Replying to: dcam1 (Jun 21, 2007 8:12 am) We visited several dealerships and drove a few. We found that the V6 XLE was the only one that came with all the options she wanted. Then we asked a dealership to find one for us. They found one and said it would be in on the weekend. Then closer to the weekend she called to schedule an early appointment to testdrive the car on the weekend. That’s when they told her that it wouldn’t be ready until the following Wednesday. They just had to put a new Transmission in it. Uhh, wait a minute, isn’t this a new car? She asked. They explained that there was a known issue and they were gonna correct it before it went out. That’s when we started looking at all the different forums. We discovered that there were many forums discussing this issue. It seems that the transmission surges and hesitates. Toyota has released a Service Bulletin, but not a recall. There are many Camry owners who haven’t had this problem. However, the ones who have had the problem, most all claim the problem is never completely fixed, or the car is now noisier than before, or the Dash isn’t seated correctly any more, the car is in the shop all the time, … Again, it appears that most of the problems we’ve heard about, have been with the V6. There have been some with the 4cyl, but fewer. We don’t want to take the chance that we might get one of these vehicles with this “known issue”. We wanted to get a new, reliable, car, but this one doesn’t sound like it’s the one. Unfortunately we’ll have to look at something else.

Replying to: sreedevi4 (May 14, 2007 10:32 am) As far as other vehicles. Some of my friends and coworkers have accords, fusions, fords, and pontiacs and they are ALL experiencing similar (and different) issues/problems with their vehicles. Even with a Lexus, BMW, or Mercedes, some people experience problems.... .....I don't know what to say. Is there any car that doesn't have problems?

Replying to: stlpike07 (Jun 27, 2007 10:52 pm) I can't wait to get the new body styled Camry I think it looks sharp! BUT UNTIL MY 1997 Camry clonks out completely and I mean completely I won't purchase. I LOVE MY CAMRY. It's 4cy,I keep the inside as well as the outside clean. I've got a whopping 244,542 miles. NO MISPRINT. I've even considered trying to get a job within the Toyota organization. No major repairs at all. I keep waiting at least for my muffler to fall of but until then I won't look for nothing to go wrong. Just my minor up-keeps.

| I'm looking to buy a new camry, but I'm not in a super big hurry. Anyone thinking waiting for the 2008 models should help to avoid some of these transmission issues and dash squeaking? | |

I can say I'm one who has been dealing with the Camry V-6 issues for 1 year. Dash noises, seat vibration rpm flares, gas tank noise , hard downshifts and the list goes on. I would'nt buy the Camry |
