#4 of 851 Re: Poll of Camry V6 owners with transmission problem by catalina101 Dec 27, 2006 (11:07 am)
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

OK at first but now starting to flare during 3-4 shift when cold. Sometimes after warm-up and sitting for a couple of hours will flare 3-4 or 4-5. In arbitration now.

#6 of 851 Re: 2007 Toyota Camry V6 RPM Flare Issue [pat] by gajughead Dec 27, 2006 (2:55 pm)
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.
#7 of 851 2007 Camry SE V^ 3-4 shift RPM flare by superrayk Dec 28, 2006 (3:14 pm)
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.

Replying to: 1sttoyotaowned (Dec 27, 2006 7:48 am) April 07 I purchase my LE-V6, within 400mi. I noticed a flare 3-4 shift(300-500rpm)Dealer reset the computer and told me to drive it. Flare continued, Dealer added fluid and reset the computer again, This took care of the hot flare, but it still had the cold flare(first cold shift). The TSB for the valve body was done, along with the computer reset, and programming procedures. Still had the first time cold shift 3-4 flare. After about 12k miles and alot of complaining the dealer and Toyota offered to replace the entire transmission. This was done in September with very little impovement. At this point I was offered my full purchase price toward another Toyota vehicle. I felt this was a limited problem, and decide to stay with the Camry LE V-6, The new vehicle was delivered in Oct. and does have a small flare issue with the 3-4 shift. It only happens after the vehicle is driven and parked for a few hours, then it will flare while shifting from 3rd to 4th gear, only one time, after that its perfect. I believe it is a programming/temperature issue, and does not pose a reliability concern.

#10 of 851 Transmission Update by 1sttoyotaowned Jan 12, 2007 (9:17 am)
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.

Replying to: 1sttoyotaowned (Dec 27, 2006 7:48 am) My 07 Camry SE V6 built 5/06 in kentucky went into the dealership today to get the valve body replaced. My shift flare is VERY minor, and only happens on the FIRST cold shift from 3rd to 4th. I'll post again as soon as I can verify whether it was fixed or not. fingers crossed :| Replies to this message: gjwoodx (Jan 18, 2007 5:22 pm)

Replying to: 1sttoyotaowned (Jan 12, 2007 9:17 am) I had problems with the flare when shifting from 3-4th at 30-40 mph. Back in November the dealership replaced the transmission. This was after they tried replacing the valve body which did not solve the problem. Shortly after the new trans was installed I again experienced the same flare, but only occasionally. Now it has progressed and become consistent again. Additionally it now has the problem of downshifting when taking a corner at low speeds of ~20mph, then when you press the accelerator it revs way up, like around 4K, then slams into gear! My wife has had the slow speed gear slip/slam problem happen twice driving through a parking lot at work. Talk about un-nerving!  We will be contacting Toyota America again about this before we talk to the dealership. This seems to have netted us better attention than just going directly to the dealership as Toyota gives us an incident number and then contacts the dealership with a suggested course of action. I am considering trading the car for another brand at this point. I will give them one more chance to fix it. Good luck with your trans swap. Hope it works out better than mine did.  Oh, and the Lexus es350 have had a similar problem: http://www.clublexus.com/forums/showthread.php?t=250652 Replies to this message: user777 (Jan 12, 2007 9:37 pm)

Replying to: redcam1 (Jan 12, 2007 5:14 pm) post 151 of that forum, and the three videos are very interesting / i don't know if that flaring is typical of the stuff other people are experiencing, but it helps people like myself that don't have the vehicle understand what it is.
