Replying to: amirk (Feb 05, 2009 8:37 am) I also make sure the the front is lifted a bit, but I don't feel that setting is as critical as the lumbar. I've previously had a similar issue when I rent Lincoln Town Cars to drive from the Bay Area to L.A. and back. Designed to be a freeway cruiser, but until I make that adjustment, I tend to squirm. Good Luck! |

| Today, I found 2mm Gap between Trunk body and passanger side tail lenz( break light, maybe). I can see the backlight bulb wire through gap. I went to dealer ship to fix it. it is 700mile OTD now, only weeks fresh. Dealer service center told me, even though they change new tail lenz, gap is not solved. He also told me, the same model has similar gap in there and they saw me. Please check this gap for all owner and let us discuss. | |

Replying to: exler (Feb 09, 2009 11:09 am) Your dealer is a moron. Anyone who claims that a brand new 2009 Camry has "performance" tires mounted on it is either living in dreamland (and needs another Valium) or has delusions about entering the Paris-Dakar Rally......in his standard Corolla!! There's only one possible salvation for your dealer, and that is, if the car was USED when you bought it.....then the person who owned it first must have PUT the high performance tires on it........and HE'S the moron!

Replying to: radcam (Feb 06, 2009 1:24 pm) My back is killing me...after multiple attempts to "ask" for help from Toyota and denied, denied,denied or they just told me I was too short, tall, fat, skinny whatever..the complaint went on deaf ears...funny how the service managers slide there hand on the seat and say "There's nothing wrong" crackes up me and my co-workers who came to the dealeship w/ me. They never sit it the car..what a joke. I took the car to an retired Honda engineer that has his "snow bird' home near my family's... Conclusion : THE LUMBAR IS PUT IN THE WRONG PLACE---YOUR SIZE DOES NOT MATTER..THE LUMBAR IS IN THE MIDDLE OF YOUR BACK WRONG!! THAT IS NOT LUMBAR. BUT I GUESS THE TOYOTA REPS WERE PROBLABY DRUNK ON SACHI WHEN THEY HAD THAT CLASS... Anyway its all good an going to trade the car for a Honda Accord in the spring...we'll take the loss... |

The word "performance" as it relates to the type/brand of tires being installed on new Camrys, (at least those for sale in your neck of the woods) is obviously being used very "loosely". There's absolutely no need for a "performance" tire on a 150(ish) hp car with a 4 cylinder automatic under the hood. That is, if what they mean by 'performance' is "HIGH" performance. If they DON'T mean HIGH performance.......then they shouldn't say PERFORMANCE at all. If it's not 'high' performance......it's a tire. Plain and simple. And if it's only getting 20k miles.....then it's a CRAPPY tire. And I think I can say this with some level of authority, since neither the brand nor model of tire is quoted anywhere in the sales literature or on the website. It's a crappy tire that probably cost the factory somewhere around 20 bucks. If the tire were anything to brag about.....they'd BRAG about it...but they don't. I'm amazed they even give you the size! Think about it. The SE (4cyl automatic) has no more horsepower, goes no faster and is pretty much the same as the base model......except for some trim. Don't you have to ask yourself why the factory would put a "lower" life tire on the car? (Or in their words: a tire that "experiences greater tire wear".) In short, if their "PERFORMANCE" tires are projected to get only 24 thousand miles OR LESS......ask your dealer to do himself (and you) a favor: save themselves some money and swap the "performance" tires for some shitty old Michelins that 'only' get 30 or 40,000 miles.
