I stopped my car at my mailbox at the foot of my 45% incline short driveway and put it in park with the engine running. After getting out to get my mail, i re-entered the car, put the car in drive, and touched the accelerator. The car engine "roared" more loudly than i had ever heard and lunged forward uphill towards my brick home. I slammed the brake pedal one time as hard as i could and the car stopped. I had not…

My 2005 toyota camry xle v6 car has serious transmission issues. It hesitates and takes several seconds at slow speeds to find a gear to shift into. The engine revs and the rpms increase but the transmission does not engage. This is especially troublesome when making turns and makes me vulnerable to being rear ended in right hand turns, but exposes me to being broadsided in left hand turns. Just last week during a…

I have a 2005 toyota camry and i have been complaining about the transmission shifting since about 6 months after i bought it. They told me that they would reflash the computer that controls it and that should fix the problem. It has not. Am i going to have a run away vehicle next? The car drags and then goes fast. They did not seem to do anything, but give me lip service. *tr

I have a 2005 toyota camry se v6 3.3l . 31,000 miles. Purchased new. Since new this vehicle has had an intermittent problem with the transmission shifting. It seems to get confused on what gear to shift into when you let off the accelerator at speeds between 20 and 45. You can feel the transmission jump back and forth between gears. It is not suttle at all. It feels like the trans is on its way out. I know quite a…

Hesitation in acceleration after depression of accelerator. Car will eventually respond but only after a second or two. Upon pulling into a parking space with the intent of moving slowly up to the bumper curb it can suddenly surge (jump) ahead uncontrollably. If the driver is waiting in a left hand turn lane awaiting for time to make a safe turn in front of oncoming traffic it is very dangerous to assume that your…

Incidents happen at around 25-40mph, mainly while coasting in heavy traffic, also while in process of slow acceleration while changing lanes. Vehicle drops in speed/delays and then lunges, many times making a strong kick/jerk before allowing completion of lane change or acceleration. Has caused quite a few close calls while merging into…

The automobile consistently hesitates when depressing the accelerator. This occurs when leaving stop signs, merging at medium speeds and passing on 2-way or divided highways and accelerating after decelerating. It then over accelerates when it makes up its mind you want to go faster after a second or two. Toyota claims the car works as designed. I fear for my life in this automobile, since the other drivers do not…
