Replying to: mcdawgg (Apr 21, 2009 4:44 pm) My point about ramping up production is that this could have started last year, Given the TSB was issued in September, with the recommended replacement part identified, I suspect that Toyota was working on this for 2-3 months in advance. And, since we're at least 7 months after the TSB was issued, one would think that Toyota would have routine availability by now - even if it's produced by a sub-contractor. I also recognize that many recalls are driven by safety, but if Toyota were more customer-focussed, given what appears to be a problem that could impact many, they could probably score more points and reduce brand damage by being proactive. I've been in business for over 33 years, and I'm not impressed with Toyota regarding this matter. As for Consumer Reports, I'll be doing the Auto Survey shortly.......

Replying to: sully13 (Apr 21, 2009 4:29 pm) I had oil leak with my 2007 Camry L4 after an oil change. When I took it to the service they told me that the filter was not installed properly and it was leaking from there. They fixed it. After a few months, I noticed leak again on the ground. This time they said the leak was around the oil pan but they could not find where it was exactly leaking from. They cleaned the pan and dried it and advised me to check it regularly. If I see leak again I will take it to the service. Just wondering, when there is leak in the oil line, does the oil leak inside the engine? Does it come outside and drips on the ground? I would like to know this because, the warranty for my car will expire soon and if this is a serious problem I want it to be fixed under the warranty. Thank you.

Replying to: vizyo (Apr 22, 2009 3:05 pm) Vizyo: It appears that you may have a 4 cylinder Camry, and the problem I've had is, to my knowledge, a problem specific to recent V6 engines. The VVT oil line problem with the V6 engines causes leaks on the outside of the engine, which then leak down to the underside of the engine/vehicle. If you are having an issue with oil leaks, I suspect that the problem SHOULD be covered by the power train warranty (normally five years) rather than the basic three year warranty. However, these warranties have a mileage limit, so you'll need to refer to your owner documentation. Hope this helps.

Replying to: sully13 (Apr 22, 2009 9:03 am) Ehh, hindsight is 20/20. My opinion is that Toyota is as good as any automaker regarding problems, including Honda. Lots of people were very upset at Honda tranny failures and compressor failures, etc. and threatened lawsuits, etc. I can appreciate their frustrations, but I can also see the business side. I don't know of another automaker that has always done things the way people think they should. I'm not sure if Toyota knew that the oil line was a widespread or a very small problem. Sometimes, it is hard to tell at first. At least they have the correction and it's an easy fix, once the part is available.   I truly hope you get yours fixed soon, and I trust they gave you a car to use in the meantime? Any other issues with yours?   My '07 CE I4 manual has been great, other than having TSB0068-08 done (25 minute reprogramming of the ECU to resolve an intermittent hesitation). Other than that, perfect, just as I expect. I can forgive this one minor error, and I know it won't cause any more future issues, so I'd still rate it excellent.
#4782 of 4931 Location of front/rear suspension member bolts by wolfboro Apr 27, 2009 (6:57 pm)
Hi ,   I will be doing my wife's Toyota's 20K maintenance as per owner's manual (it is 2007 Camry with I-4 engine and auto-tranny ) . I am OK with most of the items except one . Manual suggests to tighten nuts&bolts on chassis , it says "front/rear suspension member retaining bolts to specified torque " .   Can anyone tell me where I should look for these bolts and torque values (if possible ) .   This site has been a good source of information . I thank all the contributors for their help . Replies to this message: 210delray (Apr 28, 2009 12:30 pm) mcdawgg (Apr 28, 2009 3:48 pm)

Replying to: wolfboro (Apr 27, 2009 6:57 pm) You don't have to worry about this item, as it's only for cars operated under "special operating conditions," in this case meaning frequent use on unpaved (and therefore bumpy) roads. Replies to this message: mcdawgg (Apr 28, 2009 3:48 pm)

Replying to: 210delray (Apr 28, 2009 12:30 pm) Yes, 210delray is correct. I have never done this.

Replying to: jmikesf (Aug 02, 2008 8:17 pm) I have the same problem with a 2007 camry. Did you resolve your problem? If so, please advise. thank you. Replies to this message: patty19 (May 05, 2009 5:25 am) mcdawgg (May 05, 2009 6:40 am)

Replying to: mikh (May 04, 2009 8:35 pm) Yes the problem has been fixed. It was the oil valve line that broke. It seems to be a common thing happening with the 2005-2007 Camry as well as the Avalons. Replies to this message: mcdawgg (May 05, 2009 6:40 am)
