2011 camry with 27,373 miles entered traffic on fwy at 50+ mph started to shimmy violently engulfing me from all sides it was if car was possessed. In my 61 years i have never experienced anything like this. The radio cut out i felt pressure waves and noise throughout the car. I found a gas station just off fwy and checked the tires since that seemed the logical culprit, i found nothing unusual. To get home i had to…

Every morning when the vehicle is first started up and both the engine and transmission are cold, vehicle exhibits a transmission flare between the first and second gear during normal driving behavior whilst the accelerator pedal is depressed - even if only slightly. During the incident, which lasts no more than five seconds, the engine "revs" significantly (up to 2500-3000 rpm from 1000) and the transmission…

Transmission issues..... While doing mostly city driving and in the first ten minutes of driving, transmission will not know what gear it wants to be in, there is a whiny noise associated with it also (never heard this before in the toyota's i have owned). While at a complete stop the vehicle will almost die to conserve fuel. When you go to start back up the vehicle will do this gear "checking" process leading to…

2011 camry le - the vehicle doesn't seem to know what gear it wants to be in after a stop light or stop sign. I can press the gas pedal and the car minimally responds, slowly moving and then suddenly going as if the transmission is slipping. If i drive it like i stole off ever stop sign/stop light it would do alright but you really have to stomp it off the light and i don't drive that way. Again the transmission is…

There is a transmission issue at low speeds, mostly city driving, the car jerks with abrupt shifting, and sometimes harsh shifting. Also it feels like the car pauses a little when shifting at low speeds. This problem is very consistent among other owners in forums i have reviewed. It needs to be addressed and fixed. *tr

Soon after i bought this brand new 2011 camry the car started acting weird. A constant problem that appear a lot of time when i am driving concerns the transmission. At low speeds, mostly city driving, the car jerks with abrupt shifting, and sometimes harsh shifting. Also it feels like the car pauses a little when shifting at low speeds. The thing that concerns me and my wife the most is that the car takes off like…

Transmission whines at low speeds, very annoying. It slips between 1st & 2nd gear. Down shifts rough. Something bumps around trunk when taking off & stopping. Dealer tells me that all this is normal. I will never buy another toyota ever. My advise to others, don't buy 2011 camry, you'll be sorry. *tr

At low speed (15-39 mph), the transmission shift roughly. The car was either pulled back (1) by the engine or jumped (2,while my foot on the break pedal) during the down shift. The pulling back (1) gives the same effect as using engine breaking in the manual transmission. Based on the signs that i have seen on interstate, state laws (in some states) prohibit driver to use engine breaking. The jumping (2) was very…

Every time i release or push acceleration more than 50 miles car gets pulse.(example : generator move forward and backward every time piston goes up and down) i fell like engine will drop.

Now we want keep speed 60 miles so we will press pedal to maintain speed now as soon as you will remove pedal you will feel pulse. Now, you…

Accident description: on august 7, 2011, i got in my car to back out of the driveway. I stopped the car approximately 30 feet from a closed gate by stepping on the brake and shifted the vehicle into park. With the car stopped and in park, i opened my door and exited the vehicle, leaving the door open. I walked 25 feet from my car to the gate and opened it. When i turned to attend to the other side of the gate, i saw…

My vehicle at below 40 mph, mostly city driving, the car jerks with abrupt shifting, and sometimes harsh shifting. Also it feels like the car pauses a little when shifting at low speeds. The car takes off like it rushes rather than a smooth acceleration, though i press the gas pedal gently. This really bothers me during the rush hour because my both kids are in the back seat at that time. I have been to the toyota…

Power Train · Steering · Vehicle Speed Control
Ever since i bought the car (4 cyl., xle) a year ago: automatic transmission shifts sometimes slowly after a pause or unexpectedly and abruptly as it searches for gears, and it races intermittently, especially at start-up; it coasts a few inches after i put it into park, even on level ground. Power steering requires constant correction, even on level road surfaces. Cruise control is slow to respond to adjustments…
