| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I purchased the toyota camry 2007 le automatic in may 07 from lakeforest toyota in gaithersburg md. it has only 2,980 miles on it. the vehicle experiences loss of power when turning in intersections. this occurs mainly on right turns follows stops at stop signs and traffic signals. when starting into a turn, the car occasionally fails to respond to the accelerator. you can press the pedal to the floor and the car may not respond or only barely respond. this leaves the vehicle stuck in the intersection with approaching traffic. performance is inconsistent with this problem occurring sometimes and not other. it has happened to me several time. i consider this a very serious safety problem that is likely to cause accidents and fatalities. frankly, i'm afraid to drive the car. i had one experience where another vehicle has to slam on their brakes and stopped within a few feet of my car when camry failed to respond to the accelerator. i won't make a turn unless i have two to three time as much open road as i did in my prior vehicles. toyota is aware of the problem. the problem reported on wcnc in lincoln county north carolina on sept 13, 2007. *jb |
