I have a 2012 toyota camry. While making a turn the car loses acceleration. If the turn is long, as in a cloverleaf exit, the vehicle will almost stop. Pressing the gas has no effect. The vehicle will lag until it almost stops or until you come out of the turn. From what i find on the internet, this is a common problem with 2012 and later toyota camrys but dealers stonewall about it. I hope you get enough complaints…

As i am accelerating between 20-50 mph the car shudders. I called my local toyota dealership and they want to charge me a diagnostic fee of $140 just to see if that is the problem. My son has a 2014 and my daughter has a 2015 and all have the same exact problem. I have 110,000 miles on my car, my son 80,000 and my daughter 70,000 miles. This should be a recall since we all have the same exact problem. I am afraid as…

When left foot is momentarily left on brake while depressing accelerator with right foot acceleration begins then stops for several seconds causing a real safety issue. Toyota admitted they have a program built into the camry to offset "sudden acceleration" issue. So, they admitted they eliminated a major issue while creating another issue. Toyota's logic is ridiculous. They are idiots!!!

This is dangerous. I've since been advised of…
