| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: My wife and i purchased a 2007 camry le, 4-cylinder, 5-speed from toyota of orange in orange california. 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. reported it to the dealer 3 times, had the software updated without noticeable improvements. eg036-07 is the latest ecm update,. we would never have purchased this vehicle if we had only researched the car beforehand on the internet. me and my wife could never get used to the gas pedal because the car responded differently every time. one day my wife came from work and attempted to park the car into a spot on the parking structure,she pressed the gas pedal and the car accelerated really fast driving through the wall almost into the community pool. i have stopped making payments on the car since the car is sitting in the garage and very upset with toyota since i reported the problem to the dealer 3 times and called toyota corp on the phone and received no help. *jb |
