Description of the problem | My 2009 camry accelerates suddenly on city streets. There have been several sudden accelerations on turns. My car suddenly accelerated during a right turn and i nearly jumped the curb (twice) take off is not smooth since it temporarily stalls and then suddenly jerks out at a higher speed. The brake petal, steering wheel and car floor all vibrate and the engine makes clunking noises. My car has less than 5,000 miles on it. The petals shift and make clunking noises like wooden clogs. This past month, the passenger cabin smells with gas fumes as the car operates. After the recall, i discovered that i was lied to by the dealer and my car was not made in japan as i was told at the time of sale. |
