Transmission Fluid Change by djm2
Sep 10, 2007 (10:24 am)

Hi all:
   How often does the transmission fluid need to be changed on a 2007 V6 XLE Camry?
   Is there a "fluid pan" on this transmission, and can the "fluid change" be accomplished by dropping the pan, as opposed to using flushing equipment?
   When I had the 2003 Honda Accord, I would have this service done at least once a year, or every 20,000 miles which every came first! I will have about 22,000 miles on this vehicle in January 2008 (It's birthday)!
   Best regards. ---- Dwayne

Update September 7, 2007. Here we go again. After replacing the transmission 10,000. miles ago, (now having 36K on the xle) the same symptoms are back. Traveling at 60 miles per hour, I heard a ding, the red triangle went on with an explanation in it, The VSC error came on, Check Engine came on, The car with skid marks came on, the engine went from 2000 rpm's to 5000 rpm's. These error messages would not go off. The transmission would slip 35-40 MPH. Made an appointment with Carmax for the next day. The next morning, the error light were still on. When I filled up with gas, the lights went out. The transmission computer read out says, transmission problem. Supposedly there is a new software update for the computer. Waiting for answers. This would be my 4th transmission and my second new Camry XLE V6. NOW, WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?

From what I understand, no one touches the transmission fluid. If a dealer is caught changing the transmission fluid in the xle sealed transmission, all warranties are void, and the dealer is fined or denied reimbursment. I am not exactly sure, but there is something very special about this particular transmission. GOOD LUCK, you will need it.

Hi comus, please keep us posted on your situation. I am sorry to hear about the issues you have encountered. I can relate - at least a little. I had my transmission replaced 2200 miles ago (TC002-07) and I am experiencing the shift flare again. The Good/Bad news is, the flare isn't as bad or as reproducible so I am not sure if Toyota will be able to see it for themselves.
 
I spoke to Toyota Motor Sales last week. They said there wasn't anything they can do. They asked if I wanted arbitration papwers. However, I know there is a new software update but didn't want to mention it to them because THEY should be the one telling me. I am hoping and praying I can get them to buy this car back because I have a strong suspicion that they have no idea what is causing the shift flare.

Toyota is offering you arbitration papers knowing you don't have enough fixes to win. I went through arbitration and presented a strong case and felt I won until the decision came and said due to state lemon laws meaning amount of fixes is one reason I lost my case. They don't want to do the TSB because if it fails it will count as another fix.
  I know because I'm still fighting with Toyota to fix my car. It's very frustrating when the TSB says it will fix my car but nobody wants to do it.
  Just be aware!

Chuck, thank you for your reply. I really appreciate it and it is exactly what I feared. I am tempted just to trade in my car and take the $6000 loss rather than have salt added to my wounds by losing the arbitration battle. Do you think it would help my case if Toyota Corporate sent me some documentation that said they have no other fixes for my situation (even though I don't think this is true)?
 
Would you mind summarizing (quickly) your situation for us? I know I would really appreciate seeing what you have tried doing, how many times Toyota has tried to fix your car, how arbitration went and what you are trying to do now?

>TSB because if it fails it will count as another fix.
 
This sounds like the dealer and Toyota are acting in collusion to avoid trying to fix your car because it would open them to the required number of efforts at fixing it for the lemon law. Surely that's illegal. Toyota wouldn't do anything like that, I would hope. I would think your local dealer would want to apply all possible fixes hoping to find one that works on your Toyota.
