| Description of the problem | I have a problem with my 2007 camry accelerating from a stopped or "low speed" position. I also have had to have the air conditioner condenser replaced due to a rock coming through the grill of the car and "puncturing the condenser. I took the car to a toyota dealer in slidell, la as i was out of town. The dealer replaced the condenser for $625. 00 at my expense. I was told there were no "screens" or any type of materials that could keep this from occurring again. There is however a tsb for the same thing on the 2007 corolla. I feel that toyota has a flaw in the grill of the 2007 camry and it should be remedied. On the issue of acceleration, i live in a congested traffic area in fl and do not feel that i can safely "pull out" into traffic unless i have a great deal of clearance. I feel that this is a severe safety issue that needs to be addressed by toyota. I am an avid fan of toyota products. This is my 3rd camry and i owned a scion tc as well so this is not about downing a toyota product. I believe in toyota. I just think now is the time to recognize a problem and remedy that for the consumer. I would hate for someone to get killed before they address this issue. *nm |
