    75,000 miles on my 2010 toyota camry: for the past few years on cold mornings, the car will reverse and proceed 100 yards to the stop sign. Then when i step on gas, car revs up but doesn't move. Dealer said new transmission needed. Quoted me 7,000$. Another shop said it was the trans computer and or solenoid. They replaced. Was fine for a few months... Now does the same. Huge safety issue. Services regularly.

    Transmission is aggressive. Reluctant to change gears resulting in a decelerating affect (downhill, uphill, coasting and in traffic). Danger to personal safety and other drivers as brake lights are not applied to notify others of vehicle slowing down. At a standstill, transmission is slow to accelerate and merge onto highway. Driving similar to steering a car with a brake caliper stuck. *tr

    We have owned this car since new and followed the maintenance schedule religiously.

Additionally the slave cylinder is leaking after the transmission was replaced at 23000 miles. Prior to the last 3000 miles, the car had never burned through oil between oil changes.…

    Our toyota camry has been making extremely loud noises and knocking noises for over a year now. Keep getting told our camry is not a recall but all the other toyotas that have this same problem have been serviced and fixed and recalled or a tsb bulletin has been issued.. Just not ours ? This is ridiculous. I will never buy another toyota ever now.

    At low speeds, vehicle is constantly shifting gears, making it impossible to maintain constant speed under 40 mph without complete concentration on throttle or by utilizing cruise control. Gas pedal is highly sensitive and any small increase in depression of pedal at low speeds causes the vehicle to jerk forward. Vehicle fails to go into neutral and decelerates rapidly when gas pedal is released. Computer memory has…

    I am having issues with my camry bouncing, swaying, pulling left and right, the engine, transmission or axles shake. It feels like the brakes are pulsing or on at random times. I believe there are several issues with this car and toyota is not reporting the problems. I also believe the mechanics are falsifying documents which are affecting my safety and the safety of others. Brake issues are life threating and…
