I WAS DRIVING FOR WORK WITH MY TOYOTA CAMRY 2007. WHILE ACCELERATING TO GET ON THE HIGHWAY, AROUND THE END OF THE RAMP, MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED WITH NO CONTROLS WORKING FROM THE DRIVER'S SEAT EITHER FOR THE STEERING WHEEL OR THE BRAKE. IN A MATTER OF A FEW SECONDS, THE VEHICLE WENT A FEW TIMES IN A ZIG-ZAG MANNER AND SUBSEQUENTLY HIT A SEMI-TRAILER WHICH WAS SOUTHBOUND ON THE HIGHWAY. MY CAR WAS COMPLETELY SMASHED IN THE FRONT AND TOTALED LATER. THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED AFTER MY CAR WENT THROUGH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL REPLACEMENT AS PER RECOMMENDATION OF THE TOYOTA RECALL PROCEDURE. I COULD HAVE BEEN EASILY KILLED IN THIS ACCIDENT. I GOT A TRAFFIC TICKET FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE AFTER HAVING A TICKET-FREE DRIVING RECORD FOR THE PAST 11+ YEARS. I AM PLEADING 'NOT GUILTY' FOR THIS TICKET BECAUSE THE DEFECTIVE TOYOTA CAR WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR...

I HAVE TOYOTA CAMRY 2007. I HAD EXPERIENCED THE RPM SHOOTING UP IN LOW ACCELERATION. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO DEALER FOR REPAIR IN EARLY FEB 2010, BUT THE DEALER DETECTED NO PROBLEM. HOWEVER, AS THE PROBLEM PERSISTED AND IT HAPPENED FREQUENTLY, SO I TOOK THE VIDEO OF SPEEDOMETER AND TACHOMETER, AND WENT BACK TO DEALER WITH THE VIDEO. MECHANICS AT THE DEALER TRIED TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM WITH COMPUTER HOOKED TO MY CAR, AND I DROVE THE CAR WITH THEM. BUT AGAIN, THE PROBLEM COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. DEALER ADVISED ME THAT THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH SUDDEN ACCELERATION OF TOYOTA VEHICLES, AND ASKED ME TO COME BACK IF THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. TOYOTA DID NOT PERFORM ANY REPAIR AT THAT TIME. HOWEVER, AFTER THIS VISIT TO THE DEALER, I HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM AS FREQUENTLY. I MAY HAVE NOTICED IT FEW TIMES IN THE PAST MONTH...

MY CAR IS A 2007 CAMRY XLEV6, AND WAS NOT LISTED AS PART OF THE TOYOTA RECALL (IT HAS LOCKING MATS). PULLED INTO DRIVEWAY AT MY HOME, WITH FOOT ON BRAKES AS I TOUCHED AUTO GARAGE DOOR OPENER ON VISOR. CAR GEAR WAS IN D. AS I REMOVED FOOT FROM BRAKE TO GAS PEDAL TO PULL INTO GARAGE, AND LIGHTLY PLACED FOOT ON ACCELERATOR, INSTANTANEOUSLY ENGINE REVVED, PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR, TACH ZOOMED AND AUTO JETTED INTO GARAGE. I IMMEDIATELY HIT BRAKES WITH BOTH FEET, ATTEMPTING TO DISENGAGE TRANSMISSION FROM D AND PUT INTO N. GEAR SHIFT ERRATICALLY PLUNGED INTO R AND CAR BEGAN TO GO BACKWARDS WITH ENGINE THROTTLE WIDE OPEN. AGAIN, WITH TIRES SQUEALING, SMOKING & LAYING RUBBER, I TRIED TO JAM GEARSHIFT TO N OR P, AND CAR JETTISONED FORWARD HITTING GARAGE WALL AT FULL FORCE. WITH MILLISECOND RECOVERY, I HELD ONTO GEARSHIFT ' ALL THE TIME...

