| Description of the problem | Purchased 2007 toyota camry 4 cyl. Have had trouble with the car accelerating speed. Has happened over a dozen times. In october was on a residential street - car accelerated and i swerved to miss boy on bike (damage to bumper) hit curb. Also, when trying to merge from stop will hit pedal - hesitation car does not move - have almost been hit 3 times. Have had car back to dealership - they pretend they have not heard of any problems. Shortly after purchasing my car they had a meeting for all new car owners. Five couples reported the same problem. When i called in december for a check into this problem (have been in touch with toyta - who also deny knowing of any problems - contacted them because i did not want car - afraid to drive) - the manager said he had heard of no such complaints. Reminded him that myself and five other new car owners had complained to him at the meeting. Toyota is going to have big problems - must have told managers to deny any problems!!!!! As they themselves are doing. How many people have to be in an accident. I have told my family that if i am in a fatal car accident - i want them to sue toyota. Afraid to drive car. Had car to dealership - since the two problems i stated only happen sporadically - they said they test drove car and saw no problems. Don't know how far they test drove - mileage at pickup was the exact same as drop off reading. Car had same problems on the way home - can you help me and any other toyota owners. Can't afford to trade in car. Please help me - what can i do. |
