2000 TOYOTA CAMRY Complaints

ENGINE INDICATION LIGHT WOULD FLASH WHILE TRAVELING. VEHICLE WAS SERVICED, TECHNICIAN NOTICED GAS FILLER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.*AK

WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE (PRESSING GAS PEDAL), VEHICLE WILL NOT SPEED UP FOR SEVERAL SECONDS, AND THEN IT ABRUPTLY LUNGES FORWARD AT AN INCREASED SPEED, POSING A SAFETY HAZARD. THIS HAS HAPPENED REPEATEDLY STARTING WITHIN A COUPLE OF DAYS OF BUYING THE CAR. THIS IS PARTICULARLY CONCERNING WHEN DRIVING ON AN EXPRESSWAY RAMP. THUS I HAVE BEEN AVOIDING DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY. ALSO, THE BRAKES WORK ABNORMALLY. THERE WAS EXCESSIVE VIBRATION, JERKINESS, AND BRAKE SENSITIVITY. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER WITHIN 5 DAYS OF PURCHASE AND SUBSEQUENTLY RETURNED IT 4 MORE TIMES. THEY ONLY ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THE ROTORS WERE WARPED AND RESURFACED THEM. OTHERWISE, THEY DENY THERE IS ANY OTHER PROBLEM. THEY BLAMED THE ACCELERATION PROBLEM ON THE A/C BEING TURNED ON. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM PERSISTS REGARDLESS TO WHETHER THE ACCESSORIES ARE TURNED ON OR OFF OR HOW HIGH THEY ARE TURNED ON. *NLM
