| Description of the problem | Since the time i bought my new 2010 toyota camry, i saw issues with the way the car transmission worked at speeds from 0-50mph. Starting from the first week of my using the car, i went to the dealership a total of 4 times, only to be sent back after a "test drive" saying nothing is wrong. In my own language, i had been explaining the issue which now looks exactly similar to the 'sticking gas pedal" recall recently informed by toyota. My car was still accelerating while braking, or would start braking when my foot is off the accelerator. I also used to feel a jerk when the car moved between speeds of 0-50mph. I commute 70 miles daily to work and i have noticed this daily to the point that i have started ignoring out of deep frustration. The dealer test drives and causes embarrassment saying they cannot recreate my issue. I logged an incident with toyota (091214-000053). It led to my fourth visit to the dealer with the same answer. Toyota's response from a case manager was that if they cannot recreate they will not do anything. I almost feel this is a hopeless case as i don't think neither toyota nor the dealership were truly serious about assisting me. They could have at least informed me that there are some potential issues with their vehicles that they are working on. I reopened a new case (100130-000604). So far i have received no recall notice from toyota. I don't think they are handling this the right way. I haven't had any major incidents, but i don't think i can wait for that to happen to get the attention of toyota or its dealer. This is not a smart way of solving an issue. I feel disappointed, angry and helpless. |
