Toyota Camry transmission problems

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ON FEBRUARY 8, 2008 AND IMMEDIATELY NOTICED AN EXTREME VIBRATION AT LOW OR HIGH SPEEDS. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE LUNGES AND CONSTANTLY VIBRATES AND BOUNCES. THE DEALER IS AWARE OF THE FAILURE, BUT CANNOT DO ANYTHING UNTIL A SERVICE BULLETIN IS ISSUED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 386.

JUST HAD TO COMPLETELY REBUILD THE TRANSMISSION IN MY TOYOTA CAMRY 04. THIS IS RIDICULOUS AND I HAVE HEARD FROM MANY OTHERS THAT THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE SINCE THE 2002 CAMRY. HAVING TO PAY $3000 FOR A SUPPOSEDLY #1 CAR THAT I HAVE NOT EVEN HAD FOR FOUR YEARS IS EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING. THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL IF IT IS THAT COMMON AN OCCURRENCE!

I PURCHASED A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY ON DECEMBER 24, 2006. ON MONDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 2008 I SHIFTED THE CAR INTO REVERSE AND PUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS, THE CAR DIDN'T MOVE. IT REVVED BUT DIDN'T MOVE. I SHIFTED TO DRIVE AND SECOND WITH THE SAME RESULT. I BROUGHT THE CAR IN TO TOYOTA IN HEMPSTEAD, NY ON FEB. 18. THEY FIXED IT BY "REPROGRAMMING THE COMPUTER,: AND RETURNED THE CAR TO ME, SAYING IT WAS FINE. THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN ON SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 23. I ASKED ABOUT GETTING A NEW TRANSMISSION BECAUSE I HAVE READ A LOT OF INFORMATION THAT THIS PARTICULAR TRANSMISSION IS BAD. I WOULD LIKE TOYOTA TO RECALL AND REPLACE ALL OF THESE TRANSMISSIONS. I WOULD HATE TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT OR FOR ANYONE ELSE TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF A TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTION. *TR

2007 CAMRY TRANSMISSION BOLTS, JERKS, SNAP YOUR BODY AND AT 40 MILES AN HOUR WITH FOOT OFF OF GAS PEDAL CONTINUES TO KEEP MOVING AT ALMOST SAME 40 MILE HR SPEED FOR MANY BLOCKS. DANGEROUS BECAUSE BRAKE PEDAL HAS TO BE PUSHED HARDER THAN NORMAL IN ORDER TO STOP CAR FROM MOVING. MANY 2007 CAMRY'S HAVE SIMILAR PROBLEMS IF YOU WILL JUST CHECK INTERNET REPORTS. *TR

ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON DURING A TRIP TO LEXINGTON, KY ON A SATURDAY. I EXPERIENCED A BAD SHIFT ON ONE OCCASION DURING THAT TRIP. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THE FOLLOWING MONDAY. WAS TOLD THAT MY CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS GOING BAD. COST TO REPAIR WAS APPROX $800. ELECTED NOT TO REPAIR CAR AT THAT TIME. I HAVE APPROX 127000 MILES ON CAR AND JUST PAID IT OFF LAST DECEMBER. WITHIN TWO WEEKS OF THIS VISIT TO THE DEALER, THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO JERK WHEN SHIFTING BETWEEN 25 AND 40 MPH. I PARKED CAR AND BEGAN TO DRIVE MY OLDER VEHICLE UNTIL I COULD GET IT BACK INTO DEALER. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER ON FEB 14 AND WAS TOLD THAT MY TRANSMISSION NEEDED REPLACED. I HAD ALL OF COMPLETED TRANSMISSION SERVICES DURING THE LIFE OF THE CAR. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM AS THE TRANSMISSION HESITATED DURING DRIVING AND COULD HAVE RESULTED IN ME BEING REAR-ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. I AM CONCERNED WITH THE QUALITY OF TOYOTA VEHICLES AS I HAVE READ ABOUT THEIR ENGINE SLUDGE PROBLEMS AND OTHER PEOPLE WITH TRANSMISSION FAILURES. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE HESITATED AND THE RPMS DECREASED WHEN SHIFTING GEARS. IN ADDITION, THE FAILURE WOULD OCCUR AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE DEALER STATED THAT AN ELECTRONIC PROGRAMMING ISSUE CAUSED THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THEY UPDATED THE PROGRAMMING; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO OCCUR. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. IN ADDITION, THE COMPUTER MAY NEED TO BE REPLACED. AS OF FEBRUARY 1, 2008, THE DEALER HAD NOT REPAIRED THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 13,000. THE VIN AND ENGINE SIZE WERE UNAVAILABLE.
