NHTSA Complaint #10307269 — 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY

I HAVE A 2007 CAMRY 4CYLDR AUTOMATIC, THAT HAS PROBLEMS ACCELERATING. THIS USUALLY HAPPENS AT LEAST ONCE A DAY. FOR EXAMPLE IF I TAKE OFF FROM A RED LIGHT OR A STOP, THE CAR WILL HESITATE LIKE IT IS STALLING AND THEN WILL PROCEED TO TAKE OFF. THIS IS AN INCONSISTENT PROBLEM THAT WHEN I COMPLAINED AT THE DEALERSHIP THEY COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. THE OTHER EXAMPLE IS THAT THE CAR EXHIBITS IS THAT WHEN YOU TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL THE CAR WILL SLOW DOWN BUT AS YOU RE-APPLY YOUR FOOT THE CAR WILL HESITATE OR STALL UNTIL YOU REMOVE YOUR FOOT AND RE-APPLY IT. I HAVE 60000 MILES ON MY CAR AND IT HAS HAD ALL THE TIMELY SERVICES DONE TO IT. IT HAS BEEN A GREAT CAR UP UNTIL ABOUT A YEAR AGO WHEN THE PROBLEM BEGAN. ROUGHLY 45000 MILES AGO. I FEAR THAT THIS MAY RESULT IN AN INABILITY TO DRIVE DEFENSIVELY AND RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. NEITHER MY WIFE NOR I ARE AGGRESSIVE DRIVERS, AND WE DON'T FEEL THAT THIS IS AS A RESULT OF HARSH DRIVING. I DID TAKE THE CAR INTO THE DEALER TO FIND OUT IF IT WAS PART OF THE GAS PEDAL RECALL THAT IS GOING ON AND THEY SAID THAT IT WAS NOT. I HOPE THAT TOYOTA WILL MAKE A TIMELY DECISION ON THIS AS I HAD HOPED TO PURCHASE ANOTHER TOYOTA IN THE FUTURE. *TW
