Consumer Description

THE VEHICLE STALLS WHEN GAS IS APPLIED OR IT JERKS WHEN GOING FROM LOW SPEEDS TO HIGH SPEEDS, AFTER GAS IS APPLIED. THE VEHICLE ALSO HESITATES TO ACCELERATE AFTER FULL STOPS. I WENT TO A TOYOTA CAMRY DEALER, SANSONE TOYOTA LOCATED AT 90-100 ROUTE 1 NORTH IN AVENEL, NJ 07001. THEY FOUND THAT THE CAR IS SHIFTING ABNORMALLY AND SO THEY UPDATED CALIBRATION SOFTWARE IN THE VEHICLE. AFTER SERVICE AT SANSONE TOYOTA, THE CAR STILL JERKS WHEN SWITCHING FROM LOW SPEEDS (LIKE 20 MPH) TO HIGHER SPEEDS (LIKE 60 MPH). SOMETIMES IT JERKS VERY VIOLENTLY AND IT ALWAYS HESITATES WHEN GAS IS APPLIED, AFTER FULL STOPS (LIKE AT A STOP SIGN OR A RED LIGHT). IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE SOMETIMES ACCELERATES, A LITTLE, WHEN I APPLY BREAKS WITH THE INTEND TO SLOW DOWN. A COUPLE MECHANICS I WENT TO SAY THAT THE VEHICLE MAY NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION, BUT I HAVE READ COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE THAT A LOT OF TOYOTA VEHICLES MAY HAVE ACCELERATION PROBLEMS. SOME 2004 TOYOTA CAMRY SOLARA VEHICLES HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR SPEED CONTROL PROBLEMS. I DON'T WAN TO INVEST INTO A TRANSMISSION IF THE CAR WILL HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I NEED TO KNOW IF MY 2004 TOYOTA SOLARA SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THE ORIGINAL RECALL.