I HAVE A 2007 JAPANESE-MADE CAMRY. I BOUGHT AT A PREMIUM (WELL ABOVE INVOICE AND ABOVE MSRP BECAUSE SERVCO HAWAII DOES NOT GIVE DISCOUNTS) THINKING I WAS PAYING FOR A RELIABLE AND WELL-MADE VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD OTHER TOYOTAS BUT NONE WITH AS MANY PROBLEMS AS THIS VEHICLE. AND, WITH ALL THE NEWS OF ACCELERATOR PROBLEMS, I WOULD LIKE MY PROBLEMS CHECKED AND NOT BE CHARGED FOR IT. I DO NOT LIKE THE IDEA OF HAVING TO PAY $103 (1HR LABOR) X 3 DIFFERENT ACCELERATOR ISSUES + ANOTHER $103 TO SEE WHY THERE IS THE SMELL OF GASOLINE COMING FROM THE A/C VENT. 1. WHEN STEPPING ON THE ACCELERATOR, I WILL GET NO RESPONSE... I CONTINUE TO DEPRESS THE GAS, STILL NO RESPONSE. THEN FINALLY, THE CAR WILL THRUST FORWARD VIOLENTLY. THIS HAS BEEN MENTIONED TO TOYOTA HAWAII DEALER SEVERAL TIMES SAYING IT WAS NORMAL FOR DRIVE BY WIRE VEHICLE...

ON FEB 10, 2010 MY 07 TOYOTA CAMRY ACCEL PEDAL STUCK ON ME, 5 DAYS AFTER THE RECALL WAS DONE ON IT. IT REVVED FROM 2000-4000 RPMS, I HAD TO BRAKE HARD FOR IT TO STOP AND REGAIN CONTROL. TOOK IT INTO TOYOTA, THEY LOOKED AT IT, RETURNED THE CAR AND TOLD ME "NOTHING WAS WRONG." ON MARCH 4, 2010 IT HAPPENED AGAIN, THIS TIME IT ACCELERATED FROM 20 MPH TO 40 MPH IN A SPLIT SECOND, AND I ALMOST HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. AGAIN I HAD BRAKE HARD TO GAIN CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE. TOYOTA AGAIN LOOKED OVER MY CAR, AND AGAIN CAME UP WITH NOTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR. SO THAT IS TWO TIMES AFTER THE RECALL WAS COMPLETED THAT MY HAS ACCELERATED. IT ALSO DID ACCELERATE BEFORE THE RECALL. *TR

INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) 2007 CAMRY ACCELERATES AT A WHIM FOR 2-3 SECONDS. IT HAPPENS VERY IN FREQUENT, THE LAST TIME ABOUT 3-4 MONTHS AGO. HAS BEEN TAKEN TO DEALER AND THEY STATE CAN NOT DO ANYTHING, UNLESS IT HAPPENS OR IS REPRODUCED FOR THEM. I REPORTED THIS BY PHONE TO NHTSA BUT HAVE NOT GOTTEN ANY FEED BACK AS I WAS TOLD I WOULD RECEIVE AND E-MAIL AND FOLLOW UP LETTER. [XXX] *TR

MY 2007 CAMRY HESITATES WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STANDSTILL, AND RPM KEEPS DROPPING FROM 2000 RPM TO 1000 RPM FOR A SECOND AND BACK TO 2000 RPM AS I'M TRYING TO MAINTAIN SPEED. IT COULD MAKE MY CAR TO SLIDE ON ICY ROAD BECAUSE OF THIS ENGINE BRAKING, AND IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I JUST TOUCH GAS PEDAL AND LET GO RPM DROPS AND GOES BACK TO CRUISING RPM ALL IN 1 SECOND. THIS HAPPENS AS SOON AS I REMOVE MY FOOT OF THE GAS PEDAL, CAUSING LIKE BRAKING FEELING. I TOLD TOYOTA DEALERSHIP IN GUELPH, ONTARIO ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BUT THEIR MASTER SERVICE ADVISOR CRAIG ALLEN SAYS THAT IS NORMAL. I BELIEVE THAT THERE IS ELECTRONIC THROTTLE ISSUE. *TR

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...

