2014 TOYOTA CAMRY Complaints

MY CAR HESITATES OFTEN. MOSTLY WHEN I AM STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION ABOUT TO TURN LEFT, IT HESITATES RIGHT WHEN I'M ABOUT TO TURN. IT HESITATES FOR APPROX 1-2 SECS. UNSURE WHY. BUT I DO LOOSE POWER AND CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY. I ONLY HAVE 15K MILES

FIRST, I DON'T OWN TOYOTA CAMRY, BUT EVERY TIME I DRIVE FOLLOWING BEHIND IT THAT BRAKE LIGHTS (LED) ARE SO BRIGHT THAT HURTS MY EYES AND MAKES MY VISION BLOTCHES FOR AWHILE. I BELIEVE THIS IS UNSAFE. I HOPE OUR GOVERNMENT CAN INVESTIGATE THIS AND SEE IF THOSE LED USED IN CAMRY COMPLIES SAFETY STANDARD.

ON A CITY STREET EITHER STATIONARY OR IN MOTION, OR ON HIGHWAY, WHEN PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL SUDDENLY BUT NOT 'FLOORING IT' THE CAR HESITATES AND THEN FEELS LIKE IT DOWNSHIFTS AND IS SLOW TO INCREASE SPEED.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: WE PURCHASED A NEW 2014 TOYOTA CAMRY FROM RELIABLE TOYOTA IN SPRINGFIELD, MO ON MARCH 21, 2014. SINCE THAT TIME WE HAVE HAD 3 INSTANCES WHERE THE VEHICLE WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOPPED POSITION WOULD NOT SHIFT PROPERLY. IT WOULD RACE IN FIRST GEAR, ONCE EXCEEDING 4,000 RPM'S. MY FOOT WAS OFF THE ACCELERATOR, AND I COULD ONLY USE THE BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN WHILE IT CONTINUED TO RACE. IN ALL *3 INSTANCES, MULTIPLE PEOPLE WERE IN THE CAR. ON TWO OF THESE OCCASIONS IT WAS DANGEROUS FOR US AS TRAFFIC CAME UP FAST BEHIND US. EACH TIME I RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND TOLD THEM WHAT HAD HAPPENED. THEY TRIED TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM WITHOUT SUCCESS. THEIR SOLUTION WAS TO SELL US A NEW CAR, THE LAST TIME WITH EXCESSIVE PRESSURE AND FOLLOWUP PHONE CALLS. WE HAVE HAD ALL OUR SERVICE DONE AT RELIABLE TOYOTA AND THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN DOCUMENTED. I CALLED THE TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER (DISPUTE SETTLEMENT PROGRAM) TO EXPLAIN THE PROBLEM, HOPING FOR SOME HELP. THEY INVESTIGATED THE PROBLEM AND CAME BACK WITH 'CONTINUE WORKING WITH YOUR DEALER RE:THE PROBLEM.' THEY HAD NO ANSWER WHEN I ASKED HOW SHOULD THIS BE DONE IF WE ARE IN TEXAS OR OHIO VISITING OUR ADULT CHILDREN OR WHEN MY WIFE IS DRIVING TO A FRIEND'S HOME AND THE TRANSMISSION RACES WITHOUT KNOWN CAUSE. THEIR ANSWER, 'CONTINUE WORKING WITH YOUR DEALER.' EVEN IF IT WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN HERE IN BRANSON, MO, WE ARE 30 MILES AWAY FROM RELIABLE TOYOTA. I CONTINUE TO BE CONCERNED FOR OUR SAFETY AND THE FEAR OF THIS HAPPENING AGAIN WHERE THE RESULTS COULD BE DEADLY. *NOVEMBER, 2014 WAS FIRST. JUNE 4, 2015 WAS SECOND. JULY 28, 2015 WAS LAST.

I AM WRITING TO NOTIFY YOU OF THE PROBLEMS I AM EXPERIENCING WITH MY 2014 TOYOTA CAMRY SE WITH VIN NUMBER [XXX] AND TO REQUEST THAT YOU CORRECT THIS PROBLEM WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS OF YOUR RECEIPT OF THIS LETTER. I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE FROM SPARKS TOYOTA IN CONWAY, SC ON DECEMBER 31, 2013. APPROXIMATELY TWO MONTHS THREE PURCHASING, I BEGAN HAVING TROUBLE WITH A RATTLING NOISE COMING FROM THE ROOF OF MY CAR.

I REQUESTED TO SPEAK TO THE OWNER BUT NEVER GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO TALK WITH HIM. I LEFT MY TELEPHONE NUMBER AND NEVER GOT A RETURN CALL.
