range Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 (edited) Toyota can't seem to build a decent transmission. Owners are reporting problems with the 2007 Camry transmission (among other "woes" with the 2007 Camry) 2007 Camry Transmission "Spiking" Woes This is nothing new for Toyota, a variation of this problem has been going on for years: Erratic 2006 Toyota Avalon Transmission Problems in 2004 Edited July 11, 2006 by range Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spyderman Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Its difficult to believe Toyota has let this issue drag on for so long. I first heard about this years ago from a neighbor experiencing the problem on an ES. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was not even aware that Toyota Dealerships had service departments. I am sure that most Toyota owners would be shocked to find out that their dealerships have a service department. I am sure that Consumer reports will even dedicate a good review to this revelation (He He He) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANTAUS Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 I've been following this story for the past 2 years, seems the transmission coupled with the V6 is the main issue. I had a neighbor who's on his 3rd and is thinking of just replacing the vehicle altogether...luckily the high resale value will allow him to switch to something else with less difficulty. He was shocked as well. My main concern has been that Aisin also produces the 6A on some Fords such as the 500/FS. Now in THAT version, there doesn't seem to be a common failure, or anything for that matter being reported on it...at least, not in the extreme case as Toyota owners have...I mean...For a Toyota owner to complain enough where it's in the media, it's definately something MAJOR since most are bathed in biased denial to justify their purchase that has gone bad. As I hear it, supposedly the transmission is built to tolerate a specific output level given by the engine. As in, it's built specifically for a specific power level and it's that tight tolerance (or lack of room for error) which is causing the issue. Possibly lower the HP and shiftpoints might "help".

range Posted July 13, 2006 Author Share Posted July 13, 2006 For 2007, Toyota's transmission problems have spread to the 4 cylinder Camrys as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardJensen Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 Problem seems to be software. Just like on the Prius. Maybe Toyota needs to dangle some carrots in front of programmers at Nintendo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
