2019 Toyota Camry

THE PROBLEM IS WHEN THE CAR WAS RUNNING AND I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL THE CAR DID NOT ACCELERATE, IT TOOK AROUND 2 SECONDS FOR THE CAR TO ACCELERATE BUT IT SPEEDS UP SUDDENLY. THIS FACT MAY LEAD TO AN UNEXPECTED ACCIDENT FOR THE DRIVER. BESIDES I CHECKED THE VEHICLE ALERT HISTORY, THERE IS A RECORD THAT SHOWED A CHECK ENGINE ALERT REGARDING "A MALFUNCTION IN THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL OF THE ENGINE, THROTTLE, OR AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN DETECTED" (SEE THE ATTACHED IMAGE FOR DETAIL)

WHEN I DRIVE MY CAR, IT HESITATES AND FEELS LIKE ITS LOSING POWER, IT DOES IT ALL THE TIME IT'S NOT JUST A FEW TIMES. AND IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT SPEED I'M DRIVING IT STILL DOES IT. IT ACTS LIKE IT'S NOT GETTING ENOUGH FUEL TO THE ENGINE. IT DOES IT ON THE HIGHWAY, ON CITY STREETS. IT ACTS LIKE IT WANTS TO SHUT OFF, AND I'M AFRAID THAT IT'S GOING TO GOING DOWN THE ROAD. NOT SURE IF IT'S A FUEL ISSUE OR IF ITS SOMETHING IN THE MOTOR, BUT IT REALLY NEEDS CHECKED OUT AND FIXED. I'VE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM FOR ALMOST 6 MONTHS NOW AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE.

I RENTED A 2019 TOYOTA CAMRY FOR 9 DAYS. MANY TIMES WHILE ACCELERATING THE ENGINE LOST POWER. IT WAS ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS WHEN ATTEMPTING TURNS IN FRONT OF ONGOING TRAFFIC. THE CAR WOULD START TO GO THEN JUST SEEM TO DIE AS I WAS MAKING THE TURN. THEN ENGINE LIGHTS WOULD COME ON AND IT WOULD JUST START COASTING. THE CAR NEVER STALLED IT JUST WOULD NOT GO. I LEARNED VERY QUICKLY TO NOT THINK I COULD MAKE A TURN INTO THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC SAFELY UNLESS I HAD ENOUGH ROOM TO COAST ACROSS THE INTERSECTION. ALSO IT IWAS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN TRYING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC. I LOOKED THIS UP ON THE INTERNET AND IT SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH CAMRY'S BUT I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THERE IS NOT A RECALL OR, AT LEAST, A INVSTIGATION STARTED BY NHTSA.

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2019 TOYOTA CAMRY IN FEBRUARY. I'VE NOTICED THAT WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THE ENGINE SEEMS TO HESITATE AND JERK WHEN ACCELERATING. THIS IS A CAUSE FOR CONCERN BECAUSE WHEN SLOWING DOWN AND GIVING THE VEHICLE GAS, IT CAUSES THE RPMS TO SHOOT UP AND THE CAR JERKS FORWARD. THIS CAN CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO STRIKE A VEHICLE OR ANYTHING IN FRONT OF IT. IT IS NOT ANY DIFFERENT IF THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY OR IN MOTION. IN EITHER SITUATION THE VEHICLE IS HESITATING AND JERKING WHILE ACCELERATING. IT IS ALSO DANGEROUS TO TURN INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. IF THE CAR STRUGGLES TO ACCELERATE IT CAN CAUSE A COLLISION.

PURCHASED MY 2019 TOYOTA CAMRY XLE COUPLE OF WEEKS BACK WITH 5 MILES ON IT. NOTICED THE VEHICLE HAD ISSUES WITH ACCELERATION. WHEN RESUMING TO DRIVE FROM A RED LIGHT OR STOPPED POSITION, THE CAR SEEM TO HAVE A MAJOR DELAY IN ACCELERATION AND MAKES A LOUD ENGINE NOISE WHEN PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL. EVEN PRESSING DOWN A BIT MORE ON THE GAS PEDAL DURING THIS INITIAL ACCELERATION, THE CAR DOES NOT REACT MUCH AND BARELY PICKS UP SPEED. THERE IS A MAJOR DELAY, ONE THAT CAN BE DANGEROUS WHEN MERGING ONTO A HIGHWAY WHERE QUICK ACCELERATION IS NEEDED TO AVOID BEING A HAZARD TO OTHER MOTORISTS. HAVE NOT TAKEN VEHICLE BACK TO TOYOTA SERVICE DEALER BUT DID TEXT MY SALESMAN AND DESCRIBED THE ISSUE AND HE SAID TO SETUP AN APPOINTMENT. I HAVE A FEELING THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WILL COME BACK SAYING IT'S NOTHING IS WRONG AND FUNCTIONING NORMALLY. TO ME THIS IS A MAJOR DESIGN FLAW THAT HAS SAFETY CONCERNS TIED TO IT. PLEASE HELP IN ANY WAY YOU CAN. NEED TOYOTA TO DO A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE IN ORDER TO FIX THIS ISSUE.*DT
