My 2018 camry 8 speed transmission intermittently shudders/ slips at around 30-40 mph or even when cruise is set at 70-75mph. it seems the cpu has difficulty trying to determine the right gear for the speed. when i press the gas, it sometimes hesitates for over a second.
Transmission stalls when accelerating and revs when accelerating to higher speeds.
Vehicle hesitate when accelerating and the engine shakes real bad, it feels like a mount is really loose. vehicle also hesitate to pick up speed after slowing down.
When driving the vehicle, the transmission does not appear to know what gear to be in and is always searching. so much so that it will lunge at times when all you are trying to do is accelerate. when slowing down and then slowly applying gas again, nothing happens for a good 10 seconds and then it surges and causes my head to slam into the back of the head rest. also while idling the vehicle is decently loud, more so when defroster is engaged. at freeway speeds it tends to do better, but most issues appear to be in city day to day driving from the transmission/ or fuel system.
When one starts the car by pushing the start bottom, the car will start to shake and soon a very load cracking and rattling noise will began coming from the engine. engine light will come on while driving in the city and then turns off causing the driver to be aware of some issue. once the concerning noise goes away the car continues to shake but eventually stops after a while. this could make the car to stall and causing a potential crash. the vehicle left blind side detector does not respond 100%, it only works about 60% of the time. this causes the driver to think he/she are clear to turn to the left lane in the city and highway and it can cause the driver to hit another car and potentially crashing. the screen panel glitches from time to time while driving in the highway causing the driver to not be able to see and locate radio stations or manipulate the panel.
Tl* the consumer owns a 2018 toyota camry. the consumer has stated that while driving, the vehicle shook. also, when the accelerator pedal was depressed, the vehicle failed to move. additionally, an abnormal rattling noise was detected and the blind spot sensor failed to work. the vehicle was taken to jim ellis hyundai atlanta (5785 peachtree blvd, atlanta, ga 30341, (770) 454-6789), but was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was contacted and referred the contact to a local toyota dealer. the failure mileage was 28,500 . *bf *as
The transmission shift erratically, when cruising at a constant speed the transmission jerks. it feels like it down shift then up shifted, this happens a few of times a week toyota says this is normal in 4 cylinder, but this is not normal behavior i have 2013 camry with no such issue. the most annoying, both the driver side and passenger side doors sound hollow and make a loud banging sound when shutting the doors. they sound like metal banging or hollow tin cans. when i searched online i found that the adhesive on the door skin could be bad causing the metal thumping sound. i can make a video and send it to you guys if needed. thank you.
Today aug 31 2019, i test drove the above vehicle. 2 things i noticed during driving. 1). at start up there was a very audible ticking sound at the front end of the engine. it was much more audible when the hood was raised, and it stopped after approximately 30 seconds with only a familiar ticking sound of the 4 cylnder engine once it stopped 2). most important - during acceleration from a stop, the vehicle seemed to bogg down, and feel like the fuel was not feeding properly, or the transmission was slipping. once the vehicle reached 15 mph or so, it seemed to drive normal. i did not have a chance to drive on the freeway, only city streets. the acceleration should be of major concern.
2018 camry se, slow to take off when stepping on gas after a stop or slow down mostly noticeable on city streets. very hesitant & gas must be pumped in order for transmission to catch up. almost involved in accident when coming off exit ramp & onto highway. car wouldn't accelerate & other drivers were at speed limit behind me. gears shift almost like a manual transmission. gas pedal can be difficult to push at times as well.
Car gets very confused when shifting. doesn't seem to know what gear it's wants to be placed it. when i'm auto shifting setting no problem with shifting or transmission.
Car engine knocks after warming up. knocks goes away and comes back. loss of power and noisy driving. occasionally engine shakes at startup. my wife drives this car all the times and she complaint me several times in her words that car is not smooth and i keep ignoring. i have started driving this car after her complaint to make sure nothing is wrong or car is safe. i have recorded several videos of engine knocking having car parked in my garage. secondly gear shifting is very abnormal. sometimes shifts down for no reason and sometimes takes longer to shift down while passing and stays in lower gear for long time about 5-7 seconds even upshifted using lever on steering wheel. i could not record abnormal shifting operation due to safety reason during driving. i am just not sure how long this has been going on but i noticed this week ago after my wife complaint.
