TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE VEHICLE HESITATES WHEN THE CONTACT DEPRESSES THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. TOYOTA STATED THAT NOTHING COULD BE DONE BECAUSE IT WAS A DESIGN FLAW.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN HE DEPRESSES THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE ENGINE REVS BUT THE VEHICLE WILL NOT MOVE. HE ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE OPERATES AS IF IT IS UNSURE OF WHICH GEAR IT IS IN. THE FAILURES OCCUR INTERMITTENTLY. HE HAS NOTIFIED THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THERE IS A FLAW WITH THE ECM MODULE. THE MANUFACTURER, WHO HAS A CASE NUMBER, STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS DESIGNED TO PERFORM IN THAT MANNER AND OFFERED TO REPLACE THE ECM MODULE. HOWEVER, THEY STATED THAT HIS VEHICLE ALREADY HAS THE UPDATED SOFTWARE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 20,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,000.

I PURCHASED A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY IN SEPTEMBER 2006. THE VEHICLE HAS 16,000+ MILES ON IT. THE VEHICLE HESITATES UPON ACCELERATION , AND AT TIMES LUNCHES INTO GEAR . THIS HAS CAUSED HONKNING AT US AND HARZARDOUS CONDITIONS, ESPECIALLY WHEN CHANGING LANES ON THE FREEWAY. THERE IS A LOUD INTERMITENT CLUNK WHEN TURNING CORNERS, BACKING UP, AND STOPPING. THERE IS AN APPARENT LACK OF POWER WHEN THE GEARS SHIFTS IN THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. ALSO, THERE IS VIBRATION WHEN BACKING UP WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER ON. WE HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE IN THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES AND MOSTLY GET A SONG AND DANCE ROUTINE FROM THE DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID THAT EVERYTHING WE WERE EXPERIENCING WAS NORMAL OR DUE TO THE COMPUTER DESIGN OR EMISSION STANDARDS. THIS IS VERY DIFFICULT TO ACCEPT SINCE I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR 50 YEARS AND HAVE NEVER ENCOUNTERED ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE. TOYOTA HAS AT THIS POINT NOT BEEN ABLE TO RESOLVE ANY OF THESE ISSUES. HOWEVER, THEY DID REMOVE AND REPLACE THE GAS TANK TO ELIMINATE THE CLUNKING PROBLEM, AND I NOW KNOW ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT IT WAS NOT NECESSARY. THE CLUNKING IS STILL PRESENT. THIS CAR REACTS LIKE A VEHICLE WITH 200,000 MILES ON IT THAT IS IN DIRE., IT NEEDS F A TUNE UP AND MAJOR OVERHAUL. MY WIFE WAS INVOLVED IN A REAR END ACCIDENT 6 WEEKS AGO, AND NOW WE REALIZE THAT THIS MAY NOT HAVE OCCURRED IF THE CAR WOULD HAVE ACCELERATED PROPERLY. *AK

TOYOTA HAS TAKEN AN UNCONSCIABLE POSITION AGAINST A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS PROBLEM WITH THE 2007 CAMRY WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. THEY ADMITTED THE PROBLEM, WHICH THEY PREFERRED TO CALL A CONCERN EXISTING IN ALL 2007 CAMRY FOUR AND SIX CYLINDER VEHICLES. THE PROBLEM WAS A HESITATION, OR LAG, WHEN ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE. THIS OCCURSRRED AT LOW SPEEDS FROM A STOP, TURNING. LANE CHANGE, OR FORWARD MOVEMENT ABOUT 80% OF THE TIME. I HAVE BEEN BUYING CAMRYS AND AVALONS SINCE 1989 AND HAVE BEEN A SATISFIED CUSTOMER UNTIL THE PURCHASE OF THE 2007 CAMRY XLE, 4 CYLINDER WITH 5-SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. TOYOTA HAS OBVIOUSLY WEIGHED THE COST TO THEM OF CORRECTING THE PROBLEM AGAINST FINANCIAL LOSSES FROM SERIOUS ACCIDENT LAW SUITES. *AK

I SLOWED DOWN THE CAR AT THE END OF AN INTERSTATE EXIT RAMP TO CHECK FOR TRAFFIC AND THINKING I HAD ENOUGH TIME TO CROSS THE INTERSECTION I GAVE IT GAS AND GOT VERY LITTLE ACCELERATION. WHEN I PUSHED THE GAS TO THE FLOOR I STILL GOT NO MORE ACCELERATION. I WROTE THE TOYOTA SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO BRING IT IN AND RECEIVED THE RESPONSE THAT THEY WERE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, BUT AT THIS TIME THERE WAS NO SOLUTION SO DO NOT BRING THE CAR IN. IF THERE HAD BEEN MORE TRAFFIC IN THAT SITUATION IT WOULD HAVE CAUSED A WRECK. ACCELERATION IS ALSO VERY ERRATIC WHEN USING CRUISE CONTROL, GOING UP A SLIGHT HILL WILL CAUSE THE MOTOR TO RACE. ALSO, IT REQUIRES QUITE A LOT OF FORCE TO STOP THE CAR. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHEN DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH AND GREATER AND ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE, THE TRANSMISSION HESITATES. THE HESITATION OCCURS CONTINUOUSLY. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO DECELERATE TO 15 MPH AND THEN SPEED UP, THE VEHICLE FAILS TO ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY A DEALER WHO NOTICED THE FAILURE, BUT STATED THAT THERE WAS NO REMEDY. THE ENGINE SIZE AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 6,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE PARKING THE VEHICLE, THE GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR BECAME STUCK IN THE NEUTRAL POSITION. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS. THE VEHICLE WAS PUSHED AND THE PARKING BRAKE WAS APPLIED. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THE FAILURE AS THE FLANGE NUT COMING OFF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 1,550.

WHEN STARTING VEHICLE UP FROM A COLD IT REVS UP WHEN YOU PUT IT IN GEAR IT LARCHES FWD YOU HAVE TO APPLY THE BRAKES HARD TO STOP IT THEN THE REVVING GOES DOWN I ALSO GET THE ERRATIC CRUSE CONTROL WHEN USED THE SPED GOES UP AND DOWN CONSTANTLY SHIFTING 5-3 OVERSHOOTING THE SET SPEED TOYOTA SAYS THIS IS THE WAY THE MANUFACTURE DESIGNED THE CAR TO OPERATE
