| Description of the problem | The camry has been hesitating on starting from a dead stop, since the day it was purchased. There are times when you really need to accelerate and it just doesn't move for two to four seconds. This is a dangerous flaw and can lead to an accident. I reported it to toyota, had the car in the repair center twice and they tell me it's a software limitation, and it will be solved. However, i looked into auto performance reports on the internet ad it's been a problem with the 2007 camry, which was never addressed for the 2008 model. |
