Replying to: vizyo (Jun 30, 2009 3:18 pm) 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. |

Replying to: vizyo (Jul 01, 2009 3:08 pm) There is a TSB for 2007 camry's, which reprograms the engine and transmission. The problem is what appears to be what I'd call 'lugging', at about 35-45 mph. The transmission gets into too high of a gear too soon. A simple reprogram of computer fixes it, I had it done with what seems like 18 months ago and it's been fine ever since. I've never heard of a 5-7 mph problem. When you experience this problem, why don't you try shifting using the gearshifter and run the gears out higher, to see if that is anyway related. Can't imagine what the weird noise you are hearing from the transmission, did it make the weird noise while at the dealership for reprogramming? |

fyi to all Complaint. Power Cerritos CA Location. Please forward this email to the appropriate department. . I've always loved my Toyota Vehicles-Sienna, Pre-runner and Camry. I brought in my vehicle a 2007 V6 Camry SE for engine vibration, engine loss of power-symptoms of misfire. When you are at a complete stop It feels like the engine is going to shut down as the car body and engine shakes. Note that this only symptom only occurs when I'm on the freeway at the speeds of 65mph and over. This incident occurred once before upon arriving on a trip to Las Vegas. I took it straight to the Toyota Dealership for help. I paid $168 to a diagnostic check and the Technician told me that it was caused by dirty fuel and that the vehicle was running O.K. now. The Tech. also mentioned that the dirty fuel probably burned off as I exited the freeway because there was no longer any hesitation or engine vibration on the vehicle. The same problem occurred this week on Monday 7/06/09 at about 230pm. I brought in my to Power Toyota of Cerritos immediately exiting the freeway. I explained the problem and history of my vehicle to the service Tech. The next day I received a phone call advising me that an alignment and wheel balancing was needed and it would cost me over $300. I was very disappointed with this diagnosis because obviously my wheels and tires does not have anything to do with the problems I've been having with the engine. I tried to explain in detail with the tech. that I cannot relate tire and wheel alignment problems with my engine nearly stalling on the road. And worst of all, the Technician sort of just gave me a brush off the shoulder saying "It's up to you and your decision all I can give you is an advice" I told him that I would call him back after I do some research online. This sounds like a recall issue because I've never owned a bad Toyota vehicle. Sure enough I Googled the key word "2007 Toyota Camry Problems and Repairs" and found so much posting of owners with the same related problems. The site/link below is just one of the many sources I have. http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com/direct/view/.f0c6927!keywords=allin%3Amsgtext%2- 0limit%3A.f0c6927%20engine%20vibration&count=20 A service manager calls and leaves me a voice mail giving me the same recommendation-alignment and balancing. I return his call and leave him a voice mail asking him "how is a wheel alignment and balancing going to fix my engine problems?" The service tech. calls me back a few hours later saying that they are going to further look into this dianostic check on the engine. This is a Joke or what? 1st Toyota at Las Vegas tells me it's due to dirty fuel and now Toyota of Cerritos is telling me that it's the wheels and tires causing this issue? I'm beginning to loose faith with Toyota's Tech's. |
