| Description of the problem | 2007 toyota camry. First problem within 30 days of owning the car was a loud clunking under the hood when driving car at different speeds. After mechanic test drove with me he could not feel the problem. He did not check under the hood and i did not leave my car. He told me to come back when it happened again. The second time i took the car back i left it over nite and was told the next day there was nothing wrong. I insisted they keep my car until they found what i was talking about. After 2 days i called them and they determined my transmission was bad and replaced it. They had my car almost 2 weeks. A couple days after the new tranny was put in i went on a 120 mile trip. I was extremely disappointed with my cars performance. It would accelerate at high speeds after i took my foot off the gas pedal and when i disengaged the cruise. It was a very dangerous and frightning situation when i came upon a wreck on interstate and my car accelerated instead of decreasing the speed. I took my car back once again for and oil change and to get the car check out and they said they fixed it with a computer chip adjustment. I took my car back again today because i am still having problems with automatically accelerating at low speeds. |
