| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Cruise control and hesitation. i recorded one day the number of times the cruise control jumped down 2 gears on the interstate in florida. 50 times in 1 hour. the tac displays a rpm of 2,300 then it jumps to 3,400 then down shifts again to 5,400 rpm. yes, it is designed to do this. toyota said. my previous camry did not do this. my complaint is, that if toyota disclosed this 'design flaw' to any potential customer, they would not sell any 2007 4 cyl. camrys. the hesitation is very unsafe, yet they say it is operating as 'designed' . a 1-3 second delay is not acceptable. i am sure that the gas tank was not designed to explode on a rear end collisions on a ford pinto, but it did. the ford explorer was not designed to rollover, but it did. the chev. vegas aluminum engine was not designed to fail, but it did. the 'corvair' unsafe at any speed was not designed to be unsafe, but it was. yes, all i hear is that it is 'designed' to do this. i am requesting that due to toyota neglecting to 'disclose' these known issues that they buy this unsafe car back. i am currently in arbitration. we shall see. if this fails, i will seek the lemon law in my state. *jb |
