Toyota Camry transmission problems

2005 TOYOTA CAMRY LE V6 GRADUALLY SPEED UP TO ABOUT 25 MPH. STOP SHORT (YOU DON'T HAVE TO LOCK THEM UP, BUT STOP QUICKLY) THEN ACCELERATE AGAIN. WHEN I STOP SHORT, MY TRANSMISSION SHIFTS INTO NEUTRAL, AND IT TAKES ABOUT 3 SECONDS TO SHIFT BACK INTO FIRST. WHEN IT DOES, I GET QUITE A JOLT. BROUGHT CAR BACK TO DEALER, THEY ARE SAYING IT IS NORMAL. *NM

WHEN SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR THE TRANSMISSION WILL HESITATE FOR A SECOND OR TWO. AT THE SAME TIME THE WHOLE DRIVE TRAIN WILL SHUDDER. THE HESITATION WILL HAPPEN JUST AS I PULL INTO TRAFFIC FROM A SIDE ROAD. I HAVE HAD THE CAR AT TOYOTA SERVICE THREE TIMES, AND ALL THEY HAVE DONE IS TO CAUSE THE TRANSMISSION TO LEAK OIL. *JB

TWO COMPLAINTS: VEHICLE SHIFTS VERY HARSHLY WHEN PLACED INTO DRIVE WHEN ENGINE IS COLD. WHILE THE VEHICLE IS MOVING AND APPLYING THE BRAKES, THERE IS A MILD TO LOUD CLUNKING SOUND. ON TWO OCCASIONS THE NOISE WAS SO LOUD, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AND A TRANSMISSION SENSOR HAD TO BE REPLACED. FORTUNETLY, I HAVE A GREAT SERVICE DEPT AT TOYOTA. THEY UNDERSTOOD MY COMPLAINT AND IS CURRENTLY REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION. *AK

V6 ENGINE, 5 SPEED TRANSMISSION</A>'; RETURN TRUE;" ONMOUSEOUT="WINDOW.STATUS=''; RETURN TRUE;">AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION</A>'; RETURN TRUE;" ONMOUSEOUT="WINDOW.STATUS=''; RETURN TRUE;">AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION</A>'; RETURN TRUE;" ONMOUSEOUT="WINDOW.STATUS=''; RETURN TRUE;">AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION</A>. VEHICLE FAILS TO ACCELERATE FOR SEVERAL SECONDS AFTER THE ACCELERATOR IS PRESSED FOLLOWING A STOP. APPEARS TO HAPPEN AFTER A QUICK ROLLING STOP AND WHEN THE <A TRUE;">AIR CONDITIONER</A> HAVING TO WORK. CAR IS UNPREDICTABLE, IT WILL START MOVING AFTER THE ACCELERATOR IS PRESSED IN THESE CIRCUMSTANCES. THIS CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE UNPREDICTABLE NATURE OF THROTTLE HESITATION. *JB CAR ALSO HUNTS FOR GEARS AT SLOWER SPEEDS CAUSING UNCOMFORTABLE RIDE AS THE CAR LURCHES FORWARD AT UNPREDICTABLE TIMES AFTER THE ACCELERATOR IS PRESSED. VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT OF THE DEALER THE CAR WAS PURCHASED FROM. I WAS TOLD THIS WAS A PROBLEM WITH ALL THE V6 CAMRY'S WHICH THE DEALER COULD NOT FIX. I WAS ASKED TO BRING THE CAR IN FOR FURTHER TESTING, WHICH I DID, BUT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO ATTEMPT TO FIX THE VEHICLE. *JB THE VEHICLE JERKED THE CONSUMER AROUND AS GEARS WHERE SHIFTED. THE CONSUMER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE SEARCHES FOR THE RIGHT GEAR WHILE TRAVELING AT LOW SPEEDS. *TC *JB

I HAVE A 2004 V6 CAMRY. THE CAR HAS NO CLUES AS TO WHICH GEAR IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE IN. HALF OF THE TIME YOU CAN PUT YOUR FOOT ON THE GAS AND IT WILL GO AND HALF THE TIME IT WILL NOT. I HAVE ALMOST GOTTEN HIT SEVERAL TIMES CHANGING LANES OR PULLING OUT DUE TO THE CAR BEING STUCK IN GEARS. THE SHIFTING BETWEEN 2 AND 3 WILL JERK YOUR NECK. IT HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIPS OVER FOUR TIMES AND EVERYTIME I AM TOLD THAT THIS IS A CHARTERISTIC OF THE CAR. I WENT LAST WEEK...THE GENERAL MANAGER TOLD ME HE FELT THE JERKS IN THE TRANSMISSION AND PROCEEDED TO CALL TOYOTA TO FIND OUT HOW TO FIX IT.30 MINUTES LATER I WAS TOLD THAT I AM ON MY OWN WITH IT. ANOTHER DEALERSHIP TOLD ME TOYOTA HAS HAD THEM REPLACING 02 SENSORS AND MANY OTHER USELESS IDEAS TRYING TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THIS ISSUE IS ON EVERY SINGLE COMPLAINT WEBSITE (INCLUDING THIS ONE) AND I WANT TO KNOW IF SOMEONE HAS TO BE KILLED BEFORE TOYOTA IS MADE TO CORRECT THEIR MISTAKES? THE BRAKES ARE THE SECOND ISSUE...THEY DO NOT WORK!! THEY HAVE BEEN REPORTED OVER AND OVER AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. I HAVE CAME WITHIN INCHES OF HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME SEVERAL TIMES DUE TO THE BRAKES BEING SMASHED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND THE CAR JUST NOT STOPPING.*AK

TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS, SHIFT CABLE FAILED. *BF THE CONSUMER PLACED THE SHIFTER IN PARK AND STARTED TO EXIT THE VEHICLE WHEN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY BEGAN TO MOVE FORWARD. THE CONSUMER LOOKED ATT HE INDICATOR ON THE DASH WHICH INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS STILL IN DRIVE. THE CONSUMER THEN TURNED OFF THE ENGINE. IT WAS LATER DETERMINED THAT THE SHIFT CABLE BROKE. *NM

WHEN DRIVING AT SPEEDS OVER 40 MPH THEN REDUCING SPEED DUE TO TRAFFIC OR TO TURN THERE IS A MARKED DELAY IN THROTTLE AND TRANSMISSION RESPONSE ON RE-ACCELERATION, DANGEROUSLY SLOW WHEN CHANGING LANES ON THE FREEWAY. WHEN THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION FINALLY DUE KICK IN, THE TACHOMETER JUMPS TO RED LINE AND THE CAR ROCKETS FORWARD! *JB

TRANSMISSION MAY DELAY GEAR SELECTION AND ACCELLERATION FOR UP TO 4 SECONDS PUTTING LIVES IN JEAPORDY WHEN WISHING TO ACCCELERATE OR PASS. TRANSMISSION KNOCKS AND SEARCHES WHEN CREAPING IN TRAFFIC BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND GEAR. CLEARING AN INTERSECTION FROM ONCOMING TRAFFIC MAY BE HAZARDOUS. PASSING DOWNSHIFTS ARE COMPLETELY DANGEROUS.....WOULD NOT ATTEMPT TO PASS ANYMORE IN THIS CAR! *AK
