AFTER TAKING DELIVERY OF THE VEHICLE I NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE ACCELERATES VERY POOR AND WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS SET ON CRUISE CONTROL IT WOULD DROP SPEED FOR NO REASON.
Power train, Jul 15, 2018
VEHICLE HAS ISSUES WITH TRANSMISSION. THERE ARE TIMES WHEN THE CAR CAN'T SEEM TO DECIDE WHAT GEAR TO PICK AND WHEN TO ENGAGE IT RESULTING IN A SECOND OR TWO OF DEAD ACCELERATION. ONCE VEHICLE DECIDES WHAT TO DO, IT SENDS AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF POWER TO THE WHEELS WITH UNINTENDED ACCELERATION RATES. THIS MOST COMMONLY HAPPENS WHEN SLOWING FOR A YIELD AND THEN GOING, STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, AND PASSING ON THE HIGHWAY. FUEL ECONOMY IS ALL OVER THE PLACE AS WELL, MOST LIKELY DUE TO POOR TRANSMISSION. THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE SINCE CAR WAS FIRST BOUGHT IN NOVEMBER 2017....HAS NEARLY 8000 MILES AS OF JULY 18 AND STILL AN ISSUE.
Power train, Other or unspecified, Jul 8, 2018
I BOUGHT A 2018 TOYOYA CAMRY SE IN APRIL AND I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS EVER SINCE. THE ETUNE RADIO SYSTEM DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY WITH MY PHONE. I HAVE TO RECONNECT MY PHONE TO THE CAR WHILE I'M DRIVING TO GET MY MUSIC TO PLAY AFTER A PHONE CALL. THE AIR CONDITIONING DOESN'T COOL PROPERLY, AT TIMES I HAVE TO SET IT ON "LOW" IN ORDER TO GET IT TO COOL. OTHER TIMES, I CAN HAVE IT SET ON 80 AND IT COOLS. WHEN I PARK MY CAR AND GET OUT, I CAN SMELL RADIATOR FLUID. THE ACCELERATION DOESN'T' WORK PROPERLY. SOME TIMES I PRESS THE GAS AND THE CAR TAKES OFF SMOOTH, OTHER TIMES IT DOESN'T. THERE IS A GAP IN TIME BETWEEN ME PRESSING THE GAS AND THE CAR ACTUALLY TAKING OFF.

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.
Power train, Vehicle speed control, Engine, Jun 30, 2018
THE CAR HAS ACCELERATION/SPEED PROBLEMS. IT TAKES TOO LONG TO ACCELERATE WHEN CHANGING LANES, PASSING OTHER VEHICLE, OR ENTERING FREEWAY. THIS ISSUE IS GOING ON ALL AND EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT. I PURCHASED THE CAR ONE MONTH AGO. THIS IS MY 5TH CAMRY AND I NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM. CAR IS UNSAFE AND IM SCARED TO DRIVE. TOYOTA, DO SOMETHING BEFORE SOMEONE DIES!!!!!!!!!!. I ALMOST GOT REAR-ENDED COUPLE OF TIMES
Power train, Jun 15, 2018
2018 CAMRY 8 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION HAS DOWNSHIFTING PROBLEMS. THIS INVOLVES A DELAY IN DOWNSHIFTING THAT I HAVE FOUND ON 3 OCCASIONS COULD HAVE BEEN DANGEROUS. UPON COMPLETING A TURN AND REAPPLYING GAS PEDAL THE CAR APPEARED TO BE IN NEUTRAL OR STUCK BETWEEN GEARS. I HAD A DEAD GAS PEDAL FOR 3 OR 4 SECONDS. ON 1 OCCASION I COULD HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN A REAR END COLLISION IF THE OTHER DRIVER HADN'T REALIZED SOMETHING WAS WRONG AND SWERVED TO AVOID MY CAR. I CURRENTLY HAVE LEMON LAW COMPLAINT FILED WITH THE STATE ATTORNEY GENERALS OFFICE INVOLVING THIS CAR AND IT'S TRANSMISSION.
