Since the first month I purchased my 2005 4-cylinder Camry the acceleration pedal does not immediately engage and the transmission occasionally slips then makes contact for acceleration. Especially troublesome in tight areas such as parking lots where I have had close calls with other vehicles close to hitting me due to this hesitation. My Toyota dealer after about 4 - 5 visits have stated that since other Camry's in parking lot do the same, it is o. K. This is not acceptable since there have been times on turning left or right that transmission has slipped making it hard to move along. The dealership did replace a solenoid valve after continually badgering them and that didn't help. They say problem could be in computer box to transmission (that cannot be accessed by technicians) is set at factory and cannot be adjusted. All this computerized has made it difficult to make any corrections that a customer complains about. The other issue is the thumping noise on driver and passenger windows make when going down. Again they said that other Camry's do it, so it is fine. That is not a way to build a car. Both of these issues have been going on since the first month I purchased vehicle.
