    I'd like to file a complaint related to toyota's refusal to respond to their 2007 camry le, 4 cylinder hesitation problems. Symptoms include (1) poor acceleration, (2) hesitation when accelerating (3) "automatic" shifting of the transmission when driving with cruise control on flat roads and (4)poor gas mileage. The hesitation is very dangerous; pulling out out in front of other vehicles or merging into trafic could…

    My 2007 camry le automatic transmission (4 cylinder) constantly hesitates when pulling out into intersections, or continuing through an intersection after red lights or stop signs. There have been several close calls when vehicles have had to move around mine to avoid a collision. The vehicle halts at 10-30 mph when it's shifting and continually places my family in harms way. The dealership told me that this is…

    I noticed shortly after purchasing my new 2007 toyota camry that the car hesitated on acceleration. I originally thought that it was because it was new. I also own a 1993 camry, which has never given us a problem. Besides gas and oil changes this car still runs well. Had i known that this newer model was going to be scary to drive i would have never purchased it. Like so many others, i was told by the dealer that…

    The "design" of how the vehicle is to operate and driving performance issues. Poor acceleration, hesitation, automatic shifting of the transmission when driving. Gas mileage is not as manufacturer stated. Front tires wore out at 15k miles. Per the dealership no front end problems found and do not know why the tires wore out so quick while the back tires are still good. Constant pulling of the vehicle. If i hit a…

    When using the cruise control then speed fluctuates on slight grades and the car suddenly downshifts to 4th and sometimes to 3rd this is alarming and should not do this > toyota says this is normal my other 4 cyl 2002 camry did not do this. *nm

    Vehicle hesitates while acceleration at about 20-40 mph. Then the car jerks forward. This is dangerous if you need to move right away.

    I purchased a 2007 toyota camry le on late april of 2006. Since then, i have experienced numerous times the presence of acceleration problem. Vehicle hesitates when pressing the gas pedal at low speeds. When pressing the pedal all the way, the car "sits" on the road at the current speed, and after a few seconds, it kicks forward. This is very dangerous when driving in traffic, which for me is everyday living in the…

    When car is accelerated from dead stop, as car passes 20 mph, the car surges, hunts for gear, upshifts and downshifts wildly and sporadically, lurching and over-revving to 5,000 rpm or higher. Car cannot be safely driven. Had to be towed for service. *nm

    Cruise does not maintain speed while going down grade. Accelerating from lower speeds or a standing start is preceded by a distinct hesitation that is a potential driving hazard. *nm
