(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. |

Replying to: mm9 (Feb 16, 2009 9:45 pm) As a matter of fact it is my opinion that almost any vehicle built in the last 5-6 years will automatically derate the engine response in a tight low speed accelerating turn, especially from a full stop. |

Replying to: jackmalak (Feb 11, 2009 3:49 pm) Sake is a Japanese alcoholic beverage made from rice. This beverage is called sake in English, but in Japanese, sake (酒) or o-sake (お酒) refers to alcoholic drinks in general. The Japanese term for this specific beverage is Nihonshu (日本酒), meaning "Japanese sake." |

| I have an 08 and the dealer said there is a TSB to correct this--happens mainly in cold weather. Don't know if others have the same situation? | |
