Ok, now for the record I love my '07 I4 Camry LE automatic, except for a few minor annoyances. Most of which being it's lack of response, and overall sluggishness it seems to experience. Sometimes it'll take off like a bat out of hell, other times when I mash the gas to make a quick move, it decides it doesn't want to do what I ask, and takes off slowly, then has a sudden "oh you wanna go fast?!" moment then it'll take off. Not jerky, but a quicker acceleration than it originally started with. Also, in the morning when I leave home, it takes off slowly, and comes what I feel is dangerously close to jerking while accelerating. I can feel it trying, without actually shaking the car. Is this a DBW problem, ECM or both? I had an '05 Jetta (old style) before this car, which apparently has a DBW setup, yet I had no problems with it. In fact, i didn't realize it had a DBW setup in it until I started reading here about the Camry's DBW
Although i guess the fact I couldn't find the throttle arm under the hood one day should've said something too..
I see there's a new TSB out for the I4 '07s, and I may give the dealership a call and see how many arms I need to twist to get my car's ECM reflashed.. Which if they give me any grief, I'm in pretty good with their General Manager, so I can probably get him to light a fire under someone's rear-end. The car is great otherwise, it's just those issues that drive me nuts sometimes.
