2015 Toyota Camry

V6 ENGINE STUMBLED UPON ACCELLERATION IN TRAFFIC. I WAS GOING ABOUT 35 MPH AND STARTED TO CHANGE LANES AND SPEED UP TO THE 50 MPH SPEED LIMIT ON THE 4 LANE CITY HIGHWAY. AS I SPED UP THE CAR FELT LIKE THE ENGINE HAD BEEN TURNED OFF. THIS LASTED ABOUT 3 SECONDS THEN SPED UP NORMALLY. WE HAD JUST DRIVEN 50 MILES AT 70 MPH SPEEDS AND HAD SPENT 2 HOURS HAVING LUNCH WITH FRIENDS. CAR WAS PARKED IN 80 DEGREE SUN DURING THE MEAL. THIS "STUMBLE"HAS HAPPENED TWO TIMES PREVIOUSLY AND ONE COMPLAINT FORM COMPLETED (# 10896696).

ACCELERATION HESITATION, NUMEROUS INSTANCES. ADVANCING FROM A STOP OR AT LOW SPEED, THE CAMRY HESITATES TO ACCELERATE FOR 2-10 SECONDS. ON JUNE 2, 2017 I HAD DRIVEN 5 BLOCKS, STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN, THEN ADVANCED TO ENTER 35-40 MPH HIGHWAY TRAFFIC. THE CAR ACHIEVED ABOUT 8 MPH, THEN WOULD NOT ACCELERATE FOR OVER 5 SECONDS WHILE TRAFFIC IS COMING AT ME. VERY DANGEROUS! I HAVE A DEALER APPOINTMENT ON 06JUNE2017 TO HAVE THIS LOOKED AT AGAIN. THEY HAVE TRIED DIAGNOSING THIS TWO PREVIOUS TIMES AND COULD FIND NOTHING. THEY SAID THE TRANSMISSION 'LEARNS' FROM THE DRIVER, SO THEY ERASED THE LEARNING TO START AFRESH. THIS DID NOT CURE THE PROBLEM. THE HESITATION IS INFREQUENT, BUT VERY DANGEROUS. NO REGULAR PATTERN TO IT. CAN OCCUR WHEN STARTING A DRIVE, OR WHEN THOROUGHLY WARMED UP.

WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A COMPLETE STOP OR WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE A LEFT TURN, IT HESITATES AS IF THE CAR HAS STALLED WHEN STEPPING ON THE GAS PEDAL TO GO. IT WILL GO ABOUT 5 -10 FEET JUST ENOUGH TO GET YOU OUT THERE INTO TRAFFIC AND THEN NOSE DIVES BECAUSE IT LOSES ALL FORWARD POWER, STEADY PRESSURE ON GAS PEDAL AND MILKING GAS PEDAL DOES NOT MAKE IT RESUME ANY FASTER. SO FAR IT HAS LASTED 30 TO 45 SECONDS AND THEN RESUMES. THE RPMS STAY AT ABOUT 1 (IDLE) AND THE ECO LIGHT FLASHES RANDOMLY BUT CAR DOES NOT STALL SO FAR JUST LOSES FORWARD MOTION AND WONT ACCELERATE OUT OF THE WAY OF TRAFFIC ONCOMING AND BEHIND YOU. THIS HAS HAPPENED 9-10 TIME OCT 2016-DEC 2016
