2019 Toyota Camry

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.

THE CAR IN HIGHWAY SPEED WHEN THE LAST SPEED ENGAGE THE CAR STARTS TO SHAKE FOR FEW SECONDS YOU CAN FEEL MORE ON HILLS AND WHEN PRESS THE GAS TO PASS A CAR I FEEL LIKE SOMETHING IS NO RIGHT AND WHEN YOU MAKE A STOP AND PRESS THE GAS TO GO FORWARD SOMETIMES THE TRANSMISSION FEELS LIKE IS NO PAIR WITH THE ENGINE I REALLY FEEL WORRIED FOR MY WIFE IF THIS CAR CAN BE IN NEUTRAL OR NO POWER ON THE HIGHWAY THE CAR DOESN'T FEELS RIGHT, THIS PROBLEM STARTS TO HAPPEN A WEEK AGO THE CAR ONLY HAVE 6000 MILES

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.

I JUST GOT THE CAR ABOUT A MONTH AND A 1/2 AGO EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE UNTIL 2 WEEKS LATER AFTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE I NOTICE SOME LAGGING AND HARD JERKING IN THE TRANSMISSION WHEN I BARELY PUSH THE ACCELERATOR I NOTICE FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR IT HAD A HARD TIME WANTING TO KNOW WHEN TO SHIFT AND WHEN TO WANNA GO SMOOTH THEN A WEEK AND A 1/2 LATER THE LANE DEPARTURE LIGHT TURNS ON AND THE CRASH CONTROL I TURNED THEM OFF BUT IT STILL TURNED ON EVEN KNOW I WENT INTO THE VEHICLE SETTINGS TO TURN THEM OFF A WEEK FOLLOWING THE LIGHTS STARTED COMING ON MORE PROGRESSIVE EXCEPT THIS TIME IT DEACTIVATES ALL THE CAMERAS FRONT AND BACK I WENT 3 TIMES AND THE MAIN MECHANIC SAID NOT EXAGGERATING *ITS LIKE A PHONE IT NEEDS TO LEARN HOW TO WORK ITSELF OVER TIME IT WILL GET BETTER THE ONLY WAY WE CAN FIX IT IS WHEN YOU BRAKE DOWN AND GET TOWED* ALL KNOW IS, IS THAT THE VEHICLE DOESN'T SEEM TO KNOW WHEN TO WANT TO SHIFT CORRECTLY THERE IS A LAG WHEN PUSHING THE PEDAL, WHEN YIELDING AND GO IT JERKS HARD WHEN SLOWING DOWN I FEEL IT DOWNSHIFTING HARD EITH LITTLE THUDS AND MY SENSOR LIGHTS COME ON AND DEACTIVATE MY CAMERAS

THE TRANSMISSION IS VERY CLUNKY THRU THE GEARS. I HAVE AN AUTOMATIC, SOMETIMES ITS DELAYED WHEN I'M TRYING TO ACCELERATE, ITLL HESITATE BEFORE TAKING OFF. IV FOUND IF YOU PULSE THE GAS PEDDLE AND LET UP RIGHT AS IT STARTS TO HESITATE THEN BACK DOWN AGAIN ITLL KINDA AVOID IT BUT I'M NOT ALWAYS SUCH AN ACTIVE DRIVER. EVEN DOWN SHIFTING ITLL BE CLUNKY AND TAKE A SEC TO FULLY DO IT. LIKE IF YOU PULL INTO A DRIVEWAY THAT'S SLANTED UP YOU FIRST OF ALL HAVE TO SLOW DOWN TO ENTER AND WHEN DOING THAT IT'S ALL SLOW AT DOWN SHIFTING THEN U GOTTA HIT THE GAS SOME TO GO UP THE DRIVEWAY AND IT'S ALL DELAYED AT ACCELERATING SO THE WHOLE PROCESS IS JUST CLUNKY AND DOES NOT FEEL RIGHT. MAKES ME FEEL THE TRANSMISSION IS GONNA BURN OUT EARLY. THEY SAY THE 2018 MODELS AND UP USE SOME COMPUTERIZED TRANSMISSION...I JUST WANT TO IT RESPOND ACCORDINGLY AND TO NOT BE SO SLUGGISH ABOUT IT. SOMETIMES I'M SCARED TO PULL OUT IN FRONT OF TRAFFIC BECAUSE IT WONT RESPOND RIGHT AWAY AND I'LL BE AT A CRAWLING SPEED TILL IT RESPONDS UNLESS I FLOOR IT FAST AND LET UP BEFORE IT REVS PAST 3 ON THE RPM THEN TAP IT AGAIN. IT'S LIKE IT WAKES IT UP OR SOMETHING I DONT UNDERSTAND.

AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. NOT A SINGLE AIR BAG WENT OFF. I COULD'VE DIED. I WAS GOING 65MPH WHEN I DROPPED SOMETHING AND WENT TO PICK IT UP AND I LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE STRIKING THE GUARD RAIL ON THE LEFT SIDE, THEN THROWN INTO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROADS GUARD RAIL WHERE I STOPPED FINALLY. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WERE SHOCKED THE AIR BAGS DIDNT GO OFF BECAUSE EVERY SINGLE ONE SHOULD HAVE. I'M HURT FROM THIS INCIDENT AND POSSIBLY COULD'VE BEEN LESS INJURED HAD THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED

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