Defective transmission: 1: car hesitates to speed up from a full stop or while in motion. 2: rpm's go over 3000 before car reacts (2-3 seconds delay) , dangerous specially when taking curves or merging into traffic (highways, fast traffic roads). 3: i feel a "hiccup" like movement while in motion (sometimes). 4: car hesitates to shift or shifts whit excessive power. 5: downshifts and loss of acceleration (it happens erratically dealer have replaced the vehicle transmission, but the problem persist, now they are going to replace the vehicle computer and if the problem persist they will replace the transmission again. it seems like they don"t know what the problem really is. until now this are the symptoms i'm experiencing with my 2018 camry 4-cyl, certainly something i wasn't expecting from a toyota product. the unpredictable behavior of this car is dangerous, i never know when is going to response as it should do or when i'll have to floor it so it can rev up and finally move.
I just bought a camry se 2018 and everytime from takeoff to a stop pedals or transmission feel rougt is like the car dont move if you gonna take off i need to press the pedal so hard to get the car move to pass the others cars the same thing i dont feel safe in this car i have a 2017 elantra at that hyundai handle better than the camry so aceleration is rought i just have two days driving and i know thats cant be like that. so that happen when the vehicule is in motion after stop when pressing the gas pedal after stop when going to drive again hard aceleration and car wasting to much gas camry has 43k i bought it use and that happen the first day i bought i was thinking maybe is me cause i have a hyundai but i drove before a 2014 camry and is not like that
Moving slowly i turned the wheel to the right to change lanes and accelerated, the trans seemed to go into neutral by itself. the engine revved up but car would not go for about 3 seconds until it finally engaged. this created a dangerous situation where cars coming up behind could have collided with me. this happened at a busy intersection on a city street. i was going about 5mph when i turned the wheel to the right and tried to change lanes.
When i put the car in reverse and then in forward the car jerks. when i'm driving the car at lower speeds and my foot is not on the gas pedal and then i press the gas pedal the car feels like it's going to stall, or shifts down or up jerky like it skips gears or it can't decide what gear it should be in. i understand there is a technical service bulletin to resolve this issue that toyota is aware of. the bulletin recommends that dealers reprogram the pcm module. the bulletin is tsb #t-sb-0330-17. the dealer won't reprogram because it's nit a recall issue.
Car cannot seem to determine which gear it should be in. when in stop and go traffic on freeway and pedal is not depressed, car lurches forward and a clunk is heard as the vehicle downshifts. clunking sound is made worse in cold, humid, or cloudy weather. in the streets, when turning a corner and hitting the gas, there is a noticeable lag (about 2 seconds) until the car jerks forward and increases speed. if you want to pass someone you need to be very careful because the car can suddenly lurch forward and a higher speed than intended, or not accelerate at all. when car automatically brakes for you to avoid a collision, a loud rattling noise is heard and felt throughout cabin when depressing pedal, with most of the noise concentrated in the area under the hood of car.
I have had constant problems with my 2018 camry since purchasing may 2018. my car is always jerking as i accelerate and when i'm driving in town, feels like i'm getting rear-ended and hesitating on highway when i have to accelerate into traiffic which is very dangerous when the car won't get up and go. i have had it to the dealer several times. they reset the computer because it can save settings from previous drivers. that didn't help. they told me that it's a different transmission and it takes few seconds for the computer to communicate back to transmission. this is a very unsafe feature. the car is super loud and rough feeling with the tires. i feel like i'm driving an old vehicle from the 80's. the entune app has constant issues of not loading or recognizing my phone. tire pressure light comes on all the time and pressure tests fine at dealer. maintenance light comes on every 5000 miles for tire check and oil only needs changed 10000. maintenance light should be separate from oil change so you know which one needs done.
Car is often jumpy after accelerating from a complete stop or accelerating after slowing down. i will push the gas pedal down, and there will be a slight delay before the car selects the proper gear, often resulting in the car lurching forward. this only happens in town, not on the highway, and seems to happen more often after turning. and it doesn't happen all the time, but enough for me to take notice after having the car for a month.
