Replying to: plknj (Oct 05, 2007 3:34 pm) Hey plknj... Are you in Jersey? I bet they are overcharging you there. I have one service upcoming and shopping around for prices. It sure is making me wonder if I should have went with a service package! Replies to this message: plknj (Oct 06, 2007 6:57 am)

Replying to: jjyang (Oct 06, 2007 3:08 am) Yes I am in New Jersey and I am sure they are over charging me here... but got to NYC and see what they charge! The good news is is that I have a great dealer.

Replying to: ottom (Aug 02, 2006 10:24 am) DEAR OTTOM I HAVE BEEN SITTING AND READING ALL THE MESSAGES FROM SATISFIED HYBRID OWNERS AND YOU ARE THE FIRST ONE THAT'S COMPLAINING ABOUT LOW MILEAGE. JOIN MY CLUB. THE BEST AVERAGE I CAN GET IS 22.5 MPG CITY. I ALSO TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL DEALER AND THEY SMILED AND SAID "EVERYTHING IS WORKING PROPERLY" I EVEN WENT TO ANOTHER DEALER AND THEY SAID THE SAME THING. I HAVE CONTACTED THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF FLORIDA. THEY ARE SENDING ME A FORM TO FILL OUT ON THE LEMON LAW. I'M HOPING THAT WILL GET THE BALL ROLLING AND WAKE UP A FEW PEOPLE.

Replying to: jerryr3 (Nov 08, 2007 10:20 am) jerryr3,   What "ball" do you hope to get rolling? Your car more than likely has some sort of problem with the hybrid system.   Camry Hybrids as a group of cars do NOT have a problem. Replies to this message: jerryr3 (Nov 09, 2007 7:12 am)
#328 of 558 My TCH with 13k miles by quixotic1 Nov 09, 2007 (7:09 am)
I am very pleased with our THC. I have always gotten at least 36mpg and sometimes over 40. The 36 is going 80+ on the interstate. We averaged over 40 from NC to Vermont. I live in S. Florida where the car spends most of it's time.   One thing to look into is the oil your dealer is putting in. After my 5k service I noticed I was getting about 33mpg. I checked my service bill and realized the dealer had put in 5w30! I went back and made them replace the oil with 0W synthetic and things went back to normal. Also make sure your tires are inflated to 32 at cold.

Jerry,   1st make sure the oil, tire pressures and driving methods are correct. Also, are you using regular with ethanol? If so stop using that gas.   If your problem persists, get with the Toyota district manager for your area. Not the dealer. You should be able to call Toyota and get his name & #.   Make an appointment to meet him personally before talking about your issues.   If this does not resolve the problem you can file lemon law with your state. It is always better to go through the other steps 1st.   Good luck!   Rich
#331 of 558 STEEP HILL POWER by golfnut5 Nov 09, 2007 (6:28 pm)
I am thinking of purchasing a TCH and wondered how the TCH performs when climbing a steep hill. Does it feel as if it has enough power? Is there loud engine noise or does it sound harsh when climbing a steep hill/incline? Replies to this message: lzc (Nov 09, 2007 8:09 pm) plknj (Nov 13, 2007 1:56 pm)

Replying to: golfnut5 (Nov 09, 2007 6:28 pm) "Enough power"? I say yes, but others I suspect might disagree. It's power comes from a 4-cyl engine. They all make a little noise and sound a little labored with pushed, don't they? The TCH is no different. Toyota has done a great job of isolating engine noise from inside the car. Standing next to it outside, however, the engine sounds, well, like the small 4-banger that it is.   At normal speeds, and freeway cruising at any speed, the TCH is smooth and refined. And it has the added benefit that when floored both power sources kick in, supplying surprisingly quick acceleration when needed. If one keeps in the mind that the TCH was designed for economy first, it won't disappoint.