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY WHICH WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW. WHILE TRAVELING 5 MPH AND UP AND DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE SLOWLY PICKED UP SPEED AND WOULD OFTEN HESITATE. THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE AND ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATING ACCORDING TO THE MANUFACTURER'S SPECIFICATIONS. THERE WAS AN OPEN RECALL ON THE VEHICLE (NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10V017000, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL: ACCELERATOR PEDAL) AND THE RELATED REPAIR WAS PERFORMED. THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT SINCE THE RECALL REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE THEY WOULD NOT ASSIST ANY FURTHER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 50,000. UPDATED 5/10/10 *CN THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WOULD HESITATE UPON ACCELERATION. THERE WAS A DELAY WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE. UPDATED 09/16/10

AS I WAS PULLING INTO THE CURB TO PARK, MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY ACCELERATED AND CRASHED INTO A BUILDING IN QUAKERTOWN, PA. I PUT IT INTO REVERSE AND STOPPED THE CAR. DAMAGE TO THE BRICK BUILDING WAS EXTENSIVE. PROPERTY DAMAGE AMOUNTED TO $14,500 AND AUTO DAMAGE AT $750. REPLACEMENT PARTS WERE INSTALLED IN THE AUTO. BRICKWORK AND INTERIOR DAMAGE WAS TAKEN CARE OF. *TR

I HAVE 2007 CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 40 AND 60 MPH, WHEN I PEDDLED THE ACCELERATOR THE CAR DOES NOT PICK UP/ACCELERATE. THE RPM GOES FROM 2000 TO 4000 RPM, AND AFTER A COUPLE OF SECONDS OF DELAY CAR PICKS UP. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY, WHILE MERGING ONTO A FREEWAY WHERE THERE IS NO SHOULDER LANE AND YOU HAVE TO MERGE IN REALLY FAST. THE DEALER SAID IT'S A PROBLEM WITH THE SOFTWARE AND THEY UPDATED THE SOFTWARE IN MY CAR. I STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND IT OCCURS FREQUENTLY IN WINTER. I WENT TO THE DEALER RECENTLY AND THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION, IT'S JUST THE WAY 2007 MODELS ARE. IN OTHER WORDS, THEY MADE A PIECE OF JUNK IN 2007 AND NOW THEY CAN NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I AM HOPING TO SEE THE RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE SOON. *TR

THE NEW 2007 CAMRY HAS ALWAYS HAD AN UNEVEN ACCELERATION AND SLOWING. IT IS AS THOUGH THE TRANSMISSION IS ALWAYS "SEARCHING" FOR THE CORRECT GEAR. AS A RESULT, THE ENGINE IS ALWAYS CHANGING SPEEDS. DURING THE INITIAL REPAIR, THE SERVICE MANAGER STATED THAT THEY HAVE "A LOT" OF THESE TYPES OF COMPLAINTS AND SAID THE SOFTWARE WAS UPDATED. ON SUBSEQUENT REPAIRS I WAS TOLD THE SAME THING AND THAT TOYOTA COULD NOT REPAIR THE PROBLEM THAT THE 2007 CAMRYS HAD. WHEN I ASKED ABOUT SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE TRANSMISSION OR ACCIDENTS I WAS TOLD THAT I HAVE A WARRANTY. I E-MAILED TOYOTA BUT DID NOT RECEIVE A RESPONSE. I BELIEVE THIS IS A POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE AND AM UNCOMFORTABLE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY AND I FEEL A VIBRATION BETWEEN 40 AND 42 MPH, PARTICULARLY DURING HIGHWAY DRIVING. I HAVE THE TIRES ROTATED AND CHECKED ON A REGULAR BASIS AND THE ROAD CONDITIONS ARE SMOOTH AND DRY. *TR

I OWN A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY SE V6. I HAVE EXPERIENCED SINCE THE DAY I BOUGHT IT WHERE I CAN BE DRIVING ALONG AND WHEN I SLOW DOWN, THE ENGINE WILL REV AND THE TACHOMETER WILL GO UP TO AROUND 4,000 RPM AND THEN WHAT SEEMS LIKE 30 SECONDS OR MORE, THE GEARS WILL FINALLY CATCH AND THE CAR WILL GO AND ALL THIS RESULTS IN A JERK LIKE REACTION GIVING ME A WHIPLASH FEELING. IT CAN HAPPEN AT ANY SPEED AND THE LATEST EXPERIENCE HAPPENED WHEN I WAS GOING AROUND 55 MPH, ON THE HIGHWAY WHICH WAS VERY FULL WITH TRAFFIC. IT WAS VERY FRIGHTENING NOT TO MENTION A MAIN CONCERN AS TO IF THE CAR WERE TO LOSE POWER, I WOULD HAVE TO SOMEHOW COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND WHERE I WAS THERE WASN'T MUCH ROOM TO PULL OVER. *JB

