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.

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.

Location of front/rear suspension member bolts by wolfboro

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 .

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.

Yes, 210delray is correct. I have never done this.

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.

oh but my Honda or Toyota is ASSEMBLED IN THE U.S.A. by okal

So . . . the money you spent on that car goes to Japan ,some comes back here.
It is a Japanese company !
 
The Chrysler,Ford or GM car you buy ,especially if it is ASSEMBLED IN THE U.S.A. creates more jobs ( including NON-UNION jobs ) for AMERICANS then the Hondas,Toyotas or whatever built here.
Even the AMERICAN content on the BIG 3 autos when averaged out is MORE AMERICAN then the average on a transplant.
Yes afew transplants have a high American content but again it is just afew.
 
Not totting the BUY AMERICAN thing here just telling that these transplants are"a joke" in providing real American jobs.
They provide a "token few" American jobs.
 
And if you purchased a forgien car BUILT OVERSEAS well you did VERY LITTLE to help your fellow AMERICAN worker.
 
plain and simple.
