Toyota Finds Problem In Camrys
Detroit Free Press - April 27, 2006

In a small number of vehicles, the transmissions could skip gears. Toyota anticipates the problem could affect 160 of the 32,000 Camrys sold in March and April, Toyota spokeswoman Allison Takahasi said.

Toyota engineers have pinpointed the problem so it doesn't affect future Camrys, she said. "They're aware of this and fixed it on the transmissions being produced now," Takahasi said.

Toyota Motor Co. has found what it calls a minor problem with the transmissions in early models of the 2007 Camry.

So far, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has received one complaint about the issue. The federal agency has not started an investigation or asked for a recall.

The Camry, made in Georgetown, Ky., is the best-selling car in the United States. The vehicle was redesigned for the 2007 model year.

Camry buyers who think their vehicle might be affected should contact their dealer or call Toyota customer service at 800-331-4331.

those are still pretty good numbers. When you see Ford or GM with a problem like this it's usually in the thousands. Maybe it's just proof of the complete dedication to QA Toyota has that they can catch even a small problem as resolve it quickly.

On a side note, the newly redesigned Camry is looking better and better. Won't be long before these cars are sleek and sexy instead of plain and simple.

The NASCAR one can gargle my salty nut-sack....however, I like the design of the new ones. I took one for a test-drive a few years ago and it was pretty nice.

Kinda like driving a waterbed though.

hahaha... driving a waterbed.

those new camrys are pretty hot... I saw one with rims and the factory aero kit the other day... It was nice.

I have seen a few too, I love it in black. The new camry is really close to what the Lexus looks like and you might be able to get away with just swapping the badges and 15,000 extra in your pocket.
