am)
I just bought my 09 Camry SE i4 last month and right out the door i noticed the brakes were shaking at 30-55 mph. I brought it back to the dealer after putting 300 miles on it and they turned all 4 rotors for me with out test driving the car and the brakes are smooth and no shaking at all. i think this is a very common problem on this car or i would not be if the parts are "made in china".

Replying to: hvtec2002 (Mar 19, 2009 9:34 am) Made in China? I doubt it. My '07 has 75% North American parts, and assembled in USA. Most of the remaining 25% parts are from Japan. Problems with the rotors being warped are not a common problem on '07-current Camrys, at least on several websites that I watch. The only complaint I read about the brakes with some frequency is that the rear pads wear out quicker than the front. However, the same complaint is on the Honda Accord forums, so it must be something with how these cars' brakes are balanced, and not a problem with just the Camry.   This could be the result of a few bad parts (suppliers do make errors), or maybe the result of someone abusing it on a test drive. Your owner's manual says to avoid hard braking for the first 200 miles.   Glad to hear your dealer took care of the problem and I hope everything else is well.
