| Description of the problem | This problem may be related to the toyota gas pedal recall. I have a 2007 toyota camry le. When i am on the freeway and moving in a slow lane, and change lane and push on the gas pedal to accelerate, the car takes a few seconds to respond. As a result, i have almost been hit from other cars coming because my car was not accelerating fast enough. I never had such problem with other cars. I took my car to the dealer several occasion (3 or 4 times), and the very last time, i was told that there is nothing they can do as the sensor and software on the sensor works this way, and this problem is by design. I tried contacting toyota, and they sort of shrugs me away and did not respond. This problem is still there after 4 years of owning the car and i can reproduce it very easily. It happens every day and is an ongoing problem. I hope you would look at this issue and let me know what you find. Thank you. |
