Sedans Toyota Camry 2007 Toyota Camry Problems and Repairs

You are in the Toyota Camry Forum. Your Hosts are pat & karens
Only woes seem to be the transmission issue on the first 160 cars built. Given Toyota builds about 2,000 Camry's a day, that's a pretty small issue and yet it was beaten into the ground in the transmission issues section. Overall the 2007 Camry's appear to be another quality Toyota product. Maybe I'm somewhat jaded because I haven't had any problems with my 2007 XLE V-6, but we've owned Toyota products for years and years and wouldn't own any other brand.

I inferred that the woes section would include comments relative to problems, regardless of perception of size, that we felt we had. I did not think it would only refer to problems as severe as losing our dearest loved one. Our 2007 Camry on occasion seems to "stall" at low speeds because the transmission has not shifted down; that is, the transmission gear is too high and the rpms of the engine are too low for the speed the vehicle is traveling. It is similar to the feel in a vehicle with a straight-shift vehicle and you have the transmission engaged in a gear that is too high. With the Camry the "stall" feel is eliminated when the transmission lever is moved to cause the transmission to shift into position four. These are the facts as I know them.

Okay, I guess this is the correct thread to post this in. A couple of new ES350 owners have reported similar transmission issues. Since Camrys and Lexuses are built in different plants, that would indicate to me that the source of the problem is in the plant that manufactures the transmissions themselves. To my knowledge, the new transmissions are built by Aisin in Japan, in which case it may be difficult to pin down exactly what cars got the faulty transmission.

I have noticed my 2007 camry making a loud "Thunk" noise  in the mornings when I first start off or the car has sat for a little while. I took it in to my dealer and the only solution we could determine was the VSC engages at about 10-12 mph or 20 feet. The rest of the time it is not that loud. Has anyone else heard this noise? I have also noticed like pickles007 that when I take my foot off the gas quickly the car seems to skip a gear and drastically slow down  . I do not notice it every time, but I am hoping as the car gets more miles this will get better or I will again be talking with my service department. Otherwise I love this Car  Gertrude is a LOADED  V6 / XLE. I love driving her and cannot wait to go on a road trip this weekend to see how she does on the open road. |

Replying to: kiawah (May 11, 2006 8:29 am) Sounds like the same noise. When I fill out my customer survey I will list this noise as something I think they can improve upon. Muffle the "THUNK" from the VSC.

Replying to: jrock65 (May 10, 2006 7:25 am) Has this been verified? Have previous Toyota A/Ts been produced by Aisen? (I was under the impression that Toyota designed and built their A/Ts in house - and even supplied Volvo at one time.) |
