I HAVE EXPERIENCED SINCE THE DAY I BOUGHT IT WHERE I CAN BE DRIVING ALONG AND WHEN I SLOW DOWN, THE ENGINE WILL REV AND THE TACHOMETER WILL GO UP TO AROUND 4,000 RPM AND THEN WHAT SEEMS LIKE 30 SECONDS OR MORE, THE GEARS WILL FINALLY CATCH AND THE CAR WILL GO AND ALL THIS RESULTS IN A JERK LIKE REACTION GIVING ME A WHIPLASH FEELING. IT CAN HAPPEN AT ANY SPEED AND THE LATEST EXPERIENCE HAPPENED WHEN I WAS GOING AROUND 55 MPH, ON THE HIGHWAY WHICH WAS VERY FULL WITH TRAFFIC. IT WAS VERY FRIGHTENING NOT TO MENTION A MAIN CONCERN AS TO IF THE CAR WERE TO LOSE POWER, I WOULD HAVE TO SOMEHOW COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND WHERE I WAS THERE WASN'T MUCH ROOM TO PULL OVER.

PROBLEMS WITH HESITATION WHEN ACCELERATING. THE DEALERSHIP JUST BLEW ME OFF WHEN I EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM. ACTED AS IF THIS WAS NEVER A PROBLEM WITH CAMRYS. ALSO HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH STEERING COLUMN'S RADIO CONTROLS - WHEN PRESSING THE APPROPRIATE BUTTONS, NOTHING WOULD HAPPEN OR, WHEN SEEKING STATIONS THAT WERE PROGRAMMED IN, THE DOWN OR UP BUTTONS WOULD JUMP TO OTHER STATIONS NOT PROGRAMMED. SINCE THIS PROBLEM IS ERRATIC, NOTHING WAS DONE BY DEALER. PROBLEMS WITH THE OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE GAUGE - AT TIMES, IT WOULD TAKE 15-20 MINUTES BEFORE THE TEMPERATURE WOULD CHANGE TO THE CORRECT ONE. EXAMPLE: IT READ 77 DEGREES WHEN IT WAS ACTUALLY IN THE MID-90S. DEALERSHIP DID REPAIR THIS LAST SUMMER BUT NOW, IT IS READING SEVEN+ DEGREES OFF THE ACTUAL OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE. THE FINAL PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR IS THAT THE PAINT IS CHIPPING OFF OF THE FRAME AREA BELOW THE DOORS OF THE CAR. THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED WITH ANY PREVIOUS CAR I HAVE OWNED. DEALER ATTRIBUTED IT TO THE FACT THAT THIS CAR IS THE SPORT VERSION SO IT RIDES LOWER. FIRST TOYOTA I HAVE OWNED AND IT LOOKS LIKE IT MAY BE MY LAST. *TR

GOES BACK TO CRUISE CONTROL SPEED INSTEAD OF RESPONDING TO GAS PEDAL AND RAMS INTO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT. VEHICLE REVS UP AND DOWN FOR NO REASON WHEN IN CRUISE CONTROL EVEN WHEN TRAVELING ON FLAT TERRAIN/FREEWAY. COMPLAINTS TO LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER DID NOT HELP UNTIL THE ACCIDENT, DID AN UPGRADE TO THE SOFTWARE WHICH HAS HELPED BUT LITTLE, PROBLEM STILL REMAINS. *TR

THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY BEGAN TO ACCELERATE. I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL BUT THIS ONLY CAUSED THE ENGINE TO REV. I CONTINUED TO PRESS ON THE BRAKE PEDAL WITH A GREAT DEAL OF FORCE AND WAS EVENTUALLY WITH DIFFICULTY ABLE TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP EVEN THOUGH THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO BE REVVING VERY HIGH. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE. AFTER WAITING FOR A FEW SECONDS, I TURNED THE VEHICLE BACK ON AGAIN. THE ENGINE WAS STILL REVVING OUT OF CONTROL. I TURNED THE VEHICLE BACK OFF AND WAITED A FEW SECONDS THEN TRIED AGAIN. THE ENGINE WAS STILL REVVING VERY HIGH. ON THE THIRD OR FOURTH TRY OF THIS CYCLE, THE ENGINE FINALLY STARTED NORMALLY. I WAS THEN ABLE TO DRIVE AWAY AT A NORMAL SPEED. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A TOYOTA DEALER ON 6/18/09. THEY CHECKED IT WITH A SCAN TOOL AND DID A ROAD TEST BUT COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THIS WAS A ONE-TIME EVENT AND HAS NEVER HAPPENED AGAIN. THE DEALER SAID THAT THE PROBLEM WAS LIKELY CAUSED BY A FLOOR MAT BUT I FIND THIS SIMPLY IMPOSSIBLE TO BELIEVE. I CHECKED THE PEDALS AFTER STOPPING THE CAR AND THEY WERE NOT OBSTRUCTED IN ANY WAY. *TR

