They do buybacks!!!!! Did it years ago with GM after 26k miles, no lawyers, they never drove the car, sent the dealer a check, and bought another Intrigue, cost $600 to drive the car..Steering and brake issues, car ran like a dream..Do not take the Arbitration route, waste of time..
Played golf with some employees of the Southeastern Toyota Distributor back in the early 2000s, and they had many buybacks at their location..In retrospect, this was during the time frame when they built outstanding cars, so we were told.
Never owned any Asian car, and the only Toyota I would buy is the V-6 SE, for the std Toyota suspension is sloppy and gets really loosey/goosey with age..My acquaintance has a 2002 XLE w/4 banger only 77k miles and ,in excellent condition, but the struts are shot, however a/c is solid, no smell, driving position is horrible, gas mileage okay, and it gets an oil change every 5k..150hp engine moving a 3400# car is no ball-of-fire, but it goes from point A to B..Good car for a senior citizen..
Toyota has cheapen their cars dating back to last model redesign which was either 2006 or 2007..They have lost the quality edge to Honda and some other Korean upstarts..
Detroit cars have issues also, and after owning 41 Big 3 creations plus 2 German they have given lots of pleasure with some dispair at times..
Enjoy your cars for under the current Washington quidelines our love affair with the car will end with misery on wheels, and maybe you will think the next time you cast your ballot...

I managed to convince my dealer to change the power-steering pump under warranty last Oct, but the noise is still there till today. Before that, we test drove both 4- and 6-cyl new lot and none of them show the noise. I decide not to pursue it further. Strangely enough, mine does not occur until the engine gets hotter, and it's most noticable when the a/c is on during the summer, but you heard it when the engine is cold. I sugggest you talk to the service advisor, and both of you test drive your car vs. the new car on the lot to convince him look further into the problem. Gd luck and let us know what you find

Mine does the exactly the same thing! It truly drives me crazy because I have taken it to two dealerships, and furthermore have taken it to Tire Kingdom here in my town who I have found to be very excellent at finding problems. Nothing....no one can find out what makes my 07 Camry shimmy at 70 and beyond. I am considering trading this car in. This is my 4th Camry.....all others have been wonderful. My 03 Camry XLE (also a 4 cylinder) drives way better than the 07.
I am truly disgusted with only 23000 miles on this 07 which is loaded to the gill with the liquicell leather and other nice features.....I don't want to keep it.

Interesting problem you're having. My '07 vibrates at 70, 75, but then around 80 (bad me!) it stops. I just thought it was something weird with my car, but now that I've heard your story I'm going back to my dealer so they can look at my car again. (P.S. I've had my transmission replaced twice already because of various problems. Have you had any issues with yours??)

I have too many issues with my 2007 Camry LE 4cycl as well. I have the same vibration problems at ~70km/hr but it does not consistently repeat. I am trying to find the combination of driving style, speed and etc. to duplicate it so that I can show it to the technician in the service. My other problem is that the transmission jerks when I do stop and go. When the engine is cold I do not have this problem; however it happens very badly after about half an hour driving and the engine get hot. it shifts to higher gear at 10km/h, which is very low speed for higher gear for a big mass of a car. I used to be a big fan of Toyota after owning 3 other Toyotas without any major problem for years. I had too many other problems with this car; I also hate being given "it is normal and it is how the car operates" speech every time I took the car the service for obvious problems.

Can you describe what you mean by 'jerking' at stop and go? I have a 2007 Camry and it does nothing that I could even remotely consider 'jerking'.
Is the engine vibrating, or hesitating? Are you stopped at a stop sign and beginning to accelerate? What gear is the transmission in, and how fast are you going when this occurs? Etc, Etc, Etc.

Hello Kiawah. Thanks for your response. When the engine is cold, the tranmission runs smoothly; however after half an hour driving when I do "stop & go" at the intersections (stop signs), the tranmission shifts the second gear when the speed is 5~7mph and a weird noise comes from the transmission and the car shakes. It is like moving a manual transmission car directly with the second shift after full stop. I have recently taken the car to the service for the tranmission hesitation and got the computer reprogrammed, but it did help for jerking problem. I was wondering if this is a common problem with 2007 Camry LE 4cycl and there is a TSB issued for it? I searched it but could not find anything.
