I still don't like the way it down shifts, but overall it's much better. Also, the service dept's initial fix was to change a part in the computer; that didn't work so they swapped out the transmission. All I can say is good luck, and ask them why they're not doing it at no charge to you.

Replying to: sewcoolsue (Aug 01, 2009 1:10 pm) I am not really sure what to do next....I really want to get rid of the car, but who in a right state of mind would buy it with a check engine light on... I guess, I could try calling corporate toyota again and try getting some warranty extension out of them, but they told me that it's the local dealership manager that would make a final decision on whether to pay for my problems or let me pay for them...I have already heard their answer to that one... Any sujjestions on who else I would call??? any other ideas? Thanks for your help, Mac |

Replying to: mac666 (Jul 31, 2009 6:18 am) Go to the Service Manager...or sales manager, if you bought your car there....and tell them you want to see copies of all the TSB's (Technical Service Bulletins) that apply to your model of Camry. (There are a couple that I had problems with relating to the ECM and automatic transmission, but I thought these were specific to the 4 cylinder model.......but you may have your own versions to deal with.) Don't take the risk yourself that the "fix" may or may not work; that IS the dealer's responsibility. If HE's not willing to take the chance, tell him you'd like the local Manufacturer's rep to accept it. Good luck. |

Replying to: ledzepplin (Jul 08, 2009 6:40 pm) Here are some of the scientific facts why your exterior oil line and oil line are failing. (1) When oil contacts rubber, the oil chemical composition will eat-away at the rubber or it will destroyed the rubber. (2) The rubber seals in automobile engine and also the rubber booth that covers the automobile front axle joint will be in contact constantly with oil and grease. Automobile companies will have to make these RUBBER HOSE, SEALS AND RUBBER BOOTH WITH SPECIAL MATERIALS. Honda, Toyota and some of these foreign car companies MANUFACTURE POOR QUALITY RUBBER HOSE, RUBBER SEALS AND RUBBER BOOTH FOR THEIR AUTOMOBILES, for example Toyota, Honda and BMW, I had known people that had own these automobiles and they had to replace their front axle because the front axle rubber booth had been RIPPED OR RIPPED OFF completely. The mileage on these cars were between 35000 miles to 65000. miles. General Motors have this rubber hose, seals and rubber booth technology. A 1989 Cadillac Sedan Deville twenty years old front wheel drive. The rubber booth on the front axle of this car looks like it is BRAND NEW with out any sign of aging and also the plug wires which looks BRAND NEW and was never replace. General Motors have this rubber technology. TOYOTA HIGHLANDER OIL SLUDGE PROBLEM AND VALVE STEM SEAL PROBLEM. Toyota Highlander were blowing their engine. One guy SAID that he drove for four hour and with-in that four hours he had to pour in three quarts of oil into his DEFECTIVE TOYOTA HIGHLANDER ENGINE. He had only caught this oil sludge problem by re checking his DEFECTIVE TOYOTA HIGHLANDER ENGINE OIL LEVEL AT A REST STATION ON THE HIGHWAY. SOME OF THESE DEFECTIVE TOYOTA HIGHLANDERS MODEL AND YEAR ARE ABOVE THE YEAR 2002. Toyota SAID that this guy Toyota Highlander will need A OVERSIZED HEAD WITH A OIL COOLING SYSTEM. THE OIL COOLING WILL BE USE TO REMOVED THE HEAT FROM THE ENGINE OIL. THE HOT OIL WHICH CREATE SLUDGE IN TOYOTA HIGHLANDERS HAD ALSO DAMAGE THE VALVE STEM SEALS. The price to repair this automobile will be in excess of $3000.00. TOYOTA SAID THAT THEY RESTRICTED THE AMOUNT OF ANTIFREEZE GOING INTO THE AUTOMOBILE ENGINE. THE ANTI FREEZE IS USED TO KEEP AN AUTOMOBILE ENGINE COOL. NOW THAT THE AUTOMOBILE CYLINDERS ARE OPERATING AT A HIGHER TEMPERATURE. THIS HIGHER CYLINDERS TEMPERATURE WILL INCREASE THE AUTOMOBILE GAS MILEAGE. HIGH TEMPERATURE IN AN AUTOMOBILE OIL CAN CREATE SLUDGE, DAMAGE ENGINE OIL SEALS, REDUCE THE THE OPERATING HOURS (OR LIFE) OF MANY OIL SEALS, EXTERIOR OIL LINE THAT CONTAINS RUBBER SEALS INSIDE OF THEIR CONNECTOR ENDS, RUBBER HOSE AND MANY OTHER ENGINE COMPONENTS. It is very clear that people who have these defective Toyota Automobile should get rid or sell these defective Toyota Automobile. Do not keep these defective Toyota Automobile, it will cost you allot of money in repairs. Only keep them if Toyota is going to repair these defective automobile for free. How do I decide what make and type of Auto Mobile To buy. To buy the correct automobile for your commuting or getting to work. (1)You must decide how many miles to and from work that you will have to drive which also includes taking care of other business which includes driving. If you total driving miles per week is over 100 miles. You must buy the car with best warranty. The car that has the best warranty in America today is the General Motors Car. The car that has Best Reliability NOW in America Today is the General Motors Car. General Motors backed their automobiles reliability with a 100000 Miles or Five Years which ever one comes first. General Motors said If you encounter any problem with-in the warranty time or period You can return this car to any General Motors Dealers No Question Asked. A General Motors Warranty Paper that was Posted on a car on 08/18/09 states that General Motors Will Pay 100% For The Parts and The Dealer Will Pay 100% For The Labor. They will even give you a car to use if you had purchase your automobile brand new wild they are working on your car. Use General Motors Automobile have the same 100000 miles Warranty. If you encounter any problem with your automobile you can return it to any General Motors Dealers No Question Asked. If you are the first owner of your automobile and you are selling that automobile to someone, you can also sell that person the General Motors Manufacture Warranty That Comes With The Car. General Motors said that they make the Warranty Policy so that the Customers Are Protected in simple terms if you return you car to a General Motors Dealer. The Dealer cannot deny you or dictate to you any warranty policy. If your car has warranty the General Motors Dealer have to repair this car for free. Asked Yourself A question: When you buy Toyota even if you had warranty on the car or any other make car if you encounter a problem with these other manufactures WHO WILL HAVE TO PAY MONEY OUT FROM THEIR POCKETS TO REPAIR THEIR AUTOMOBILE? THE ANSWER IS YOU. When the other manufactures place parts in your car THAT DOES NOT CORRECT THE AUTOMOBILE PROBLEMS WHO WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR THE PARTS? THE ANSWER IS YOU.
