I've been reading that the somewhat new TSB Tc002-07 has resolved the flare issue. Anyone try it yet?

Is the flare issue only affecting the 6 cylinder versions of the Camry?
 
I'm considering buying a 4 cylinder so I want to know if the tranny problem is a possible issue. Thanks in advance.

Correct, the flare is associated with the 6 cylinder.

The tranny doesn't seem to be a problem but vehicle hesitation has been according to the consumer complaints listed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. It actually sounds more ominous than the tranny problem. Try the following link:

The TSB TC002-07 calls for the replacement of the Automatic Transaxle Assembly w/Torque Converter which sounds like the whole transmission to me. If that's the case the previous posts indicated transmission replacements didn't correct the problem.

This TSB issues the replacement of a "different/corrected" tranny.

An older problem for some that was corrected with TSB EG056R-06.

Don't think so. One of the other members actually took a video of the flare, and posted it probably 6 months ago. It happens during acceleration, and as you watch the tach when the transmission should be upshifting, the revs will flare up an additional 500-1000 rpm's, before dropping into the higher gear.
 
Here is a link to a couple of videos that I took 8 months ago when my '07 Camry had this problem.

These videos are rather large so they may take a while to DL or display, so just be patient.
 
I went through valve body and transmission replacements on my (former) Camry and the problem still existed. Finally my dealer gave me a 100% refund on the Camry towards another Toyota. I'm now driving a Highlander Hybrid.
 
I'm totally dismayed and disappointed to find that the problem that existed in the '07 Camry V6 models 8 months ago still seems to exist in vehicles being currently built.
 
This does not seem to bode well for Toyota or the Toyota faithful.

Well...at least Toyota has integrity and replaced your vehicle. I am dealing with a droning defect on our '06 Honda Odyssey & Honda corporate thumbed their nose at us. The car was unsucessfully repaired 5 times & we finally contacted a Lemon Law attorney...our court date is Oct '07.
 
I considered buying an '07 Camry LE as my commuter car but knowing all of the problems...forget about it.
 
The tides may be turning for Honda & Toyota...mass production is killing the quality & reliability of these cars. Hyundai, KIA, and even GM is moving up the ranks.

That reminds me of a story about Eastern Airlines before it finally went under. Apparently it became rated amongst the top airlines for overall customer satisfaction.
 
Not because it improved but because all the other airlines slid down to their level.
