that experiences downshift on overpasses, and get 29 mpg on the freeway, that is; mine does. Ignore the transmission - turn up the radio; don't look at your gas receipt, and/or don't pay cash.   In my particular experience...they all do that....and I have driven quite a few different recent camries. I wouldn't worry about it at all. Replies to this message: wwest (Oct 01, 2008 6:23 am)

Replying to: phd86 (Sep 30, 2008 5:57 pm) I did not see anything unusual or attention-getting with the way the Camry drove, impressed overall was I if anything.   I would NEVER own or purchase a FWD vehicle but were I to do so I would find a way to switch off that center console panel "back-lighting" that is so annoying for night-time driving.
#135 of 165 Camry shift delay by retire4me Nov 20, 2008 (2:14 pm)
I have a 08 XLE V6 that has a delay in shifting most notable somewhere around 40 to 45 MPH. I have had it in to the dealer once in June for this and they said that they could not find anything wrong. They said I need to have their mechanic go out on a test drive to see if it occurs. Tthe problem doesn't all the time, I can go for weeks before it reoccurs. Will the new TSB (TSB068-08) correct this issue? Replies to this message: wwest (Nov 20, 2008 2:43 pm) kiawah (Nov 20, 2008 7:04 pm) dezral (Nov 23, 2008 12:33 pm)

Replying to: retire4me (Nov 20, 2008 2:14 pm) Because of an internal design change to reduce weight and improve FE the Toyota and Lexus transaxles will often have, in certain well specified circumstances, a 1-2 second delay in downshifting. My guess is that the same thing might occur in upshifting.

Replying to: retire4me (Nov 20, 2008 2:14 pm) Yes, the TSB will address that shifting problem. Takes 1/2 hour for the dealership to download the new software for it.

Replying to: retire4me (Nov 20, 2008 2:14 pm) I have a 2008 LE and mine did the same, I took into the dealership sometime in Sept and it doesnt do it anymore, I had the TSB done, took a few minutes and I am very happy now.
