| Description of the problem | Purchased car in april with 14,000 miles. Vehicle hesitates at random times - this is especially dangerous when making a left turn at a busy intersection. One time i was the 3rd car back at busy intersection with no left turn arrow. When it was my turn to go the car would barely move. I was fortunate that all the cars in the other direction waited until i cleared the intersection before going. When the traffic light changes from green to red, you are in danger of being hit by another car because you're still in the middle of the intersection. I called the dealer service depart and was told because the problem is random all they could do was have a tech go on a ride along and see if it happened. I test drove the car 3 times before buying it. I was not aware of this problem or i would not have bought this car. My previous car was a 2003 camry and i never had one minute of trouble with it. This is a very dangerous situation - someone could be killed or very badly injured - and needs to be investigated asap. |
