NHTSA Complaint #10303766 — 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY

2007 CAMRY XLE. PROBLEMS WITH HESITATION WHEN ACCELERATING. THE DEALERSHIP JUST BLEW ME OFF WHEN I EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM. ACTED AS IF THIS WAS NEVER A PROBLEM WITH CAMRYS. ALSO HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH STEERING COLUMN'S RADIO CONTROLS - WHEN PRESSING THE APPROPRIATE BUTTONS, NOTHING WOULD HAPPEN OR, WHEN SEEKING STATIONS THAT WERE PROGRAMMED IN, THE DOWN OR UP BUTTONS WOULD JUMP TO OTHER STATIONS NOT PROGRAMMED. SINCE THIS PROBLEM IS ERRATIC, NOTHING WAS DONE BY DEALER. PROBLEMS WITH THE OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE GAUGE - AT TIMES, IT WOULD TAKE 15-20 MINUTES BEFORE THE TEMPERATURE WOULD CHANGE TO THE CORRECT ONE. EXAMPLE: IT READ 77 DEGREES WHEN IT WAS ACTUALLY IN THE MID-90S. DEALERSHIP DID REPAIR THIS LAST SUMMER BUT NOW, IT IS READING SEVEN+ DEGREES OFF THE ACTUAL OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE. THE FINAL PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR IS THAT THE PAINT IS CHIPPING OFF OF THE FRAME AREA BELOW THE DOORS OF THE CAR. THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED WITH ANY PREVIOUS CAR I HAVE OWNED. DEALER ATTRIBUTED IT TO THE FACT THAT THIS CAR IS THE SPORT VERSION SO IT RIDES LOWER. FIRST TOYOTA I HAVE OWNED AND IT LOOKS LIKE IT MAY BE MY LAST. *TR
