Help! Buttons Extremely Slow To Respond 07 Camry Hybrid

Sat, 28 Aug 2010 07:12:04 -0500

Ok..now this is weird...

My 07 Camry Hybrid starting acting strangely. For the past week, every control (including steering wheel buttons) take *forever* to react.

When the car is started, the navigation system will come up fine but pressing a button, like destination won’t respond for several seconds (sometimes as long
as a minute). The same holds true for the phone menu, onscreen controls for disk, side panel buttons and everything else. Even if I use the steering wheel to call up the phone menu for example, it takes several attempts before it works. And it seems to be getting worse. We’re not seeing any errors on the screen either.

Has anyone else seen this problem? Does it require a “master reset” or something?

We bought the car at Carmax about two years ago and purchased their extended warranty. If necessary, we may need to take the car to them but before I
do, I thought I’d ask and see if anyone else has experienced this problem?

Lexus In Disguise

Mon, 23 Aug 2010 01:05:38 -0500

Here's a slightly crazy idea. I'd like to get a Lexus...but make it look like a Toyota so as to be more inconspicuous. Ignoring the fact that the body in the middle will be a little different-looking, does anyone know whether it would be possible to change out the fenders and lights so as to make a credible-looking Camry out of an ES or an Avalon out of an LS? I'd also like to change out the grille and trunk emblems, logos on the wheels, etc. The interior details can stay, that's fine. Assume that cost is no object and I can obtain all the parts needed. How easy would it be to do this and make it look factory, at least to the casual observer?

Camry Le – Steering/pedal Question

Fri, 06 Aug 2010 09:33:38 -0500

Camry LE – Steering/Pedal question

Hello.

I have a 2007 Camry LE. I recall hearing or reading somewhere that the steering and gas pedal were different than some other cars in that they were highly computer-assisted or something of that nature. Reason I ask is that the steering is “softer / looser / more “play” in the wheel” than my previous car (Sebring sedan). And the gas pedal seems more sensitive.

Does this sound right/indicative of Camry LE? Where can I find out more about this computer system I heard about?

Thanks

Noise In Drivetrain Of 2007 Camry With 3.5 V-6

Wed, 04 Aug 2010 18:33:46 -0500

Hello from Michigan,

My name is Robert R of St. Clair Shores. I bought a new 2007 Camry LE with the 3.5 liter V-6, in January 2008. Since April of this year my Camry has been making a noise that sounds like steel wheels rolling on a concrete floor, when driving at 25mph and faster. The dealer says the transaxle fluid is at the proper level and clean. No mention is made in the owners manual about how to check this fluid yourself and there is no dipstick. I recently discovered a Chilton Manual for Professional Technicians at the library that describes a plug in the bottom of the trans pan that allows checking, draining and filling the transaxle. The same ATF fluid lubricates the differential as the trans. Anyway, has anyone else had this problem? I have Bridgestone Turanza EL400 tires. I have read about these tires loosing air, and also, disintegrating - online, but nothing about excessive noise. Last month, I drove to Minneapolis with a side trip to Spring Green, WI. Wisconsin State Highway 23 is quite hilly and twisty which should have been to much for a drivetrain on the verge of breakdown. The car made this noise all of the way, but it never did breakedown, nor did the tires go flat. Actually, the tires hold air well, except for two times when screws punctured them. Comments please.

Hi,
Aside from closing or opening the vent in the rear seating area, is there any other way to control the temp in the back?

Sun Visor Defect

Mon, 12 Jul 2010 17:14:21 -0500

Hello everyone,

New to this forum but have had our 2007 Camry SE for 3 years now. The extended warranty JUST ended and the drivers side sun visor has a problem with staying up, very distracting and a hazard in the event of a front end collision.

I took it off for now but the **** stealership wants to charge $200+ for parts and labor. They said even if the car was still under warranty they wouldnt have covered it which is BS.

Has anyone found a solution to the problem? I googled the problem and it looks like several camry owners have gone through the same ordeal. I tried searching in this section and the interior section and nothing came up.

Best price I can find on a NEW visor is $99.00 which is crazy to me. Weber Brothers auto has a "used" 2010 visor for $45 but they are asking me for my VIN which I thought was weird.

Any help is greatly apprecaited!!!

Brand New Here! And Now A Question...!

Fri, 09 Jul 2010 15:43:14 -0500

I just purchased a 2007 Camry that includes the optional sunroof. My question is where would the garage door buttons be located. I believe they would normally be found where the sunroof controls are. Is it possible that the garage door buttons are not included when the sunroof is added?

Many thanks!

New 2011 Xle Here

Wed, 09 Jun 2010 13:11:42 -0500

Just bought the new Camry yesterday, 2011 XLE V6 with just about everything, after some jerk in a pickup rear-ended the old 1995 Lexus ES300 and ended its life after 339,418 miles. Good to be here - will be reading and posting as things come up, from how to manage all the gadgets to what to do if? type questions.

Cruise Control - Normal?

Wed, 09 Jun 2010 08:05:56 -0500

Re: 2007 Camry LE

When I have cruise on and I am on a relatively flat road (ie no upward or downward hills), the cruise stays at target/set speed.

When I have cruise on and I am going up a hill the engine revs way up and the speed goes significantly beyond the target/set speed and stays higher than target for significant time before it falls back to target/set speed.