While driving, car has problem selecting the right gear. i was driving and i decelerate not to a complete stop and them try to accelerate again that when i notice car has struggle to select the proper gear. car does not accelerate for about 2 second before a rough fast start through 2 or 3 gear, them the proper gear is selected.
The transmission has harsh shifts. multiple times coming through the city with stop signs it will have a delay and jerk when i start to go again. some times when i go to cross an intersection there will be a delay which is very dangerous if i'm crossing while yielding to oncoming traffic. i took to the dealer where they started its functioning as it should according to the computers and recommended i used the different modes for better shifting. i would like the better fuel economy and shouldn't have to put it in sport mode for it to somewhat shift better. even in sport mode it still can't figure out what gear it should be in. i was told it needs to learn my driving pattern but at 10k miles i'm still have ing the issue. if it wasn't a new car i would say the transmission was going bad with how jerky the car can be at times. very disappointing.
Gear shifting is wired between 25 mph and 45 mph some times very rough and some times it down shift and you feel more power then normal
Transmission has a very dangerous delay . doesn't respond when you press the pedal when accelerating from a stop then suddenly reacs . when switching lanes and merging into highway ive had the car not respond when pressing the pedal causing me to almost get rear ended multiple times . toyota please do something for everyone having this problem !!!!! not a safe car
On december 6, 2018, i purchased a 2018 camry with 65 miles. i am writing to you regarding my accelerator pedal problem. this letter also documents the second incident with the accelerator pedal. the first incident occurred in a parking lot and left me stranded for 4 hours and then without a car for a day. the second incident occurred while i was making a right turn in traffic and the car issued a master warning light, a warning buzzer, and a message on the multi-information display that quickly disappeared. something is wrong with the accelerator control system or pedal itself. this is a safety issue. the following information is provided to help diagnose and fix the problem. on the fourth incident, i have a video that clearly shows there is an accelerator problem. in three of the four incidents, i was backing up in "r" and noticed there was no accelerator pedal, placed car in "d" and still no accelerator pedal than it would just go. if the car is unable to accelerate either in a turn or in any situation, than an accident or death could occur. currently car is at a toyota dealer. toyota did nothing on the first two visits, as there were "no codes" and would do nothing unless a code was present. i provided them with a video of the fourth incident and it seems they might be a bit more interested.
Transmission hesistating on take off and when changing to another forward speed. has happened about 2 - 3 times a week
While driving the car jerks when going into the next gear. it feels like the transmission is slipping. it seems like it don't know what hear to go in at times
I live in ma , apon a early november sleet my car dash lit up like a christmas tree. disabling my anti crash system with lights going and not being able to see i almost crashed. i made an appointment for six month service at 3850 miles on car set for day after vacation. i took car in to toyota. explained problems and told them transmission is rough. they came back to me telling me there is a recall for transmission.. i left car at hyannis toyota expecting to receive car back that day. service rep called me at 530 telling me that since the day i drove off the lot there are 9 pages of defaults. claiming driver errors. first it's a recall, but later in day driver error. i am 60 years old and this is my 5th lease with them. i do know how to drive and on cape cod in summer i sit in traffic most of the time . the situation with sleet was driving about 20mph on local streets. that was explained by service rep that sensors are sensitive and dirt,heavy rain and snow can cause anti crash systems to deactivate. and all you have to do is turn engine off and apon restart the system will reactivate itself.between the transmission self acclaimed recall and now called driver error. when you need anti crash system,the odds of it not working are pretty good as explained by service rep. i just want my can repaired and safe.the date is approx
The car hard shifts about 30 miles per hour... seems to always be searching for the correct gear, some lag time when accelerating. the problems seem to start about 5k-8k miles. the first time, the dealer said to switch to premium gas, the problem got progressively worse. the dealer is replacing the transmission; however, it is on back order and it may take 4 weeks to get the new transmission. dealer is also unaware of any problems with the transmission on the 2018 camry.
