| Description of the problem | I purchased my toyota 2018 camry se with 4 miles on it. Almost immediately i noticed that the car has major problems accelerating. While resuming driving ,from a stop sign or red light and merging on to a highway, when i press the gas pedal the car has a major delay in acceleration. It makes a loud revving noise like a sports car when i put my foot on the gas, and the car does not take off when pressing the gas pedal . It is a major delay . Its very slow, and you barely move while the car is making a tremendous and embarrassing amount of loud noise. In order to try and avoid being hit by oncoming traffic, i press the gas pedal to the floor, and at this time i don't know what will happen. Its totally random . I could take off out of sync with pressing the gas too quickly , or barely move at all. This is hazardous. I have complained to the service department twice at the toyota dealership, that i purchased my car with no resolution. The dealership said both times, that they test drove my car and said nothing was wrong with the car. Please do a recall on this car for our own safety. |