I thought cruise was supposed to keep it at target/set speed no matter what the conditions? Is the above normal?

Thanks

To Auction Or Not To Auction, That Is The Question

Tue, 08 Jun 2010 14:31:52 -0500

Greetings folks! I'm looking into buying a car, and came across an auction. I'm really not sure about this method of buying. Can any of you folks share any car auction experiences? Whether good or bad, I'd like to hear/read from you.

Another thing, I've noticed some vehicles have rebuilt/salvage titles, is there any big deal buying one of those?

Parking Brake Question

Tue, 25 May 2010 08:01:02 -0500

Re: Camry LE 2007

The parking brake in my Camry is the push-in pedal type, down below steering wheel. My daughter inadvertently left the parking brake on when she started up, and drove at low speed (25mph) for about one quarter mile with the parking brake still on. She said it made a whistling noise and vibrations in the car periodically. I am surprised she could drive with it on though! My question for the forum is - the car seems fine now. Would something like this do any damage? I was just going to get it checked on the next scheduled oil change.

Thanks

Ac Fan Stopped Working

Fri, 16 Apr 2010 04:33:27 -0500

Hi every one this is my first post. My father has a 07 hybrid bought from USA, one day the engine check light came on. He somewhere read that it turns on after driving some distance dunno exactly how much maybe ~30k miles for maintenance. And to turn it off you need to disconnect your battery. Here's the catch he did that and the check engine light disappear but the AC fan stopped working. Could these things be relevant or it's just a coincidence? Maybe you there to look for the problem or you know how to fix it, please let me now.

How To Get The Best Deal When Buying A New Toyota?

Mon, 12 Apr 2010 18:27:22 -0500

When I started to do research on my new Toyota, I came across this site that showed me everything I needed to know about how to buy a new car. There are more ways than you could think of that the dealership makes money off of every sale; doc fees, holdbacks, finance charges, and so many more. I went to the site and they sent me free information on how to negotiate with a car dealer, all the ways the car dealer is making money off of me, and how to purchase a new car at invoice price. After reading everything that they sent over to me, I was much more educated on the buying process and wanted to share that with all of you. I printed out the email, brought it to the Toyota dealership, and I walked out of there paying less than invoice price. If you are in the market for a new Toyota, this is some must read information and it is free. Take a look and please post any other advice you might have to help others about buying a new Toyota.

2007 Camry & Blackberry Curve 8330 – Fixes For Poor Audio Quality?

Tue, 06 Apr 2010 08:07:48 -0500

Hello,

I have a BlackBerry Curve 8330.

When I use it to play music (mp3s with a good high bit rate) the sound quality is excellent using the “official” headphones that came with the phone (3.5mm jack) and when I play music using the phone’s speakerphone.

But I run into problems when connecting the phone to 1) External computer speakers (good ones) and my car’s auxiliary input (2007 Camry) to play music off my Curve on the car speakers/system. In both these instances I am connecting the BlackBerry with a male-male 3.5mm connector wire (I understand that the Curve has a 3.5 mm headset/audio output, unlike most phones which are 2.5 mm outputs?).

I have tried several 3.5 mm male-male connector wires but get the following problems when playing music on both the external computer speakers and my Camry:

-- Low volume and muffled sound
-- A loud one-second burst of static/click when the music player goes to next song

Can you help me figure this out?

Thanks!

Rpm Patterns / Heater?

Fri, 26 Mar 2010 10:50:08 -0500

Just bought an 07 Camry LE. Great car. Runs quietest and smoothest of any mid size sedan I've driven. Question for the forum re: do these RPM patterns seem normal:

1. When she is first started (i.e., cold - live in Canada) she revs when idle (ie parked) at around 1,250 - 1,500. Shortly thereafter she'll drop to 1,000 and shortly after that to 750. For the rest of the ride she'll RPM at 750 when idle (eg at a stop light), which seems right to me. Does this pattern seem right to you?

2. When she is cold/just started, when I turn the heater on it increases the RPM by around 100-200 (eg if she was at 1,000 heater will spike it to 1100-1200). But after a while driving the heater does not seem to have impact on RPM. I assume this is normal - ie the spike in RPM at first is becase the engine is cold and she needs to rev up to produce heat, whereas later when the engine is warm it does not need to spike?

Seem like easy questions but wanted to ask anyway

Thanks!

Just Picked Up 07 Se

Thu, 04 Mar 2010 20:39:58 -0600

Just picked up a used '07 SE, dark gray with black cloth int. I travel a lot and am looking forward to putting the miles up on this efficient machine.

I noticed right away how smooth and quiet the highway ride is. Ha ha, I feel old saying that I actually enjoy a smooth quiet ride. ****!

I have 47k on the clock. Any highly recommended maintenance recommended?? Most autos I buy use, I go ahead and get the tranny fluid flushed. Any other helpful hints and advise is welcome.

How Much Coolant Level In Plastic Reservoir?

Wed, 10 Feb 2010 03:28:44 -0600

Hi,
I was looking at the engine just checking to see why my CEL (Check Engine light) went on,so I disconnected one the the battery cables for a few minutes, released the gas cap, which a lot of pressure was released, hooked the battery back up, and voila! no more CEL.