This car has a very jerky transmission. on an intermittent basis when i'm slowing down to a stop, the transmission can't decide what gear to go in and a vibration occurs and lunges the car forward a bit. in these cases, i have to push the brake harder to avoid hitting the car in front of me, which has nearly happened a couple times now. in addition to this shaking that can be felt throughout the car and through the steering wheel, there have been a couple of occasions where the car has nearly stalled on me as well when coming to a stop on a round-about in which i needed to accelerate right after. this random unpredictable behavior makes it very difficult to safely operate this car and avoid hitting the car in front of me or getting rear-ended, especially when in stop-and-go traffic. i can tell it's a transmission issue, because when i shift the transmission into "neutral" and come to a stop, the issue never happens. i took it to the toyota dealership last week, since i purchased it brand new and it now has only 1500 miles on it. they spent a day on it and told me they don't know how to fix it, since it's intermittent and they were only able to reproduce it once or twice after a long test-drive. they've heard others complain about the transmission on the new 2018 camry's though as well, so it's possible toyota knows about this. after reading online, i can see that many others are running into the exact same issue i am.
My vehicle will stall after a rolling stop. the transmission also shutters when i am in stop and go traffic. it will randomly shutter when i am driving down the highway. it also jerks quite often.
Transmission jerks and cant seem to find the correct gear. if you come to a stop then try to change lanes the transmission cant seem to find the correct gear. i almost got into a crash because of it toyota should recall and update the software before someone dies or gets hurt!! also the transmission jerks into gears it makes for a crap ride.
While driving, with or without cruise control on the freeway, the transmission is extremely jerky. any sort of incline seems to highlight the issue even further! i have taken it to the dealer, only for them to tell me nothing is wrong. but what would i know, even though i drive it 110 miles a day. the problem has also occurred from takeoff from a stop sign or stop light. the rpm's want to jump and the pedal is very touchy. i really hate the transmission jerking this hard when i'm driving 75-80 on the interstate. i also didnt want to pay this much for the camry, which i hold in high regard, only for this to continue happening on a daily basis. i had it looked at with around 6k miles and now i have 13k on the car, with zero improvement. toyota, please acknowledge and fix this issue for all owners experiencing this problem!
The issues that i have with the power train is that when the car slows down & has to accelerate quickly or when you come to a complete stop & take off the car hesitates to go. it somewhat stalls & is very dangerous especially in city traffic trying to cross a busy street & then you stall with oncoming traffic coming towards you!! you can sometimes press the gas pedal to the floor & it still won't take off like it should & then when it catches the car jerks & then accelerates. crazy huh? i don't like it. i have taken my car back to the dealership 3 times & every time they say it's the way the new transmission is made in the 2018 models & it's nothing they can do. but it happens everyday at some point of my driving trip. this is a very dangerous issue & toyota needs to fix the problem & take this serious before someone really gets hurt. with the visibility or wipers, when it rains really hard the visibility is terrible...wipers on high & defrost on it's still just terrible!! toyota we can do better than this now!!
The way the car handles is horrible. when i slow down it speeds up and when i take off from a light it doesnt seem to want to go my rmp hits about 4 before it smooths out. i sware other cars think i want to race. i did advice the sales men when he asked what i thought about the car and he said because of a new modle of transmission. i do not like the way the car shakes and feels like its going to cut off. it is fine on the high way. i am just diappointed in my purchace and for the first time out of all 5 toyotas ive had that i wish i wouldnt have bought it. i was fine in my 2012 wish i would have kept it.
