| Description of the problem | There is a significant delay when you try to accelerate in the 2007 toyota camry! After a scary incident involving a tractor trailer truck, poor acceleration, and a hill, ( fortunately there was no accident) i called toyota headquarters to report the incident ( because of the acceleration delay). They were of no help, but told me to bring my car to the local dealer to be examined for the acceleration delay. The dealers mechanic reported back to me after a quick examination and test drive that there is no acceleration delay issue ,and that the car is built this way. What the mechanic did do( possibly to appease me) was re-set the acceleration component in the car's computer. This 'adjustment' has done nothing to fix the issue, and i still experience acceleration delay to this day. Unfortunately, toyota does not seem interested in fixing this potentially deadly flaw. I hope there are no fatalities resulting from this problem. |
