Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: About 2 months ago, i purchased a brand new 2005 toyota camry se v6. i have already taken it back to the dealer because of transmission issues. i push on the accelerator and nothing happens...then seconds later (after i've taken my foot off the gas), the engine revs up to 5000+ rpm and stays there for a few seconds. i fear for my safety! the dealer said they had tons of complaints, said this behavior was completely normal, but had two "upgrades" for the car's computer system. they told me the upgrades would fix the problem...and it did - for a week. for that week, my brand-new camry was the greatest! after a week, i noticed it seemed to be slipping back into it's bad habits. now, a month later, i am taking it back again. it is just as bad as when i took it in the first time. i have been close to getting into at least 3 accidents because of this issue. it is completely unsafe, toyota knows there is an issue (they have "fixes"), and yet they keep selling their cars. i bought a new car so i wouldn't have these problems! i spent a lot of money, and i feel like i got a lemon. this car needs to be recalled. *nm