This is my third toyota car that i buy as a brand new car and i was so excited about grtting a 2018 camry se but am very disspoint it with this situation man so this is whats happening to the car the vehicle has issues with the transmission there are times when the car can't seem to decide what gear to pick and when to engage it resulting in a second or two of dead acceleration once the vehicle decides what to do, it sends an excessive amount of power to the wheels with unintended acceleration rates. this has been an issue since i bought the car so please let me know what we can do because i dont like how this brand new transmission works. 2.the second pronlem is that that car start shaking when am going over 70 miles per hour on the highway and i know exactly that is not with balance and not alighnmrnt because idont feel the steering wheel shaking i fell the shaking is comming from the engine i can guaranteed u that is coming from there because when i stop accelareting it goes away but once i accelerate again starts that vibration again so toyota needs to be more specific and making sure that they're customer are 100%% happy with their car and stop testing this brand news platform with the people money because i can telk u that at least 40 percent of the people they are regreting of buying this car just because this kinda of problem so i wish theres a remedy tgat toyota it might xonsidering to fix this inds of problem which i hate about it st all
Takata recall. i am having issues with the transmission. since the day first day i noticed that the transmission jerks, can't find it's gear and stalls. i have had several near accidents due to the transmission not responding the way it should. especially during bumper/bumper traffic. at low speeds the transmission can't find it's gear. tends to upshift and when you need to accelerate it might take a few seconds before it goes and everyone knows that a few seconds is an eternity (especially when trying to change lanes and there is a car coming).
Hi i recently purchased a 2018 toyota camry in september with 7,000 miles on it and now it has almost 8,000 miles on it. after 1 week of purchase i am having some problems especially with the engine and transmission. engine because i am feeling a lose of power when accelerating and not smooth when driving also it is noisy when you start the car. also when at a full stop i can feel the vehicle shake and when you put your foot on the gas pedal and drive at 20 mph you can feel the pedal shake. transmission because i can feel the transmission jerking and when you put it on drive it doesn't feel like you are on drive it feels like you are on neutral driving because of how rough it is when you accelerate. i also went to the dealer for this matter but they couldn't do anything. please help me because i am very frustrated with toyota because many of my family members have toyotas and they never had this issue. the car is good but the lack of performance has disappointed me because toyotas have a great reputation and now they are just giving that all up just to save money on fixing this issue that's what i feel that they are doing. thats why i am disappointed with toyota and there engineering because i feel that they put in too much for the redesigned part but not the performance part.
The 2018 toyota camry se has a major issue with delayed acceleration that impacts the safety of the vehicle. the car's 8-speed transmission has trouble selecting the proper gear when the driver needs to accelerate after deceleration. for example, imagine driving steady at 40mph before decelerating to an intersection for a turn, making the turn, then pressing the gas again to accelerate. when pressing the gas again to accelerate in this scenario, the car struggles to select the proper gear after the downshift from 40 mph causing the vehicle to pause (no acceleration) for 3 seconds before very roughly cycling through two or three gears before the proper gear is selected. both my wife and i experience this while driving the car and often feel vulnerable and stuck as traffic must brake unexpectedly because the camry will not simply select a gear and move when the gas is pressed. also, when the camry finally does move, there is no predicting how much acceleration the driver will experience. this causes safety concern for both getting rear-ended while the camry won't accelerate, and also safety concern for rear-ending someone else when the camry unpredictably accelerates. the toyota dealer has done nothing to fix this and states it is working as designed because no error codes are thrown. the toyota dealer did acknowledge that 8-speed transmissions are new to toyota and they have had major issues with the 8-speed transmission in the toyota sienna.
When the vehicle starts and is stationary, it idles too high or it studders while idling. when driving around 60 mph to 64 mph when shifting gears from high too low speeds it also jerks abruptly. it also does this when i am slowing down to lower speeds and when i put it in drive from reverse or park to reverse it jerks/jumps really badly. since owning this car, i bought it brand new no miles, a whell barring has had to be replaced as well.
1. while stationary with foot on break the vehicle starts to roll forward requiring more and more break pressure. brake peddle will slowly fade to floor. 2. while at highway speed 65 mph attempting to change lanes after deceleration or breaking the engine will runaway over 5,000 rpm cause a long delay in spead increase which can be crucial for matching traffic flow. result is potential for collision from rear. 3. the toyota entune / scout gps system fails to provide reliability as a handsfree operation system, it constantaily crashes, requiring a vehicle stop with engine restart to clear falt condition.
The transmission does not shift properly, and hesitates. when needing to make a sudden acceleration, the vehicle rolls several seconds before accelerating. i almost got hit several times
When slowly accelerating from about 20 miles per hour to about 40 miles per hour and around 2500 revolution per minute, the engine and/or transmission shakes and/or stall.
