Replying to: okal (May 05, 2009 12:35 pm) The profits on the car (probably around 5% or less) go back to Japan. The vast majority of the cost of the Camry stays in the USA. Now back to the Camry.... |

Replying to: patty19 (Apr 13, 2009 10:05 am) Based on what I have been reading about a possible oil line problem, I made an appointment with my dealer to have the oil line replaced with the "up-dated unit," as a precaution! ----- The cost of the service was $290.00 dollars. -------- My extended Toyota warranty picked up the total cost! ------- Since I do an extensive amount of highway driving as a sales person, I did not want to be worried about an issue on a long trip! Best regards! ----- Dwayne

I changed the oil myself as I have done many times before on my 2007 six cylinder Camry SE. After the oil change I went to reset the engine maintenance light but this time I couldn't do it. For some reason, even with the engine off and the key out of the ignition, the odometer stays on (lit but somewhat dimmed). I believe the procedure you do to reset the indicator light will not work unless the odometer is off when you first turn the key to on and hold the odometer knob in for 5 seconds. Has anyone experienced this and can provide a solution?

Hi, My 2007 camry is shifting badly when I start out from a stop is this a issue that many others are encountering? |

Replying to: cgeddie (May 18, 2009 8:20 am) What exactly is it doing? Rough shifting? Shifting at wrong shift points, going into the wrong gears? Have you checked the transmission fluid levels, and/or changed the fluid? |

Replying to: cgeddie (May 18, 2009 8:20 am) Do some extensive reading of this forum and you'll find all kinds of references to a TSB (Technical Service Bulletin) issued by Toyota to its dealerships advising that owners of 2007 Camry, 4 cylinder automatics, are entitled to a free upgrade to the software that regulates their ECM (Engine Control Module.) This 'modification' was developed to cure exactly the problems you're experiencing: dodgy shifting...hesitation at intersections...strange 'automatic' gear-changing under a variety of load conditions (like going uphill, etc). And it's probably worth doing, given that the hesitation problem alone can be deadly dangerous if/when it occurs in the face of oncoming traffic in a "turning situation". Be warned, however, that after this TSB is performed on your car, you will probably notice at least one other shortcoming...notably, the engine will shift into overdrive far earlier than it should, resulting in a low-frequency, "grumbling" sound, as though the engine were being "lugged" (which it IS) at low road speeds. (We assume Toyota has done this to achieve better mileage figures!) This one problem CAN be overcome by manually shifting into 4th (by moving the stick to the left) when driving at low, in-town speeds. This is a bit of a nuisance, however....both because of having to put it INTO fourth AND remembering to move it over to FIFTH once you're moving at highway speed. As I said.....do some creative searching in this forum, and you'll find lots of info on this whole subject. Good luck! Michael |

Replying to: notmybmw (May 19, 2009 5:34 am) Actually the last TSB that was issued (seems like a year+ ago) fixes that 35-45mph overdrive grumbling/engine lugging. It keeps it in 4th longer. Vehicle runs great. |

Replying to: notmybmw (May 19, 2009 5:34 am) I must be the only 2007 V6 Camry XLE owner that does not have any of the transmision issues that you are reading about on these boards! My vehicle has almost 48,000 miles, and it will be three years old January 2010. By January, it will have about 60,000 miles. On the highway I get at least 30mpg! I am very satisfied with the quality of this vehicle, and I have a great dealer! Best regards. ---- Dwayne
