problem #2

Mar 302007

Camry 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 39,394 miles
While driving in heavy rain A/C button started flashing and all windows fogged up. I took it to the dealership 3-31-07, they performed diagnosis and replaced A/C magnetic clutch relay. Next heavy rain on April 14, 2007, the ac/button started flashing and all windows fogged up. I took the car to the dealership and they found the clutch assembly shorting when wet. Replaced clutch assembly. In August, during a heavy rain, the A/C button started flashing and all windows fogged up. I took the car to the dealership and they said the A/C belt was not tight. They tighten the A/C belt and said if it happened again, the belt would have to be replaced. Today, October 15, 2007, the same thing happened. I haven't taken it to the dealership because I don't think they can fix the problem.

Camry 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission

V6 engine, 5 speed transmission'; return true;" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true;">automatic transmission'; return true;" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true;">automatic transmission'; return true;" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true;">automatic transmission. vehicle fails to accelerate for several seconds after the accelerator is pressed following a stop. Appears to happen after a quick rolling stop and when the air conditioner having to work. Car is unpredictable, it will start moving after the accelerator is pressed in these circumstances. This can cause an accident due to the unpredictable nature of throttle hesitation. Car also hunts for gears at slower speeds causing uncomfortable ride as the car lurches forward at unpredictable times after the accelerator is pressed. Vehicle has been taken to the service department of the dealer the car was purchased from. I was told this was a problem with all the V6 Camry's which the dealer could not fix. I was asked to bring the car in for further testing, which I did, but nothing has been done to attempt to fix the vehicle. The vehicle jerked the consumer around as gears where shifted. The consumer stated that the vehicle searches for the right gear while traveling at low speeds.
