Toyota Camry transmission problems

CAR HESITATES WHEN SHIFTING INTO A HIGHER GEAR, IT DOES IT AROUND 35 MILES PER HOUR. SOMETIMES IT SHIFTS VERY HARD LUNGING YOU FORWARD. SOMETIMES WHEN YOU PUT IT IN REVERSE IT GOES INTO REVERSE VERY HARD. THE BRAKES CONTINUE TO SQUEAL, HARDWARE HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE. THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTING HESITATION HAS OCCURRED OVER 250 TIMES. I AM STARTING TO GET NERVOUS DRIVING IT I AM AFRAID SOMEONE THAT MIGHT BE TAILGATING MIGHT HIT ME IN THE REAR. *JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH THE TRANSMISSION ENGAGED AND ACCELERATED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100. WHEN CHANGING LANES THE VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN AND ATTEMPTED TO SHUT OFF. THE MANUFACTURER WAS AWARE OF THE FAILURE. HOWEVER, THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE IT. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 9,000. *AK THE CONSUMER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HAS SINCE BEEN FIXED BY THE DEALERSHIP. UPDATED 06/08/07 *TR

TOYOTA CAMRY LE 2.4 L WINTER WEATHER CAUSE TO VVT ON AUTO TO FAIL AND STALL ENGINE. STALLED ENGINE CAUSED LOST OF CONTROLS, STEERING, BRAKES, ETC..PARTS REPLACED WERE OXYGEN SENSORS, CAT.CONVERTOR, ETC.. THE VVT IS VARIABLE VALVE TIMING CONTROL ALONG WITH OCM, PCM, THROTTLE SENSOR, MASS AIR SENSOR WHICH REGULATES THE ENGINE PERFORMANCE. *TR

I BOUGHT 2 2007 TOYOTA CAMRYS, BOTH ARE 4 CYL CARS. WHEN DRIVING THESE CARS, AND YOU COME OFF A RAMP OR YOU ARE AT AN INTERSECTION AND YOU TRY TO ACCELERATE, THERE IS SUBSTANTIAL HESITATION. THIS HAS BECOME VERY VERY DANGEROUS AT TIMES. ON AT LEAST THREE OCCASIONS WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE THERE WAS A 4-5 SECOND "PAUSE" AND THEN THE CAR KICKED IN AND ACCELERATED. THIS IS DANGEROUS. TAKE IT FROM A POLICE OFFICER, THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. *JB

WHENEVER I APPLIED THE BRAKE PEDAL AT LOW SPEEDS BETWEEN 1-30 MPH AS APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION, A STOP SIGN OR AN IMMEDIATE BRAKE THE TRANSMISSION SWITCHES GEARS, AND THE RPMS INCREASED. THE BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND THE CAR JOLTED FORWARD, AND DID NOT STOP UNTIL THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED AGAIN. FORTUNATELY, I HAVE NOT HAD AN ACCIDENT. OTHERS HAVE. I HAVE HAD THE DEFECTIVE BRAKE PROBLEM SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW IN 2004. I HAD THE DEALER'S REPAIR TECHNICIANS DRIVE THE CAR ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, THEY SAID THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM. THIS WAS NOT HOW ANTI-LOCK BRAKES WERE SUPPOSED TO WORK. TOYOTA NEEDED TO RESEARCH THIS DEFECT THOROUGHLY AND ANNOUNCE A RECALL BEFORE OTHERS GET HURT OR KILLED.*AK

THROTTLE AND TRANSMISSION HESITATION WHEN STARTING OUT FROM STOP, AND WHEN ATTEMPTING TO INCREASE SPEED, IE: HAZARD AVOIDANCE, FOLLOWED BY SPEED OVERSHOOT. CRUISE CONTROL OVER REACTED TO SLIGHT GRADE INCREASE, SUCH AS AN OVERPASS, BY DOWN SHIFTING THE TRANSMISSION 1 TO 2 GEARS AND ACCELERATING PAST SET SPEED BY 7 TO 10 MPH. CAR WILL SLOW TO SET SPEED AND REPEAT THE DOWN SHIFTING AND ACCELERATION UNTIL THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS TURNED OFF OR THE ROAD WAS LEVELED. DURING LONG UP HILL DRIVING THE CRUISE CONTROL HAS TO BE TURNED OFF COMPLETELY AS IT PRESENTED A GREAT POSSIBILITY OF CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THE DEALER MAINTAIED S THAT THE ENGINE, TRANSMISSION, AND CRUISE CONTROL OPERATED NORMALLY. *AK
