Replying to: stlpike07 (Jul 17, 2007 10:47 am) Traditionally, first year models from both Toyota and Honda have been relatively trouble free, but it seems Toyota at least is running into some problems. So it could be a gamble on the Accord.   Still, even on the '07 Camry, my sense is that the V6 transmission has had more problems than the 4-cylinder, especially when you consider something like 75-80% of all Camrys sold have the 4-cylinder. My dime: I'd buy the 4-cylinder but wait on the V6. Replies to this message: camryowner1 (Aug 04, 2007 9:06 am) stlpike07 (Aug 04, 2007 2:58 pm) camryowner1 (Aug 06, 2007 7:36 am) and 1 more...
#27 of 69 Transmission hesitation problems. by mackabee Jul 17, 2007 (5:11 pm)
The early production models are the ones plagued by this problem. This car has been out for 15, 16 months? And still selling like hot cakes. I would not hesitate (no pun intended ) to buy either the 4 cylinder or V6.

Replying to: stlpike07 (Jul 17, 2007 10:44 am) I have gone to another dealership and have been to arbritration to no avail. Toyota is trying to protect themselves from doing a fix for my car so they aren't subject to the lemmon law. It's like I can't get anyone to fix my car or admit I have a problem even though they agreed when I showed them video tape of my rpm flare that it does exist. Don't buy a Toyota Replies to this message: stlpike07 (Jul 18, 2007 12:35 pm)

He finally finished one multi-chapter story (complete with menu details!) but I'm sure he has at least two or three still going.   And it is indeed good to have him back in all of his usual places!

#33 of 69 TCH by mfletou1 Jul 18, 2007 (11:00 am)
Just curious-- Some of you that want a Camry but are concerned about 4 cyl hesitation or V6 transmissions (neither of which I think are particularly warranted, at this point, btw)--why not consider the Camry Hybrid?   Pricing and features are comparable--the TCH is equipped more similarly to an XLE than anything else (standard auto duo climate control, 6 disc JBL sound system, etc). Acceleration wise, the TCH absolutely smokes the standard 4 cyl because of the additional battery boost (RT had it a 7.7 secs to 60). It gets 36-39 mpg routinely (I get 37 or so driving aggressively) and you are literally giving nothing up except for a little bit of trunk space.   And, best part is--there have been zero issues with the TCH. My dealer has had intermittent vehicles come up with those two issues--though not much anymore--but hasn't had any Hybrid's come in for anything. Its a proven hybrid system (Prius).

Replying to: chuck28 (Jul 17, 2007 8:47 pm) Chuck28,   I'm sorry to hear that. What else are you going to do? How are you going to escalate your problem?   If you have video, how can they not agree. I assume you've been dealing with Toyota Corporate too. I would threaten to go to major news channels with the info if they don't fix your car. Not that a threat is the best way, but it would likely work.   Let me know what you have planned.
