| Description of the problem | I have a 2008 toyota camry, when starting my auto, the engine races for appx. 30 seconds, then goes down. Also in the last 5 weeks i have notice that the car lurches forward then goes back to the spend i have it on. I am very nervous driving this car, this problem just started happening about 5 or 6 weeks ago, at first i thought i was just thinking it was happening, but it seems to be getting more frequent. I have to drive it, it is the only car i have, so doctors appointments have to be keep, fear or not, i hope it does not go speeding an not stop, my mother is 82 a very afraid to get into the car, but we have to go places. We live on roads with inclines. Very steep hills, one has a stop sign at the foot of it, but so far it does stop. It makes a loud engine noise. Like a grinding of the engine, at first the brakes hesitate stopping but i push really hard on them and they stop it. I took it in for an inspection sticker an they said it passed. I told them about the problem. They said they did not know what to do about it at this time. |
