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

I had my arbitration hearing on Wednesday, I think/hoped it went well. I asked for a repurchase. They told me that there was the new TSB that had come out in May, but I had already filed for arbitration by that time, so that is why I told them I didn't get it, that and the dealership called and told me about it a week before my hearing date. If they turn me down for repurchase then I will get the TSB done. I am glad that your car is better. I will keep you updated on what their decision is.

I hope your arbitration meeting went well for Toy does buy cars back, however one that has just a single problem as a tranny deal and it is widespread throughout a production model year the chance is slim of a repurchase..The Asians are rather brazen and arrogrant in fixing problems..
 
I went through a buyback on a GM car in 1999 with a 1998 Olds Intrigue that had accumulated 26k miles..It had steering and brake issues, all fixed as necessary by the dealer and always furnished a loaner car. No lawyer was involved and correspondance was limited, however car was repurchased and cost me $826 to drive those 26k miles..I was issued a check from GM for the original purchase price less the mileage charge of 826.. I endorsed the check and handled it back to the dealer plus an another check to purchase another new 1999 Olds Intrigue..It had similiar problems but with less frequency, however I put a quick 75k miles on it and traded it in on a new 2002 Olds Intrigue..After 120k miles on it, it was traded on a 2006 Pontiac GPGT..
 
I imagine that GM in the current economic climate would be a little hestiate to do the deal again..Maybe not..
 
I did a similiar deal on a boat back in the late 70's. Wheras the manufacturer removed the engines from the original hull and installed them in a new hull..The new boat was sold immediately..It was a three yr deal of problems, however in the end it was a excellent outcome..
 
Have owned 43 cars in my advanced age and never owned an Asian car, 41 Big3 cars and 2 Porsches..I was leaning toward a Camry SE-V6, but too many problems..Don't need the grief...
 
Good Luck!!!