2007 CAMRY XLE. PROBLEMS WITH HESITATION WHEN ACCELERATING. THE DEALERSHIP JUST BLEW ME OFF WHEN I EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM. ACTED AS IF THIS WAS NEVER A PROBLEM WITH CAMRYS. ALSO HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH STEERING COLUMN'S RADIO CONTROLS - WHEN PRESSING THE APPROPRIATE BUTTONS, NOTHING WOULD HAPPEN OR, WHEN SEEKING STATIONS THAT WERE PROGRAMMED IN, THE DOWN OR UP BUTTONS WOULD JUMP TO OTHER STATIONS NOT PROGRAMMED. SINCE THIS PROBLEM IS ERRATIC, NOTHING WAS DONE BY DEALER. PROBLEMS WITH THE OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE GAUGE - AT TIMES, IT WOULD TAKE 15-20 MINUTES BEFORE THE TEMPERATURE WOULD CHANGE TO THE CORRECT ONE. EXAMPLE: IT READ 77 DEGREES WHEN IT WAS ACTUALLY IN THE MID-90S. DEALERSHIP DID REPAIR THIS LAST SUMMER BUT NOW, IT IS READING SEVEN+ DEGREES OFF THE ACTUAL OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE. THE FINAL PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR IS THAT THE PAINT IS CHIPPING OFF OF THE FRAME AREA BELOW THE DOORS...

VEHICLE RETAINS CRUISE CONTROL SPEED IN MEMORY EVEN AFTER APPLYING BRAKES AND STOPPING. GOES BACK TO CRUISE CONTROL SPEED INSTEAD OF RESPONDING TO GAS PEDAL AND RAMS INTO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT. VEHICLE REVS UP AND DOWN FOR NO REASON WHEN IN CRUISE CONTROL EVEN WHEN TRAVELING ON FLAT TERRAIN/FREEWAY. COMPLAINTS TO LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER DID NOT HELP UNTIL THE ACCIDENT, DID AN UPGRADE TO THE SOFTWARE WHICH HAS HELPED BUT LITTLE, PROBLEM STILL REMAINS. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN AN OPEN ROAD AT A MODERATE SPEED (ABOUT 40 MPH). THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY BEGAN TO ACCELERATE. I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL BUT THIS ONLY CAUSED THE ENGINE TO REV. I CONTINUED TO PRESS ON THE BRAKE PEDAL WITH A GREAT DEAL OF FORCE AND WAS EVENTUALLY WITH DIFFICULTY ABLE TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP EVEN THOUGH THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO BE REVVING VERY HIGH. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE. AFTER WAITING FOR A FEW SECONDS, I TURNED THE VEHICLE BACK ON AGAIN. THE ENGINE WAS STILL REVVING OUT OF CONTROL. I TURNED THE VEHICLE BACK OFF AND WAITED A FEW SECONDS THEN TRIED AGAIN. THE ENGINE WAS STILL REVVING VERY HIGH. ON THE THIRD OR FOURTH TRY OF THIS CYCLE, THE ENGINE FINALLY STARTED NORMALLY. I WAS THEN ABLE TO DRIVE AWAY AT A NORMAL SPEED. I...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. ALSO INTERMITTENTLY THE VEHICLE WILL ACCELERATE WITHOUT APPLICATION OF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47553. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 50001.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY PURCHASED NEW IN 2007. HE STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD HESITATE UPON ACCELERATION. WHEN DRIVING UP A HILL, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED TO THE FLOOR AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE DROVE AS IF IT WAS LOW ON FUEL. THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE; HOWEVER, HE UPDATED THE COMPUTER MODULE. THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE UNDER 28,000.

