auto downshifting while braking

[Jstancampiano]

Sorry about using wrong gen #. I didn't think it would cause such a reaction.
Tried the 4th to 5th and that puts me back into od, but is still not a great solution as it doesn't prevent the shift in the first place.

Oh well, sorry for asking a "dumb" question.

Wasnt a dumb question, you just have some asshole answering...thats the problem. I had the same issue with an 06 Murano the Camry replaced. The damn CVT would downshift whenever going down hill. This is fine if your going down steep grades and hauling a trailer but pretty much useless for a passenger car. All I did was switch the shifter to 6 manual and it would shift back to 6th. In your case I think your stuck with a downshifting car. Being a noob Im not surprised you used the Gen 7 symbol...BFD get over it people. Atleast now you know your car's a Gen 6 and your not expected to use it again. Welcome to TN by the way.

Well said eddiefromcali! Btw, the dealer does not tell you when you buy the camry that it is a "Gen 6" :-) and I do not expect people to study all manuals and forums before they ask a question of interest ..and some of the answers in these forums are simply not in the context of a friendly forum for people who like their cars and want to be in touch with peers. Just disregard the "funny" comments and look for the really helpful answers!
