I have a 2007 toyota camry that i purchased new. Since new the automatic transmission hesitates when the car is slowed to about 20mph and when you try to accelerate nothing happens for a few seconds before it resumes. The dealer said they cannot do anything about it and that's the way a "drive by wire" transmission works. I called the toyota hotline and got nowhere. I seems that i am not the only one with this…

Speed control is unstable. When the speed control is on at highway speed, the slightest grade i.e. From an overpass, causes the transmission to downshift one or two gears. Then the car will accelerate beyond the setspeed and then upshift. The car will then be unable to maintain speed again, downshift one or 2 gears, and once again accelerate beyond the set speed, repeating over and over and worsening each cycle.…

From the time i purchased the car i noticed that when i floored the gas pedal or just stepped on it to pass a car, there would be a hesitation of 4-5 seconds before it would wind up and then go. I talked to the dealer who said that yes they were having problems with the early models of 2007's and he got approval from toyota to replace the transmission. This did not fix the problem, i went back to the dealer and they…

When car is accelerated from dead stop, as car passes 20 mph, the car surges, hunts for gear, up shifts and downshifts wildly and sporadically, lurching and over-revving to 5,000 rpm or higher. Car cannot be safely driven. When placing car in park the car jumps forward. I am concerned about the safety of the vehicle for my family. Toyota said this issue is normal and the car has to get used to the way we drive it.…

07 camry le 4 cyl throttle and acceleration is horrific. During acceleration, when you take your foot off the pedal and then accelerate again a long unrepsonsive delay takes place. Also very unrepsonsive during acceleration. Have almost been rear ended many times. Very dangerous. *nm

Need to accelerate at a lane merge on the free way. In response to pushing on the accelerator pedal, the car failed to respond (hesitated and took several repeated attempts to increase the speed).....failure to quickly accelerate without hesitation can result in death on the free highway! Dealer was responsive..(recalibrate ecu engine and transmission - "aper tsb# eg056-06) and was told: "condition is much better…

When accelerating, car stops dead for few seconds before trans engages and propels forward like a rocket. When trying to pass, depressing gas pedal, trans stops dead then propels forward at high rate. When slowing down, trans propels faster before slowing. *nm

From day one i had concerns with the transmission performance. It shifts very abruptly, up or down, at low speeds. Hesitation is frequent and slippage occurs when trying to cross an intersection on merge into traffic, causing dangerous situations. I took it to the dealer, who claimed many times that it was normal, i must drive it more for the car to learn my driving habits. I filed a complaint with toyota, a…

I bought a 2007 camry (6 cylinder) with 6 speed transmission in sept. 2006. The transmission slips between 3rd and 4th gears when it is cold. It works normally after it has warmed up, although it seems to be somewhat indecisive, especially when accelerating. It has been back to the dealership for normal service three times. It has 15,300 miles on it now. The dealer service department wants to reprogram the computer…

Car hesitates and automatic transmission shifts abruptly at highway speeds (55-65 mph). Hesitation is particularity alarming. If i needed to accelerate quickly from a stop, this car would not respond. Dealer states they have never heard of these problems, yet the hesitation on the 2007 toyota camry is well documented on web sites (edmunds etc.). Dealer also tried to pass off this defect as "this is a drive by wire…

My 2007 camry le (4-cyl) hesitates when accelerating, sometimes 2-3 seconds, to the point that it seems unsafe. The technician said that it is designed to have an "adaptive memory" meaning that if i drive conservatively, with normally no quick acceleration, that it "remembers" that and will not accelerate quickly when i want it to. *nm

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…

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

I have had my computer "software" re-installed 2x to attempt to fix a lack of acceleration. Several times (making a left turn) while starting from a stop, the car will hesitate for 2-4 seconds, giving approaching cars enough time to come close to hitting my car. This has happened numerous times. I am afraid to drive this car and am not in a financial position to trade it in yet or sell it outright. I owe too much on…

He has taken the vehicle to the dealer on numerous occasions and they repaired the tcm. However, all remedies to date have been insufficient in correcting the failure. The failure mileage was 1,941 and current mileage was 12,878.

When car is accelerated from one gear to the next, the car hesitates to accelerate and suddenly jerks. It's very dangerous while merging onto highway or try to pick up speed at a stop sign. I am very disappointed experiencing this from a brand new camry. *jb
