My 2019 has an acceleration delay issue. I have taken it in to get it checked, and Toyota says that it checks out according to their standards. However, the issue has never gone away, and I have had to learn how to drive and accommodate this severe and dangerous safety issue. When I press the acceleration pedal, there is a delay when I'm at a complete stop or in the low gears. I try to make sure that I do not get into a situation where I may need to accelerate quickly to avoid an accident, and I pray that I never find myself needing to accelerate quickly. Unfortunately, it's been an ongoing issue, and Toyota does not recognize it nor offer to fix it.

Transmission issue. Almost getting rear ended because the 8 speed transmission can-??t find a gear to go in without almost tearing itself apart. Time after time, this transmission jerks, hesitates, lurches, and hunts for a gear to go into. I-??m getting really scared that it-??s going to cause an accident.

Transmission shifts extremely jerky. Sometimes it seems like it shifts too early or too late. I don-??t feel like this transmission is acting like it should at all. The dealership says that it-??s normal but I-??ve never had a car drive this way

Since day one of buying my 2019 Toyota Camry XSE, I-??ve noticed a hesitation when taking off from a complete stop. When you press the gas, theirs a delay then a jerk.

Had fuel pumped replaced in Aug 2020 on my 2019 Toyota Camry XSE out of precaution due to a recall. Fast forward to today Aug. 2022, I have had issues the last week & a half. Iv Taken my car into Toyota dealership 3 times and they still can-??t figure out the problem. When starting my car, it stalls, sputters, vibrates, and or dies after a few seconds, as well as every warning light going off, and very low mpg when it is drivable. At one point I was getting 7mpg and car wouldn-??t go above 15mph. I told Toyota I believed it was due to a bad fuel pump, they told me it was replaced 2 yrs ago, therefore that can-??t be the issue. I mention that maybe they replaced my fuel pump w/an original fuel pump rather than the newer fuel pump that was suppose to correct the problem. The mechanics response was -??it-??s possible-??. Still w/o a car to drive while toyota tries to figure out the problem. A couple days prior they said it was fixed, picked up my car and as soon as I pulled out onto the main road, my car started to vibrate and sputter again. Hoping this time they will at least check to see if it is indeed the fuel pump.

My Toyota Camry LE with the 8speed at times will jump in and out of gear, and it has really bad reacceleration lag. This lag in acceleration has at times almost caused accidents while merging onto the interstate and while pulling out into traffic.

- Dunnor, KY, USA

My issue is with acceleration of the car from the start and sometimes driving at lower speeds. There's a significant lag when you step on the acceleration and then it just gets activated and car starts accelerating rapidly. It seems that the transmission can't keep up with the accelerator. Also there's a vibration coming from transmission between speeds of 40-50 mph, in general I want to say that it runs a bit rough.

- Orland Park, IL, USA

I recently purchased a 2019 Camry LE with 18k miles, I-??ve noticed many instances of poor acceleration, struggling to find gears, very jerky shifting when coasting and re accelerating. I was attempting to pass a vehicle on a 2-way highway on which I had more than enough time and distance to pass, but as I merged to pass the transmission felt like it didn-??t know what gear to be in and I could not accelerate and I had to slam on my brakes and quickly jump back into my original lane to avoid being hit by a super duty pickup. Had a service advisor tell me it-??s a common issue with these transmission and they pointed to a couple other models with the same issues only to then be told by someone else that it-??s a -??characteristic-?? of the transmission, this is a major safety concern. Under no circumstances should a problem that almost got me killed be called a -??characteristic-??, this is a serious issue that I wish I was told about when purchasing my car. Extremely disappointed, I-??m too scared to drive this car because of a close call I had within 150 miles of my purchase. Something needs to be done, as I-??ve noticed many other similar complaints that almost got other people hurt or killed.

Firstly I have experienced some weird behavior when accelerating from a stop and the vehicle quickly ramped up the rpm over 5k without shifting at all until correcting itself at the speed I was desiring. I wasn't stepping hard on the pedal at all and was just trying to get to 30 mph. Additionally I experienced some hard shifting when accelerating abruptly as well. Making the acceleration not very smooth when passing someone in high speed traffic.

