Lag and hesitation when going to full throttle on the gas pedal. It hesitates for a second and then finally grabs on to accelerate. It has done this since I purchased it but was hoping it would work itself out eventually, but this hasn't happened. Toyota did a tsb software update for the 4 cylinder but not the V6.

When I put the car in reverse and then in forward the car jerks. When I'm driving the car at lower speeds and my foot is not on the gas pedal and then I press the gas pedal the car feels like it's going to stall, or shifts down or up jerky like it skips gears or it can't decide what gear it should be in. I understand there is a technical service bulletin to resolve this issue that Toyota is aware of. The bulletin recommends that dealers reprogram the PCM module. The bulletin is tsb #T-sb-0330-17. The dealer won't reprogram because it's nit a recall issue.

While driving, with or without cruise control on the freeway, the transmission is extremely jerky. Any sort of incline seems to highlight the issue even further! I have taken it to the dealer, only for them to tell me nothing is wrong. But what would I know, even though I drive it 110 miles a day. The problem has also occurred from takeoff from a stop sign or stop light. The RPM's want to jump and the pedal is very touchy. I really hate the transmission jerking this hard when I'm driving 75-80 on the interstate. I also didnt want to pay this much for the Camry, which I hold in high regard, only for this to continue happening on a daily basis. I had it looked at with around 6K miles and now I have 13K on the car, with zero improvement. Toyota, please acknowledge and fix this issue for all owners experiencing this problem!

- New Harmony, IN, USA

The car hard shifts about 30 miles per hour... seems to always be searching for the correct gear, some lag time when accelerating. The problems seem to start about 5K-8K miles. The first time, the dealer said to switch to premium gas, the problem got progressively worse. The dealer is replacing the transmission; however, it is on back order and it may take 4 weeks to get the new transmission. Dealer is also unaware of any problems with the transmission on the 2018 Camry.

- The Colony, TX, USA

I have had constant problems with my 2018 Camry since purchasing May 2018. My car is always jerking as I accelerate and when I'm driving in town, feels like I'm getting rear-ended and hesitating on highway when I have to accelerate into traiffic which is very dangerous when the car won't get up and go. I have had it to the dealer several times. They reset the computer because it can save settings from previous drivers. That didn't help. They told me that it's a different transmission and it takes few seconds for the computer to communicate back to transmission. This is a very unsafe feature. The car is super loud and rough feeling with the tires. I feel like I'm driving an old vehicle from the 80's. the entune app has constant issues of not loading or recognizing my phone. Tire pressure light comes on all the time and pressure tests fine at dealer. Maintenance light comes on every 5000 miles for tire check and oil only needs changed 10000. Maintenance light should be separate from oil change so you know which one needs done.

Car cannot seem to determine which gear it should be in. When in stop and go traffic on freeway and pedal is not depressed, car lurches forward and a clunk is heard as the vehicle downshifts. Clunking sound is made worse in cold, humid, or cloudy weather. In the streets, when turning a corner and hitting the gas, there is a noticeable lag (about 2 seconds) until the car jerks forward and increases speed. If you want to pass someone you need to be very careful because the car can suddenly lurch forward and a higher speed than intended, or not accelerate at all. When car automatically brakes for you to avoid a collision, a loud rattling noise is heard and felt throughout cabin when depressing pedal, with most of the noise concentrated in the area under the hood of car.

Transmission has a very dangerous delay. Doesn't respond when you press the pedal when accelerating from a stop then suddenly reacs. When switching lanes and merging into highway ive had the car not respond when pressing the pedal causing me to almost get rear ended multiple times. Toyota please do something for everyone having this problem !!!!! not a safe car

- Ocoee, FL, USA

Car is often jumpy after accelerating from a complete stop or accelerating after slowing down. I will push the gas pedal down, and there will be a slight delay before the car selects the proper gear, often resulting in the car lurching forward. This only happens in town, not on the highway, and seems to happen more often after turning. And it doesn't happen all the time, but enough for me to take notice after having the car for a month.

- Clive, IA, USA

Transmission hesistating on take off and when changing to another forward speed. Has happened about 2 - 3 times a week

- Burlington, NC, USA

While driving, car has problem selecting the right gear. I was driving and I decelerate not to a complete stop and them try to accelerate again that when I notice car has struggle to select the proper gear. Car does not accelerate for about 2 second before a rough fast start through 2 or 3 gear, them the proper gear is selected.

On December 6, 2018, I purchased a 2018 Camry with 65 miles. I am writing to you regarding my accelerator pedal problem. This letter also documents the second incident with the accelerator pedal. The first incident occurred in a parking lot and left me stranded for 4 hours and then without a car for a day. The second incident occurred while I was making a right turn in traffic and the car issued a master warning light, a warning buzzer, and a message on the multi-information display that quickly disappeared. Something is wrong with the accelerator control system or pedal itself. This is a safety issue. The following information is provided to help diagnose and fix the problem. On the fourth incident, I have a video that clearly shows there is an accelerator problem. In three of the four incidents, I was backing up in "R" and noticed there was no accelerator pedal, placed car in "D" and still no accelerator pedal than it would just go. If the car is unable to accelerate either in a turn or in any situation, than an accident or death could occur. Currently car is at a Toyota dealer. Toyota did nothing on the first two visits, as there were "no codes" and would do nothing unless a code was present. I provided them with a video of the fourth incident and it seems they might be a bit more interested.

The transmission has harsh shifts. Multiple times coming through the city with stop signs it will have a delay and jerk when I start to go again. Some times when I go to cross an intersection there will be a delay which is very dangerous if I'm crossing while yielding to oncoming traffic. I took to the dealer where they started its functioning as it should according to the computers and recommended I used the different modes for better shifting. I would like the better fuel economy and shouldn't have to put it in sport mode for it to somewhat shift better. Even in sport mode it still can't figure out what gear it should be in. I was told it needs to learn my driving pattern but at 10K miles I'm still have ing the issue. If it wasn't a new car I would say the transmission was going bad with how jerky the car can be at times. Very disappointing.

