Consumer Description

MY 2005 4-CYLINDER TOYOTA CAMRY HAS DELAYED ACCELERATOR AND ROUGH SHIFTING OF TRANSMISSION. BY DELAYED ACCELERATOR I MEAN THAT YOU HAVE TO PRESS ACCELERATOR PEDAL ABOUT 1/4" TO 1/2" BEFORE ENGINE ENGAGES. THIS HAS BEEN DANGEROUS IN PARKING LOTS WHERE SLOW DRIVING MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO KEEP ENGINE AT SAFE SPEED. THE TRANSMISSION ALSO SHIFTS ROUGHLY AND DOWNSHIFTS HARD WHEN DECELERATING DOWN A HILL. I CONTACTED DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASE MY VEHICLE AND SAY THAT IS THE WAY IT IS SINCE IT IS COMPUTERIZED. SINCE THERE ARE NO CABLES TO ADJUST, I AM OUT OF LUCK. I ALSO CONTACTED 800 NUMBER FOR TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY WERE NO HELP. THEY DID MENTION THAT THERE WAS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN FOR SAME PROBLEM ON THE CAMRY V-6. IT SEEMS THAT THE 4-CYLINDER HAS SAME PROBLEM BUT NOT ENOUGH COMPLAINTS TO WARRANT A TECHNICAL BULLETIN.
