Replying to: steven39 (Sep 15, 2008 9:54 am) That problem is resolved with a TSB, which obviously had not yet been installed on your test vehicle. Too bad. The TSB is a new software load for the computer, which takes less than 1/2 hour for them to load on.   I think if you ask that salesman to have the service mgr put the TSB on, and you took it for another test drive.... you'd have a totally different viewpoint.

Replying to: steven39 (Sep 15, 2008 9:54 am) TSB-0068-08 that updates transmission software was issued on May 21, 2008. All the never vehicles should already have it done from the factory. Most likely car that you drove was manufactured prior to this TSB date. You can search on TSB number and find out that issue with shifting was completely resolved.

Replying to: steven39 (Sep 15, 2008 9:54 am) Yes, kiawah and lucky 777 are right, the car you drove did not have the latest TSBs, only takes half hour. NOT all the '08s have the new software - I would bet that the one you drove was produced before the May '08 TSB.
#124 of 165 2008 camry broken welds in door pillars by pskinner Sep 16, 2008 (12:43 pm)
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: pskinner (Sep 16, 2008 12:43 pm) What did the TSB state that the dealer was to do? Ignore it? First I've heard of this. Might consider calling Toyota corporate and get a case number assigned to you for this.

Replying to: kiawah (Sep 16, 2008 1:16 pm) The Toyota TSB stated it was a limited nuber of cars but didn't state how many. 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? Replies to this message: kiawah (Sep 16, 2008 6:15 pm) pskinner (Sep 21, 2008 4:42 pm)

Replying to: pskinner (Sep 16, 2008 3:12 pm) Ask for them to repurchase the vehicle under lemon law, and give you a new vehicle. You have a vehicle under warranty, with a structural defect, and they're telling you they can't fix it at the dealership. Get a regional rep to meet you at the dealership to review your case.

Replying to: kiawah (Sep 16, 2008 6:15 pm) I am in Nova Scotia Canada, as far as I know there is no lemon law here.... What other options does that leaave me? I tried the CAMVAP thing before but it's more of a joke than anything..., can take years to get a resolution. I am going to the dealer Tri-Mac Toyota in port hawkesbury tomorrow to talk to them again.
#129 of 165 For your info, MPG & Hesitation by wwest Sep 26, 2008 (1:08 pm)
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.

Replying to: wwest (Sep 26, 2008 1:08 pm) Sounds like it needs to have TSB068-08 done, a 25 minute reprogramming of the ECM. The downshifts on slight overpasses and 1-2 second downshift delay are the complaints that people have before they have this TSB done - after they have it done, no complaints.