I HAVE A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY THAT I PURCHASED NEW. SINCE NEW THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION HESITATES WHEN THE CAR IS SLOWED TO ABOUT 20MPH AND WHEN YOU TRY TO ACCELERATE NOTHING HAPPENS FOR A FEW SECONDS BEFORE IT RESUMES. THE DEALER SAID THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT AND THAT'S THE WAY A "DRIVE BY WIRE" TRANSMISSION WORKS. I CALLED THE TOYOTA HOTLINE AND GOT NOWHERE. I SEEMS THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS COMPLAINT. THE INTERNET IS LOADED WITH DISSATISFIED OWNERS. I THINK TOYOTA SHOULD BE MADE TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I'VE BOUGHT AT LEAST TWENTY NEW TOYOTAS OVER THE YRS AND NEVER HAD A PROBLEM LIKE THIS. IT OCCURS ALL THE TIME. *TR

HAD ACCIDENT IN 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. VEHICLE HESITATED AS I HAD ACCELERATED TO GO AROUND A TRUCK TO AVOID HITTING IT. THIS CAR HESITATES ABOUT 2 TO 3 SECONDS BEFORE TAKING OFF. WHEN CAR DOES TAKE OFF IT GOES TO FAST AND CAN MAKE A DRIVER LOSE CONTROL. THIS CAR ALSO SHAKES OR VIBRATE WHEN YOU ACCELERATE TO SPEEDS OF 60 TO 65MPH. STEERING IS A PROBLEM WHEN CAR HESITATE THEN TAKES OFF, THIS IS WHEN YOU CAN LOSE CONTROL. PASSING AND CHANGING LANES CAN BE A PROBLEM WHEN ACCELERATION IS NEEDED. THIS CAR CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS. THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THE SPEEDOMETER, I GUESS IT'S THE TRANSMISSION OR WHATEVER PART THAT CONTROLS THE CAR TAKE OFF SPEED. *TR

2007 TOYOTA CAMRY CE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS - HESITATION WITH 4 CYLINDER ENGINE. UPON ACCELERATING TO MERGE IN TRAFFIC ON INTERSTATE, TRANSMISSION HESITATED ON THE ON RAMP WHICH ALMOST CAUSED ANOTHER VEHICLE TO REAREND MY VEHICLE. I WAS GOING APPROXIMATELY 40 - 45 MPH PRIOR TO ACCELERATION WHEN MY VEHICLE HESITATED CAUSING MY SPEED TO DECREASE CONSIDERABLY. IN TURN, THE VEHICLE FOLLOWING ME AT ABOUT A CAR LENGTH AND A HALF BACK CAME CLOSE TO REARENDING MY VEHICLE. THIS HESITATION HAS OCCURRED NUMEROUS TIMES SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. SPOKE WITH THE DEALER ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AS WELL AS TOYOTA MOTOR CORP AND WAS TOLD THAT IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH NO FIX. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY RISK AND SHOULD BE CORRECTED OR THE VEHICLE RECALLED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION. *TR

2007 TOYOTA CAMRY 4 CYLINDER RANDOMLY HESITATES ON TAKE OFF. CAUSES A HAZARD WHEN ENTERING HEAVY TRAFFIC FROM A STOP OR NEAR ZERO ACCELERATION POINT. ALSO DRAGS AND SEEMS TO PULL ON ENGINE WHEN IN A COASTING SITUATION. IT FIRST DID THIS AROUND 6800 MILES. DEALER DID A SOFTWARE UPDATE TO CORRECT THE ISSUE. NOW IT'S DOING IT AGAIN AT 30, 000 MILES AND DEALER SAYS THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN FIND WRONG. *TR

CONSUMER IS UPDATING INFORMATION. *NJ THE CONSUMER STATED HE NOTICED A VERY ROUGH DOWNSHIFT IN THE TRANSMISSION. THERE WAS NO FIX FOR THE COMPUTER PROBLEM BECAUSE OF A SOFTWARE PROBLEM.

