Replying to: smythe (Apr 23, 2008 1:29 pm) When it came time to make the FWD transaxle more robust for fitting into the upcoming RX300 something had to "give", GO..... So the ATF pressure holding/sustaining accumulator was abandoned. By the time the '01 RX300 model year rolled around Toyota had realized their mistake and converted the series to a high(er) volume ATF pump to make up, at least partially, the difference. Than, as one would expect, the ATF began to be overheated and burned within just 40,000 miles. Now what..?? Well, back to the low volume ATF pump but adopt DBW to prevent instances of a QUICK shift when these is insufficient ATF pressure to provide the shift capability. But. Someone forgot to tell the drivers that they should NEVER get themselves in situations wherein the DBW solution did not suffice. It appears that the very best solution might be to have a variable displacement ATF pump so that HIGH volumes can be pumped even with low engine RPM but still stick with low displacement with engine RPMs in the higher ranges. At least that's the solution Ford came to. |

I live in Oklahoma. Like everybody else...I have the vibration also. I purchased my 2008 Camry in November of 2007 with only 29 miles on it (it now has 5900). It is an LE 4 cyl. At 40-43 MPH, I get the vibration driving up a slight incline holding it steady at 40-43. I took it back to the dealership I purchased it from, took the service manager on a test drive, he said that he hasn't come upon this problem before, but he did hear it and said that he didn't like it. They kept it for the day and also test drove another 08 camry with only 56 miles on it to compare to mine. It did the same thing. He called me back that evening and said that my car was ready to be picked up. He also stated that "the vibration you are hearing is a normal characteristic of that car". He also called Toyota and said that there was nothing he could do, but live with it. He told me to get a 2nd opinion if I wanted to. I took it to a regular transmission shop, who then told me that the converter needed work and that it has a vibration during lockup (which is not a norm). I then took it to a different dealership and we took him on a test drive, he felt the vibration. He then took it into the shop and "reset memory".....GUESS WHAT?.....it did it as soon as we left that dealership! Suprise Suprise! Like everybody else, my husband and I don't know where to turn. Here I paid 30K for this car and it vibrates?!? Does anybody know what I can do about this. I am not sure about the "lemon law", has it been too long? I used to have an '02 Camry...loved it but wanted something more sporty...so I got an '06 Mustang....the dash squeaked badly! So we traded it in on this 08 toyota camry, which I thought was the best, I was wrong. Any thoughts or words of encouagement would be helpful ?!?!
