| Description of the problem | I recently bought a 2004 toyota camry with 35,000 miles when i bought it. I started having problems with the car stalling when accelerated, i took it to auto zone to have them check with a computer which it showed that it was a problem with the throtle. I called the toyota dealer and i have been getting the run around, as days goes by the problem has increased, now the gas pedal doesnt need to be pressed for the car to take off, the rpm goes to 1500 even with the breaks on. I work 6 miles from the house and i had to start the car 8 times to be able to make it to work. I really think this is a safety issue that toyota should acknowledge instead of ignoring people when complaining about their products. Does the same thing that happened in 2009 need to happen to me before i get a solution or an answer to my questions. Back then toyota knew about the problem and as usual they swept it under the rug. I owe way too much money on that car. Do i have to spend thousands of dollars to get it fix.? As a consumer dont i deserve to know why this vehicle is having this problem? I had an altima & had to trade it in for this crap of so called car because of economical issues, and i regret it 100%. This is the second time i've got a toyota and all i've had its nothing but problems and as usual toyota ignores everything. I need a vehicle that is reliable and that i can trust my familsy to be safe in. I don't feel safe driving it, i can't put this vehicle on the road and jeopardize the live of inocent people. All i want is to have a safe drivable vehicler. Can somebody help before tragedy happens. |