SINCE NEW THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION HESITATES WHEN THE CAR IS SLOWED TO ABOUT 20MPH AND WHEN YOU TRY TO ACCELERATE NOTHING HAPPENS FOR A FEW SECONDS BEFORE IT RESUMES. THE DEALER SAID THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT AND THAT'S THE WAY A "DRIVE BY WIRE" TRANSMISSION WORKS. I CALLED THE TOYOTA HOTLINE AND GOT NOWHERE. I SEEMS THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS COMPLAINT. THE INTERNET IS LOADED WITH DISSATISFIED OWNERS. I THINK TOYOTA SHOULD BE MADE TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I'VE BOUGHT AT LEAST TWENTY NEW TOYOTAS OVER THE YRS AND NEVER HAD A PROBLEM LIKE THIS. IT OCCURS ALL THE TIME. *TR

VEHICLE HESITATED AS I HAD ACCELERATED TO GO AROUND A TRUCK TO AVOID HITTING IT. THIS CAR HESITATES ABOUT 2 TO 3 SECONDS BEFORE TAKING OFF. WHEN CAR DOES TAKE OFF IT GOES TO FAST AND CAN MAKE A DRIVER LOSE CONTROL. THIS CAR ALSO SHAKES OR VIBRATE WHEN YOU ACCELERATE TO SPEEDS OF 60 TO 65MPH. STEERING IS A PROBLEM WHEN CAR HESITATE THEN TAKES OFF, THIS IS WHEN YOU CAN LOSE CONTROL. PASSING AND CHANGING LANES CAN BE A PROBLEM WHEN ACCELERATION IS NEEDED. THIS CAR CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS. THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THE SPEEDOMETER, I GUESS IT'S THE TRANSMISSION OR WHATEVER PART THAT CONTROLS THE CAR TAKE OFF SPEED. *TR

SPOKE WITH THE DEALER ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AS WELL AS TOYOTA MOTOR CORP AND WAS TOLD THAT IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH NO FIX. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY RISK AND SHOULD BE CORRECTED OR THE VEHICLE RECALLED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION. *TR

I ORIGINALLY THOUGHT THAT IT WAS BECAUSE IT WAS NEW. I ALSO OWN A 1993 CAMRY, WHICH HAS NEVER GIVEN US A PROBLEM. BESIDES GAS AND OIL CHANGES THIS CAR STILL RUNS WELL. HAD I KNOWN THAT THIS NEWER MODEL WAS GOING TO BE SCARY TO DRIVE I WOULD HAVE NEVER PURCHASED IT. LIKE SO MANY OTHERS, I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE. IT CONTINUES TO HESITATE WHEN YOU NEED TO ACCELERATE QUICKLY, IN REVERSE IT FLIES OUT OF THE GARAGE EVEN WHEN NOT PRESSING ON THE GAS...I REFUSE TO LET MY 16 YEAR OLD DRIVE IT AND FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A DESIGN PROBLEM.

THIS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM, I WENT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT A NEW PROGRAM NEEDED TO BE INSTALLED ON THE TRANSMISSION. THEY DID IT BUT IT IS STILL THE SAME. ON 10-25-08 I WENT TO THE DEALER TO AGAIN COMPLAIN AND THEY SAID THAT I WOULD JUST HAVE TO LIVE WITH IT. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE WHEN YOU ACCELERATE YOU NEED THE CAR TO RESPOND, WHICH IT WILL NOT DO. *TR