I also noticed the plastic coolant antifreeze container was practically empty except maybe 1/4" on the bottom with some sediment. Is this normal and while driving the temp gauge was in the middle, between HOT and COLD.

Should there always be a fair amount of coolant in the plastic reservoir or is this only a over-flow? I tried to remove the metal radiator cap, but could not.
I was going to disconnect this plastic reservoir,,there are two screws on the side, but there is also some other ones below this container. is it always wise or more practical to buy pre-mixed antifreeze from the Toyota dealer?

Thanks!

Camry Trim Levels With 6-spd Manual

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 23:42:02 -0600

Hi Folks,
I am considering "jumping ship" from Honda Accord to Toyota Camry and attempting to get info on 2010 Camry trim levels that have the 6-spd manual transmission (4-cyl, of course). My experience with sales people has not been stellar, they often do not have all the information I request. In surfing websites, I am finding conflicting information, some list one trim level with the manual transmission, others list three, and I just noticed one that listed three with manual transmission but the "base" trim level had a 5-spd manual. I want to walk into the dealership with as much information as possible, and that is going to be Friday (day after tomorrow).

Clarifications will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Headlight Upgrade

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 19:01:37 -0500

I've got an 07 LE with the stock headlights. I wanted to get the Silverstar Ultra but they don't make them yet in the H11.Any one have input on the Osram (Sylvania) Nightbreaker? They sell in Europe and claim to be 90% brighter. I've got 20% tint on the headlights and was wondering if this would still be too bright.

Break Pedal Pulsating

Fri, 04 Sep 2009 13:36:53 -0500

The break pedal in my '08 Camry LE [10K mi.] is rock solid until I put it in gear. Then I feel a slight pulsating on the pedal which I assumed was normal but it still concerned me. One day, and only once, it became very heavy, like someone was hitting the bottom of the pedal with a hammer. Put back in park and then back in gear and it was back to normal [?]. Was wondering if anyone has any ideas what this could be so that when it goes to the dealer I could be slightly armed with some info. All replies would be appreciated.

Engine Hesitation

Sat, 15 Aug 2009 11:11:58 -0500

1993 Camry 5sfe. The engine jerks/hesitates at one second intervals while idling, driving, accelerating. It is as if the ignition is turning on and off. The local experts are quick to say that it is: fuel pump, fuel filter, spark plug wires, plugs, distributor, dirt in fuel, fuse, etc. The odd factor that does not compute is that if I touch and hold the brake pedal just enough to activate the brake light switch, the problem goes away until I get off the brake! When I tell the experts about this, I get the "deer in the headlights" look. I can't see that the brake pedal is physically touching anything that might be shorting out, so there might be some computer interaction with the brake signal? Can you think of any other malfunction that I can check before I take it to the dealer? I try to avoid this solution since I am on a survival budget. (The most dependable car that I have is a 1990 Corolla that will keep on going until it collapses from rust!.) I got a new lead on why touching the brake causes the hesitation to go away. The vacuum is changing (reducing), and this may affect something. I was advised to look for a leak in one of the vac hoses. So far I haven't found a leak using propane, but I could use some ideas on where to look for other components that a vac leak would affect. I checked that the brake booster holds a vac, just in case there is a leak internally. Using the brake may be closing or causing an internal leak?! When I increase the throttle a little, it begins to surge. For no good reason I will next "Sea Foam" the throttle body.

2007 Camry Hybrid Question

Sun, 05 Jul 2009 16:36:27 -0500

Hi everyone:

I am new to the Camry forum and in need of your assistance. My 2007 Camry Hybrid was in an accident with a deer and a fair amount of damage was done. The sensor for the ABS was broken off. The sensor for the ABS is part of the main engine wiring harness and costs about $2100 plus labor to repair. My insurance company says that the harness does not need to be replaced, rather just a PIGTAIL soldered in place. I want to know if:

1. Can this/should this be done?
2. Is this legal as it is part of the ABS/braking system on the car?
3. Will this void the manufacturers warranty?

I am fighting with my insurance company to have them replace the entire harness as opposed to just "putting a bandaid in place, as the car is only 2 years old.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance everyone.

Very Expensive Repair, Please Help

Sat, 10 Jan 2009 08:14:11 -0600

The water pump went wrong in my car and the car broke down, damaging the cylinder (that’s what the mechanic said). I think is full of it and is too expensive ($1500-$1700). The me car is not drivable, so i had to bring it to this mechanic that is friend with a friend of mine, he said I need to replace:

- The cylinder head gasket kit.
- Timing belt.
- Water pump.

I probably need another opinion, because the mechanic says that i need to change the cylinder head gasket because there is no compression to start the car. And even if i only replace the Timing belt and the Water pump the car wont start -I don’t know what that means-. So, he need to work in the cylinder for over 10 hours...BS, the final price could be around $1700

What do you think?

Any help or advise to save money will be appreciated.

Trunk Won't Close

Mon, 13 Oct 2008 10:01:52 -0500

I suddenly can't latch the trunk on my 2007 Toyota Camry Hybrid. It closes all the way, and nothing is blocking it, but it won't latch and stay shut. The little yellow emergency release inside the trunk (for if you get locked in the trunk) is dangling down. Also, the latch inside the car that opens the trunk just moves freely. Should the yellow emergence release not be showing--is there somewhere I need to "stow" it for the trunk to be able to latch? Any advice would be appreciated!