UNKNOWN and my incident and cause for my 2019 toyota camry will goes as the same other people description issues with 2019 Toyota Camry

- Sacramento , CA, USA

There is always a huge delay when accelerating with this car which has to do something with the transmission. If you press your foot on the gas, it will jerk and delay then take off. If you have to quickly accelerate to avoid a crash, you are not going to be able to since the car keeps doing this. I had a car speed towards me and I needed to get out of the way, but this delayed my acceleration and jerked. Luckily the other car braked and my car moved away enough after the delay to avoid any crash. This needs to be fixed on the 2019 models.

The 2019 Toyota camry having issues with the transmission. When accelerating from a complete stop, the transmission hesitate for a few seconds before it jolts forward when shifting gears. it also does this when traveling at a higher speed. When I slow down approaching a red at 30mph, the light will turn green and when I try accelerating it jerks pretty bad. Another thing I've experienced is the car shaking or rattling while drive early in the morning. always happens between 630-700am. Ive gone to Toyota and they said the car have to get used to me driving.

I was in the drive thru queue at burger king and I had the brake hold activated, waiting for my turn. The car just vibrated and shut down. I tried to start it again it never started. On the dash it said coolant temp high, charging system malfunction, drive start control malfunction, brake override malfunction. I thought I needed antifreeze so I walked to sunoko to buy one. Tried to put some in but antifreeze was full so I couldn't top up. The antifreeze is in the trunk. I tried to get a jump thinking it was the battery but it still didn't start. I towed to Toyota and now they're telling me the computers are not communicating right with each other. My gas says 65535mi distance to empty. My car is been sitting at the dealership for a week now and they didn't give me a loaner car even though I have warranty on it.

I was making a left turn (from a stop sign) out of my neighborhood and the car hesitated then, all of a sudden it rev'd up, and shot forward. I'm sure the neighbors thought I was hot rodding. This happened again on a separate day when I was waiting to turn left at a traffic light. There was a pickup truck coming from the opposite direction, but he was far enough away, so I gave it some gas to start my turn. My car hesitated and I thought the pickup was going to hit me, but then my car rev'd up and lunged forward as previously. I thought that maybe it had something to do with making left turns, but one day I was driving about 40 mph on a 45 mph level road and I gave it gas to increase my speed to 45 ---- the same thing happened ---- hesitation, rev'd up, lunged forward. It still does it, but I'm trying to be very careful driving it because I don't know if I'm going to be the next traffic fatality, or worse, cause someone else to be killed or maimed. I also told the service rep when I took my car in for regular maintenance and asked if they could check it. He told me they had checked it and it's okay. I looked at the service report but, I couldn't find where they had checked it. I started looking for info via the internet on this problem and found other sites that had people complaining about it. So, the next regular maintenance I took my car in for, I mentioned it to the service rep and told him about all the complaints I've read concerning this problem of hesitation, etc. I said it seems that it must be normal for this car and that's why the mechanic said it was okay. He agreed that it's normal for this car, but I have nothing in writing that he said that or that the problem was even checked. You never know when it will happen. It happens in all three driving modes. Check: Https://www.cargurus.com/cars/discussion-M7_ds895703

My car, since the purchase at 51 miles, is constantly not accelerating when I push the gas. I have taken it to allen Toyota, 11 July 2020, where they stated there was a known issue with calibration. The calibration was completed, but the car is still doing the same thing. Once the car has been in park and stationary for a few hours, it is awful when taking off because the car jerks and acts as if it will turn off. The car now is jerking when driving on the interstate at 70 mph daily. This is dangerous since I cannot depend on the car to speedup when and as needed and I'm afraid it my stall and cause an accident.

- Ocean Springs, MS, USA

In stop and go traffic, traveling at slow speeds with ac on in the middle of summer, if changing to a faster lane, having the gas floored, the car wouldn't accelerate/down shift that lasted about 5-10 seconds before it accelerated. One time, a car that was two cars in front of me pulled out and he was gone, while I was still sitting there with no acceleration and another car quickly approaching from the rear! I was told that others were complaining about these issues, they felt the problem but it is normal operations for the 4 cyl Camry's, that the transmission is computer controlled, and there wasn't anything they could do until Toyota put out a mod for the computer. They said Toyota should have something out soon with all the complaints, but it has been almost a year and no repair available.
