When the vehicle is in motion, and the radar speed control is set on, and a leading vehicle is engaged by the radar speed control, if the leading vehicle turns off the road to the right the radar speed control suddenly disengages and the vehicle brakes. This is a serious safety concern with the possibility of being rear-ended when there are following vehicles. Happens under all road conditions and in all weather.

This happened to the vehicle repeatedly and under 1000 miles on the odometer. Upon acceleration the car hesitates and after a few seconds if will finally go with a jerking to the passengers. It also has a problem accelerating on the highway, it seems to lack the power to pass anyone when in traffic. At approximately 75 miles per hour the car began to shake also. When moving into different gears the car would also…

4-cylinder xse has significant acceleration delay after depressing the pedal; this is especially apparent when accelerating from a rolling stop at approximately 15-25 mph. Occasionally, the gear will also shift abruptly when accelerating from 15-25 mph, causing the car to lurch forward suddenly. This is dangerous; if there is a car in front of you, there is a high chance of causing a rear end accident.

Transmission is feeling very jerky after 5000 miles. Holding on to low gears way too long. I'm doing 40 mph and the rpm is over 3500. The transmission seems to keep missing gears. Constantly downshifting. Mileage has surprisingly gone down. Even on the highway when im doing 65+ its struggling to find gears and keeps downshifting.

The 2018 toyota camry is having a problem shifting and allowing the car to increase speed. The car constantly jerks when you try to move and sometimes when you're sitting it still jerks. It's like the transmission is missing a shift or something.

While resuming driving ,from a stop sign or red light and merging on to a highway, when i press the gas pedal the car has a major delay in acceleration. It makes a loud revving noise like a sports car when i put my foot on the gas, and the car does not take off when pressing the gas…

The car keeps jumping forward, it can't decide when it wants to shift up. When starting from a stop, or driving and trying to accelerate, the car takes over 5 seconds to really 'take' and realize you are pushing on the gas. All it does is rev, a lot.

The car has acceleration/speed problems. The car has only 200 miles, took it in te highway and takes too long to reach highway speed. It rarely reaches and stays at lower speed. Like others it seems this camry will have a lot rear-end accidents due to the lack of speed performance. I feel scare to drive this car, too difficult to change lanes, too difficult to keep up with traffic. If cars are approaching at highway…

I have a 2018 toyota camry and on my first week after buying it, i noticed that there's a major acceleration delay that i couldn't bear anymore. It's making a weird sound and is definitely something noticeable. Toyota seriously needs to take care of this as this may cause accidents especially on merging on the freeway. I tried to take it to 2 different toyota service centers and both just told me that my car was…

I've had this vehicle for about 4 months now. The first month i noticed there is something wrong with the way this new vehicle accelerates. When stopped and starting movement again the vehicle suddenly jerks and does not speed up right away. The jerking part is my main safety concern.
