Replying to: joel16 (Sep 06, 2007 1:08 pm) here you go. http://www.answers.com/topic/toyota-vin-codes   for a long time, people had been dismissing the transmission issues new owners were experiencing and reporting. interesting how there have been TSBs issued to address problems that weren't "real". so progress is being made.   i suspect (but admittedly do not know) that while the TSBs that call for a reflash to the ECU (Engine Control Unit), PCM (Powertrain Control Module), or TCM (Transmission Control Module) or what have you, you're probably not going to get around shift flare without some hardware change to the transmission, shift solenoids or torque convertor hardware...   Perhaps you can mitigate greatly hesitation and flare with reprogramming, but eventually, I tend to agree with poster wwest, you come up against some other physics issues related to flow rates, volumes, capacities, surface areas, etc.   And I would tend to believe it would be more expensive for a manufacturer for large N complaints to service / swap hardware, than develop and issue a reprogramming.   Good luck.

Replying to: user777 (Sep 06, 2007 1:25 pm) Wish Toyota would recall those 07 Camrys with the flare-up/downshifting problems or fix these troublesome transmissions. I really like the car, otherwise, but am really disappointed in the car, but more disappointed in Toyota trying to cover-up the problem. If they continue to stonewall by pretending that the car is "working as designed", the Camry will soon NOT BE #1 SELLING CAR IN USA. Toyota built their reputation on providing a reliable car and immediately correcting any problems for owners. Too bad they have drastically changed this policy!!!! I wonder if they think that we owners won't spread the word just as fast as we can to let the whole world know.
#523 of 851 Any other TSB's? by jewel2 Sep 06, 2007 (6:54 pm)
I also wish my Camry would be recalled because of the transmission problem. I had the EG7031 performed and the hesitation problem improved, but the revving and slipping between gears is worse than ever. Today I couldn't get the transmission to shift into 5th (I have an automatic) while I was going 60mph. Stepping on the accelerator only wrapped it up more and I couldn't get it to shift until I braked and tried again. The RPMs were really up there!   Is there any other TSB besides the 7031? My dealer says that's the only one.   Thanks. Replies to this message: kiawah (Sep 06, 2007 7:47 pm)

Replying to: jewel2 (Sep 06, 2007 6:54 pm) If your tranny doesn't shift into 5th and then to converter lockup, take it back to the dealer. Obviously not working correctly.

I spoke to them today. They said until Toyota issues another service bulletin there is nothing they can do. However, our Toyota service rep and his supervisor are going to a Toyota meeting in Denver next week and will bring up the transmission problems that they are seeing more and more of lately (not just the Camry, but the Highlander as well). I don't have high hopes, but perhaps something will happen. In the meantime I am to schedule a ride with the service manager to show them what is going on. At least there will be more documentation.   Thanks for the reply. I'd never heard of "converter lockup" but that describes what's happening perfectly.

Problems with flareup/downshifting affect both 4cy. and 6cy. As problems with my 07 Camry LE did not show up right away, I doubt if you will be able to discover problem with just a test drive. However, I would suggest you drive the car to an inclined road, get up to 55-60 mph, set cruise control, then wait and see what happens as you travel up the inclined road. My car displays the problems on any inclined roadway no matter how slight the incline. GOOD LUCK!!!

Replying to: jewel2 (Sep 07, 2007 2:47 pm) Hi jewel2, thanks for the post. I have a 2007 v6 and had my transmission replaced due to a 1000 RPM shift flare in April (TC002-07). After 2200 miles, I am experiencing the shift flare again. I have been working with Toyota Corporate and they have told me that there is no other TSBs they can perform either. My case manager asked me if I wanted them to send me arbitration papers.   After your post, I am beginning to wonder if they are confusing my issue with the hesitation issue that people are experiencing on the 5 speed automatic (4 cycl). I say this because I know there is a newer TSB out there for the shift flare that was released in June but I am hesitant to mention this to them...since THEY are the manufacturer and should be telling ME this information!! Anyway, like you, the service manager wants me to come by and reproduce the issue for him (even though they tell me there isn't anything else they can do). I am hesistant to do this too because, this time around, the shift flare is much less predictable. Anyway, we'll see what happens. I am going to try and video tape it if possible.

Replying to: jewel2 (Sep 07, 2007 2:47 pm) Hope your service reps are able to get Toyota to do something about the 07 Camry transmission problems that still exist, even after their latest TSB (Aug 2, 2007) was installed. Please post any and all info on this continuing issue.
