We have classified the 57 complaints from 2012 Toyota Camry about VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL into the following categories.
I have a 2012 toyota camry. while making a turn the car loses acceleration. if the turn is long, as in a cloverleaf exit, the vehicle will almost stop. pressing the gas has no effect. the vehicle will lag until it almost stops or until you come out of the turn. from what i find on the internet, this is a common problem with 2012 and later toyota camrys but dealers stonewall about it. i hope you get enough complaints on this to issue a recall.
Accelerating from a stop the vehicle will sometimes move about 10 feet and then hesitate for about 1 to 2 seconds. it will then accelerate normally. the intermittent hesitation could be dangerous.

As i am accelerating between 20-50 mph the car shudders. i called my local toyota dealership and they want to charge me a diagnostic fee of $140 just to see if that is the problem. my son has a 2014 and my daughter has a 2015 and all have the same exact problem. i have 110,000 miles on my car, my son 80,000 and my daughter 70,000 miles. this should be a recall since we all have the same exact problem. i am afraid as we are accelerating to enter the freeway and the car is stalling we might get hit from behind. its definitely a safety issue!
When accelerating car hesitate for a couple of seconds then take off while taking my kids to school and also driving to work on the highway i feel very unsafe with my kids in car. *tr
