My 2004 Camry, v6 has had a hesitation since I first purchased it. The hesitation happens after stopping a signs or when trying to accelerate to merge into traffic. Twice I have taken it to the dealer and was told it was something with the brain that sends information from throttle sensor to the transmission. The service tech stated that it was just the v6's and the 2004 cars that have this problem, until more people complain no repairs or recalls will be made.