Tl* the contact owns a 2018 toyota camry. while operating the vehicle, the transmission shifter would erratically downshift and up shift, and the engine rpms would rev very high. while pulling into a parking space, the vehicle suddenly accelerated and crashed into a second vehicle. there were no injuries and a police report was not filed. the vehicle was taken to the local dealer (toyota of grand rapids, 2555 28th st. se, grand rapids mi) and the transmission was reprogrammed, but the failures continued. in addition, while operating the vehicle with the air conditioner activated, the windows inside the vehicle would fog up and create a visibility hazard. the cause of the failures was not diagnosed. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failures. the failure mileage was 1,000.
After taking delivery of the vehicle i noticed that the vehicle accelerates very poor and when the vehicle was set on cruise control it would drop speed for no reason.
It seems that the transmission is not working right...the car can't decide when to accelerate and keeps jumping through...this happens from a stop or while you're driving..i tried to accelerate and car was "deciding" to move forward or not...it can happen in motion, stationary, turning....i don't feel safe at all driving my 7 months 2018 toyota camry....dealer solution=none...they just say the computer is not showing anything while i have to be worried about the car...
This happened to the vehicle repeatedly and under 1000 miles on the odometer. upon acceleration the car hesitates and after a few seconds if will finally go with a jerking to the passengers. it also has a problem accelerating on the highway, it seems to lack the power to pass anyone when in traffic. at approximately 75 miles per hour the car began to shake also. when moving into different gears the car would also feel as if it were jerking into gears. seems to be worse on cold starts but was definitely still a problem after driving and having time to warm up.
When driving the car on city streets and highways the car hesitates feels likes the transmission is slipping or the car is having trouble shifting at some points the car shifts really hard causing a whip lash effect, the car normals does this at about anywhere from 45 miles per hour up to 70 miles per hour. at higher speeds such as 92 miles per hour to be exact the car continues to just hesitate non stop as if is struggling to go that speed?
Vehicle has issues with transmission. there are times when the car can't seem to decide what gear to pick and when to engage it resulting in a second or two of dead acceleration. once vehicle decides what to do, it sends an excessive amount of power to the wheels with unintended acceleration rates. this most commonly happens when slowing for a yield and then going, stop and go traffic, and passing on the highway. fuel economy is all over the place as well, most likely due to poor transmission. this has been an issue since car was first bought in november 2017....has nearly 8000 miles as of july 18 and still an issue.
This vehicle has a major delay/hesitation when hitting the gas to accelerate. when i am attempting to accelerate or pass another vehicle, it takes 3-5 seconds before the engine reacts. it is dangerous when attempting to pass another vehicle in multiple lane traffic - the chances of being rear ended because of the hesitation are high. i have addressed this issue with a dealer and they continue to tell me that the vehicle doesn't have the issue that i am experiencing - it most certainly does! i am fed up with the lack of action to remedy this dangerous flaw.
4-cylinder xse has significant acceleration delay after depressing the pedal; this is especially apparent when accelerating from a rolling stop at approximately 15-25 mph. occasionally, the gear will also shift abruptly when accelerating from 15-25 mph, causing the car to lurch forward suddenly. this is dangerous; if there is a car in front of you, there is a high chance of causing a rear end accident.
My 2018 toyota camry has a very rough shifting automatic transmission. i began to notice the issue with the vehicle when i reached about 20,000 miles on the odometer. when ever i put the vehicle into drive, reverse, or park the vehicle makes a thud sounds and shakes a bit. whenever i am driving the vehicle and i am accelerating the transmission has a large delay before it shifts into the next gear, and it feels like it is shifting into the wrong gear because of the lack or power or too much power at times. it is especially telling when i'm on city streets at low speeds, but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen on the highway as well at higher speeds. i have brought this issue to light to the toyota auto dealership in the past in the past to which they have responded that this is standard with the transmissions of these 2018 camry's, and that i am not the first to have reported such a thing. i have owned 3 toyota camrys before this 2018, and never had i had an issue like this on them. and it is very unusual for a vehicle so new and with such low mileage to exhibit such poor performance.
