hello folks,i recently went to test drive a 08 camry LE with auto and 4cyl that my local toyota dealership was offering a sale on..i have been reading about all of the problems that people are haveing with the vibrations and the slugish tranmission shifting so i took the camry on a nice long test drive with the salesmen by my side..as we got into the car i asked him if some of the issues that have been happening with the camry such as the tranny issues,vibrations at 40 mph,and sluggish engine performence have been corrected by toyota and he said oh yes they have been all corected begining with the 08 model year..he said that those issues were with the 07 camry models and not to worry.anyway,as we got going with the test drive i immiedietly noticed the tranny problem and how sluggish the car was.the salesmen was embarresed to say the least and i also felt the car vibrating when i got to about 45 mph..he suggested that i go on the highway but this test drive was over for me as far as i was concerned and i returned to the dealership..i think it's a discrace that toyota has still not addresed these issues with the camry and thank god i test drove the car before i purchased it unlike some other camry owners..live and learn i guess..

I have an 08 camry v6 LE, and have been noticing random "knock" noises coming out of the floor/door area. I went to my toyota dealer and after an hour they showed me a TSB stating some 08 Camry's had broken welds in the door pillars. There is no recall, and no solution for the problem...., what should I do? Has anyone else out there got this problem?

Replying to: kiawah (Sep 16, 2008 1:16 pm) Also said that there was no fix for the problem.. The service manager took a look at my car and said the it was in a "no access" spot. There was no way to get to the spot without removing "a whole lot of metal" as he stated... This is kinda scary since I just got burned by buying an 08 Ford Escape which turned out to be a gas guzzling piece of junk. So, I shoud just call Toyota's 1-800 service # and get a case number. What will this do for me?

2008 Camry (Hertz) I4 automatic w/23,732. 162 miles / Little Rock, AR / Olive Branch MS, 9PM-11:30PM, 5.52 gallons, 29.3 MPG. Mostly FLAT country, constant use of A/C & CC, 75 MPH, downshifts (mostly unobtrusive) only on slight rise overpasses. Peppy I4 IMMHO regaining 75 MPH from ~60MPH quickly and smoothy under CC resume. Comfortable ride but noisey engine under acceleration. 1-2 second engine downshift delay most definitely present, easily replicated, at 35MPH w/quick re-acceleration.
