| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: My wife and i purchased a 2005 toyota camry xle v6 5sp auto in nov 2004. shortly after taking delivery, we started to notice hesitation in the transmission while trying to accelerate from a stop and after slowing down in traffic. we also felt a delay when attempting to go into passing gear. this delay would last up to a couple of seconds. after the delay was felt, the car would accelerate rapidly. this would cause a jolt to the passengers and driver. it seems as though the transmission is not getting the power demand from the accelerator equipment quickly enough. we have taken it to the dealer twice. the problem seems to be getting worse. the last statement from the service manager was " i drove the car and clearly understand your complaint concerning the hesitation. that is the nature of this new technology. we cannot find anything wrong with the vehicle" the service manager denied they had any other complaints from anyone concerning this problem. that's when i started searching the web. after collecting complaints from several web sites such as this, i confronted the service manager. he stated he was unaware of the complaints and gave me the 1-800-# for toyota. we have contacted toyota and got a case #. they claim there are two tsb's associated with the problem. my question is "why doesn't the dealer already have the tsb's" my wife is the primary driver and has complained of two near misses caused from this problem. we will give toyota this opportunity to correct the problem,but i am not getting a warm and fuzzy feeling concerning a fix. next step is to get rid of the dangerous vehicle. *nm |
