Replying to: notmybmw (May 19, 2009 5:34 am) Hi:     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
#4801 of 4944 Low Idle RPM's Camry 07 by mazo3 May 21, 2009 (7:41 pm)
I have a Camry LE 2007 4 cylinder with 40K miles, sometimes it drops the idle RPM's to 500 while stopped in traffic (with A/C on) It seems to go back to normal RPM's when I turned the A/C off. I took it to the dealer and they replaced the Throttle Kit (whatever that is...) with no joy, they even scanned the cars computer for any codes but no codes were obtained, they couldn't get this one fixed. Also, I' ve tried different brands of hi octane gas. Same result, low RPM's (about 500 instead of a normal 750) at idle and lots of engine vibration. What could be the problem? Help please!!!

Replying to: mazo3 (May 21, 2009 7:41 pm) Did you have anyone check the a/c system? Could be a problem with the a/c compressor, putting too much of a load on the engine.

Replying to: mazo3 (May 21, 2009 7:41 pm) Hi there, buddy. Forget the hi octane.......save your money. The four cylinder engine is sensitive to the load that the A/C adds to its performance, at both higher speeds AND at idle. Assuming you are never idling more that the duration of a stoplight (if you ARE idling longer than that...shame on you, you should be shutting off your engine instead of idling).....just enjoy the fact that a) you are cool, with your a/c on......and b) you are idling even lower RPM's than usual, therefore saving gas. If you are concerned about performance "off the line" after sitting there idling, just do what I do, which is momentarily turn off the air until you get back up to regular/highway speed. (Performance with a/c OFF is bad enough without making the poor engine attempt "launch" and "cool" simultaneously! Cheers.......there's nothing wrong with your car! (Hope your dealer didn't charge you anything for the work HE did; if he did, he's either ignorant, or a crook.) Michael

Replying to: mazo3 (May 21, 2009 7:41 pm) Good Morning:      Put the gear shift selector in "neutral" while waiting in traffic. This will take the "load" off the engine!     Best regards. -------------------- Dwayne

Replying to: mazo3 (May 21, 2009 7:41 pm) The older 4 cylinder Camrys used to have an additional idle speed control valve; which only controlled the idle speed while the air conditioning was turned on. It was located near the top of the valve cover, on the passenger side of the engine. I don't know whether this valve is still used on your model; but if it is; it sounds like it needs to be readjusted.
#4806 of 4944 Re: Toyota Camry VSC Problems [jocool] by momafrow May 25, 2009 (4:21 pm)
Replying to: jocool (Jan 15, 2009 8:44 pm) MY VSC light just came on for no reason whatsoever. My husband was backing out of a driveway and the car was half on drive half on wet grass from a light rain (even level wheels though) and there was a loud noise and wham the VSC light was on and the brake will barely go down at all. Headed to the dealer at 7 am to see if they can reset it. Hoping I don't get screwed but I know nothing about it and there is limited info to help me. I am at 39000 and 2.5 years owned so I don't know if anything will be covered under warranty or not!!! I hope I make it to the dealer. Replies to this message: mcdawgg (May 25, 2009 5:02 pm)

Replying to: momafrow (May 25, 2009 4:21 pm) Call Toyota and tell them your situation. Be very nice, but tell them that you love Toyotas, etc. but are a little disappointed that this happened just out of warranty. Chances are, they'll cover it. I had a Rav4 that was just past the warranty on a seat belt buckle that stuck down (seat belts are 5 years, 60k miles) and they covered it!!

Replying to: notmybmw (May 19, 2009 5:34 am) I have recently taken my 2007 Camry LE 4 cyl. to service for the transmission hesitation and jerking at low speeds. Their technician did a test drive and said it was how the car operates and it was completely normal. I insisted and then they checked all issued TSBs in their system. I gave them TSB# I found in this forum but they did not even look at it. They found an upgrade for ECU, which is from 333A5000 to 333A5100. I do not know if this is what TSB 0068-08 does. They did the upgrade. The car now seems to be responding better; however I have started feeling some vibrations around 40~45mph speed. I first thought that it was coming from the road. Then I noticed that it was consistently doing it at the same speed. I think it is the transmission again. Does anyone experience such a problem? On the other hand, the upgrade has not fixed the jerk problem. The transmission still badly jerks when I do stop and go and when the speed reaches to 7~8mph. This is where it goes to the higher gear quickly and the car does not take it and jerks. It does not occur much when the engine is cold. I took the car back to the service and told them about all the problems. They said there is no any other upgrade for the transmission and the way it works is normal. Please advise if there is any other TSB issued for the transmission problems. Replies to this message: wwest (May 31, 2009 5:06 pm) mcdawgg (May 31, 2009 8:03 pm) chacha426 (Jun 08, 2009 8:21 pm)
