WHEN PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL TO ACCELERATE THE CAMRY IS EXPERIENCING HESITATION AND SEEMS TO WAIT 5-10 SECONDS BEFORE PICKING UP SPEED. I EXPERIENCED THIS WHEN ACCELERATING FROM 30-40MPH WHEN PREPARING TO MERGE INTO HIGHWAY TRAFFIC. FELT VERY DANGEROUS.

I JUST LEARNED THAT MY TOYOTA WAS COVERED UNDER A RESTRICTED RECALL UNTIL 10/31/17. MY CAR JUST RECENTLY STARTED SHOWING THE SAME ISSUES WITH VIBRATION AT 35-45MPH. I WOULD LIKE THIS RECALL TO BE EXTENDED TO COVER ALL CARS WITH THIS KNOWN ISSUE.

ON CHANGING CELLULAR SERVICE THIS YEAR, I GOT A NEW PHONE. INSTRUCTIONS TO ENTER IT INTO THE CAMRY'S BLUETOOTH WERE UNSUCCESSFUL, BECAUSE, AS I FOUND OUT AFTER TAKING THE CAMRY TO TOYOTA FOR SERVICE, THE BOTTOM HALF OF THE TOUCH SCREEN NO LONGER WORKS. AS A RESULT, TO USE THE CELL PHONE IN THE CAR I HAVE TO HOLD IT IN MY HAND AND WORK THE PHONE. I WAS TOLD BY TOYOTA THAT THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THAT THEY WILL NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS CREATES A SAFETY PROBLEM, APPARENTLY SO PREVALENT IN TOYOTAS THAT IT CAN BE GOOGLED ONLINE.