2009 Toyota Camry

Tue, 15 Jul 2008 19:07:55 -0500

2009 Toyota Camry-2.4L-158HP-4CYL DOCH
Just bought this yesterday. Beautiful car. Barcelona Red Metal Flake. Actually wife's new ride. New to Toyota. I own a 93 Infiniti G20 & a 96 Nissan Pathfinder. Had a few questions I would appreciate answers to.

1- At what mileage should I have the factory fill engine oil changed?

2- I have always done overkill on oil and filter change. Will probably do this car the same way. Is it worth using the TRD Japan Style High Volume Oil Filter or OEM or K&N, Mobil 1 EP, Pure One or Amsoil EaO?

3- It calls for 5W20. Any real favorites in regards to oil brands? I will use synthetic. Local dealer uses Castrol. Not sure if in bulk or quarts. They have both dino and synthetic at the dealer.

4- Gas. States that regular will do. I've always used premium in all my vehicles. Dealer I purchased it from said regular is all they put in any car. Thoughts on which octane level of fuel will be appreciated.

Regards,
bill

2007 Camry V6 Hesitation

Mon, 30 Jun 2008 16:49:44 -0500

Just a heads up. I was having terrible hesitation problems and follwed by the transmission clunking into gear. This was occuring when i was in motion. For example, if i was on the highway and I took my foot off the gas, and then stepped on the gas again, I would get a huge hesitation followed by the tranny clunk.

I took it to the toyota dealer and the did adjust it. it is greatly improved, but not perfect. If you are facing this issue, I suggest you bring it in.

has anyone else had this issue?

I have looked everywhere to find information on programming the key fob / key on a 2007 Camry. Nothing. I have programmed many Toyotas before this. Can I do it myself or does the dealer have to do it? They want $80 to program! What a rip!

None of the old techniques worked.

Did I Get Ripped Off?

Tue, 03 Jun 2008 22:56:05 -0500

07 Camry LE 4 cyl
I'm paying 462.57 for 72 months. APR at 6.5%

Total pay=$34,305!!!

I got ripped off badly, didn't I? Because we had agreed to 60 months and all of a sudden, months later, I realize that my payments are for 72...yeah, I was inexperienced. So now I want to get rid of it and never buy Toyota again. I have my eyes set on a civic si. :)

What do you guys think? How badly did I get ripped off?

2007 Center Console Camry

Sun, 25 May 2008 18:03:24 -0500

So I am home for vacation and my mom dropped something down the rear storage compartment in the center console.

The compartment is the one between the gearshift and the armrest.

Can anyone help me either take the top of the door off or center console apart?

Toyota Camry Reliability -- Better, Quicker Info

Fri, 02 May 2008 11:48:48 -0500

Because existing sources of auto reliability information left much to be desired, in late 2005 I started conducting my own reliability research at TrueDelta.com. TrueDelta reports absolute stats like "trips to the shop" that make the differences between cars much clearer. Results are updated four times a year, so any significant changes in a model's reliability become apparent quickly.

With the 2007 Camry V6, we were the first source of reliability stats to report a problem with the automatic transmission. And with prompt quarterly updates we're the only source to report improvements. There will be another update in about a week.

The main thing the research needs: more participants.

Participants simply report repairs the month after they occur on a one-page survey. When there are no repairs, they simply report an approximate odometer reading four times a year, at the end of each quarter.

To encourage participation, panel members receive full access to the results for free.

Recent Camry Quality Issues?

Tue, 29 Apr 2008 21:15:00 -0500

I've read several posts here, and a few items in the automotive press about quality issues with recent Camry's. Esp. interior misalignments, squeaks/rattles, etc. Has Toyota acknowledged this, and have they indicated that fixes are on the way? I'm considering an '09 XLE, but want to be sure the car I get will be up to Camry's historic quality standards.

2007 Camry

Sun, 23 Mar 2008 14:39:38 -0500

I have a 2007 Camry SLE model and during the winter months when the vehicle interior is still cold, there is a rattle coming from the dash. It seems to be coming from the two front air vents above the radio controls. I have tried holding the vent in different positions but the rattle is still there. Has anyone experienced this problem?

Check Your Balljoints

Wed, 05 Mar 2008 17:10:23 -0600

I've seen a few post of tire wear, shake, and the like. I had a balljoint fail and caused an accident.
I took the car in twice before it happened, the dealer said it was in spec. The front tires are down to the indicators at less than 4000 mile (on dealer record). Toyota Corp. says they will do nothing. The car needs to be steered to go straight above 45mph.

btw Before the accident mile/gal. was 35, after I was able to get 40 for awhile. But now it's hard to get 36.

Airbag And Alarm Problem On 2008 Se

Sun, 24 Feb 2008 00:38:42 -0600

Last night I took my girlfriend on my 2008 SE, and noticed that the airbag indicator shows "Airbag Off". It's weird because she is about 87lbs, and she should be heavy enough to activate the airbag to turn it on. I wonder if anyone has the same problem.

Another problem I have with the car is when I press and hold the truck button on the remote control to open the truck, the alarm goes off. Is that how it is, or just my car?

