Often during acceleration, my car seems to sputter or misfire. When taking off there seems to be, as the only way i can describe it, an air bubble in the fuel line. Kinda like fuel isn't constantly being fed to the engine. There are gaps. While driving at a constant speed, this does not happen. Also, sometimes when accelerating from a stopped position, my car accelerates slowly and then all of a sudden, takes off as…

Today aug 31 2019, i test drove the above vehicle. 2 things i noticed during driving. 1). At start up there was a very audible ticking sound at the front end of the engine. It was much more audible when the hood was raised, and it stopped after approximately 30 seconds with only a familiar ticking sound of the 4 cylnder engine once it stopped 2). Most important - during acceleration from a stop, the vehicle seemed…

The radar sensor continuously malfunctions and turns itself off. Initially thought by the dealer to be due to rain, even during sunny conditions it malfunctions. The car has to be turned off and turned back on to get radar speed control to work again. I have taken you dealer and they said this is normal and has no fix. This shouldn't be occurring unless their is a direct blockage of radar signal on the sensor.

After slowing down or completely stopping, my car stalls as i reaccelerate. When i slow down (i.e to turn, etc) and then reaccelerate the car stalls, slow to gain speed, and at times even jerks slightly- this mainly occurs when i slow down and then reaccelerate on an incline (i.e getting on a bridge). If i am stopped completely at a light, etc, the car delays upon acceleration, and will kick-in after a couple…

This vehicle gave me problems from the beginning. To begin, it began breaking me in the middle of the road going about 45-50 mph. This continued to happen and my toyota dealer told me that i was a liar. I continued to drive the car, unknowing when it would stop me in the middle of traffic again. It then had electrical problems because the dashboard and radio would go black while i was driving; my air conditioner…

I have had constant problems with my 2018 camry since purchasing may 2018. My car is always jerking as i accelerate and when i'm driving in town, feels like i'm getting rear-ended and hesitating on highway when i have to accelerate into traiffic which is very dangerous when the car won't get up and go. I have had it to the dealer several times. They reset the computer because it can save settings from previous…

Car is often jumpy after accelerating from a complete stop or accelerating after slowing down. I will push the gas pedal down, and there will be a slight delay before the car selects the proper gear, often resulting in the car lurching forward. This only happens in town, not on the highway, and seems to happen more often after turning. And it doesn't happen all the time, but enough for me to take notice after having…

Takata recall: when accelerating and deaccelerating the vehicle i noticed the transmission shifts really rough and makes the car jerky like it's going to stall out. Do not feel safe at all with my brand new car driving this way. I've had the car for 7 months and want to get rid of it as soon as possible for this rough ride experience!

While driving, with or without cruise control on the freeway, the transmission is extremely jerky. Any sort of incline seems to highlight the issue even further! I have taken it to the dealer, only for them to tell me nothing is wrong. But what would i know, even though i drive it 110 miles a day. The problem has also occurred from takeoff from a stop sign or stop light. The rpm's want to jump and the pedal is very…

When driving with the pre collusion system cruise control activated the car slams on it's brakes dropping up to 19 mph instantly and can come to a complete stop per toyota. It almost got me run over by a semi. I filed via the toyota lemon law website to no avail. In 2018 the pre-collusion sensor was tied into the pedestrian sensor. Hence at times when sensing periphery it slams on the brakes. Toyota has 71…

I tried to cross a busy highway and the car hesitated for 2 or 3 seconds before beginning a very sluggish acceleration that put me in danger of being hit by oncoming high speed traffic. It has done this twice, and the second time i pushed the accelerator to the floor for several seconds with no response. In both instances the car was going about 3 mph when i attempted to accelerate. The internet is loaded with…

For whatever reason, toyota made the engine control software very slow to react to throttle inputs. If you are driving and stomp on the gas, there can be as much as a 1.5 second delay before the engine tries to do something. This can be pretty dangerous such as when you are trying to merge into traffic or move so someone doesn't hit you. Never drove a car that had such a delay unless it had a turbo, but the camry…

Of time and then i have to step on it way way more than what…

Sometimes when accelerating from a stop, the engine seems to have a slight hesitation. This is very concerning because you could inadvertently pull out in front of another driver and cause an accident because the car wouldn't accelerate properly. This needs to be investigated before it harms someone.
