Consumer Description
I PURCHASED MY TOYOTA 2018 CAMRY SE WITH 4 MILES ON IT. ALMOST IMMEDIATELY I NOTICED THAT THE CAR HAS MAJOR PROBLEMS ACCELERATING. WHILE RESUMING DRIVING ,FROM A STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT AND MERGING ON TO A HIGHWAY, WHEN I PRESS THE GAS PEDAL THE CAR HAS A MAJOR DELAY IN ACCELERATION. IT MAKES A LOUD REVVING NOISE LIKE A SPORTS CAR WHEN I PUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS, AND THE CAR DOES NOT TAKE OFF WHEN PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL . IT IS A MAJOR DELAY .ITS VERY SLOW, AND YOU BARELY MOVE WHILE THE CAR IS MAKING A TREMENDOUS AND EMBARRASSING AMOUNT OF LOUD NOISE. IN ORDER TO TRY AND AVOID BEING HIT BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC, I PRESS THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR, AND AT THIS TIME I DON'T KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN. ITS TOTALLY RANDOM . I COULD TAKE OFF OUT OF SYNC WITH PRESSING THE GAS TOO QUICKLY , OR BARELY MOVE AT ALL. THIS IS HAZARDOUS. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TWICE AT THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP, THAT I PURCHASED MY CAR WITH NO RESOLUTION. THE DEALERSHIP SAID BOTH TIMES, THAT THEY TEST DROVE MY CAR AND SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR. PLEASE DO A RECALL ON THIS CAR FOR OUR OWN SAFETY.
