Toyota Camry Power Train Safety Report | Oct 14, 2011
Reported on Oct 14, 2011
| SOON AFTER I BOUGHT THIS BRAND NEW 2011 CAMRY THE CAR STARTED ACTING WEIRD. A CONSTANT PROBLEM THAT APPEAR A LOT OF TIME WHEN I AM DRIVING CONCERNS THE TRANSMISSION. AT LOW SPEEDS, MOSTLY CITY DRIVING, THE CAR JERKS WITH ABRUPT SHIFTING, AND SOMETIMES HARSH SHIFTING. ALSO IT FEELS LIKE THE CAR PAUSES A LITTLE WHEN SHIFTING AT LOW SPEEDS. THE THING THAT CONCERNS ME AND MY WIFE THE MOST IS THAT THE CAR TAKES OFF LIKE IT RUSHES RATHER THAN A SMOOTH ACCELERATION, ALTHOUGH WE BOTH PRESS THE GAS PEDAL REALLY GENTLY. THIS MOSTLY HAPPENS AT LOW SPEEDS WHEN WE ARE DRIVING IN THE CITY WHERE HEAVY TRAFFIC MIGHT BE PRESENT. THIS IS MAKING BOTH OF US VERY CONCERNED ABOUT OUR SAFETY. WE ARE CONCERNED TO THE POINT THAT WE BOTH STOPPED DRIVING THE CAR UNLESS WE REALLY HAVE TO, WE RELY ON OUR SECOND CAR WHICH IS A BMW. ONE OTHER ISSUE IS THAT THE CAR FEELS LIKE IT IS GOING TO STALL WHEN I RELEASE MY FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATION. THIS HAPPENS AT BOTH SLOW SPEEDS AND HIGH SPEEDS. *TR | |