Power train, Jun 13, 2018
TOYOTA CAMRY XLE V6 HAS TRANSMISSION ISSUES. FIRST 5000 MI SERVICE HAS ALREADY BEEN COMPLETED. CAR CURRENTLY HAS ~8K MILES AND HAS NOT IMPROVED. (1) FIRST GEAR DOES NOT SHIFT SMOOTHLY TO SECOND. CAR JOLTS DURING THIS SHIFT. ISSUE IS WORSE WHEN THE CAR IS COLD, BUT CAN BE REPRODUCED EVEN WHEN IT IS WARMED UP. (2) TRANSMISSION TAKES A LONG TIME TO DOWNSHIFT AFTER ACCELERATOR IS PRESSED. SEEMS TO BE VERY CONFUSED IN PICKING THE RIGHT GEAR. (3) TRANSMISSION IS TOO EAGER TO DOWNSHIFT WHEN ACCELERATOR IS NOT PRESSED AND CAR IS SLOWING DOWN. THIS RESULTS IN ROUGH JOLTS AS THE CAR IS SLOWING DOWN OR BRAKING.
Power train, Service brakes, Jun 7, 2018
NEW 2018 CAMRY SE WITH 458 MILES, 4 CYLINDER/8 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. CAR HESITATES WHEN ACCELERATING AND CANNOT SEEM TO FIND THE CORRECT GEAR. MOST NOTICEABLE BETWEEN 1ST AND 3RD GEARS. ALSO, DYNAMIC BRAKING SUPPORT PUT ME IN A DEAD STOP AS I WAS TRYING TO DEPART THE LANE TO AVOID A FRONT AND REAR END COLLISION. I HAD ALREADY APPLIED ENOUGH MANUAL BRAKE BUT WANTED TO QUICKLY ACCELERATE OUT OF THE LANE TO CREATE SPACE. THIS AUTOMATIC DEAD STOP DUE TO THE DYNAMIC BRAKING SYSTEM WAS A SCARY SURPRISE THAT NEARLY CAUSED A PILE UP. TOYOTA NEEDS TO RECOGNIZE THESE ISSUES.
Power train, May 31, 2018
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SHIFT GEARS VERY ROUGHLY AND THEN CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED EVERYDAY SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED THREE MONTHS AGO. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DAYTONA TOYOTA (451 N NOVA ROAD ,DAYTONA BEACH, FLORIDA 32114) TWICE, BUT THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DUPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,000.
Power train, May 31, 2018
THIS CAR ONLY HAS 120 MILES ON IT, BUT THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN PRESENT SINCE I TOOK DELIVERY. UPON INITIAL ACCELERATION FROM A DEAD STOP, THERE IS A LONG DEAD ZONE IN THE ACCELERATOR LEADING TO POOR THROTTLE RESPONSE. IT'S HARD TO TELL WHEN THE VEHICLE IS GOING TO BEGIN MOVING. ONCE MOVING, THE TRANSMISSION JUMPS IN AND OUT OF VARIOUS GEARS, AND THE CAR CAN'T DECIDE WHICH GEAR TO USE. IT ALSO SLAMS IN AND OUT OF SOME GEARS WITH NO CONSISTENCY. IT SEEMS LIKE A PROGRAM ISSUE, BUT IT NEEDS TO BE HANDLED VERY SOON OR THIS TRANSMISSION MAY NOT LAST 10-20K MILES.
Power train, Vehicle speed control, May 26, 2018
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.