Thank Everyone

08 Camry Le V6 Engine Tapping During Cold Start While Driving

Tue, 29 Jan 2008 14:47:45 -0600

I had my Camry for only a month, and the engine has already been emitting this audible tapping noise driving right after cold start. As the temperature normalizes between hot and cold, the noise gradually quiets. Is this a problem for any of you 08 Camry V6 owners?

The Toyota service department is telling me that this is "normal". Asking the service guy why this sound never occurred in any past Toyota's, including the Camry's, he replied that the new engine for the Camry 07 and 08 is designed in a way where it will normally emit this tapping noise. This sounds a little too hard to believe. I even drove a Toyota manager's Camry SE 07 V6 and the tapping noise was constant when driving, even after cold start. His car only had 5000 miles. The manager even claims that there is noise from the engine, and he doesn't know why there is. With my mileage at around 2600, I hope I don't develop those problems!

If this is something occurring amongst all the Camry 08s, I would be quite surprised that no one has complained about such noise. I hope some of you can play close attention to the tapping noise, if there is one.

Thanks, and I hope to hear some responses from you guys.

Bought '08 Camry, Disappointed With Audio System

Thu, 03 Jan 2008 15:18:44 -0600

I bought a new '08 Camry and I'm disappointed with its stereo system.

The sound is dim and just not bright enough, or 'present' enough. My previous car was an '03 VW Passat, and that one had a Monsoon system, with excellent audio.

I talked to some of my friends that have an '07/08 Camry and they confirmed that Camry's standard audio system sucks, and that it's not just me. This is regardless of how you tune the Front/Rear Fader.

So, what are my options? Has anyone gone through the ordeal of replacing or upgrading a stereo system for a Camry? any advice?

2007 Camry Xle Auto Off Headlight Time Adjustment

Wed, 02 Jan 2008 21:59:45 -0600

How do I adjust the time on the headlights before they shut off. In the manual it says the "dealer" has to make the change. Currently it goes off after 30 seconds. I can bypass the time by pressing the lock button twice on the ignition key, but would light them to shutoff automatically when the engine stops.

Thank you in advance,
Dan.

Toyota Camry Reliability

Tue, 11 Dec 2007 12:45:34 -0600

Because existing sources of auto reliability information left much to be desired, in late 2005 I started conducting my own reliability research at TrueDelta.com. TrueDelta reports absolute stats like "trips to the shop" that make the differences between cars much clearer. Results are updated four times a year, so it's possible to provide reliability information on new models quickly. Also, any significant changes in a model's reliability become apparent quickly.

Over 100 owners of the 2007 have already signed up to participate. But I've found that reliability varies a lot by engine with the Camry, so I've had to split up the sample size by powertrain. So many more are needed.

Owners of the 2008 also very much needed, to learn if reliability has improved compared to the 2007.

Participants simply report repairs the month after they occur on a one-page survey. When there are no repairs, they simply report an approximate odometer reading four times a year, at the end of each quarter.

To encourage participation, panel members will receive full access to the results for free.

New To Forum Not New To Toyota

Sun, 02 Dec 2007 15:45:44 -0600

Our 1st Toyota Camry was a 2001. We traded it on a 2006 Camry. In Nov 07 we were involved in a serious head on accident. The other driver was 89 years iof age and on the wrong side of the highway. The 2006 Camry held up pretty well considering. Needless to say we did not walk away from the accident. Thank God there was a Trauma center within 3 miles . We bought another Camry without driving it. A 2008 XLE.

The Phone That Can't

Sat, 01 Dec 2007 20:03:05 -0600

The Bluetooth phone that comes in several Toyotas is poor sad crap did I say it bites it bites it does nothing. The phone will only hold twenty numbers no information as is needed for good contacts. Would you like to connect and dial the extention number and see a web address and set the ringer for work and personal ringers. I have sent out a request from some GEEKS to do just that I think it is C++ programing but I am not a geek, well not a tech geek.
I hope the Irish guys will give me some news in a day or two that I can pass along to you.

08 Camry Se V6 Steering

Sat, 01 Dec 2007 12:36:51 -0600

I have heard several people speek of the steering on the Camry seems to be loose or has some problem. I did not find it at first. We have only had the car a short time and I still have not had enough time to evaluate the problem. I have quite a bit of experience with sports cars of all kinds and a few race cars. The steering does seem to grab every little ripple in the road and any bump or dip. I am not sure why this is, however some cars set up for the track feel this way but they are RACE CARS not to be driven on the street. On another forum I chewed some poor guys but for whining about this. I am sorry I did not give him a chance to explain further. The truth is the last thing a new buyer wants to hear is a problem with the car they just laid out big bucks for. But back to the issue it is real I have found the steering flops left in a hard turn and you can feel it pull the wheel if you drive in a circle in a parking lot. I have also felt it in a left hand turn driving on the street. The street is a 90 left hand turn by my house but you can drive it at 20 MPH or faster. Some people have washed out and went into the guys yard that lives on that corner. So it is a hard left hand and again the wheel pulls hard if I was not holding it tight it would go full left and the car would crash or spin.
The issue with the road surface is another head scratcher,is this just agressive steering? I would not want my grandmaw driving it with this kind of steering. If Toyota set up the steering to have optional ESC and the car reacts wrong because of that not being installed ,maybe they should have to install it to correct this problem. please post your steering evaluation and lets see if anything gels. i do not like the little side ways jerks the car does when youb hit a small dip or bump. Our roads here in Norther New Mexico are anything but good so I have the surface to feel all this. The rest of the car seems ok but I am still under a K miles on the car. remember others have felt this but were blown off as paranoid.

