Replying to: dmathews3 (Feb 12, 2009 3:50 am) Not yet- Once I have that seat touched by a 3rd party the factory warranty is void. We bought a brand new car, and we put less than 2000 mile on it. Not sure how this affects, safety, air-bags, insurance, there is a lot to consider. Safest bet sell the car and buy a Honda or Hyundai, I 'd love to the buy the 2010 Ford Taurus... now that's a beautiful car. Check it out-- This is a HOT car.  Thanks for your feedback- |

The factory warranty is not void by having someone fit the seat. Just like if you add headers to the engine it isn't voided unless Toyota can prove that the headers caused the problem. If your tranny goes south, fixing the seat will NOT void the warranty. There is a federal law on that.

Replying to: dmathews3 (Feb 12, 2009 2:03 pm) This is a sticky subject. If the driver were to get into any accident and the air-bags do not deploy this is a problem. (as an example) #1 Toyota will inspect the car and note that the seat was "modified" thus removing them from liability. and an insurance company may not cover the driver or passenger. #2 If there is another problem w/ the seat, and Toyota notes it was modified they will not make the repair. #3 These are legal issues and Toyotas legal department has more resources than any consumer to prove or dis-prove fault. Thus, we are choosing to sell the car and honestly disclose all details about the seat issue to the potential buyer's. We have a family to raise, in tough times mind you ,we do not need headaches about car. However, we appreciate your comments and attempts to a solution. Cheers !

| Anyone have this problem when going over a speed bump around 10-12 mph? It is most easily heard in that situation, but also will be heard on the road when hitting a sharp pothole at higher speeds in town at 20-35 mph. Thanks for any input. | |

I read a user's review on CarsDirect.com (didn't specify what year Camry model he had), and he said: "I test drove the V6LE to see if the available power was more pronounced than the 4 cyl. Well it was, but it always had a delay in response (1-2 seconds). Most cars other cars that I have driven have an immediate response when I "jump on it". I depend on this response when I encounter a situation that requires it." Has this been your experience as well? thanks!

Replying to: mm9 (Feb 16, 2009 9:45 pm) Lift, FULLY lift, the gas pedal quickly/rapidly and the transaxle will be more likely to remain in the current lower gear, say in preparation for a quick return to acceleration. On the other hand ease up slowly on the pedal/throttle and the transaxle will upshift accordingly and now be in the wrong gear (with ATF line pressure exhausted thereby no ability to quickly downshift) if you should wish to quickly return to acceleration. There is also the issue of the V6 TC system trying to prevent wheelspin/slip due to too much engine torque being applied for conditions. It is entirely possible that if the OAT is near or below freezing , of your having recently encountered wheelspin'slip, the V6 engine HP/torque will be automatically derated in the lower gear ratios. Remember that even momentary loss of traction on the front wheels is a much more serious matter than having that happen on a RWD vehicle, so the TC control firmware will be different. |
