I'm not concerned either...
 
But the only DBW car I own also has a clutch.
 
Remember that majic tricks often work by getting you to look "elsewhere".
 
Toyota could be doing exactly that.

Both my Camrys also have clutches - but even if they were automatics, I would NOT be concerned at all. I'm just not into conspiracy theories.

True, the NHTSA still has the case open. In my defense, someone at Toyota screwed-up and said the wrong thing early last week.
 
BUT, the NHTSA said that there has been no evidence of unintentional acceleration ever found. The floor mats are the problem IF they are not secured with the hooks, or you put on on top of another, or use the wrong mat. They still have the case open, and Toyota is coming up with a fix to help the people who choose to not follow directions and/or use common sense with the floor mats.
 
Bottom line for all drivers of ANY cars: Use the hooks, use the correct mat, and use only one mat. Then, you will not have any problems.

A good, REALLY good, failsafe fix would be to KILL the EFI fuel feed any time the brakes are even lightly touched and the engine RPM remains even slightly above idle. That would combat any issue/question of the throttle being open or not.

They say the Camry is quiet as a tomb???? by koho955

I just test drove the 2010 V-6 XLE. All the write-ups on the car talk about how quiet it is. The engine is loud, the road noise is loud and I could hear all exterior noises as though I had the windows wide open. Next I drove a BASE 2010 Highlander on the same roads and was shocked at how much more quiet it was compared to the Camry. I will spend the extra cash for the Lexus ES 350!
Any opinions????

Better try out the ES before you lay down your cash.
 
I find it hard to believe the 2010 Camry XLE V6 is noisy. My prior generation Camrys with 4-cylinder engines are very quiet to my ears.

I forgot to ask; does anyone else think the JBL sound system in the Camry XLE sound like your in an echo chamber when listening to talk radio???
I need to know if I'm crazy or not!

I test drove a Camry XLE V6 and a Lexus ES350 back in the summertime, while the ES was noticeably quieter and had more sound insulation then the Camry XLE, the XLE was by no means loud or noisy during the test drive; you people who say the XLE is noisy need to go drive a sports car or a GM product to know what loud road/wind noise is like in the cabin
 
you really have to decide if you can afford the payments of a Lexus vs a Toyota: if money is no problem then jump on the ES350: it definitely was a little bit more quieter and the materials/fit and finish was better than in the camry, but the camry is still a really nice car for someone on a budget or who just wants a set and forget car to take them from point A to B
 
no matter how insulated a car is, even such as a Lexus product, your still going to hear a slight bit of wind/road noise when your cruising along an interstate doing 70-80mph!

The Camry is not a quiet car. I had a 2009 Hybrid, it whined, it had wind noise, and every bump reverberated through the cabin. Compared to the 2010 Fusion, it is no better than an old clunker. Try a Fusion before putting cash out on anything, you may be pleasantly surprised at how quiet it is. I have the Sport with the 3.5 V6, it has a nice growl under acceleration, but is quiet the rest of the time. The SEL is even quieter as it has more rubber on the wheels and has the 3.0 V6 that isn't sport tuned, so you barely hear the motor.
 
If you really want to be shocked at a loud noisy car, go test drive a 2007 or 08 Lexus RX400h, if you think the V6 in the Camry was loud, the Lexus was HORRIBLE! It sounded like it wanted to run in every direction except the one it was designed to.
 
Sorry all you Toyota fans, after owning 2 of them from 07 till just a few months ago, they are not that great of a car anymore.
