Replying to: bob08 (Feb 27, 2008 5:27 am) In reading Edmunds car reviews and Inside Line, the transmission related complaints with 2008 Camry are unclear whether these complaints affect the 2008 Camry 4 cyl, ONLY, or also affect the 6 cyl. I am interested in the 6 cyl but do not want to buy a problematic car. Please advise, if you know. Thanks.

Replying to: bob08 (Mar 09, 2008 6:47 am) The picture is still murky to me about the V6 transmission. My family now has a 2002 V6 and it has been a great car with essentially no problems, which is why I was attracted to the new "08 Camry, now offering an incentive rebate. But, I will probably pass on buying this new 08 Camry as I am not going to take a chance on getting one with a problematic transmission. I looked at v6 Accord but its ride is notably rougher and maybe ~$1K higher price with comparable options. |

I purchased a new 2008 Toyota Camry LE - AT - 4 Dr Sdn. I returned to the dealer who claimed to have reset the transmission computer memory. "Witnin the next 100/200 miles the comuter will automatically adjust-- no more problem! Within the next 100 miles the problem was worse. I returned and my dealer contacted Toyota's Technical Service and was told that Toyota is aware of the problem. There is NO FIX available and Toyota is working on it. Maybe, Toyota, will in the future, issue a Technical Service Bulletin OR perhaps issue a Recall. "Do not bother to return with the same problem as we cannot do anything about it." I contacted Toyota Motor Car, USA in Torrence, California only to be assigned a case number and was again told "NO FIX IS AVAILABLE." I should check periodically to see if a TAC has been issued. I intend to file a request for arbitration under the state lemon laws. If you, or anyone you know, intends to purchase a NEW vehicle beware of reports on the internet that alledge 2007 - 2008 and 2009 Toyota Camry's may have this defect. "BUYER BEWARE" |

But be aware that a dealer can change some of the driving charactoristics of modern day vehicles by disconnecting the battery and thereby causing the system to revert back to the factory default parameters. As the car is driven the engine/transaxle ECU "learns", and continuously relearns, the actual sensor tolerances and "correct" servomotor positions, etc. And I am NOT speaking of driver style/type charactoristics which are ERASED each and every time you start the car. |
