Come on...................
Get a copy of the TSB and check the VIN # yourself. Then schedule an appointment and take the car in, if it applies to your car.
Negotiating a solution??????????????????

Jan, the brevity of your remarks and implied impatience with it were less than helpful. Maybe you or someone else could send me a copy of the TSB since I'm not clear which one would be applicable. My VIN# is 4T1BK46K37U525XXX. The car is in for an assessment so I should know soon what they found. Secondly, I didn't understand the last part of your response about negotiating a solution. I'd be more than happy to hear about your experience as a Camry owner who has experienced this problem and what solution(s) you were able come up with. You are a Camry owner with a bad transmission right? Please share or direct me to your previous postings covering said issue.

Sorry for your rude "welcome". That was uncalled for.
Have you read through this discussion? Also go to 2007 Toyota Camry Problems and Repairs and use the Search This Discussion box on the page bar to look for posts about the issue. There has been a lot of conversation there. Probably RPM is the only thing you need to enter.
Let me welcome you to our Forums. Most folks here are very helpful and I hope we can help you with this.

So Pat, just so I'm clear, you are affiliated with Toyota right? I reviewed the other forums before posting my initial remarks. As a private business owner, the fact I have to take my time to sift through all of this just to try and figure out what my options are is extremely frustrating. That's why I bought a Yota to begin with. Since you host many of these forums and have since the problematic transmissions began to appear, maybe you can give me a heads up on what to expect. 1- is my vin # before or after the production change? Yota consumer services tells me there is no TSB for my VIN#. Is it your feeling they were mistaken? I truly can't resolve that question from the responses I've seen in the forum. 2 - did the production change truly resolve the problem? My Yota garage says even if they find something wrong they don't have a TSB to work from. You tell me, what is the next step?

No, I am affiliated with no one but Edmunds CarSpace. I'm sorry, I don't know what to tell you except suggest you search for prior comments. If you've already done that, then let's wait to see if someone can tell you what's going on.
I thought that we had posts about a TSB for your issue, but don't listen to me. I read a lot of messages every day about vehicles from many manufacturers and things do sometimes run together in my memory.

Maurie, i can tell you aren't happy. You shouldn't be. But, I think you're letting your frustration get the best of you. In this case, your post to Pat is pretty inappropriate.
People here including the hosts are try to be helpful. The hosts often find themselves serving as referee when other visitors go off track, forget civility, fail to abide by the rules of the site, etc.
No where do I recall Pat suggesting or implying anything siding with the manufacturer.
To my knowledge, noone has posted the full text of the tsb(s) related to the V6 Camry.
It's fortunate somewhat for the manufacturer to have this information a tad difficult to come by isn't it? By being a TSB (Tech Service Bulletin) rather than a Recall, they aren't obligated to inform the purchasing public. It's up to you to bring your car in and inquire if a TSB has been issued.
Nice huh?
I did some sleuthing, and came across this:
http://www.alldata.com/tsb/Toyota/1169193600000_1169625600000_TC002-07/2071.html-
(there are two pages to it)
Now, you check and see if your VIN falls into the proper range, OK? And if not, keep checking in. There may be more developments in the future. Hard to say.
Good luck to you.

I think Maurie isn't familiar enough with the entire site to understand the hosts' roles. He/she may have come here from the Toyota page. I never thought of that before, but if someone comes from there, they could assume these discussions originate with Toyota.
I'm really glad you came up with a link. Hope it's helpful to Maurie.
Maurie, let us know.

User 777, first let me thank you for your sleuting abilities. I'm not quite clear how to read the TSB but it appears my VIN # preceeds the number in "Timeline 2" so should be covered (again, not clear). Second, I was not aware of Pat's relationship with this site, ie., Edmund's employee. But if you want to talk about inappropriate simply reference his response to my posting. While no direct reference was made to being associated with Toyota, its a response you'd expect from someone who was trying to discourage the legitimate use of this forum to access information. So please spare me your insights in that regard. At any rate I do appreciate anyone willing to give assistance and quite frankly have no more time to give to this issue. To all dealing with this problem, good luck and I truly hope your issue is resolved to your satisfaction.

you are welcome.
just write your vin out and the vins referenced in the TSB, and it should be obvious. i figure the effort is in your corner now.
if i read the thread, i believe 07XLE was the one being short / terse... essentially suggesting you do some sleuthing on your own, and also perhaps flippantly suggesting NOT to negotiate with Toyota, but to get them to do right by you.
again, i could be wrong, but the written evidence seems to suggest Pat was actually trying to be kind and welcoming to you when your initial experience might have been abrupt. but that abruptness, and unless i'm missing a message in the thread wasn't his fault.
anyway, it's very easy in written or spoken form to mis-communicate. i'm guilty all the time of it. remember, everyone here just likes cars, communicating about cars, trying to fix cars, help people buy cars, sell cars, learn more about their cars, research a purchase, get support with problem.... ahhh now i'm doing Pat's work. i'll stop.

You have missed nothing. And feel free to continue to do my work anytime.
Thanks for your clarifying post. I appreciate it.
