| Description of the problem | I noticed shortly after purchasing my new 2007 toyota camry that the car hesitated on acceleration. I originally thought that it was because it was new. I also own a 1993 camry, which has never given us a problem. Besides gas and oil changes this car still runs well. Had i known that this newer model was going to be scary to drive i would have never purchased it. Like so many others, i was told by the dealer that there was nothing wrong with my vehicle. It continues to hesitate when you need to accelerate quickly, in reverse it flies out of the garage even when not pressing on the gas... I refuse to let my 16 year old drive it and firmly believe that there is a design problem. Ps i also had to have my tires changed after only a few thousand miles, they were completely worn. |
