Quotes:
"Since my transmission replacement and re-re-flash on my Camry I no longer have the cold flare, but do have intermittent 2nd-3rd and 3rd-4th and 4th-5th flares of varying degrees after the vehicle is fully warmed up. Some upwards of 500 RPM.
Although the severe cold flare is gone I consider this worse as it's unpredictable, alarming when it does occur, and next to impossible to reproduce at the dealer. I do have videos though."
"Yes, I totally agree with you that this could be worst than before. You are right on with what you're experiencing - I have the same issue on my end. It doesn't flare on the cold start but will do so at random during normal driving and can sometimes cause some very harsh shifts. My flares are usually in the 200rpm range so they're not as high as before. Nonetheless, any flaring at all in a 45K car is not acceptable to me."
"Mines' not fixed from the flash....pursuing buyback."

Is that enough, Koz?? I can go on, but you guys get the idea....
Just visit CLUBLEXUS.COM (
http://www.clublexus.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=180)...next, count how many threads on the 1st page are about the transmission and you will get an idea of the problem. I am shock that Koz did not check this out since he's on clublexus too.
I would imagine that he would have researched this problem before giving an opinion on the topic...maybe i am too anal because i usually post things that i can backup readily with FACTS.
