#100 of 109 Re: All 4 struts found leaking on 2009 Camry Hybrid at 36013 miles [ben_ca] by mcdawgg Oct 29, 2009 (8:22 am)
Replying to: ben_ca (Oct 28, 2009 10:59 pm) Great, just as I expected. Now ask yourself why your dealer didn't know that, or maybe they didn't want you to know that? I'd really be suspicious of ANYTHING your dealer tells you!! If you can, go to a different one.   My '07 struts are not leaking, but I will keep an eye on them.   You can send a thank-you check to me at....
#101 of 109 Re: 2007 Camry--Leaking Struts [busterbunny] by jdzw Nov 10, 2009 (8:14 pm)
Replying to: busterbunny (Sep 30, 2009 7:26 am) I have an '08 XLE with just under 54K miles and was just told I have a leaking rear strut - the dealer is going to charge me more than $500 to fix it!!! When I stated that it seemed early for the struts to be having a problem, I was met with complete indifference. Any luck with the New Motor Vehicle Board?   And before that, I reported problems with the transmission shifting - also to be told it was "typical" and thanks to this site, have discovered that there is a technical bulletin that I can walk in with and make them fix that problem at least.   Anyone have problems with their passenger seat belts not working properly? In response to this complaint, all they did was lube it...

Replying to: jdzw (Nov 10, 2009 8:14 pm) I have not heard anything from them yet. Last week I check, the person that's handling my case said they sent a letter to Toyota. Toyota might call me and talk to me. But I will keep you posted. If you want, you can email me directly allenlao75yahoo.com. Let'w work toyota to see what we can help each other with. Toyota is building crappy cars. At least seems for 07 Camry. Replies to this message: toyman5 (Nov 13, 2009 4:28 pm) jdzw (Nov 30, 2009 12:32 pm)

Replying to: jdzw (Nov 10, 2009 8:14 pm) You don't have to have the dealer do the work. No doubt, a reputable independent shop could replace one strut for less. At 54K miles, I wouldn't sweat it. An independent shop generally also has access to TSBs.   What exactly is wrong with the front? passenger seat belt?
#105 of 109 Experience with after markets struts on Camry? by sen79 Nov 11, 2009 (5:09 pm)
I need to replace struts on my 1999 Camry with 85000 miles. I am not quite sure whether i should go for OEM or after markets struts like KYB, monroe. I would appreciate if someone can share their experience with after market struts on Camry. Thanks Replies to this message: 210delray (Nov 11, 2009 5:17 pm)

Replying to: sen79 (Nov 11, 2009 5:09 pm) I have never replaced the struts on any of the 3 Camrys I've owned, except for the right front of my former '97, when it was hit in a parking lot crash. I just replaced it with the OEM version.

Replying to: jdzw (Nov 10, 2009 8:14 pm) We were successful in having Toyota pay for more than half of the cost of the repair. We paid up front and they are sending us a check. We called Toyota in Torrence, CA. There is a program called Outside Warranty Assistance Program. I don't know if it was because we have owned Toyota's since the 1980's coupleed with we were just 1000 miles over the warranty that they shared the cost, but it's worth a try. Good luck.

Replying to: busterbunny (Nov 11, 2009 12:01 am) call toyota in Torrence California and ask about the Outside Warranty Assistance Program. Our car was 1000 miles over the warranty and they are reimbursing us for more than half of the cost of repairs. Replies to this message: jdzw (Nov 30, 2009 12:32 pm)

Replying to: toyman5 (Nov 13, 2009 4:28 pm) Thanks - good info on the Outside Warranty Assistance Program for the struts.   I also called Toyota and got a case # assigned for the transmission problem. It's so annoying that I decided if I couldn't get that fixed, I wasn't going to dump any money into the car to fix any other problems (like the struts). As of today they are contacting the dealer on the transmission problem. Very helpful compared to the dealer, who just told me that the car ran really smooth during their test run and that the TSB didn't apply to my car anyway as mine is a V6. In working with Toyota, they confirmed that the TSB (TSB-0068-08) does not apply to all of the Camry's. Mine is a 2008 XLE 6 speed. It seems that there is a TSB 0090-09 that might apply - "TCM calibration to enhance shifting performance and smoothness during acceleration. " Toyota is intervening with the dealer so we'll see what happens.   I'll let you know if I have any success...
