NHTSA Complaint #10315044 — 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY

PURCHASED A 07 CAMRY FROM DOWN EAST TOYOTA IN MAINE 6-2-07 NOTICED NEXT DAY A DANGEROUS HESITATION PROBLEM WITH CAR, CALLED DET SERVICE DEPT 2-4-07 WITH COMPLAINT I WAS TOLD TO DRIVE FOR A WEEK SO CAR COULD LEARN DRIVING HABITS, SO I DID. PULLED INTO TRAFFIC SEVERAL TIMES THAT WEEK AND FEW TIMES THE CAR WOULD HESITATE AND JUMP FORWARD, ON 6-11-07 CALLED DET SERVICE DEPT AGAIN BECAUSE THAT MORNING TRYING TO PULL OUT OF DRIVEWAY CAR HESITATED JUMPED FORWARD ALMOST HITTING A UPS TRUCK, VERY DANGEROUS!! WHILE TALKING TO SERVICE DEPT THIS TIME I WAS TOLD THAT DRIVING THE CAMRY FOR A WEEK WOULD NOT HELP THE HESITATION PROBLEM BUT NOT TO WORRY BECAUSE LIKE THE 07 V6 CAMRY THEY HAD TO PULL ALL OFF THE LOT FOR TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WHEN AND IF TOYOTA COMES UP WITH A FIX THEY WOULD LET ME KNOW. I TRADED THE CAMRY BACK IN BECAUSE OF THE DANGEROUS HESITATION PROBLEM AND LOST 7000.00 IN TEN DAYS?? WHEN I QUESTIONED KEVIN KELLY THE GENERAL MGR I WAS TOLD BY HIM THAT HE DID HOLD A GUN TO MY HEAD TO BUY THE CAMRY OR TO TRADE IT BACK IN, AND NOTHING I COULD DO ABOUT LOOSING 7000.00 BECAUSE HE CAN DO AS HE WANTS. THE SALESMAN DON SCOTT TOLD US THAT THE SATURDAY HE SOLD US OUR CAMRY HE SOLD THREE AND TWO HAVE COME BACK BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM, TRACY SIMPSON AT PAPER SIGNING TOLD US THAT SHE ALSO HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM. WITH BEING TOLD NO FIX FOR A DANGEOUS PROBLEM LIKE THIS, TRADING A CAR BACK IN 10 DAYS LOSING 7000.00 IS JUST WRONG!!! NOW TO THIS DATE THREE TSB'S OUT FOR THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM THAT BECOMES NORMAL WHEN TSB FAIL TO FIX PROBLEM. IS THIS DANGEROUS HESITATION PROBLEM RELATED TO THE SOCALLED FLOOR MAT TURNED TO GAS PEDAL PROBLEM?? JUST NOT RIGHT FOR DET OR TOYOTA TO KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH THIS??? *TR
