| Description of the problem | Toyota has taken an unconsciable position against a potentially dangerous problem with the 2007 camry with automatic transmission. They admitted the problem, which they preferred to call a concern existing in all 2007 camry four and six cylinder vehicles. The problem was a hesitation, or lag, when attempted to accelerate the vehicle. This occursrred at low speeds from a stop, turning. Lane change, or forward movement about 80% of the time. I have been buying camrys and avalons since 1989 and have been a satisfied customer until the purchase of the 2007 camry xle, 4 cylinder with 5-speed automatic transmission. Toyota has obviously weighed the cost to them of correcting the problem against financial losses from serious accident law suites. *ak |
