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. |

My 2007 camry v6 (65000mi) just coated a road in Westchester with 6 qts of very expensive 5w30 oil. I have read numerous posts about the defective oil hose on the v6's but have not seen anyone who has taken Toyota to court on what must be considered a recall situation and not a tsb! My toyota service manager suspiciously agreed to quickly tow my car to the dealer after the above incident. They are setting me up for the "its out of warranty" chorus; I am told that the warranty is 5yrs or 60,000 mi. I only missed by 5k. I fully intend to take the dealership to small claims court if the cost is not reimbursed. Please let me know what other actions you have taken to get reimbursement. Thanks.

Replying to: dmathews3 (Jul 09, 2009 5:01 am) Seems to me if they say a particular thing is warranted for 36 months, and it's now 40 months, that the delivered what they were legally required to do. Regardless of the fact that we all think the part should never fail, last forever, and nothing ever need fixing........aren't they really legally only responsible for the warranty period? I'm not for or against Toyota or any manufacturer, just trying to understand how legally they could/should be accountable for something outside of the scope of the warranty, where they sold the product with a written warranty, and the consumer accepted the product and the terms of that warranty. It baffles me to think that I would have some right or implied warranty beyond that. Manufacturer good will would be nice, but legally obligated I didn't think so.
