Toyota Recalling '07 Camry for 6-speed trannie issues

[NFS4]

The newest edition of the Toyota Camry is being recalled for a problem with the transmission. The problem, Toyota says, involved only a half-percent of Camrys built thus far for the 2007 model year. The new six-speed automatic transmission could lose second and sixth gear during operation. Toyota told Reuters the vehicle still will operate even if the gears are lost, and that the problem usually happens within the first 500 miles of use.

ZOMG A TOYOTA RECALLL :roll:

2nd and 6th gear? That is kinda odd.

 

[Nebor]

Not a big deal.

I'd call for a boycott of American cars if GM pulled a stunt like this though.

 

[Aimster]

Less than half a percent.

No big deal.

 

[ballmode]

not like this car won't sell worldwide regardless

I bet those camrys were built in America.

o look, a first year model that has problems.

SURPRISE!

did you know my car, a 96 camaro, has NO recall issues by GM? now does that mean that my make/model car doesn't have any problems that warrents a recall, or GM being lazy and cheap in issuing one?

prolly the fact that your Camaro was nothing fancy for GM, had gm parts bin everything, and the fact that it was a non first year model?

am i onto something?

Never buy first model year cars. Or at least, don't buy them new.

So then I guess people should stop considering every "import" built in America an import?

Its a Japanese company, but its not an import. Japanese parts and plans dont make it an import. And yes it was the JAPANESE PARTS AND PLANS THAT FAILED.

That's the problem with trannies...can never make a decision when you need them to.
