Transmission is feeling very jerky after 5000 miles. Holding on to low gears way too long. I'm doing 40 mph and the RPM is over 3500. The transmission seems to keep missing gears. Constantly downshifting. Mileage has surprisingly gone down. Even on the highway when im doing 65+ its struggling to find gears and keeps downshifting.

When the car in the low speed around 20 miles/hour and the engine around 2000rpm, the transmission is wired trying to find specified gear, make the car speed increased and decreased, it like jerk the car. Another problem is when you trying to speed up catch up cars speed from lower speed on highway, press the gas pedal, the car just like thinking the life philosophy the RPM reach 4000 the car suddenly speed up.

2018 Toyota Camry has bad transmission since the 1 St week of having this car it has been giving me problems it slams into gear sometimes, it hesitates when stepping on the gas like it doesn't know weather to go or not it jerks like it cant find which gear to go into the car is really bad and I cant seem to get any help from Toyota they told me to keep driving maybe the car needs to get use to my driving. They told me its a 4 cylinder that's how they drive. They told me I should drive it manual mode. Im just fed up.

Car is hesitating/sluggish when accelerating from a stop/rolling stop. Takes forever to get to highway speeds, which is extremely dangerous. When there is traffic on a highway, changing lanes into a lane in which traffic is going faster is extremely hard due to fear being rear-ended. Car struggles to get from 0-45 and will only do so when the accelerator is stepped down all the way. Transmission shifts are very jerky. Seems like the transmission doesn't know what gear to be in 90% of the time. All these symptoms appear to be in only the 4 cylinder model of the 2018 Camry.

The transmission in the 2018 xse V6 is junk. It is jerky on acceleration (like driving a manual transmission) and when shifting from 1st to 2nd the shifts are hard, and clunky. Even worse when cold. When coming to a stop, the shift from 2nd to 1st happens with a huge thud. Had dealer take a look and they told me nothing was wrong after hooking it up to their computers. Pretty disappointed in the way this brand new car drives. Major hesitations when accelerating. Causes entire car to jerk until the motor smooths out. This loyal Toyota owner for over 30 years is strongly thinking about switching brands. 5K miles on car.

The powertrain is very rough at low speed. When pedal is pumped slowly the gear changes with a thud and jerking. This feels worse than a manual gear car. The car drove around 7500miles. Complaint the dealership and they notified it may be due to car computer issue.

2018 Camry xse V6 - if the car is not fully warmed up and you accelerate from a stop, the shift from 1st to 2nd gear is very rough. It is more pronounced if you are accelerating up a hill. The only way to get rid of the rough 1st to 2nd gear shift before the car is fully warmed up is to apply excessive throttle.

I purchased brand new 2018 Camry SE November 2017 about a week after purchase I noticed the car shifts into gear roughly and jerks a lot when driving similar to driving a manual transmission car so I attempted to contact the salesman who sold me the car only to get the runaround about who to talk to finally when I took my car in they checked all 20 something computers on the car and said they saw no errors being reported went for a test drive nothing so they sent me on my way car was still doing the same thing so I tried a different Toyota dealer left the car all day they checked systems said it was updated and that I probably need to drive the car more so it can get acclimated with my driving so I had this car for 3 months and it still does the same thing hesitation when stepping on the gas, revs up pretty high before switching gears, hard shifts into gears, and jerking excessively this car so far has been a nightmare im very unsatisfied with my new car purchase

The car has acceleration/speed problems. The car has only 200 miles, took it in te highway and takes too long to reach highway speed. It rarely reaches and stays at lower speed. Like others it seems this Camry will have a lot rear-end accidents due to the lack of speed performance. I feel scare to drive this car, too difficult to change lanes, too difficult to keep up with traffic. If cars are approaching at highway speed and you are changing lines you more than likely will end up rear- end. It took me two and a half hours to complete a 1 hour trip due to lack of speed, car not responding and fear of getting rear-end by other cars who were hurning because car wouldn't speed up. Car is too unsafe. I don't know what happened to Toyota. Worst car ever.

The transmission clunks when the lower forward transmission gear engages when accelerating on to the highway. This transmission defect can also be described as a thud that gives the driver the impression the Camry transmission will fail should the driver continue to apply pressure on the accelerator pedal.

I purchased my vehicle about I month a go the problem is when I slow down to around 5 mph and then hit the gas to go again the car picks up speed super slowly and it I hit the accelerator hard the transmission jerks really hard almost like someone is hitting me from the back, I took it to Toyota they keep saying the car is just fine. Worst choice ever iam never buying Toyota again I drove a 2015 Camry much better then the [xxx] 2018 Camry they said it's better but I say it's cheaper and probably won't be as reliable as it's older version.. it suck to drive in the city, also the engine is super loud.
