The transmission was replaced by an authorized dealership 3 years ago and it only had 42,000 miles. The automatic transmission did not shift properly and would jerk suddenly as it shifted in lower gears. Recently I was hearing noise from the front driver's side where the transmission is located. Brought it to the Toyota dealership that originally replaced the transmission. They said that it was the water pump and that nothing was wrong with the transmission. The diagnosis didn't seem right to me and suspected maybe the dealer didn't want to admit that the transmission they had replaced was having problems again. I took it to another Toyota dealership for a second opinion. They told me the same thing. Keep in mind that the car has never leaked fluid and has never overheated which are symptoms of water pump problems. I decided to have them change the water pump since two separate Toyota dealerships were telling me this was the problem and would take care of the noise. Drove the car home and the grinding noise was still there. I decided to give it some time and maybe the noise would go away eventually. Two days after getting the car worked on the noise got louder. I decided to take the car back to have the dealer check it again. On my way there, the transmission started to slip gears. It got a point where the car could barely drive 20 miles/hr. My transmission went completely out at a busy intersection. The transmission is broken. What really frustrates me is that I have only put 23,000 miles on the second transmission and now it is going to need a 3rd transmission. My safety has been at risk and the car never gave me a check engine warning. Keep in mind I took my Camry to 2 separate Toyota dealerships and they gave me the run around with a diagnosis of a part that was no where near where I was hearing the noise was coming from. Toyota needs to recall their 6 speed trans.

After exiting the highway onto a residential street, my car suddenly stopped moving in the middle of the street while the engine was still running. I received no warning lights indicating that there was anything wrong with the car! after the incident, I attempted to check the transmission fluid. However, there is no dipstick nor could I locate any information in the owner's manual. I had the car towed to a local mechanic because I was unable to get an appointment with a Toyota dealership. The mechanic explained that the transmission fluid in a 2007 Camry could only be checked by a mechanic. The results of his check were that there was no fluid in the transmission nor did he find any leaks. He put fluids in the car, but it continued to slip when he test drove it. I then had the car towed to the closet Toyota dealership, lustine Toyota. Lustine also found no leaks in the transmission and could not understand why there were no fluids when it was originally checked by the mechanic. Lustine informed me that I needed a new transmission. I contacted darcars 355 Toyota who services my car for the recommended 5000 mile checks. I had an extended warranty with 355 that expired in may 2013. My car was last serviced by 355 in March 2013. There are approximately 3000 miles remaining before my next service is due. Unfortunately, there is no proof that 355 did anything wrong, so they would not take any responsibility. 355 was not even willing to admit that there could have been human error in servicing my car. I contacted Toyota's corporate office. After 4 days of my case sitting on the desk of a supervisor, I was extended a good will offer of $1500 towards my next new or $1000 towards my next used Toyota purchase, but no assistance in the replacement of my transmission! my car remains in the shop. However, once the transmission is removed, lustine will check for possible defects.

This is the 2nd tranmission that has been replaced in my 2012 Hyundai genesis coup due to a manufacturing defect. The first one was grinding going into 5th gear. The second one is grinding going into 2nd and 3rd gear and leaking fluid from the main seals. The car only has 3200 miles on it purchaced April 27, 2012.

My 2004 Toyota Camry began leaking transmission fluid from the rear part of the transmission where the two halves of the housing are bolted together. Two mechanics, including one whose expertise is in transmission repair, inspected the transmission and said that the transmission's seal apparently failed. The vehicle has 45,000 miles on it, and stays indoors except for a 12-mile round-trip commute between my home and the local indoor public parking garage. Both estimates for repair were at least $1,500 because the design of the Camry does not allow easy access to the transmission, requiring the mechanic to drop the entire frame to access the transmission. The fluid leak is small, likely no more than a half milliliter every 10 days, so the repair has not been done. Both mechanics stated that it is very unusual for a vehicle like this to begin leaking from between the halves of the housing and, based on there being no other physicial damage or wear to the area, it was their opinions that this is a manufacturer's defect. The transmission fluid color is still tinged with pink and diffuses well on blotter paper, and the mechanical function of the transmission appears fine.
