2013 Toyota Camry

WHEN ACCELERATING AT A STOP LIGHT OR WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE A TURN, IT HESITATES WHEN STEPPING ON IT TO GO. IT WILL GO ABOUT 5 - 10 FEET AND HESITATE, JUST ENOUGH TO MAKE EVERYONE BEHIND YOU THINK YOU ARE GOING AND THEY CLOSE BEHIND YOU ENOUGH TO ALMOST HIT YOU BECAUSE THEY DON'T REALIZE THE CARE HESITATES. IT HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN 4 TIMES. IT IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN.

HESITATION OCCURS WHEN ACCELERATING ACROSS AN INTERSECTION OR PULLING INTO TRAFFIC, USUALLY FROM A STOPPED POSITION. CAR INITIALLY STARTS THEN HESITATES & FEELS LIKE IT WILL SHUT OFF. TO GET ACROSS THE INTERSECTION YOU NEED TO "FLOOR IT" WHICH MAKES THE ENGINE "ROAR" BUT LITTLE ACTION FOR ALL THE NOISE. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES IN 2 YRS (ESTIMATED DATE & MILEAGE FOR 1ST OCCURRENCE). SOMETIMES THERE ARE LONG STRETCHES BETWEEN OCCURRENCES. IT IS DANGEROUS & I LACK CONFIDENCE AT TIMES TO PULL OUT. THE TECHNICIAN DIDN'T EXPERIENCE THE PROBLEM WHEN MENTIONED ON 2 STOPS AT THE DEAL FOR AN OIL CHANGE. TORQUE CONVERTER SOFTWARE UPDATE MADE NO DIFFERENCE. MY PREVIOUS CAMRY NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM.

DUE THE FACT BRAKE AND ACCELERATOR R ARE MUCH TOOOOOO CLOSE TOGETHER PULLED INTO PARKING SPACE BOTH BRAKE AND ACCELERATOR WERE GOING !WHEN I PUT FOOT ON BRAKES !!!!!!!!!! TOYOTA COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG.! BE AWARE OUR SECOND CAR THE 2005 BUICK LA CROSSE AND PREVIOUS CARS , WE NEVER HAVE PROBLEM SINCE THE BRAKE AND ACCELERATOR ARE PROPERLY SPACED [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED TO PROPERLY RESTORE VISIBILITY. THE WIPERS ONLY SMEARED WATER BACK AND FORTH INSTEAD OF WIPING THE WATER OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THE DEALER SWAPPED OUT THE WINDSHIELD BLADES ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS AND REINFORCED THE WIPER ARMS; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO OCCUR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,500.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED UNDER A VOLUNTARY RECALL FOR SPEED CONTROL, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED INDEPENDENTLY WITHOUT WARNING. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND FAILED TO RESPOND. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO THE SHELVES IN HIS GARAGE AND THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED AND NO INJURIES WERE SUSTAINED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATING AS DESIGNED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000.

ON A COLD START, THE ENGINE SOUNDS ROUGH FOR ABOUT A SECOND OR TWO. GRINDING TYPE NOISE. COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FROM THE NORMAL WARM-ENGINE START-UP SOUNDS. ALSO, THE ENGINE DOES NOT SOUND RIGHT FOR ABOUT THE FIRST MILE OR SO AFTER A COLD START, SORT OF A WHINING NOISE FROM THE FRONT RIGHT SIDE OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. CLEARLY AUDIBLE WHEN LIGHTLY REVVING BETWEEN 1500-2000 RPMS. ALTHOUGH TSB-004-13-A HAS NOT YET BEEN EXPANDED TO INCLUDE THE 2013 CAMRY, IT SOUNDS A LOT LIKE THAT EXACT ISSUE MAY BE AFFECTING THE 2013S. THIS 2013 WAS BUILT IN THE SAME PLANT AS THE 2010-12 CAMRYS THAT ARE PART OF THE TSB. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER TWICE AND WAS TOLD THAT 'THESE SOUNDS ARE WITHIN THE NORMAL RANGE OF NOISES AN ENGINE CAN MAKE'. I DISAGREE. THE VEHICLE NOW HAS 37K MILES ON IT, I AM HOPING IT WILL BE FIXED PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION OF THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY (60K). *TR

STEPPED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL DURING PARKING ACCELERATOR GOT ACTIVATED BY THE BRAKE PEDAL.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!SCARY! OUR SECOND CAR 2005 BUICK LACROSSE DOES NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM! THE CONSUMER STATED HE AND HIS ARE DEAF. THEREFORE, THE KEYLESS IGNITION IS LIFE THREATENING TO THEM. THE CONSUMER STATED HE HAD TO HOOK THE KEYS TO HIS BELT IN ORDER TO BE REMINDED OF THE ENGINE HE MISTAKENLY LEFT RUNNING PARKED IN THE GARAGE. UPDATED 09/23/15.*JB UPDATED 4/14/16 *JS

WHEN 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. ONE TIME THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED TO ABOUT 20 MPH AND THEN THE ENGINE RPM RETURNED TO IDLE. THE ACCELERATOR WAS PUSHED TO THE FLOOR AND THE RPM REMAINED AT IDLE. THE ACCELERATOR WAS RELEASED AND PUSHED DOWN AGAIN. THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED NORMALLY. THIS HAPPENED ONLY ONE TIME. THE INTERMITTENT HESITATION IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN TRYING TO CROSS A BUSY INTERSECTION WHEN THE CROSS TRAFFIC IS UNCONTROLLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE PROBLEM. THE TECHNICIAN COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE CONDITION. THE U760E TORQUE CONVERTER SHUDDER RECALL UPGRADE WAS PERFORMED. THIS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THE SERVICE ADVISOR SAID THAT THE TECHNICIAN SAID THAT SOME TRANSMISSION HESITATION WAS NORMAL. THE SERVICE ADVISOR ALSO SAID THERE HAD BEEN OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS CONDITION. THERE ARE ALSO COMPLAINTS ON THE ONLINE AUTOMOBILE FORUMS. THIS CONDITION IS DANGEROUS AND NOT NORMAL. *TR
