| Description of the problem | 2007 toyota camry - while slowing down in traffic from 30 mph, as i reached approximately 10 mph the engine "revved up" ...... I had to brake harder while the car was bucking as if it wanted to speed ahead .... After 5 seconds, engine slowed abruptly so that we thought it had stalled but it was just back to the usual idling speed. The car was brought in to the toyota dealership on june 16, 2010 right after this incident. They examined the car, found nothing wrong and charged us $96. 00. This "revving up" has happened before but not as severe as this occurrence. Since the june 16 incident, it has happened six other times several of which were severe. The most recent severe incident was on august 21, 2010. We have notified the toyota corporation but as of today, 8/25/2010, they have not advised us as to what to do. We are not driving the car until this is resolved and the car is found to be safe. |