2007 CAMRY V6 WITH AUTO TRANSMISSION HAS HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH DOWNSHIFTING AND UPSHIFTING CONSTANTLY WHEN NOT NEEDED, HESITATING WHEN ACCELERATOR IS PRESSED DOWN. ALSO, THE CAR SOMETIMES SURGES WHEN BETWEEN GEARS, AND THEN DOWNSHIFTS VERY VERY HARD. THE DEALER HAS HAD ALL OF TOYOTAS TSB'S APPLIED FOR ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS, BUT THEY STILL EXIST. THERE NEEDS TO BE SOME OTHER FIX FOR THESE PROBLEMS. *TR

I NOTICED SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING MY NEW 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY THAT THE CAR HESITATED ON ACCELERATION. I ORIGINALLY THOUGHT THAT IT WAS BECAUSE IT WAS NEW. I ALSO OWN A 1993 CAMRY, WHICH HAS NEVER GIVEN US A PROBLEM. BESIDES GAS AND OIL CHANGES THIS CAR STILL RUNS WELL. HAD I KNOWN THAT THIS NEWER MODEL WAS GOING TO BE SCARY TO DRIVE I WOULD HAVE NEVER PURCHASED IT. LIKE SO MANY OTHERS, I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE. IT CONTINUES TO HESITATE WHEN YOU NEED TO ACCELERATE QUICKLY, IN REVERSE IT FLIES OUT OF THE GARAGE EVEN WHEN NOT PRESSING ON THE GAS...I REFUSE TO LET MY 16 YEAR OLD DRIVE IT AND FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A DESIGN PROBLEM. PS I ALSO HAD TO HAVE MY TIRES CHANGED AFTER ONLY A FEW THOUSAND MILES, THEY WERE COMPLETELY WORN. *TR

CAMRY 2007 SE V6. ACCELERATION PROBLEMS, HESITATES AT TAKE OFF, TRANSMISSION SLIPS LIKE ITS SEARCHING FOR A GEAR, SMELL FROM A/C. ENGINE TICKS WHEN I TAKE OFF AND DON'T LET IT WARM UP EVEN THOUGH ITS WARM OUTSIDE. HAD PROBLEMS WITH TIRES, HAD THEM REPLACED. LOUD ROAD NOISE CAR NOT VERY SOUND PROOF. FEELS LIKE STEERING WHEEL "STICKS"FOR JUST A SECOND LONG ENOUGH TO SCARE ME LIKE SOMEONE IS HOLDING IT. *TR

FROM THE TIME I PURCHASED THE CAR I NOTICED THAT WHEN I FLOORED THE GAS PEDAL OR JUST STEPPED ON IT TO PASS A CAR, THERE WOULD BE A HESITATION OF 4-5 SECONDS BEFORE IT WOULD WIND UP AND THEN GO. I TALKED TO THE DEALER WHO SAID THAT YES THEY WERE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE EARLY MODELS OF 2007'S AND HE GOT APPROVAL FROM TOYOTA TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. THIS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM, I WENT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT A NEW PROGRAM NEEDED TO BE INSTALLED ON THE TRANSMISSION. THEY DID IT BUT IT IS STILL THE SAME. ON 10-25-08 I WENT TO THE DEALER TO AGAIN COMPLAIN AND THEY SAID THAT I WOULD JUST HAVE TO LIVE WITH IT. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE WHEN YOU ACCELERATE YOU NEED THE CAR TO RESPOND, WHICH IT WILL NOT DO....

SOON AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR, WE DISCOVERED A TERRIBLE PROBLEM WITH THE CARS ACCELERATION. IT ONLY HAPPENED INTERMITTENTLY; WHEN YOU WERE SLOWING THEN HAD TO ACCELERATE QUICKLY. PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL WOULD RESULT A LONG HESITATION. THIS VERY OFTEN PUT THE DRIVER IN DANGER. SOON AFTER THE PURCHASE, WE TOOK THE CAR INTO THE TOYOTA DEALER. THEY TOLD US THAT THE CAR WAS OPERATING AS DESIGNED WITH THE NEW COMPUTER SYSTEM THAT ADJUSTS TO DRIVERS HABITS. WE HAVE BEEN LIVING WITH THIS PROBLEM FOR ALMOST 2 YEARS NOW, AND HAVE DECIDED TO GET RID OF THE CAR. PRIOR TO SELLING IT, I DID A SEARCH ON THE INTERNET LOOKING TO SEE IF ANYONE ELSE WAS EXPERIENCING THE PROBLEM. I FOUND AN ARTICLE AT THIS CONSUMER AFFAIRS LINK.
