Car cannot seem to determine which gear it should be in. When in stop and go traffic on freeway and pedal is not depressed, car lurches forward and a clunk is heard as the vehicle downshifts. Clunking sound is made worse in cold, humid, or cloudy weather. In the streets, when turning a corner and hitting the gas, there is a noticeable lag (about 2 seconds) until the car jerks forward and increases speed. If you want…

Brakes squeal loudly when backing out of sloped driveway on cold morning. Also, light sheet of rust on exterior and interior surface of all discs. Squeal goes away after a short while (abs warm-up issue?), and the exterior rust went away after a few days of use. I've never seen or heard such on a new vehicle before (have driven multiple new cars over 40 years).

When the brakes are cold on my 2018 camry le, they grab going forward or back regardless of how carefully they are applied. On 10k mile check-up the dealer could not duplicate, presumably because it is a cold brake problem. Will make complaint again at 15k mile check and get in writing that it has been received.

My brakes grab and jerk at low speeds. Especially when i'm backing up or pulling into a parking spot. I've taken it to the dealer and they say they are fine and the issue is normal. I've also contacted toyota customer care and they referred me back to the dealer. I noticed via an online search; that many other drivers are reporting the same issue with no remedy offered from toyota.