New Camry Se V6 Blue Ribbon

Thu, 15 Nov 2007 22:03:28 -0600

I love this car I don't get to drive it my wife grabs it every day and i get our van to drive.
But I did get to run it around for the weekend. I had to dodge a moron who ran a stop and when I nailed it to get out of his way I speeled that is speeding and squeled the tires. I was impressed it left rubber. I was more impressed it did it at about 6500 ft alt. I hear some bad raps about Camry but the car feels real good right now. Maybe after a few thousand I will have gripes but I am a gear head so I will work through them.
I hope my dealer is as good as people tell me they are. Anyway I am stoked about this cool ride We got the 18" TRD wheels and that dresses it up a little and that blue paint is real nice.

I get to drive it more now not enough however not enough since she still drives it to work.
I guess you guys are not happy since no one made a comment 0 nada zip about my new ride. Well I guess thats because you do not have an SE V6 with 18"TRD rims and JBL sound which kicks butt. Sorry sucker if you want to play you got to pay. Words from the West Coast Chopper man $ right in the palm suckers

Possible Option For 2008 Camry Le V6

Sat, 03 Nov 2007 08:34:40 -0500

Please don't shoot the newbie...

I'm already talking to the dealer about the car. After test-driving a number of cars, I know I really want the Camry LE. Yes, the V6

I realize parts of these questions are covered in other threads here and there, but I'd appreciate help on several options, please. I'm trying to keep the cost down, but I only buy a new car about every ten years, and I don't want to be unreasonably cheap.

I presume the Vehicle Stability and Traction Controls just make sense, so I'll add them. That also adds a 16 inch spoke alloy wheel, according to the Toyota site's Build feature. Good enough, or are the "16 steel wheels...and full wheel covers" okay? If they mean hubcaps, I'll pass.

Should I go for 17" or larger alloys? Worth it, or just nice to have?

A friend who has a 07 XLE V6 (and no tranny or revving problems, fwiw) didn't opt for the door guard strips. He said he thought 200 bucks was too much for "a couple of pieces of plastic". I like the look of the Camry without them far better, but I can only imagine what it'll look like five years of supermarket parking lots later if I *don't* get them.

And, I'll really miss having fog lights - I've gotten very used to them in the past ten years, but I'd rather have the LE than SE lines. I'm not a DIY-guy, so I'd have a shop that the dealer recommends install them if there's a reliable after market set, and it doesn't screw up the bumper or the electrical system - as a set did once on another car I owned. (This dealer doesn't install them.)

Your opinions? And, am I forgetting anything else?
Thanks in advance!

08 Camry Le V6 Vibration Problem

Mon, 01 Oct 2007 18:56:46 -0500

I'm new to this site and forum. Just bought an 08 Camry LE V6. After about 200 miles and driving on the freeway, I suddenly noticed a bad bouncing and vibration from the right rear. Pulled off the freeway thinking it was a tire going flat but tire looked ok. It felt like the wheel maybe lost a weight and became out of balance since it was worse around 70-74 mph. Over the next 100 miles (had to drive it to LA), it felt more like a strut problem. Taking it to dealership in morning. Anyone experiening similar problems with a new Camry? It came with Michelin tires. Problem seems to be the right rear.

New Camry Recall By Nhtsa

Thu, 27 Sep 2007 08:20:13 -0500

Am I not understanding this recall correctly? If all it takes is not putting on another floor mat on top of factory floor mat and securing the factory floor mat to the hooks on the floor board, why is this recall necessary? Does this mean all 07 Camry owners are entitle to a brand new set of floor mats?

Is $23,700 Too Much For 07 Camry Xle V6?

Thu, 06 Sep 2007 07:47:41 -0500

Is $23,700 too much for Japan built 07 Camry XLE V6 w/ leather?
It does not have any other options. Other than a couple of minor scratches on the rear bumper, it is in very good condition. Interior is nearly new. It also has professional tinting done,
It is used and has 18,000 miles on it.

Does Transmission Issue Affect Japan Built Camry V6 Also?

Wed, 05 Sep 2007 18:14:24 -0500

Does transmission issue affect Japan built Camry V6 also or is it limited to US built Camry V6s only? I just bought a Japan built used 2007 Camry XLE V6 with 18,000 on and I'm wondering if the previous owner had this issue. I'm thinking if he did have this issue then he probably had it addressed. I wonder if my local Toyota dealer would provide me with service history on this vehicle. I have not notice any issue with transmission yet. However, I did notice strange clicking noise when I turn my steering wheel all the way to one side. Not very severe though.

2007 Toyota Camry Recall!

Thu, 26 Jul 2007 01:19:39 -0500

You all know how I love to surf the net. Came across some important information that you might need. I found this on a site that lists vehicles that could potentially have a recall issue.. Here's what I found :

2007 Camry -- > ON CERTAIN VEHICLES, DUE TO IMPROPER ASSEMBLY OF THE AIR BAG INFLATOR, WHICH IS USED IN THE SIDE AIR BAG, THE CURTAIN SHIELD AIR BAG, AND THE KNEE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY, SOME INFLATORS WERE PRODUCED WITH AN INSUFFICIENT AMOUNT OF THE HEATING AGENTS NECESSARY FOR PROPER AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT. IN THIS CONDITION, THE EXPANSION FORCE OF THE GAS MAY BE INSUFFICIENT TO PROPERLY INFLATE THE AIR BAG WHEN THE SRS SYSTEM IS ACTIVATED DURING A CRASH.

DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE SPECIFIC SRS AIR BAG. THE RECALL BEGAN ON APRIL 6, 2006. OWNERS MAY CONTACT TOYOTA AT 1-888-270-9371, SCION AT 1-866-548-1851, OR LEXUS AT 1-800-255-3987.

Question About Dvd/navigation System

Wed, 20 Jun 2007 10:52:22 -0500

Please note: I don't own the car (or any Toyota at this point) so my knowledge in this regard is limited.

I recently bought a Garmin Nuvi 350 car GPS and noticed that a tour guide add-on memory card is available, which adds detailed descriptions, ratings, and possibly pictures to various points of interest (the GPS itself only comes with address/phone number/location type information). I was wondering if such an add-on (possibly a 3rd party DVD?) is available for the DVD navigation system in 2007 Camry Hybrids. The car belongs to my dad and I'm considering this as a potential birthday present, if it exists.

2007 Camry Xle 4 Cyl Price Quote

Tue, 05 Jun 2007 14:15:03 -0500

Hello guys, I am shopping around for a 4 Cylinder Camry XLE with leather interior. The prices I've been able to talk it down to ranges to the high 24,000's . The best price being 24,450 with the freight charge waived. The problem with that is that they do not have it in their lot yet. I have a few questions about this.

1) Is this a good price??

2) What problems might present since they dont have the car in their lot yet?

2b) Could they sell it to me and have me waiting a long time to get it?

3) Anything else I should look out for?

The car will now be mostly outdoors.

I like to get a car cover for it and I just wondering what kind do you recommend that I get online?

I do NOT want a custom made car cover because I found out they have terrible resale value so I don't want to get that. I should know. Several years ago, i try to sell a custom made car cover for Honda Civic and I only sold it for $5.

Thanks for any recommendations you can give to me.

Kentuck Build 3/07 V6 Camry Le

Fri, 30 Mar 2007 08:20:55 -0500

Purchased/brought home my 2007 V6 Camry LE last night (Vin# 4T1BK46K37U035066) and according to TSB #TC002-07 does not appear to have any of the problematic 3rd/4th gear flare issues. Being a first year model 6-speed for the Camry I decided to purchase the 7yr/100k/$0-deductable GENUINE Toyota Extended Warranty just to play it safe. This 6-speed is unserviceable using a "sealed for life" thought process...there isn't even a dip stick to check for fluid level by the mechanically inclined! Besides getting "peace of mind" on what might be a 1st generation design flaw on the 6-speed tranny I priced various preventative maintenance Camry parts and threw caution to the wind. Dealer wanted over $1000 for the extended warranty so I purchased the warranty from a out of state Toyota dealer. Paid $880 (best I could find) using Troy Dietrich from Greenfield Toyota...very nice guy, highly recommended from all the web sites (toyotanation.com, edmunds.com, etc). For those deciding if paying for the warranty is worth the price here are my thoughts....2007 model Camry comes with the tire pressure air monitoring which has the integral valve stems which will have to eventually be replaced when you replace tires in 4-years. Each sensor is excess of $100 and "if" the technician doesn't break the dam thing off during the course of purchasing new tires the stem would have to be replaced simply because 4 years of uv deterioriation would render it dangerous not to consider changing said item. What concerns me the most is this being a new vehicle the tranny will most likely be problem free until the standard 3yr/36k runs out in which case when the tranny acts up we are talking "mongo" types of money being spent just to diagnose. I figure $880 is not a whole lot consdering paying $22.7 to buy the car. BTW, I purchased this Camry LE with V6 and just alloys for $22.6 from Queensboro Toyota in NYC. Best I could do considering I needed a replacement ride rather quickly as my trusted '99 Ford Crown Vic died a horrible death. Because i reside in NYC it is never convenient for car reapirs so with this extended warranty I get a loaner and piece of mind. After 7 years I normally get ride of my rides and replace anyway. I'm not thrilled with the front style of the 2007 Camry and suspect it will take a beating parked in the streets of NYC along with the malls in Long Island but time will tell. I am pretty handy around vehicles and plan on doing my own fluid and oil changes, pad replacements, and normal tuneups. These I can do according to the service manuals but the tranny and electronics requires either specialized tools or a shelf full of cars to diagnose hence another reason for the extended warranty. Finally for those who perform their own oil changes do what I did and get a dozen or so oil filters (toyotapartspeople.com!) and you are good to go. Be prepared to get dirty as these oil filters use just the filtering element and two o-rings. This sucks as I first thought what was wrong with the old cannister oil filters?...Toyota, what the hell were you thinking? Also don't pay the $60 for the wheel locks...Troy provided me with the toyota p/n which I cross referenced at autobarn...why pay $60 when you can pay $20.84 for the same McGard wheel lock set to secure your alloy wheels? Folks, if you live in the city like I do make sure you get wheel locks to guard your alloy wheels. I travel around quite a bit in my profession going to some real ugly places and coming back from a hard day's work to find your ride on milk crates is NOT fun!