THE CAR WAS TOWED TO TOYOTA WHO EXPLAINED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THE REASON WHY I COULDN'T STEER MY CAR WAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH HOW THE TRANSMISSION ROTATES THE WHEELS AND ONE WHEEL WAS POINTED TOWARDS THE RIGHT AND ONE WAS WHERE IT SHOULD BE. I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED OR HURT SOMEONE ELSE AND I WAS VERY UPSET ESPECIALLY AFTER HEARING THAT I WASN'T THE ONLY ONE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO. AT THIS TIME I WAS TOLD THAT MY BRAKES WERE WARPED AND I HAD TO PAY $180.00 TO FIX THEM, APPARENTLY WHEN I HIT MY BREAKS REAL HARD TO TRY AND STOP THE CAR WITHOUT CRASHING I WARPED THE BREAKS. THIS WASN'T UNDER WARRANTY. I RECEIVED THE CAR BACK APPROXIMATELY A WEEK LATER AND WAS TOLD THEY PUT IN A NEW TRANSMISSION. WHEN I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP THE ENGINE STILL DIDN'T FEEL RIGHT IT WAS LUNGING. SO I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK AND THEY DID A TEST DRIVE WITH ME IN THE CAR AND OF COURSE IT DIDN'T DO IT. I HAVE HAD OFF AND ON ISSUES AND NOW MY MAINTENANCE LIGHT IS ON, AFTER BEING AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE LAST 10 DAYS WITH OTHER ISSUES. I HAVE NO TRUST OR FAITH AT THIS POINT WITH THEM. MOST OF ALL, THE CAR DOING IT'S OWN DRIVING WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND THE FAILING OF MINE COULD HAVE KILLED ME OR SOMEONE ELSE. HOW MANY COMPLAINTS NEED TO BE MADE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT.

THE CAR WILL THEN BE UNABLE TO MAINTAIN SPEED AGAIN, DOWNSHIFT ONE OR 2 GEARS, AND ONCE AGAIN ACCELERATE BEYOND THE SET SPEED, REPEATING OVER AND OVER AND WORSENING EACH CYCLE.

I WAS TRYING TO DETERMINING WHAT TO DO AS THE CAR APPEARED TO HAVE ACTUALLY SHUT OFF, WHEN IT JUST SURGED FORWARD & I WAS MOVING AGAIN. NEEDLESS TO SAY, THIS SCARED THE CRAP OUT OF ME & I CALLED MY HUSBAND & TOLD HIM WHAT HAPPENED. I FELT THAT IF WE DID NOT DO SOMETHING, WE COULD POTENTIALLY HAVE AN ACCIDENT, GET KILLED OR KILL SOMEONE ELSE. I FINALLY CALLED THE CORPORATE OFFICE & TOLD THEM OUR STORY. THEY INSTRUCTED US TO TAKE THE CAR TO THE SERVICE DEPT FOR AN ASSESSMENT. AFTER ASSESSMENT THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT MY STEERING COLUMN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED; MY ROTORS WERE COMPLETELY WARPED; AND THEY MAY HAVE TO OVERHAUL MY TRANSMISSION BUT WERE GOING TO TRY & RESET IT TO SEE IF THAT WOULD HELP (APPARENTLY IT IS RUN BY A COMPT WHICH TELLS IT HOW FAST OR SLOW IT TO GO WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS PRESSED) APPARENTLY THE COMPUTER WAS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY OR HAD A "GLITCH." THEY RESET THE TRANSMISSION & TOLD MY HUSBAND & I TO DRIVE AN ADDITIONAL 500MILES TO "BREAK-IN" THE TRANSMISSION & LET THEM KNOW OUR THOUGHTS. WELL, WE HAVE DRIVEN THE ADDITIONAL MILES & WE BOTH FEEL AS IF THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING AGAIN. WE ARE AT WITS END W/THIS DANGEROUS $30,000+ CAR. *TR

FIRST PROBLEM WITHIN 30 DAYS OF OWNING THE CAR WAS A LOUD CLUNKING UNDER THE HOOD WHEN DRIVING CAR AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS. AFTER MECHANIC TEST DROVE WITH ME HE COULD NOT FEEL THE PROBLEM. HE DID NOT CHECK UNDER THE HOOD AND I DID NOT LEAVE MY CAR. HE TOLD ME TO COME BACK WHEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THE SECOND TIME I TOOK THE CAR BACK I LEFT IT OVER NITE AND WAS TOLD THE NEXT DAY THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. I INSISTED THEY KEEP MY CAR UNTIL THEY FOUND WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT. AFTER 2 DAYS I CALLED THEM AND THEY DETERMINED MY TRANSMISSION WAS BAD AND REPLACED IT. THEY HAD MY CAR ALMOST 2 WEEKS. A COUPLE DAYS AFTER THE NEW TRANNY WAS PUT IN I WENT ON A 120 MILE TRIP.I WAS EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED WITH MY CARS PERFORMANCE. IT WOULD ACCELERATE AT HIGH SPEEDS AFTER I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL AND WHEN I DISENGAGED THE CRUISE. IT WAS A VERY DANGEROUS AND FRIGHTNING SITUATION WHEN I CAME UPON A WRECK ON INTERSTATE AND MY CAR ACCELERATED INSTEAD OF DECREASING THE SPEED. I TOOK MY CAR BACK ONCE AGAIN FOR AND OIL CHANGE AND TO GET THE CAR CHECK OUT AND THEY SAID THEY FIXED IT WITH A COMPUTER CHIP ADJUSTMENT. I TOOK MY CAR BACK AGAIN TODAY BECAUSE I AM STILL HAVING PROBLEMS WITH AUTOMATICALLY ACCELERATING AT LOW SPEEDS.

