| Description of the problem | I have a toyota camry xle 2010 that i purchased late last year. The vehicle was working normally during the recall period lately. However, after receiving the recall notice from toyota, i brought it to the dealer to have it fixed on the protential problems. That was done about 2 weeks ago. The service manager to me that they would update the computer system so that if the gas pedal and the break are applied at the same time, the system will cut off or reduce its power for safety. During the last 2 weeks the vehicle seemed to be working fine. Then last week i brought it back to the same dealer (team toyota, pa) to have an oil change. This morning (tuesday 03/23/2010) i've noticed a problem on my vehicle while driving: when i step on the gas pedal to move forward i can feel that the vehicle tried a bit harder than normal, but as soon as i lift up my foot off the gas pedal, the vehicle seems to slow down or lost its power so fast that it lost its momentum quickly and feeling like someone is stepping on the break. This seems to be a reverse affect of the recalled problem. I'm feeling nervous. I'm going to call the dealer today, but i'm pretty sure they couldn't do anything about it until the problem is recognized by toyota themselves. |
