Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2002 TOYOTA CAMRY, AUTO, 4 CYLS. THE CAR HAS A SURGE LIKE MOVEMENT WHEN I TRY TO PULL OUT OF STOP, REDUCE SPEED THEN REACCELERATE AND PRESS THE GAS PEDAL AFTER TURNING THE CAR AT AN INTERSECTION. WHEN THE CAR ACCELERATES, IT INCREASE SPEED INITIALLY, THEN LOOSE POWER FOR A SECOND, AFTER THAT REGAIN SPEED. THE CAR ALSO ABRUPTLY REDUCES SPEED WHEN CRUISING BETWEEN 40 AND 60 MPH IF I RELEASE THE GAS JUST A LITTLE.
