Toyota Camry transmission problems

I PURCHASED A 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY SE WITH A SIX SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. THE TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING AT ABOUT 750 MILES. IT HAS GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. I THOUGHT MAYBE THERE IS A BREAK IN PERIOD UNTIL IT SLIPPED WHEN I PULLED OUT OF A PARKING LOT ON TO A VERY BUSY STREET. THE TRANSMISSION JUST QUIT THE ENGINE RACED BUT THE CAR WOULDN'T ACCELERATE. AS I WAS IN TRAFFIC I TRIED TO COAST TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD. I GUESS I STILL HAD MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THERE WAS A LOUD BANG AND THE TRANSMISSION STARTED WORKING AGAIN. AS I WAS TRYING TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT AND WAS PULLING TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD THE SUDDEN APPLICATION OF THE TRANSMISSION SHOT ME UP AND OVER THE CURB DAMAGING THE RIGHT SIDE WHEELS AND THE FRONT BUMPER. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG AND THE TRANSMISSION HAD NO CODES AND THEY COULD DO NOTHING ABOUT MY CONCERN. I RESEARCHED THIS CONDITION ONLINE AFTER SPEAKING WITH THE SERVICE ADVISOR TO SEE IF OTHERS WERE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. I FOUND HUNDREDS OF CASES JUST LIKE MINE. ONE REFERRED ME TO TOYOTA WEB SITE. THERE WAS A PHONE NUMBER SO I CALLED AND TOLD THEM WHAT WAS HAPPENING. THEY GAVE ME A CASE NUMBER AND TOLD ME THEY WOULD CONTACT ME. THE NEXT DAY A PAUL TIMBERLAKE FROM TOYOTA CALLED AND TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT IT. HE MENTIONED THAT THE DEALER FOWLER TOYOTA IN NORMAN OKLAHOMA COULDN'T GET IT TO ACT UP. HE THEN TOLD ME "THE CONDITION WAS NORMAL." I WAS SHOCKED. I TOLD HIM THE BLACK SPOT ON THE CURB WAS STILL THERE. HE SAID "WELL YOU CANT PROVE IT THAT THE TRANSMISSION CAUSED THE ACCIDENT." AGAIN I WAS SHOCKED. THE PROBLEM IS THIS CONDITION IS GOING TO COST SOMEONE THEIR LIFE. THERE IS A PETITION BEING CIRCULATED BY OWNERS SUCH AS MYSELF. THIS CONDITION IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT COULD AND DOES HAPPEN AT ANY TIME. MR TIMBERLAKE ALSO SAID "THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT YOU HAVE NEVER CHANGED THE OIL." I WAS AGAIN SHOCKED. I CHANGED THE OIL MYSELF AND HAVE THE RECIPT. *TR

2007 CAMRY HESITATES TO ACCELERATE FROM RAMP TO INTERSTATE OR INTO TRAFFIC ON BUSY STREETS. VERY DANGEROUS. DEALERSHIP STATES THAT THE CAR NEEDS TO SELF-ADJUST TO MY DRIVING HABITS IN ITS COMPUTER. IT STILL HESITATES ON OCCASION AFTER TWO YEARS OF OWNING IT. DEALERSHIP DENIES BEING ABLE TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM WHEN THEY TEST-DRIVE IT. *TR

TRANSMISSION STARTED TO ACT UP AT AROUND 40 MPH. TOOK IT TO CERTIFIED TRANSMISSION WHO IN TURN TRIED DIFFERENT PARTS, THEY EVEN TOOK TO THE TOYOTA DEALER FOR ASSISTANCE WITH THE PROBLEM. AFTER OVER A MONTH, THEY DECIDED I SHOULD REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. EVEN AFTER THE NEW TRANSMISSION CERTIFIED TRANSMISSION STILL WAS TESTING THE CAR AND WOULD STALL. THE CAR NEVER STALLED BEFORE THE NEW TRANNY. CERTIFIED FINALLY CALLED FOR ME TO PICK UP MY CAR. I ASKED IF HE WAS SURE IT WAS SAFE AND HE SAID YES. FRIDAY LATE AFTERNOON I PICKED UP THE CAR AND PAID $4,000 FOR TRANSMISSION. DROVE IT SATURDAY ONCE AND IT STARTED TO DOG A FEW TIMES. SUNDAY I WENT TO GROCERY STORE AND ON THE WAY HOME THE CAR DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BUSIEST STREET IN KANSAS CITY. I WAS PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE CALLING MY INS. TOW SERVICE WHEN I WAS REARENDED AT ABOUT 40 MPG. WHEN IT WAS ALL SAID AND DONE WITH FIGHTING WITH EVERYONE, WITH NO CARE OR CONCERN FROM ANYONE, I FINALLY GAVE UP FIGHTING. I ENDED UP LOSING MONEY WITH THE OTHER INS. CO. BECAUSE EVEN IF THEY REPAIRED THE DAMAGE, THE CAR STILL DIDN'T WORK AND CERTIFIED TRIED TO SAY IT COULD HAVE BEEN SOMETHING ELSE. NOW AFTER WHAT I KNOW, I FEEL CERTIFIED TRANSMISSION DID NOT TREAT ME FAIRLY. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHENEVER THE CONTACT DECELERATES FROM 20 MPH AND THEN BEGINS TO ACCELERATE, THE VEHICLE STALLS FOR 1-5 SECONDS BEFORE ACCELERATING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FAILURE WAS A CHARACTERISTIC OF THE VEHICLE AND WOULD REPAIR ITSELF OVER TIME. THE FAILURE STILL PERSISTS. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 37,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 23,000. UPDATED 09/10/08. *LJ UPDATED 09/16/08. *JB

THE CAR SEVERELY VIBRATES EVEN ON LOW SPEED WHICH MAKES DRIVING LIKE RIDING A HORSE. ALSO IT DOESN'T ACCELERATE PROPERLY WHEN I WANT TO, WHICH IS REALLY DANGEROUS IN MANY SITUATIONS. IT CAN CAUSE ACCIDENTS. THERE'S NOISE COMES FROM TRANSMISSION AND BRAKES ALL THE TIME. I WENT TO THE DEALER TWICE AND THE TECHNICIAN TRIED TO PLAY THE IDIOT GAME BY SAYING I SEE NOTHING WRONG. I CONTACTED TOYOTA AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IF I'M CRAZY ENOUGH TO BUY THEIR CAR, I SHOULD KEEP QUIET. I MOVED TO CA RECENTLY AND WITH HEAVY TRAFFIC, THE CAR BECOMES REALLY ANNOYING. *TR
