NHTSA Complaint #10172644 — 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY

I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MY 2007 CAMRY ACCELERATING FROM A STOPPED OR "LOW SPEED" POSITION. I ALSO HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE AIR CONDITIONER CONDENSER REPLACED DUE TO A ROCK COMING THROUGH THE GRILL OF THE CAR AND "PUNCTURING THE CONDENSER. I TOOK THE CAR TO A TOYOTA DEALER IN SLIDELL, LA AS I WAS OUT OF TOWN. THE DEALER REPLACED THE CONDENSER FOR $625.00 AT MY EXPENSE. I WAS TOLD THERE WERE NO "SCREENS" OR ANY TYPE OF MATERIALS THAT COULD KEEP THIS FROM OCCURRING AGAIN. THERE IS HOWEVER A TSB FOR THE SAME THING ON THE 2007 COROLLA. I FEEL THAT TOYOTA HAS A FLAW IN THE GRILL OF THE 2007 CAMRY AND IT SHOULD BE REMEDIED. ON THE ISSUE OF ACCELERATION, I LIVE IN A CONGESTED TRAFFIC AREA IN FL AND DO NOT FEEL THAT I CAN SAFELY "PULL OUT" INTO TRAFFIC UNLESS I HAVE A GREAT DEAL OF CLEARANCE. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY TOYOTA. I AM AN AVID FAN OF TOYOTA PRODUCTS. THIS IS MY 3RD CAMRY AND I OWNED A SCION TC AS WELL SO THIS IS NOT ABOUT DOWNING A TOYOTA PRODUCT. I BELIEVE IN TOYOTA. I JUST THINK NOW IS THE TIME TO RECOGNIZE A PROBLEM AND REMEDY THAT FOR THE CONSUMER. I WOULD HATE FOR SOMEONE TO GET KILLED BEFORE THEY ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. *NM
