#4808 of 4944 Re: 2007 transmission problems [notmybmw] by vizyo May 31, 2009 (4:20 pm)
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)

Replying to: vizyo (May 31, 2009 4:20 pm) I can't say if any of the problems you describe, are encountering, have anything to do with it but as of the 2010 MY it is quite clear that Toyota and Lexus are still searching for a satisfactory solution, satisfactory to the CUSTOMER. There is now yet another new "fix" for the problem, design flaw, they embedded in all of their transaxles with a new more highly FE design starting with the '99 RX.   If you have DBW the transaxle is less likely to fail prematurely but will not be user friendly exactly.

Replying to: vizyo (May 31, 2009 4:20 pm) There is another TSB for the vibration - TSB 0069-08. The service dept. at your dealer is terrible - try going to different one.

Replying to: vizyo (May 31, 2009 4:20 pm) I had the same low speed (especially slowing to a stop on hills) transmission issue which hesitated and jerked into a lower gear in my 07 Camry XLE (6-cyl w/6-spd). There was a service bulletin for this issue and they said they fixed, but haven't tried it on the hill where it seems to happen. There is 24K miles on my car and bought it new. I have one of the first new Camry's w/6-spd trans and had to have the transmission and torque converter replaced at 2000 miles. TMC USA were very good to work with and in the end had them repair and they gave me 7-year bumper-to-bumper Platinum warranty. This extended warranty makes me feel better as I've had the car in the shop a few times for several things, like a bad switch in the sun roof (stuck open the first time I used it) and some other minor things.   Another oddity is that I had a creaking sound deep in the dash on the passenger side. They took out the entire dash and found a bad weld, so they fixed the weld and put it back together. No more noise so far, but just picked it up today and just drove home.   It's a really nice, fast and comfortable car, but guess I have long-term concerns about quality and reliability, which are the reasons I bought a Toyota in the first place. My 1998 Ford F150 truck has been absolutely flawless with 98K miles, so seems like American car quality has surpassed Japanese or at least Toyota? Maybe this will be the last repair to my 07 Camry? We'll see...

Replying to: silverbullet10 (Sep 21, 2008 1:25 am) Hello silverbullet10,   I have the exact problem as you mentioned. I am at 35k and still under warranty. I noticed the noise from the steering when I was getting out of my garage at about 25k or before that. I have mentioned it to the Toyota service guys during the last 3 oil changes and they did not find anything. Any ideas suggestions for me. Was your problem fixed ? Please let me know when you get a chance. Replies to this message: silverbullet10 (Jun 27, 2009 9:11 am)
#4813 of 4944 2007 camry jerking by keysan Jun 17, 2009 (7:17 am)
Thanks so much for the information. I felt hopeless with my Camry jerking. I'm a back patient and I just hated it. I'm so happy to know that there is something that can be done with it. my car went to the shop today. It's still under 3 year warranty, so maybe I've caught this in time. Also, my seatbelt off light came on Sunday and stayed on. Then, when I drove it to the shop, it was off??? I have hope that all these problems will be taken care of now. Mostly, the jerking of the car when you step on the gas. Thanks so much.

#4814 of 4944 Why does my 2007 camary still smell by 07camaryguy Jun 15, 2009 (2:15 pm)
The car has smelt musty from the day we purchased it. 2007 camary GLE. It all came to a head about a month ago when the passenger side of the car was saturated with water after. The Dealer tried to side step but once I brought Toyota Corp on board they changed their tune. They had my car for over 30 days replaced the carpet and sent it out to a secondary place to recondition the interior. Cut to the chase still smells. Now the smell isof a chemical nature which sits in the back of your throat and gives you a headche if you drive with the windows closed. If anyone has shared a similar problem any feedback will help. Also I'm concerned now that this may become so sort of health problem. I will be speaking to Toyota corp. Tomorrow, any advice?

Replying to: 07camaryguy (Jun 15, 2009 2:15 pm) They need to find where the water is leaking into the vehicle.   Moon roof, moon roof drains, window/door seals, drain holes in the bottom of the doors clogged, drain holes in the area below the front windshield clogged, leaking heater core, trunk seal defective, etc, etc.
