This seems to be an on-going problem which unfortunately there is no solid number as to how many 2007 Camry V6 owners are affected. This is a serious issue in my opinion which needs some kind of public announcement from Toyota stating that they are aware of the issue and are going to take care it. Right now, there is no solution short from replacing the transmission which appears to not remedy the problem. I am sure Toyota has an idea but I would like to start an on-line poll to get some kind of number. There may be only a handful affected, or possibly hundreds. My feeling is that there are many others with this problem which read these posts but do not comment or reply. This may get Toyota more involved in resolution to this defect and possibly give affected Camry owners options to make things right. This effort may be futile but I am kindly asking everyone who is experiencing this problem and has been unable to get it resolved to respond to THIS POST only ONCE with the following information. Reply number – make/model – location – what has been done so far Thank you for replying! Have a Great Holidays and a Happy New Year! #1 – 07 Camry XLE-V6 – Virginia Beach, VA – valve body replacement

For those who respond to this poll, would you please be sure to include the build date? Tagpats included it above, and I'm hoping that others follow that lead. I'm looking to buy the XLE V6, and in the e-mails I've sent out today requesting a quote, I've informed them that I'm looking for a build date after November. I'm hoping that purchasing a car built recently will have no flare-up issues as discussed here - and perhaps it's truly only a relative few who have experienced this - but I admit it's got me wondering if I'm making the right choice... Thank you! Catherine |

I have a 2007 Toyota Camry XLE V6 built 4-06. The hesitation/3-4 flare problem started about a month after I purchased it. When I took it to the dealer in Stone Mountain, GA I got the nothing's wrong, drive-by-wire story and decided to patiently wait for a fix. If nothing happens within the next few months I'm thinking about trading. But what to get, a different car or a later build. |

My Toyota is in Dallas Texas. Built in Kentucky 7/06. I noticed the RPM flare immediately and called the dealer. They advised there was a valve body kit and they would call me when it came in. Valve body kit installed with no improvement. I also notice the trans losing traction at full throttle 40- 60 mph. Feels like I am running on partially wet pavement and the tires are slipping then grabbing alternately. I am going for a buyback as I did not pay Toyota's price for a car that does not work properly. I can get this kind of problem from an American car company. Going back to the dealer this week to set the process in motion. I was warned that Toyota was tough to deal with and that is turning out to be true. Super Ray

Replying to: 1sttoyotaowned (Dec 27, 2006 7:48 am) My car still has a 500 to 1000 RPM flare on cold start. Failed arbitration since wasn't a safety or drivability issue!? Not sure where to go from here.

I see that a handful of others have responded to his forum. I am hoping that someone out there who had had this problem and got it fixed would post there success story and what was done to fix it. After months of on-going trips to my local dealership, as of 1/10/07, they got the go ahead from Toyota to order a new transmission for my XLEV6. I am not very confident that this will fix the issue because from the many posts I have read regarding, the problem still exists but hopefully, it will so that I could put this one down to rest. The transmission should be here within the next couple days and they stated that it should take a day to complete. I intend to discuss my future options before work is started to see what happens next should this not remedy the flare. I will follow up with results.
