| Description of the problem | I own a 2007 toyota camry 4 door, 4 cylinder, automatic. My wife and two daughters also drive this vehicle. I have had the recall for the mat, gas pedal, and the computer reprogrammed and serviced by the dealer. Our problem is; we start up the car and move into traffic, we turn the air- conditioning on high. We pull up to a red light and stop. We push down the accelerator and have to push a little harder to get the vehicle moving. We enter the intersection and go to make a left turn, we are moveinat approximately 3 - 6 m. P. H. The transmission is in 1st gear and then nothing. The car hesitates and will not shift into the next gear. My next reaction is to press the accelerator harder, no response, push harder and then the car will accelerate. This hesitation is dangerous. It is long enough to cause a collision. I know and expect power to be drained off the engine when air conditioning is used. We have had other vehicles with ac. This is unlike any other hesitation or sluggish acceleration. I repeat: it is dangerous! I have told the dealer three times about this but they do not recognize the importance. |
