| Description of the problem | My 2007 camry acceleration has not failed to stop accelerating, but it has been slow to engage. This has made crossing intersections or blending with moving traffic difficult. I have taken the car to the dealer, and they "rebooted" the accelerator mechanism. I have also had an issue with the brakes making terrible noise when backing up. I was told that was just because the car had been setting. I was later told there is a technical bulletin regarding the brakes for the model, but since i am out of the warranty period there is noting i can do but ask for a repair. I was also reassured the noise was not a danger signal, and there was not a safety issue. Based on what i have heard the last few weeks, how can i be certain? When i said i had been driving for 50 years, and have never had a car that made this kind of noise, the dealer representative said "i had been lucky!" note my dates are on or about. |
