Hesitation upon acceleration. happens every time. *tr
I recently bought a brand new toyota solara 2007 in april 2007. since then i have brought my car to the toyota dealer for more then 5 times in 3 months for the same defect. but they cannot repair it. i realized that the vehicle hesitate on acceleration on all occasion. whenever i make a turn (let or right turn) the car will "pause" and lost in power, lost of transmission for seconds. the car simply "retarded" and simply roll on the road without transmission control...whenever i need to step on gas to escape from a situation on the freeway, the car again will "pause" and hesitate, i regard that the car is "retarded". it simply lost in transmission during that short pause, i felt so dangerous on the road with such defaulted vehicle. i read on the compliant from nhtsa and surprise to find that there are so many of the camry owner are facing the same problem. the toyota solara is also a camry breed, hence i think these amount of complaints shoud warrant the government to act against the toyota manufacturer to do a recall and repair. i am very disappointed with toyota, i hope i will not be disappointed with nhtsa to start doing something good for us the consumer with all these complaints. sincerely. *tr
Merging onto the freeway into fast-moving traffic, the car hesitated for several seconds before it downshifted and started to accelerate. on-coming cars had to brake and honked at me. that can be a dangerous situation. *jb
Merging onto the freeway into fast-moving traffic, the car hesitated for several seconds before it downshifted and started to accelerate. on-coming cars had to brake and honked at me. that can be a dangerous situation. the car also hesitates when just slowing down to turn a corner. it takes 5 to 10 seconds for the car to accelerate. *tr
1.twice within 1st year: the car accelerated quickly while i was driving on the road; it was hard to stop. i thought the floor mat was under the gas pedal. later, the car suddenly revved up and accelerated as i was leaving a parking lot. after i took my foot off of the gas, it kept increasing speed. nothing was in the way of the pedal that time. i was able to gain control. (the service tech told me the experience i relayed to him was not possible.) still, the car accelerates by itself, most recently three days ago. i had it set at 60 mph on cruise control. it wouldn't stay at 60. i had to decrease the cruise speed 3 or 4 times. i routinely have to manually reduce the cruise control speed by bumping the lever down. i have become used to this malfunction. toyota employees denied a defect and refused to repair the faulty parts. during the first 18 months, i took my car in approximately 20 times. no repairs were made. 2.rain enters above the driver's side window. odi id number:10242104 has been established because of the same complaint on the same make and model. 3.the right front tire had to be replaced twice during the first 6 months i had the car because the tires in that position damaged quickly for no legitimate cause. i had to buy a whole set of tires before the car had 18,000 miles on it because they were wearing so badly that they were unsafe. this coincides with odi id number:10269039 citing the same problems on another 07 solara convertible. 4.the soft top has unraveled in two places above the front windshield at the seam where it is sewn together. toyota's response has varied from: nothing wrong with it, i must have damaged it, and it isn't covered under warranty. 5.the electronic seat stuck. it was left in a forward position (as if to allow access to the back seat). the tech said the car didn't have power seat functions. i told him i'd paid for one on my itemized bill and i'd been using it. unrepaired, it resumed working by itself weeks later. *tr
I'm having the same problem with my solara. it hesitates all the time going around corners, highway acceleration is terrible. i talked to toyota about this issue and they are no help. they have posted a bulletin to kind of fix the same issue with the v6 solara, and the camry. they have nothing for the 4 cyl. they keep telling me that the cars transmission is responding the way it should be. something needs to be done about this. i keep taking it back to the dealership for them to reset the transmission back to the factory settings, but that only lasts for a week or two then its back to the hesitating. *jb
