Status=''; return true;">automatic transmission'; return true;" onmouseout="window. Status=''; return true;">automatic transmission. Vehicle fails to accelerate for several seconds after the accelerator is pressed following a stop. Appears to happen after a quick rolling stop and when the air conditioner having to work. Car is unpredictable, it will start moving after the accelerator is pressed in these circumstances. This can cause an accident due to the unpredictable nature of throttle hesitation. *jb car also hunts for gears at slower speeds causing uncomfortable ride as the car lurches forward at unpredictable times after the accelerator is pressed. Vehicle has been taken to the service department of the dealer the car was purchased from. I was told this was a problem with all the v6 camry's which the dealer could not fix. I was asked to bring the car in for further testing, which i did, but nothing has been done to attempt to fix the vehicle. *jb the vehicle jerked the consumer around as gears where shifted.
