| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: My wife and i purchased a 2007 camry le, 4-cylinder, 5-speed automatic with 7,700 miles from down east toyota in brewer, maine. ever since our test drive we've experienced lack of acceleration (hesitation) from a stop or after slowing down to turn or proceed, shifting problems (constant up and down shifting at certain speeds; car not sure which gear to be in and feels like the car is surging) and unable to use the cruise control due accelerating too quickly due to downshifting and then overshooting the set speed. some of these symptoms are sporadic; you never know if the car is going to move or not when stepping down hard and quickly on the gas pedal. sometimes it "red-lines" before accelerating, other times there is barely any response at all. so far have only driven on bare dry/wet roads. we are not looking forward to driving it on snow and ice. we were told by det after the test drive and toyota corporation that this is normal performance for this vehicle, even though there are tsbs (technical service bulletins) concerning these problems. eg036-07 is the latest ecm update, which was done on 08/14/07 without any noticeable improvements. we would never have purchased this vehicle if we had only researched the car beforehand on the internet. this car is unsafe to drive and toyota and det will be held responsible if an accident occurs due to the aforementioned problems. *tr |
