| Description of the problem | I drive a 2008 four door toyota camry le. I have been worried by a hesitation in excelling and slowing when i press and release the gas. I mostly notice this when going between 20 & 45 mph but it has happened at higher speeds (just less often). Primarily at abt 35 mph while holding a steady pressure on the gas you feel the car randomly decel, or feel sluggish, but then when you release the gas you feel the engine pull faster even though your foot is off the gas. The rpm even jumps. I called toyota in cedar rapids, ia (i don't like the one in cedar falls, they forgot to put oil in my car once when doing an oil change & denied responsibility), the cedar rapids car lot rejected my request for service- stating there is a recall and i will be notified by toyota when a solution has been found. I then took my car to the place i purchased it (owned by the same people who own the toyota in cedar falls), they looked it over and abt 30 minutes later told me nothing was wrong with it, & that they didn't notice anything (this problem is hard to miss) that they cleaned the fuel filter & that should solve it. I drove home & the problem right from my exit persisted. Now hearing abt the concerns with toyota worry i am being ignored on a potentially dangerous issue with my vehicle?... |
