Replying to: kay23 (Oct 29, 2008 6:16 am) I'd say this is normal based on how my '05 Camry (with the 4-cylinder and 5-speed automatic) behaves. The engine IS bogging down; this is supposedly done to maximize fuel economy. The solutions are as you stated, to give the car more gas or ease up on the gas. Another is to downshift manually into 4th gear when driving around town at low speeds. Just remember to upshift again to 5th (overdrive) when you go faster.

Replying to: santocs (Oct 29, 2008 2:40 pm) I personally wouldn't worry about a "little" vibration in the accelerator pedal. I mean even wearing different shoes could affect how this feels.

Replying to: kay23 (Oct 29, 2008 6:16 am) There is a TSB (Technical Service Bulletin) which fixes this (at least there is one in the US), go see your dealer.
#545 of 889 fabric and paint protection at dealer by cfink Nov 02, 2008 (9:02 am)
I have purchased a toyota camry le with fabric in metallic gray. Have not picked it up yet.....the dealer offers a paint and fabric protection . I know how my car looks after 5 years and was wondering if anyone has ever done this........? What would you advise? It will cost me $5 more per month on my 1.9% financing.

Replying to: cfink (Nov 02, 2008 9:02 am) all that does is line the dealers pocket.

Replying to: cfink (Nov 02, 2008 9:02 am) Here's the best advice you will ever get for "protecting" the exterior of your car: Never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, EVER take your car through an automated carwash.   If you have time to drive to a carwash, you have time to whip out a hose and HAND wash your car. 1. Wet it all over and let the dust/dirt soak 2. Wash with a very diluted solution of mild dish or handsoap from a bucket using a large wool or sheepskin mitt. Rinse each section after soaping. (by section, I mean roof, then hood/trunk, then windows, then doors, then bumpers/rocker panels, then wheels/tires.......in that order, so that your wash water starts with the cleanest sections first and ends up with the dirtiest ones (tires). 3. Wipe down with a good chamois to prevent water streaking while drying.   There are 'exotic' car cleaning systems, but this method is cheap, fast and easy and will keep your factory finish looking like NEW for 10 years or more. Guaranteed!   For interior, save your money and have it professionally shampooed if/when you sell the car......or when you think YOU want to see a cleaner interior.   Enjoy your new baby!!

Replying to: kiawah (Oct 29, 2008 10:37 am) kiawah--For the vibration problem on the LE 4 cylinder between 30-45 mph, did you have the dealer do the TSB 0068 or the TSB 0069??--. I know on this board we are mainly referring to the TSB-0068 and its relation to enhance shifting performance and smoothness during acceleration, so I want to get this correct. The TSB-0069 relates to the vibration problem Thanks for the info. Replies to this message: kiawah (Nov 02, 2008 10:11 pm) exler (Nov 03, 2008 6:20 am)

Replying to: exler (Nov 02, 2008 4:45 pm) I gave them both the numbers.   Unless your dealership is some very very small low volume dealership, they'll know exactly what to do. Just indicate you are having the apparent engine lugging and vibration problem at about 35-45 mph, give them the TSB numbers you found on the internet, and they'll take the car back and do magic.   You'll have it back in 1/2 hour, running like a champ.
