| Description of the problem | I have toyota camry 2007. I had experienced the rpm shooting up in low acceleration. I took the vehicle to dealer for repair in early feb 2010, but the dealer detected no problem. However, as the problem persisted and it happened frequently, so i took the video of speedometer and tachometer, and went back to dealer with the video. Mechanics at the dealer tried to duplicate the problem with computer hooked to my car, and i drove the car with them. But again, the problem could not be duplicated. Dealer advised me that this has nothing to do with sudden acceleration of toyota vehicles, and asked me to come back if the problem persists. Toyota did not perform any repair at that time. However, after this visit to the dealer, i have not experienced the same problem as frequently. I may have noticed it few times in the past month although i feel that acceleration seem unsteady. No accident has occurred, and i do not have sudden acceleration problem as reported on the news. However, i am concerned that the problem i have might be related to the sudden acceleration problem. I would like to provide the video if it can help nhtsa's current investigation for sudden acceleration of toyota vehicles. The consumer felt the transmission temporarily disengaged or down shifted temporarily. The rpm jumped about 200-500 rpms momentarily. When it happened, the consumer felt an abrupt, but slight jerk, but it didn't accelerate in an uncontrolled manner. Updated 04/29/10 *jb |
