2018 Toyota Camry

THIS CAR ONLY HAS 120 MILES ON IT, BUT THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN PRESENT SINCE I TOOK DELIVERY. UPON INITIAL ACCELERATION FROM A DEAD STOP, THERE IS A LONG DEAD ZONE IN THE ACCELERATOR LEADING TO POOR THROTTLE RESPONSE. IT'S HARD TO TELL WHEN THE VEHICLE IS GOING TO BEGIN MOVING. ONCE MOVING, THE TRANSMISSION JUMPS IN AND OUT OF VARIOUS GEARS, AND THE CAR CAN'T DECIDE WHICH GEAR TO USE. IT ALSO SLAMS IN AND OUT OF SOME GEARS WITH NO CONSISTENCY. IT SEEMS LIKE A PROGRAM ISSUE, BUT IT NEEDS TO BE HANDLED VERY SOON OR THIS TRANSMISSION MAY NOT LAST 10-20K MILES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS UNABLE TO BE ENGAGED DUE TO THE PRE-COLLISION SYSTEM. WHILE ENGAGING THE CRUISE CONTROL, THE PRE-COLLISION INDICATORS WOULD ILLUMINATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SUNNYSIDE TOYOTA (27000 LORAIN RD, NORTH OLMSTED, OH 44070) WHERE THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DUPLICATED ON A TEST DRIVE; HOWEVER, THE PRE-COLLISON SYSTEM WAS RESET. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,000. *TT *TR BRAKING ASSIST,ANTI BRAKING, ENGINE, ELECTONIC WARNING SYSTEM AND MORE. UPDATED 9/21/18*JB

TRANSMISSION IS FEELING VERY JERKY AFTER 5000 MILES. HOLDING ON TO LOW GEARS WAY TOO LONG. I'M DOING 40 MPH AND THE RPM IS OVER 3500. THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO KEEP MISSING GEARS. CONSTANTLY DOWNSHIFTING. MILEAGE HAS SURPRISINGLY GONE DOWN. EVEN ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN IM DOING 65+ ITS STRUGGLING TO FIND GEARS AND KEEPS DOWNSHIFTING.

WHEN THE CAR IN THE LOW SPEED AROUND 20 MILES/HOUR AND THE ENGINE AROUND 2000RPM, THE TRANSMISSION IS WIRED TRYING TO FIND SPECIFIED GEAR, MAKE THE CAR SPEED INCREASED AND DECREASED, IT LIKE JERK THE CAR. ANOTHER PROBLEM IS WHEN YOU TRYING TO SPEED UP CATCH UP CARS SPEED FROM LOWER SPEED ON HIGHWAY, PRESS THE GAS PEDAL, THE CAR JUST LIKE THINKING THE LIFE PHILOSOPHY THE RPM REACH 4000 THE CAR SUDDENLY SPEED UP.

2018 TOYOTA CAMRY HAS BAD TRANSMISSION SINCE THE 1 ST WEEK OF HAVING THIS CAR IT HAS BEEN GIVING ME PROBLEMS IT SLAMS INTO GEAR SOMETIMES, IT HESITATES WHEN STEPPING ON THE GAS LIKE IT DOESN'T KNOW WEATHER TO GO OR NOT IT JERKS LIKE IT CANT FIND WHICH GEAR TO GO INTO THE CAR IS REALLY BAD AND I CANT SEEM TO GET ANY HELP FROM TOYOTA THEY TOLD ME TO KEEP DRIVING MAYBE THE CAR NEEDS TO GET USE TO MY DRIVING. THEY TOLD ME ITS A 4 CYLINDER THAT'S HOW THEY DRIVE. THEY TOLD ME I SHOULD DRIVE IT MANUAL MODE. IM JUST FED UP .

WHILE DRIVING MY 2018 TOYOTA CAMRY ON MAY 15, 2018, MY DASH DISPLAYED A MESSAGE OF "PRE-COLLISION SYSTEM MALFUNCTION" AS WELL AS A WARNING LIGHT, A LIGHT DEPICTING TWO VEHICLES COLLIDING AND THE MESSAGE "VISIT YOUR DEALER". I UNDERSTAND TOYOTA HAD A RECALL ON 2015 MODEL TOYOTAS FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE HOWEVER, HAS ANYONE ELSE EXPERIENCED THIS WITH THEIR 2018 TOYOTAS OR HAS A RECALL BEEN RELEASED FOR THIS ISSUE? THIS VEHICLE IS 6 MONTHS OLD, PURCHASING IT IN OCTOBER LAST YEAR, AND I HAVE ALREADY HAD ONE RECALL FOR THE FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM AND NOW THE PRE-COLLISION SYSTEM HAS APPARENTLY MALFUNCTIONED. MY TOYOTA DEALER REFUSES TO ISSUE ME A LOANER VEHICLE SO I DO NOT HAVE TO CONTINUOUSLY TAKE OFF OF WORK TO BRING THE VEHICLE INTO HAVE IT DIAGNOSED, WHICH THEY HAVE REQUESTED I ALLOW AN HOUR AND A HALF TO CONDUCT. I PURCHASED A NEW VEHICLE UNDER WARRANTY SO I WOULD NOT HAVE THE PROBLEMS A USED CAR COULD CREATE HOWEVER I AM CURRENTLY REGRETTING THE DECISION OF PURCHASING A TOYOTA AS IT WILL NOW HAVE BEEN IN THE SHOP TWICE FOR ISSUES BEYOND MY DOING OR CONTROL BUT CONTINUES TO CREATE AN INCONVENIENCE TO ME FINANCIALLY AS IT REQUIRES ME TO TAKE TIME OFF WORK FOR DIAGNOSTICS AND REPAIRS.

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR ON A SECONDARY ROAD AND WARNING LIGHTS STARTED GOING OFF AT THE SAME TIME(ABS,PRECOLLISION WARNING, ENGINE LIGHT,ETC.) MY HUSBAND DROVE IT TO THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. THE TOYOTA SERVICE REP ADVISES ME THAT THE ENGINE WIRES HAVE BEEN CHEWED BY RODENTS. HE ALSO ADVISES ME THAT THIS IS NOT A TOYOTA PROBLEM SO MY BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY WOULD NOT COVER IT. HE ADVISED MY AUTO INSURANCE WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. THE PROBLEM IS A TOYOTA PROBLEM. THEY HAVE STARTED USING PLANT-BASED MATERIAL TO COVER THE WIRING WHICH ATTRACTS RODENTS. THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT, BUT NOT FOR MY MODEL OF CAR. ALSO, THIS IS GOING TO GET SOMEONE KILLED, BECAUSE YOU CAN'T HARDLY KEEP THE CAR ON THE ROAD AFTER IT HAPPENS. I DON'T HAVE ANY PAPERWORK YET, BECAUSE MY CAR IS STILL AT THE DEALERSHIP.
