#151 of 160 Re: 2008 Camry Seat Feels Loose [barkins] by JimRac Jan 20, 2009 (2:48 pm)
Replying to: barkins (May 14, 2008 3:04 pm) I have a similar problem with my 2009 Camry LE, purchased in later October '08.   Noticed the first week that the driver's seat intermittently seems to move while in driving. The movement can be in any direction, but primarily seems to occur during turns (moves side-to-side) or at freeways speeds moves vertically) over the crest of a hill.   As mentioned, this is an intermittent problem. It actually stopped happening for appox. 3 weeks at one point, then started up again.   I took it in to the dealer this morning. After the tech looked it over, the Service rep told me that the seat was bolted down correctly, that the rail in electric seats has a certain amount of play in it, and this was what I've been experiencing.   I've never experienced this particular sort of "play" with an electric seat before, and told him so. He suggested that when I bring the car in for it's first service in the next couple of months, that we arrange to have a Toyota field engineer look at it.   If this is still bugging me at that time, then that's what I'll do.   Jim Replies to this message: mcdawgg (Jan 20, 2009 6:01 pm)

Replying to: JimRac (Jan 20, 2009 2:48 pm) Another idea - try driving another LE Camry and see if it has any movement. I had a car a long time ago that had very slight front to back seat movement, and they replaced the seat track - problem solved.

Has anybody had problems with CD stuck in the stock Toyota CD player?
#154 of 160 Not happy with my 09 Camry :( by mrdisco33 Feb 03, 2009 (4:12 pm)
I purchased an 09 Camry LE V6 (Canadian model). I have not been pleased with my car after several months of ownership. Does anyone else have the following issues:   1. The plastic garnish surrounding the clock is completely popped up in the front. If you look at your dash it should be a smooth transition between this piece and the rest of the upper dashboard. Not mine. The dealer claims it's a fit and finish issue with this piece and there's nothing they can do to fix it. WTF. 2. There is a buzzing noise coming from my brake pedal. It's most noticeable when I first start the car on a cold morning and use the brakes. 3. The seatbelts squeek when your body shifts forward. They applied silicone lubricant which didn't solve the problem 4. The plastic piece on the driver's side B-pillar seems to be bowing out.   These things really bother me as I paid a premium for the Toyota logo. Conventional wisdom would dictate that such issues is more commonly found on an American or Korean car. I'm at a loss to see my new car with more defects than my 12yo American car.

Replying to: mrdisco33 (Feb 03, 2009 4:12 pm) The buzzing noise is probably from the ABS unit up in the front right of the engine compartment, which goes thru a self test first start. It's documented in the owners manual, and you won't hear it at all in about 3 months (from what I've experienced).   Don't have the other issues in my 07.

This sound seems to be coming from the foot well. It varies in intensity when I depress the brake pedal. I've had the car for about 9 months now and it seems to have gotten worse during the cold winter months. Replies to this message: bluebird74 (Feb 27, 2009 11:05 pm)

Replying to: mrdisco33 (Feb 03, 2009 7:45 pm) Hello, did you get any satisfaction on this? I know exactly what you are talking about, and mine is bad in this cold weather. I was told today by the dealer it was NORMAL, associated with a vacuum tube for the power assist brakes. It's an obnoxious, very electrical noise, underneath the driver dash but slightly above the break. Ridiculous. I am not going to accept that this is normal.
#158 of 160 2007 Camry Mileage by 4ruth Feb 28, 2009 (8:57 pm)
I have written a couple of times about my inability to get more than 22 mpg with my new used Camry. I thank all who have responded.   It has now been to 3 dealers. The last one told me that there is a computer in the car that learns a person's driving style after a few hundred miles and then it automatically drives the car in that style. Supposedly they took my car to the Toyota place (I bought it from a Honda place but the mechanic there is Toyota certified) and had it put on a machine that reset the computer so that it would learn my driving style. Since then, I have gotten about 2mpg more both in mixed and highway mileage. I think that 18 and 24 mpg still stinks. Tires are all okay. 30,000 mile check up has been completed. The factory related problem has been repaired. Toyota is saying that they can do nothing more.   Anyone with any other ideas? Replies to this message: 210delray (Mar 01, 2009 8:53 pm)

Replying to: 4ruth (Feb 28, 2009 8:57 pm) I forgot now if you have a 4-cylinder or V6. If it's a 4, that's not very good mileage. But gas mileage is one of those things that's hard to pin down because of all of the variabilities in driving conditions (trip length, traffic density, ambient temperature, braking and accelerating, use of cruise control, etc.) Yes, the the computer "learns" but it shouldn't be a major factor compared to these others.   I think when the weather warms up (if you don't live in a warm climate year round), you should take the car for a long drive on the interstate at say 65 mph. Maybe a 300-mile round trip or so, and then tell us what gas mileage you get, by filling up before you leave and refilling at the same gas station and pump when you return.

I have been mixing between high way, city, warming up in the morning and trafficking.   And the car has only 700 miles on it right now.   271.65 miles in my speedometer 10.340 gal at the pump.
