I do live around a low volume dealer--they said they did one TSB so far- - they did not know much about what I was referring to---I will try a larger dealer farther away. Thanks for the input.

"are you having the vibration problem between 30-45 mph range?--the TSB-0069-08 applies to that problem"
 
I gotta admit, I'm so busy enjoying the newly found level of non-hesitating, non-lurching, non-gearhunting......that I've become temporarily immune to any other fault the car might have. (except for that rumbling/grumbling noise I hear from somewhere 'down below' that sounds like a wheelbearing or CV joint...do Camrys even HAVE CVjoints?)
 
My dealer is not in a mood to cooperate with me on ANY TSB now since I ragged him out over the 2650 (Can. version of 068-08). I wrote the owner after being treated like dirt by the service coordinator and service manager. The owner emailed me back and said "many customers spend time on the Internet and come in with their problems PREDETERMINED"...........yes, and your point is?
 
That was his excuse for the service dept being jerks when I had to teach THEM about the existence of a TSB for hesitation and rough shifting. Shheeeshh!!

They'll get over it. You got your car running great, that's what's important

Camry SE pulling to the left by oka1jeg

I just bought an 09 Camry SE on Saturday, and I noticed it pulls to the left slightly when driving it yesterday. I found this problem on an old TSB (02-07) but has anyone else experienced this with a newer model?

I've read over the years that this is a somewhat common problem with all makes and models of new cars, due to the transporting of the cars from the factory to the dealer. I'd just take it to your dealer and they will take car of it with an alignment free of charge. Forgot, even before that, check your tire pressure (all 4 tires).

Any info if other vehicle manufacturers are having the same type of issues with their transmissions relating to these new electronic or computer systems? Thanks.

This is really not a big deal, this is a software change. Being in the software business myself, this is effectively like a configuration setting change. .....or....maybe another analogy is you adjusting the water heater temperature. Your water heater comes from the factory preset with a temperature configuration. It's too hot, or too cold for your family liking, you adjust the heater.
 
In the 4 cylinder's case, the vehicle would get into too high of a gear and lock up the torque converter, and then when you coast down your speed....and then again you would give it a little gas to try to speed back up the engine was lugging. Much the same if you were driving a manual shift transmission and had it in too high a gear.
 
In my case when we used to have the problem, I personally never noticed it until I rode with my daughter driving. She is a much more conservative and slower driver than I. I noticed it with her driving, but not with me. I just would give it more gas as needed, engine would downshift the transmission and vehicle would speed up. I'm sure this is why some people notice the problem, and others don't....it really depends on your driving style.
 
Anyhow, the TSB tweaks the shift points a little, car runs great no matter whether I drive it, or my daughter.

Best price on a 90 Camry by ronshi

I want to lease a LXE 09 Camry with leather, The MSRP quoted by the dealer is $27,800. I live in Los Angeles. Does anyone know what the best monthly payment after tax is on this deal if the lease is 36 months. Lets assume its for 12K miles/year. I would really appreciate some feedback And if you know of a formula where I can calculate the best possible payment that would be really helpful.
 
Thanks
