VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL
I BOUGHT A 2008 CAMRY A FEW MONTHS AGO AND THE OTHER DAY MY CAR HESITATED TOO LONG WHEN TRYING TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND IT ALMOST GOT ME INTO AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE READ ON THE INTERNET ABOUT MANY OTHER PEOPLE EXPERIENCING SUCH HESITATION PROBLEMS WITH THE 2007/2008 CAMRY. I BROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT MY CAR IS AT THE CORRECT SPECIFICATIONS AND THAT IT SHOULD BE FINE. I'M SCARED TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND AM CONSIDERING TRADING IT IN FOR A DIFFERENT CAR. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I HAVE A 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY XLE WITH APPROXIMATELY 800 MILES. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE 2 WEEKS AGO, AND AM ALREADY GRAVELY CONCERNED WITH THE PERFORMANCE OF THE VEHICLE. ON TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 4TH I WAS MERGING INTO INTERSTATE TRAFFIC AND PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR FOR THE NECESSARY ACCELERATION I NEEDED TO STAY WITH THE FLOW, BUT THE CAR DID NOT RESPOND. THE ACCELERATOR WAS ALMOST TO THE FLOOR, YET THE CAR WAS ONLY COASTING. IT TOOK AT LEAST 2 FULL SECONDS FOR THE VEHICLE TO RESPOND AND IT FINALLY DID JERK TO LIFE, BUT ONLY AFTER 2 CARS HAD TO JUMP OUT OF MY WAY (HORNS HONKING). THIS DELAY IN RESPONSE TO ACCELERATION INPUT HAS HAPPENED CONSISTENTLY (DAILY), AND I'VE HAD TO MODIFY MY DRIVING HABITS TO REMAIN SAFE. EVEN WITH MY OWN MODIFICATIONS, I'M STILL VERY CONCERNED FOR MY OWN SAFETY AND FOR THE CARS AROUND ME AND OTHER CAMRY DRIVERS. SO FAR, NO RESOLUTION FROM THE DEALER, BUT I WILL NOT STOP HERE. *TR