Power train, Vehicle speed control, Engine, May 25, 2018
WHEN THE CAR IN THE LOW SPEED AROUND 20 MILES/HOUR AND THE ENGINE AROUND 2000RPM, THE TRANSMISSION IS WIRED TRYING TO FIND SPECIFIED GEAR, MAKE THE CAR SPEED INCREASED AND DECREASED, IT LIKE JERK THE CAR. ANOTHER PROBLEM IS WHEN YOU TRYING TO SPEED UP CATCH UP CARS SPEED FROM LOWER SPEED ON HIGHWAY, PRESS THE GAS PEDAL, THE CAR JUST LIKE THINKING THE LIFE PHILOSOPHY THE RPM REACH 4000 THE CAR SUDDENLY SPEED UP.

2018 TOYOTA CAMRY HAS BAD TRANSMISSION SINCE THE 1 ST WEEK OF HAVING THIS CAR IT HAS BEEN GIVING ME PROBLEMS IT SLAMS INTO GEAR SOMETIMES, IT HESITATES WHEN STEPPING ON THE GAS LIKE IT DOESN'T KNOW WEATHER TO GO OR NOT IT JERKS LIKE IT CANT FIND WHICH GEAR TO GO INTO THE CAR IS REALLY BAD AND I CANT SEEM TO GET ANY HELP FROM TOYOTA THEY TOLD ME TO KEEP DRIVING MAYBE THE CAR NEEDS TO GET USE TO MY DRIVING. THEY TOLD ME ITS A 4 CYLINDER THAT'S HOW THEY DRIVE. THEY TOLD ME I SHOULD DRIVE IT MANUAL MODE. IM JUST FED UP .
Power train, Engine, May 8, 2018
CAR IS HESITATING/SLUGGISH WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP/ROLLING STOP. TAKES FOREVER TO GET TO HIGHWAY SPEEDS, WHICH IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. WHEN THERE IS TRAFFIC ON A HIGHWAY, CHANGING LANES INTO A LANE IN WHICH TRAFFIC IS GOING FASTER IS EXTREMELY HARD DUE TO FEAR BEING REAR-ENDED. CAR STRUGGLES TO GET FROM 0-45 AND WILL ONLY DO SO WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS STEPPED DOWN ALL THE WAY. TRANSMISSION SHIFTS ARE VERY JERKY. SEEMS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION DOESN'T KNOW WHAT GEAR TO BE IN 90% OF THE TIME. ALL THESE SYMPTOMS APPEAR TO BE IN ONLY THE 4 CYLINDER MODEL OF THE 2018 CAMRYS.
Power train, Apr 4, 2018
THE TRANSMISSION IN THE 2018 XSE V6 IS JUNK. IT IS JERKY ON ACCELERATION (LIKE DRIVING A MANUAL TRANSMISSION) AND WHEN SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND THE SHIFTS ARE HARD, AND CLUNKY. EVEN WORSE WHEN COLD. WHEN COMING TO A STOP, THE SHIFT FROM 2ND TO 1ST HAPPENS WITH A HUGE THUD. HAD DEALER TAKE A LOOK AND THEY TOLD ME NOTHING WAS WRONG AFTER HOOKING IT UP TO THEIR COMPUTERS. PRETTY DISAPPOINTED IN THE WAY THIS BRAND NEW CAR DRIVES. MAJOR HESITATIONS WHEN ACCELERATING. CAUSES ENTIRE CAR TO JERK UNTIL THE MOTOR SMOOTHS OUT. THIS LOYAL TOYOTA OWNER FOR OVER 30 YEARS IS STRONGLY THINKING ABOUT SWITCHING BRANDS. 5K MILES ON CAR.
Power train, Mar 30, 2018
THE POWERTRAIN IS VERY ROUGH AT LOW SPEED. WHEN PEDAL IS PUMPED SLOWLY THE GEAR CHANGES WITH A THUD AND JERKING. THIS FEELS WORSE THAN A MANUAL GEAR CAR. THE CAR DROVE AROUND 7500MILES. COMPLAINT THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY NOTIFIED IT MAY BE DUE TO CAR COMPUTER ISSUE.
