My 2011 camry has 55k miles and having hard transmission shifts. Specially when coming to stop there a lag in rpm and transmission moves therefore, car feels like a punch in transmission. This could be dangerous in emergency stops because car doesn't want to stop. Also, when accelerating car let you feel changing gears. I hope nhtsa will raise our voice to toyota. Thank you

My car has been experiencing hard shifts when switching gears and sometimes going idle during gear shifts. I've taken it to the toyota dealer several times and they can never replicate the issue. I took my car in for service a few days ago and they didn't notice a transmission leak that another third party mechanic did. Makes me wonder they are trying to avoid accountability here. The third party mechanic told me…

It did that for a few days before it…

I am presently driving but yes if it fails again it could be a safety issue if im caught in the middle of a very busy highway and it fails again. I just wanted you to be aware. Also something totally unrelated is i would suggest every seat belt in any vehicle be a fluorescent orange so it is very obvious to…

Transmission will appear to disengage between 2nd and 3rd gear when first starting off in cold or after setting for long periods (9-10 hrs.). Starting from a dead stop the car will feel and appear to start off normally, then the transmission will disengage, and the rpms will shoot up if you do not take you foot off of the accelerator. After releasing the accelerator the transmission will engage and continue on…

When first starting out with cold engine, stopping for traffic light, cars transmission does not fully engage properly. When leaving intersection, accelerating the engine, the car will creep very slowly for about 50 feet or so, then seems to slowly engage as it normally should. After car is warm, it seems to run fine for the rest of the day. This obviously irritates cars behind me, but even more so, creates a…

New brakes were put on my car on 11/23/13. A short time later, i was approaching a red light and began to slow down. Upon doing so the abs system kicked in and when i applied my foot to the breaks they would not work. As i approached the intersection, i made a sharp right 90 degree turn to avoid going through the red light as the vehicle would not stop and i would have been in a terrible accident.
