| Description of the problem | In june 2014 i bought a 2014. 5 camry brand new. During the first week i drove it the accelerator would not speed up after pressing down & hesitated as well trying to catch up. I reported this to toyota of orlando & was informed it was learning my driving techniques after a test drive. The report was never documented by the service department & i had to identify who drove me for the problem i reported to prove i actually reported it. It was stated he just forgot. This kept happening very frequently & after another driver randomly drove my car & asked what was wrong i immediately took it in again nov 27,2014. They did nothing. I was refused to be seen after scheduling an appointment with toyota of clermont, fl & they heard of my problem. The problem persisted. December 28, 2014 as i was driving with people in my car, the engine cut off at 55 mph. I pressed the accelerator all the way down & it continued to decline. This was reported the next morning. I was told to park my car because everyone was on vacation & not to drive it. They would not rent a car for me in the meantime. Once i was able to be seen it could not be duplicated. This happened again with my children in january 2015 & was also recorded by a passenger riding with me. After that occasion every signal light came on. I took it back to a different toyota of central florida dealer & reported the problem & the mechanic stated nobody from toyota orlando attempted to contact or call the service tech line to find the problem. They added a code to fix it and i left. After 1000 miles of driving the hesitation started again & also the gears could be felt changing by the mechanic who test drove it with me. The toyota dealership at central florida gave me a repair order & then a totally different repair order to corporate. I've written the manufacturer demanding my money back & they constantly give me false information. My job was lost due to no reliable transportation and i'm still waiting to go to a lemon law hearing that will hopefully be scheduled soon. |
