#2091 of 5279 Chair squeak and VSC on Gen 5 Camry by davidl Feb 23, 2004 (5:33 pm)
Hi everyone.   I am the proud owner of an '04 V6 SE.   Unfortunately, my chair squeaks. Whenever I go over bumps, or brake or gas too hard, I can hear it. Part of the squeak is the leather rubbing up against the plastic base, but some of the sound I'm pretty sure if coming from inside the seat.   I have leather seats(not the sport leather), and the heated seats option as well. Is the chair itself broken? Or is this a design flaw?   My second question is on the VSC. I didn't add this as an option and was wondering if this is just code for the computer chip and can it be added now and if so...how much are they going to overcharge me.   Thanks.

This is a reply to above message about a Camry with a Hesitation/Vibration when starting out at about 20-25 mph. The first visit, the dealer said it was normal for the torque converter.   I just returned from my Toyota dealer a few minutes ago. They are going to replace my transmission with a new one. Not sure whether to be happy or not. The car is only three weeks old. I feel like I am getting ripped. I bought a "NEW" car, now they are screwing around with the transmission. Not a real good feeling. I have pitched a fit, but will probably not get anywhere. Ron

parksr,        I understand your situation. This problem sounds like what was happening in the 03 Accords. If I were in your situation I would speak to the GM of the dealership and have them swap cars, they can easily re-sell that vehicle as a demo or use it as a service car/loaner, which I am sure is done all over. For a vehicle, especially Toyota's to have a defective tranny in less than three weeks is rare, mostly Honda had issues in the past. I would definitely recommend you making calls, follow-up's and be on their backs. No vehicle is perfect, but a major component as a tranny should last the life of the vehicle if maintained.

You can find the Camry service bulletins at www.nhtsa.org. Check their service bulletin database. Unfortunately, they just list titles and not details.

#2097 of 5279 2003 Camry XLE 4 cyl. transmission sucks by nickbaily Feb 27, 2004 (1:07 pm)
Problems: when shifting from park to drive, there is a 1-3 second hesitation, then the transmission "clunks" into gear.   secondly, when driving downhill, if I remove foot from accelerator, transmission downshifts with a hard jerk, then whines and vibrates. Dealer in Hollywood admits problems, states that the torque converter is at fault, and that Toyota has NO solution. Please help.
#2098 of 5279 nickbaily... by andrelaplume Feb 27, 2004 (7:23 pm)
simple solution...tell them they have 2 more attempts to get it fixed then you will be seeking to return the car under the lemon law.
#2099 of 5279 Bungee solution by docbuckeye Feb 29, 2004 (3:15 pm)
Anyone notice the 2003 Camry trunk interior is so well trimmed and padded that there is no exposed metal or hole to hook a bungee cord onto to hold the trunk lid down if you're hauling something big? Here's a solution...   The padding on the interior of the trunk lid is held in place with small black plastic rivets. They can be easily removed with a phillips screw driver (twist the inner circle while holding the outside edge). Remove one on each side. In it's place, screw in a 5/16" eye bolt, about 1-3 inches in length. The hole is the perfect size to grab the bolt threads, no additional nuts needed. Use an eye BOLT, not screw eye.   Not sure just how much force the bolts can withstand, but certainly enough to hold the lid down. Too bad Toyota didn't incorporate something initially.
#2100 of 5279 How about Canoe solution by cam2003 Mar 01, 2004 (1:03 pm)
There is nothing at front Camry to tie down the canoe. Any suggestion ?
