drichard or anybody,
   Did you have yourECU reprogrammed with this new update? The Toyota dealership that I have my arbitration hearing through called me today and told me about it. I was wondering if it worked for you or anybody else. I am not sure if I go ahead and have them reprogram this if it will hurt my arbitration process, it is July 9th. They said it was no guarantee. Please let me know!

dezral:
 
I had mine re-programmed yesterday. I've tried driving in "D" at 40 MPH, just like I described in my first post; I have been unable to get the vibration to happen.
 
I'm very pleased that the ECU reprogramming has worked for me, but please keep in mind that I have only driven 60 miles since the reprogramming so far.
 
............. so far it seems to work!!

drichard,
  I am so glad to hear that. But, I am afraid that if I go have it reprogrammed and then it comes to my date for arbitration it will not do it because of the reprogramming and then after my chance for arbitration has passed it will start doing it again. I don't know what to do. I guess I should call the NCDS and ask some questions.

I had the first TSB done in October, EG036-07. This immediately improved the performance, and it is STILL running great today. It has not "start(ed) doing it again". I would expect this newest, updated TSB to also permanently change the programming - why would it not?
 
Over at Toyotanation.com, everyone has great results after getting the TSB done.

mcdawgg,
   I had the first TSB done to my Camry in April or May, it was the only one they had availiable at the time. I wasn't sure what makes this new one they have out different from the first one. I had found the TSB on the internet and took it to them (the dealership) and they said they knew about it. On my way home, my car started vibrating again. So that is why I am leary about this one. Since I am pursuing arbitration, I was not sure how to go about it. My arbitration hearing is next Wed (the 9th), so if I do the TSB and it starts vibrating in a week or longer, I am not sure if I will still be able to pursue arbitration again or not.

I went on a 1000 mile round trip vacation this past weekend. The vibration has not come back yet, and my mileage has improved by 3-4 MPiG. Cruise control also is improved.

Camry press Break, then press gass pedal feel stuck by dong_xin00

I am having this problem for almost one year:
symptom:
 
when car is cooling down (means when just start running in the morning or after car rest for few hours and start), it does not have problem described below
 
It happened when the car is getting warm up (after driving for around half an hour), when I stop the car at the traffic light or stop sign then try to go forward, it always hesitate to start, feel a stuck, has to press pedal hard, feeling like trying to separate two magnet
 
There is one time, i stop at a right turn corner, my steering wheel is at right turn position, then press pedal, the pedal completely stuck, which means i can not give gas, however, the car can move a little bit, i pull it over the side and stop engine restart car, then it can move again.
 
if i do not press break, the stuck feel never comes, it only comes after press break.
 
it bothers me a lot every day, i tried a mechanic, he open the front lid and put some oil at one place and said it fixed, but it does not at all
 
if any one experience same problem, please kindly help. Thanks in advance
