Often during acceleration, my car seems to sputter or misfire. when taking off there seems to be, as the only way i can describe it, an air bubble in the fuel line. kinda like fuel isn't constantly being fed to the engine. there are gaps. while driving at a constant speed, this does not happen. also, sometimes when accelerating from a stopped position, my car accelerates slowly and then all of a sudden, takes off as if its playing catch up. although there isn't an active recall on my car, i think there is a problem with the fuel pump.
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.
Fuel and air going into the fuel injection system are not in balance. check engine light comes on.
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.
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.
The response time of accelerating and the car moving is significant at irregular intervals. this is hazardous when i am planning to overtake because it takes longer than expected.
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.
I have been getting my gas at the same place for a long time. it starts missing and cutting out. i took it in they said try different gas i have still doing same thing it has been doing it since 30000 miles.
8 speed transmission the transmission performs poorly, regularly stalling between shifts, causing a lag in acceleration. it can't seem to pick a gear, leaving the vehicle stalled briefly, while the accelerator is depressed. once, at a large intersection, in a high traffic area, from a stop, i attempted a right turn. the car stalled, while i depressed the accelerator, causing a mild panic, as i was confronted with an 18 wheeler attempting to turn into my lane. the car eventually accelerated, getting me out of the way, in a harried and frustrated huff at the poor performance of this new car. the transmission does not mis-perform upon every single shift of the gears, but there will be mis-performance occurring on every single trip taken in the car.
When i first start the car in the mornings,let run for a few minutes,and drive off about half a block,stop at intersection and proceed,the car will hesitate,die down if it floods out and then it will pick up,during this hesitation,i could in the intersection and with traffic coming,i do not know if the car will stop or go. i took it to the dealer and as most say,well we could not duplicate the problem,it only seems that the car only does this,after a five minute warm up and drive about a block.this problem so far has only happen 3 or 4 times since i have owned the car also,2018,bought in 2018-feb and i only have 5600 miles on the car. this has happen about 4 times,not all the time,but it makes me wonder
Hesitation when accelerating when starting from a stop.
(hybrid mod) while traveling on an interstate in may , the rt rear tire blew out(odo 7,000). seemed to be no reason, it just blew out. then in july, again on an interstate, the lt rear tire blew(odo 12,000). once again, no reason, just blew out. we we're told by firestone that the tires on my vehicle have been discontinued & i can not do a warranty claim because i did not purchase the tires from them, toyota did so toyota has to do the claim. toyota tells me they do not warranty tires, firestone does & i have to go through firsetone for warranty claim. no one seems to want to address the fact that there are still 2 more tires (on the front) that could still blow out & cause me to have an accident. dealer told me they couldn't help because i didn't keep the tires to show they were defective. the brakes have always been overly sensitive. the car then started braking (the collision safety feature) when there are no other vehicles, people, animals,etc in sight. it has happened on highways, city streets, straight roads, in curves,sunny days, rainy days,etc. the vehicle randomly decides to engage the braking safety system when it should not. all the dealer where i purchased the vehicle could offer as a suggestion was to turn that feature off! as if all that wasn't enough, while backing up & coming to a complete stop (but still in reverse) the car lunged back another foot or better causing me to collide with a basketball pole in my driveway. after that, when i pump fuel niw i have to hold the handle so it doesn't touch or lean against the bottom part of the neck hole. otherwise, any fuel you try to put in it will flow right back out & run down the car to the ground. i have repeatedly asked dealer to deal with these issues & told them i don't feel like ithe vehicle is safe at this point. after months of run around & not returning my calls, dealer referred me to toyota today.

Lag and hesitation when going to full throttle on the gas pedal. it hesitates for a second and then finally grabs on to accelerate. it has done this since i purchased it but was hoping it would work itself out eventually, but this hasn't happened. toyota did a tsb software update for the 4 cylinder but not the v6.