The issues that I have with the power train is that when the car slows down & has to accelerate quickly or when you come to a complete stop & take off the car hesitates to go. It somewhat stalls & is very dangerous especially in city traffic trying to cross a busy street & then you stall with oncoming traffic coming towards you!! you can sometimes press the gas pedal to the floor & it still won't take off like it should & then when it catches the car jerks & then accelerates. Crazy huh? I don't like it. I have taken my car back to the dealership 3 times & every time they say it's the way the new transmission is made in the 2018 models & it's nothing they can do. But it happens everyday at some point of my driving trip. This is a very dangerous issue & Toyota needs to fix the problem & take this serious before someone really gets hurt. With the visibility or wipers, when it rains really hard the visibility is terrible...wipers on high & defrost on it's still just terrible!! Toyota we can do better than this now!!

This is my third Toyota car that I buy as a brand new car and I was so excited about grtting a 2018 Camry SE but am very disspoint it with this situation man so this is whats happening to the car the vehicle has issues with the transmission there are times when the car can't seem to decide what gear to pick and when to engage it resulting in a second or two of dead acceleration once the vehicle decides what to do, it sends an excessive amount of power to the wheels with unintended acceleration rates. This has been an issue since I bought the car so please let me know what we can do because I dont like how this brand new transmission works. 2.the second pronlem is that that car start shaking when am going over 70 miles per hour on the highway and I know exactly that is not with balance and not alighnmrnt because idont feel the steering wheel shaking I fell the shaking is comming from the engine I can guaranteed U that is coming from there because when I stop accelareting it goes away but once I accelerate again starts that vibration again so Toyota needs to be more specific and making sure that they're customer are 100%% happy with their car and stop testing this brand news platform with the people money because I can telk U that at least 40 percent of the people they are regreting of buying this car just because this kinda of problem so I wish theres a remedy tgat Toyota it might xonsidering to fix this inds of problem which I hate about it St all

I live in MA, apon a early November sleet my car dash lit up like a christmas tree. Disabling my anti crash system with lights going and not being able to see I almost crashed. I made an appointment for six month service at 3850 miles on car set for day after vacation. I took car in to Toyota. Explained problems and told them transmission is rough. They came back to me telling me there is a recall for transmission.. I left car at hyannis Toyota expecting to receive car back that day. Service rep called me at 530 telling me that since the day I drove off the lot there are 9 pages of defaults. Claiming driver errors. First it's a recall, but later in day driver error. I am 60 years old and this is my 5th lease with them. I do know how to drive and on cape cod in summer I sit in traffic most of the time. The situation with sleet was driving about 20mph on local streets. That was explained by service rep that sensors are sensitive and dirt, heavy rain and snow can cause anti crash systems to deactivate. And all you have to do is turn engine off and apon restart the system will reactivate itself.between the transmission self acclaimed recall and now called driver error. When you need anti crash system, the odds of it not working are pretty good as explained by service rep. I just want my can repaired and safe.the date is approx

Transmission jerks and cant seem to find the correct gear. If you come to a stop then try to change lanes the transmission cant seem to find the correct gear. I almost got into a crash because of it Toyota should recall and update the software before someone dies or gets hurt!! also the transmission jerks into gears it makes for a crap ride.

- Marietta, GA, USA

The way the car handles is horrible. When I slow down it speeds up and when I take off from a light it doesnt seem to want to go my rmp hits about 4 before it smooths out. I sware other cars think I want to race. I did advice the sales men when he asked what I thought about the car and he said because of a new modle of transmission. I do not like the way the car shakes and feels like its going to cut off. It is fine on the high way. I am just diappointed in my purchace and for the first time out of all 5 Toyota ive had that I wish I wouldnt have bought it. I was fine in my 2012 wish I would have kept it.

This car has a very jerky transmission. On an intermittent basis when I'm slowing down to a stop, the transmission can't decide what gear to go in and a vibration occurs and lunges the car forward a bit. In these cases, I have to push the brake harder to avoid hitting the car in front of me, which has nearly happened a couple times now. In addition to this shaking that can be felt throughout the car and through the steering wheel, there have been a couple of occasions where the car has nearly stalled on me as well when coming to a stop on a round-about in which I needed to accelerate right after. This random unpredictable behavior makes it very difficult to safely operate this car and avoid hitting the car in front of me or getting rear-ended, especially when in stop-and-go traffic. I can tell it's a transmission issue, because when I shift the transmission into "neutral" and come to a stop, the issue never happens. I took it to the Toyota dealership last week, since I purchased it brand new and it now has only 1500 miles on it. They spent a day on it and told me they don't know how to fix it, since it's intermittent and they were only able to reproduce it once or twice after a long test-drive. They've heard others complain about the transmission on the new 2018 Camry's though as well, so it's possible Toyota knows about this. After reading online, I can see that many others are running into the exact same issue I am.

My vehicle will stall after a rolling stop. The transmission also shutters when I am in stop and go traffic. It will randomly shutter when I am driving down the highway. It also jerks quite often.

- Gainesville, VA, USA

Takata recall. I am having issues with the transmission. Since the day first day I noticed that the transmission jerks, can't find it's gear and stalls. I have had several near accidents due to the transmission not responding the way it should. Especially during bumper/bumper traffic. At low speeds the transmission can't find it's gear. Tends to upshift and when you need to accelerate it might take a few seconds before it goes and everyone knows that a few seconds is an eternity (especially when trying to change lanes and there is a car coming).
