| Description of the problem | I have a 2007 toyota camry hybrid. I reported this issue to the dealership twice, once shortly after i got the in car in 2007 and again in 2008 when it went in for routine maintenance. The issue: on occasion, when i remove my foot from the accelerator pedal and depress the brake pedal the car will "surge" forward moving from an almost imperceivable amount up to about a foot. This is not a consistent problem and does not happen often. It seems to happen most often in the first few minutes of driving and i have noticed it more when the car is on an incline but it has happened at other times. This is not a floor mat issue - my floor mat has the locking mechanism to keep it from sliding and when checked it has never been under or around either the brake or accelerator. The initial response from the dealership was that the car could not, under any circumstances, move forward if the brake was depressed and that i probably just noticed the engine going from gas to hybrid and thought it moved. The second complaint received much the same reaction. I was shocked that the hybrids were not recalled with the accelerator issue but given prior complaints the dealership has agreed to check the car again. |