SOME OF THESE SYMPTOMS ARE SPORADIC; YOU NEVER KNOW IF THE CAR IS GOING TO MOVE OR NOT WHEN STEPPING DOWN HARD AND QUICKLY ON THE GAS PEDAL.

AFTER A COMPLAINT TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT, I WAS TOLD THEY COULD "RECALIBRATE" THE TRANSMISSION AND FIX THE ISSUE. I ALLOWED THE ADJ. TO BE PERFORMED. THE ISSUE WAS IMPROVED FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS BUT MUCH TO MY DISMAY RETURNED WITHIN A COUPLE OF WEEKS. ONCE AGAIN, I COMPLAINED TO MY DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT "IT WAS JUST THE WAY THE NEW CAMRY WAS MADE TO ACHIEVE BETTER GAS MILEAGE AND THAT IF I WANTED MORE POWER, I SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT A 6 CYL." THE SALESMAN THAT SOLD ME THE CAR, OFFERED THE SOLUTION OF ME PURCHASING A TURBO BOOSTER FOR THE CAR. THE COST ESTIMATED IN THE THOUSANDS. THIS WAS NOT AN OPTION. THE PROBLEM WORSENED IN THE WINTER MONTHS, CAUSING ME MANY INSTANCES OF CLOSE CALLS. ON ONE OCCASION I MADE A LEGAL RIGHT TURN ON RED WHEN IT APPEARED THE PATH WAS CLEAR, A DRIVER SUDDENLY CHANGED THEIR MIND TO COME STRAIGHT INTO MY LANE BEHIND ME. I LOOKED IN MY REARVIEW MIRROR, SAW THE ONCOMING CAR, PRESSED THE GAS AND THE CAR WENT NO WHERE, SIMPLY COASTED DOWN THE ON RAMP. I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND AFTER A FEW SECONDS THE CAR KICKED INTO GEAR, REDLINED IN RPMS AND FINALLY TOOK OFF ALLOWING ME TO GET OUT OF THE OTHER DRIVER'S WAY.

IF THERE HAD BEEN MORE TRAFFIC IN THAT SITUATION IT WOULD HAVE CAUSED A WRECK. ACCELERATION IS ALSO VERY ERRATIC WHEN USING CRUISE CONTROL, GOING UP A SLIGHT HILL WILL CAUSE THE MOTOR TO RACE.

AFTER HAVING THE CAR FOR 6 MONTHS THE TRANSMISSION FALED. PRIOR TO TRANSMISSION FAILURE HAD A DIFFICULT TIME SHIFTING GEARS. THE CAR WOULD STALL WHEN COMING TO A STOP. THERE WAS VIBRATION IN THE ENGINE. THIS PROBLEM STARTED GRADUALLY ,THEN INCREASEED DRAMATICALLY. THISWAS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM. I HAPPENED TO BE ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE CAR STALLED. LUCKELY, IT WAS 4AM, WITH LITTLE TRAFFIC AT THE TIME. THAT MORNING HAD TOYOTA RETREIVE THE VEHICLE. THE CARWAS CURRENTLY BEING REPAIR BY TOYOTA. *AK

I FIND THIS ANSWER COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE. I HAPPEN TO DO A LOT OF CITY DRIVING - MOSTLY 45 MPH AND UNDER - SO I JUST HAVE TO LIVE WITH IT? THE JERKINESS OF BOTH ACCELERATING AND BRAKING COULD BE DANGEROUS, AND TRY AS I MIGHT TO GET USED TO IT, IT IS SO UNPREDICTABLE THAT I JUST CAN'T IGNORE IT. MY TEENAGE DAUGHTER IS JUST ABOUT TO START DRIVING, AND I WON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH HER DRIVING THIS CAR UNTIL THESE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN SATISFACTORILY ADDRESSED. BUT FIRST, TOYOTA MUST ADMIT THAT THERE'S A PROBLEM!. *JB

CAR CANNOT BE SAFELY DRIVEN. WHEN PLACING CAR IN PARK THE CAR JUMPS FORWARD. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE FOR MY FAMILY. TOYOTA SAID THIS ISSUE IS NORMAL AND THE CAR HAS TO GET USED TO THE WAY WE DRIVE IT. CAR GOING BACK INTO THE SHOP. *JB
