| Description of the problem | The 2007 toyota camry transmission "lags" and "surges". The occurrence began with a jerk while starting from a complete stop and has progressed to a surge without depression of the gas pedal. If this surge forward were to occur on a curve or bend in the road at any velocity loss of control is possible. Any surge while driving in hazardous road conditions could lead to loss of control of the vehicle. With the cruise control set at 75 mph the camry surged to over 5000 rpms multiple times during a 500 highway mile road trip. Consequently, the cruise control was turned off and we drove the remainder of the trip without cruise control. We serviced our camry and nothing was found to be wrong with the cruise control but an update of the ecm is needed. This update was issued by toyota due to the number of complaints pertaining to the transmission in the 2007 camry. The dealership we use for service was unaware of the update issued by toyota until we informed them of it. *jb |
