| Description of the problem | I've been having issues for a few months now with my 2012 camry not accelerating when i press on the gas pedal. This usually happens when i turn a corner & most recently has happened many times while driving on a straight road down a city street. I could be going about 25-35 mph, press the brake to slow down but then when i press on the gas pedal to pick up speed again, the car will stall meaning it doesn't accelerate at all & just coasts. I've had other people drive my car & the same thing has happened to them while driving. I have had cars almost run into the back of my car because of this & i have children with one of them being only 2 years old & they have been in the car with me at times when this happens. I have notified toyota of the problem many times but they just keep telling me that it's normal & that they can't find anything wrong. They also mentioned that the computer software is experiencing some type of delay or something to that effect & that could be the problem. I purchased my camry brand new in 2012 & i have always kept the service current on my car. Of course toyota has proof of that in their system. I need for them to acknowledge this issue & correct it before myself, my children or someone else gets severely hurt or lose our lives or cause someone else to lose their life. This is a very scary situation to be in especially while in high speed traffic. I will continue to make toyota aware of the problem until something is done. |
