NHTSA Complaint #10300222 — 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY

THE ENGINE OFTEN HESITATES FOR SEVERAL SECONDS WHEN I STEP ON THE GAS. THIS OFTEN HAPPENS WHEN I AM RAPIDLY ACCELERATING TO ENTER A FREEWAYOR SIMPLY PULLING AWAY FROM A STOP LIGHT. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION AS I NEED THE CAR TO ACCELERATE TO ENTER FAST MOVING TRAFFIC BUT I CANNOT COUNT ON THE ENGINE TO RAPIDLY SPEED UP. AFTER SEVERAL SECONDS OF HESITATION, THE CAR THEN ACCELERATES TOO RAPIDLY. I HAVE HAD AN ISSUE WITH THIS CAR SINCE I HAVE OWNED IT AND HAVE BEEN GIVEN EVERY EXCUSE IN THE WORLD AS TO WHY THE VEHICLE PERFORMS IN THIS MATTER FROM THE COMPUTER HAS TO "LEARN " YOUR DRIVING STYLE TO THAT IS HOW TOYOTA MADE THE VEHICLE. THEY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION AND REBOOTED THE COMPUTER AND STILL THE PROBLEM. I ALSO HAD THE VVTI OIL LINE BREAK AND DUMP OIL AND HAD BEEN DRIVING LIKE THAT FOR OVER 100 MILES-I HAD REPLACED THE REGULAR OIL WITH SYNTHETIC OIL -TOYOTA REPLACED THE LINE AND USED THE EXACT SAME KIND OF PART THAT HAD FAILED WHEN I REQUESTED THEY REPLACE IT WITH THE UPGRADED PART I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS NOT A WARRANTY PART REPLACEMENT FOR THE FAILURE AND IF I WANTED THEM TO PUT THE OTHER PART ON THEY WOULD BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE OF THE NON SPECIFIED PART BEING PUT ON THE CAR, LETS HOPE IT DOES NOT FAIL AGAIN. TWO ISSUES ONE ONGOING ONE NOT FIXED WITH THE UPGRADED PART--SHAME ON TOYOTA!! *TR
