| Description of the problem | I own a toyota camry 2007 se. I have repeatedly taken the car back to the dealership for service for a problem reported by others: momentary hesitation in acceleration when stepping on the gas. I have had the computer reprogrammed several times and the dealership tells me this is just how it is made. It is dangerous when trying to accelerate at a critical time. In addition, i had another odd experience. I had started the car while in my garage, fastened my seat belt, put my foot on the brake, and unfortunately reached for the open car door at the same time i put the car in reverse. The car lurched backward while my foot was still on the brake, the car door took out shelving and my chest freezer and the wheels were still spinning and had to turn the car off. Needless to say it caused property damage and over $3,000 damage to my car. Of course i took the car to the dealership immediately and they checked it and said that there was no problem with the car and that they had never heard of this before. There were no bulletins on this issue. They made me feel stupid and said that obviously i had my foot on the gas. I know that my foot was on the break. With all of the recall issues, i am becoming frightened about driving this car!! |
