NHTSA Complaint #10305703 — 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY

WE BOUGHT A 2007 CAMRY FROM GRESHAM TOYOTA IN JUNE 2006. WE IMMEDIATELY HAD THROTTLE PROBLEMS. PROBLEMS INCLUDED: 1. STEPPING ON THE GAS PEDAL AND HAVING THE ENGINE REV UP TO HIGH RPM'S BUT NOT GOING ANYWHERE. THIS CONDITION HAS HAPPENED ON 2-3 OCCASIONS PER WEEK. THIS CONDITION WOULD HAPPEN ACROSS A VAST ARRAY OF CONDITIONS. YOU WOULD START TO MERGE INTO HIGHWAY TRAFFIC AND IT SEEMED THE TRANSMISSION WOULD DISENGAGE. NEARLY CAUSING MANY ACCIDENTS(NEAR MISSES).AT OTHER TIMES YOU WOULD PULL AWAY FROM STOP SIGN AND AS YOU ENTERED THE INTERSECTION THE ENGINE WOULD REV AT HIGH RPM'S AND THE CAR WOULD GO NO WHERE. LEAVING YOU SITTING IN THE INTERSECTION WITH TRAFFIC BEARING DOWN ON YOU.. UNABLE TO DO ANYTHING. NO RESPONSE FROM THE CAR! 2. OTHER TIMES YOU WOULD BE DRIVING ALONG AT 30-40-50 MPH AND THE CAR WOULD WILDLY ACCELERATE OUT OF CONTROL FOR NO REASON. AGAIN MANY HARROWING LIFE THREATENING EVENTS SINCE WE HAVE OWNED THE CAR. UPON REPORTING THESE SAFETY ISSUES TO OUR LOCAL GRESHAM TOYOTA THEY DENIED THEIR WAS A PROBLEM. AFTER NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS TO THE ASSISTANT SERVICE DEPT MANAGER HE ADMITTED TOYOTA HAD A SOFTWARE PROBLEM WITH THEIR ELECTRONIC SYSTEM AND WERE WORKING ON FIXING IT. TO DATE TOYOTA HAS DONE NOTHING TO FIX OUR CAR. IT IS SCARY TO EVEN DRIVE TO THE STORE. YOU ARE N EVER SURE WHEN THE NEXT LIFE THREATENING EVENT WILL RANDOMLY OCCUR. TOYOTA HAS PUT ALL CUSTOMERS IN HARMS WAY AND NEEDS TO BE PUNISHED SEVERELY FOR THEIR CARELESS DISREGARD FOR HUMAN LIFE. CONTINUES TO THIS DAY! *TR
