| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | Vehicle surged and had delayed acceleration. Also, had an episode of not being able to go over 10 mph, and had a strong burning smell. Vehicel slipped out of gear under sustained and steady speed, and also between first and second gears when accelerating.*ak the dealer said they could find nothing wrong, and most of these symptoms (surging/delayed acceleration) were normal for the camry. This is not normal. This is dangerous. The next day the vehicle wouldn't start at all. Dealer had it flatbedded to them. Replaced ecu computer. This did not fix the slipping transmission or the engine surging or delayed acceleration. This vehicle is hard to control speedwise due to not knowing if the car will go when pushing on the gas pedal. Sometimes there is up to a three second delay, other times it surges to high rpm and you shoot forward. A very scary car to drive. Dealer won't/cant fix. |