I know how to get into the maintenance screen.....and I see the dealers screen......I need the Tech setup screen........there should be a combination of buttons.

I've heard of a blue or red wire that...when disconnected you will enable the lock out feature of the Nav (while driving).......I believe this wire is connected to the motion senor......

Anyone have a clue........

Thanks,

Reset Maintenance Required Alert On 2007 Camry

New Guy On The Lot

Sun, 26 Nov 2006 22:04:18 -0600

Okay here goes.....

Just bought an '07 Camry SE a couple days ago. It's been raining, so I haven't been able to crawl in and around the car to check things out yet. Heck, I even bought the thing without having even driven it!?!?!

So first of all, do they all have 60/40 fold down split rear seats, or just the SE I was reading about on the 'Net? I kinda think that mine doesn't have them.

Are there any performance upgrades available for these things?

Is it being discussed that the tires and/or wheel size is on the "small" side?

I think I read "Toyo" on the sidewall today while scurrying to climb in the car from outa the rain. I've always known Toyo to be a soft compound tire..... are we going to have options for a tire with a longer tire life?

Are folk having luck with low-grade, mid-grade, or the expensive stuff?

I don't quite understand the "aux" for a "mini plug". Does this mean that I can get a "mini plug" at the local Radio Shack that will allow my MP3 ready radio to play my little hard drive I normally listen to while riding my motorcycle?

I'm parking outside..... in a less-than-desirable town. What 'affordable' steps should I take to better secure my vehicle?

Anyway, I've never had anything this powerful. Yeah, so it seems to almost stumble upon take off, but I would imagine after I've put the thousand mile break-in on the car.... that I can just floor it and act like a snot-nosed teenager. The '99 Tacoma I had only got 17-20 mpg and was slooooooow, I'm given to believe that I can expect to get better than that, and the SE ain't slow!

What can you tell me to expect, upgrades worthy of consideration, things to be on the lookout for, tire life, security, gas mileage, etc...... and this message board doesn't seem to be frequented by many people very often.... are there any other message boards for the Camry owner that I can visit??

Thanks in advance.

Seat Belts

07 Camry/audio

Sun, 22 Oct 2006 09:02:19 -0500

is there anyone have same problem with their ASL (Auto Sound Leveling) and 8 speakers 440watts audio?
My ASL doesnt adjust by itself during speed increase and decrease.
8 speakers w/ 440watts doesnt give a lot of base even the base setting at 5 (Max). My Matrix has more base with only 4spkrs.

Telescoping Steering Wheel

Thu, 05 Oct 2006 16:49:22 -0500

When we were shopping for our car my husband was definite about wanting a telescoping wheel. We have one on the '07 Camry we purchased. He says it doesn't telescope out far enough for someone like himself who has long arms and legs. I don't have that problem because I'm a short person.

Does anyone else have this problem with the telescoping wheel on their vehicle?

Hard Armrests

Sun, 01 Oct 2006 23:45:01 -0500

One thing that is somewhat uncomfortable in the '07 Camry is the armrest on the door. It is really hard. The hand grip on the door is also very rough on the underside and feels bad when you use it. Anyone else noticing this?

Quiet Vehicle!

Tue, 26 Sep 2006 23:11:22 -0500

I think I mentioned in another post how impressed my husband and I are with how quiet our 2007 Camry is. Everyone who has ridden in it comments on the quiet too. I want to share something that happened yesterday when we were about to exit the car.

My husband usually has to sit a minute behind the wheel while I pick up my purse on put on my lipstick, or something. This time I was just sitting there waiting for him. After about 30 seconds, I said, "aren't you going to turn off the car?" We both laughed. It really is easy to not even notice that it is running.

Our Retirement Car

Mon, 18 Sep 2006 22:22:34 -0500

My husband and I are recently retired. We needed to purchase a car that was going to last us quite a long time. He did a lot of research and decided we needed to buy a Toyota. I was surprised because just about every car we've ever had was a Ford. His dad was an employee of a Ford Dealership for many years. We've never had a Toyota before.

We looked and test drove all kinds of cars to be sure a Toyota would suit our needs in addition to the need for it to last a long time. We bought our 2007 Camry in May and I just love it! There are of course a few things that we might have preferred to be different but overall, I believe it's going to be the best car we've ever had.

We purchased the LE model but had leather seats and heated lumbar installed for our comfort since we are senior citizens. I have a bit of back trouble so the heated lumbar is just the thing for a lengthy trip.

2007 Camry

Wed, 06 Sep 2006 17:18:03 -0500

For you Camry lovers, read up:

Camry has always been a conservatively-styled car, and that's not changing for 2007. The new design is fresher and younger than the previous generation, with a higher waistline and smaller windows. Bucking the obesity trend, the 2007 Camry is the same length as the previous generation (189.2") and only 1" wider (71.7"), so it should still fit in your garage. Curb weight is about the same as last year, between 3,285 and 3,495 lbs depending on trim level and engine selection. Front and rear fender wells sport a modest muscular bulge. Headlights and taillights have gone horizontal with housings wrapping the respective corners of the car. Overall, Camry's looking good � not quite the youth magnet Toyota's hoping for, but a definite improvement over the fifth generation.