Power train, Mar 13, 2018
2018 CAMRY XSE V6 - IF THE CAR IS NOT FULLY WARMED UP AND YOU ACCELERATE FROM A STOP, THE SHIFT FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR IS VERY ROUGH. IT IS MORE PRONOUNCED IF YOU ARE ACCELERATING UP A HILL. THE ONLY WAY TO GET RID OF THE ROUGH 1ST TO 2ND GEAR SHIFT BEFORE THE CAR IS FULLY WARMED UP IS TO APPLY EXCESSIVE THROTTLE.
Power train, Feb 26, 2018
I PURCHASED BRAND NEW 2018 CAMRY SE NOVEMBER 2017 ABOUT A WEEK AFTER PURCHASE I NOTICED THE CAR SHIFTS INTO GEAR ROUGHLY AND JERKS A LOT WHEN DRIVING SIMILAR TO DRIVING A MANUAL TRANSMISSION CAR SO I ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT THE SALESMAN WHO SOLD ME THE CAR ONLY TO GET THE RUNAROUND ABOUT WHO TO TALK TO FINALLY WHEN I TOOK MY CAR IN THEY CHECKED ALL 20 SOMETHING COMPUTERS ON THE CAR AND SAID THEY SAW NO ERRORS BEING REPORTED WENT FOR A TEST DRIVE NOTHING SO THEY SENT ME ON MY WAY CAR WAS STILL DOING THE SAME THING SO I TRIED A DIFFERENT TOYOTA DEALER LEFT THE CAR ALL DAY THEY CHECKED SYSTEMS SAID IT WAS UPDATED AND THAT I PROBABLY NEED TO DRIVE THE CAR MORE SO IT CAN GET ACCLIMATED WITH MY DRIVING SO I HAD THIS CAR FOR 3 MONTHS AND IT STILL DOES THE SAME THING HESITATION WHEN STEPPING ON THE GAS, REVS UP PRETTY HIGH BEFORE SWITCHING GEARS, HARD SHIFTS INTO GEARS, AND JERKING EXCESSIVELY THIS CAR SO FAR HAS BEEN A NIGHTMARE IM VERY UNSATISFIED WITH MY NEW CAR PURCHASE
Power train, Vehicle speed control, Other or unspecified, Feb 22, 2018
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 SPEED AND YOU ARE CHANGING LINES YOU MORE THAN LIKELY WILL END UP REAR- END. IT TOOK ME TWO AND A HALF HOURS TO COMPLETE A 1 HOUR TRIP DUE TO LACK OF SPEED, CAR NOT RESPONDING AND FEAR OF GETTING REAR-END BY OTHER CARS WHO WERE HURNING BECAUSE CAR WOULDN'T SPEED UP. CAR IS TOO UNSAFE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO TOYOTA. WORST CAR EVER.
Power train, Jan 31, 2018
THE TRANSMISSION CLUNKS WHEN THE LOWER FORWARD TRANSMISSION GEAR ENGAGES WHEN ACCELERATING ON TO THE HIGHWAY. THIS TRANSMISSION DEFECT CAN ALSO BE DESCRIBED AS A THUD THAT GIVES THE DRIVER THE IMPRESSION THE CAMRY TRANSMISSION WILL FAIL SHOULD THE DRIVER CONTINUE TO APPLY PRESSURE ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL.
Power train, Electronic stability control (ESC), Dec 13, 2017
I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE ABOUT I MONTH A GO THE PROBLEM IS WHEN I SLOW DOWN TO AROUND 5 MPH AND THEN HIT THE GAS TO GO AGAIN THE CAR PICKS UP SPEED SUPER SLOWLY AND IT I HIT THE ACCELERATOR HARD THE TRANSMISSION JERKS REALLY HARD ALMOST LIKE SOMEONE IS HITTING ME FROM THE BACK , I TOOK IT TO TOYOTA THEY KEEP SAYING THE CAR IS JUST FINE .
