Consumer Description

2002 TOYOTA CAMRY SE V6 - AROUND SEPTEMBER 2009 I BEGAN TO NOTICE SUDDEN SURGES IN ACCELERATION WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 40-45 MPH. WITHOUT CHANGING THE POSITION OF THE GAS PEDAL, THE VEHICLE WOULD SURGE-HESITATE-SURGE SEVERAL TIMES THEN SUDDENLY STOP THE BEHAVIOR. SINCE THEN, I NOTICE IT OCCURS AT LEAST ONCE EVERY 3 OUT OF 4 TIMES I'M DRIVING THE CAR. TO ME, THIS IS NOT RELATED TO ANYTHING ON THE FLOOR OR THE GAS PEDAL ITSELF. IT APPEARS TO COME FROM WITHIN THE ENGINE OR OTHER COMPONENT. NO REPAIRS HAVE BEEN INVESTIGATED OR PERFORMED. I AM CONSIDERING A VISIT TO THE DEALER. *TR
