Description of the problem	The 2018 toyota camry se has a major issue with delayed acceleration that impacts the safety of the vehicle. The car's 8-speed transmission has trouble selecting the proper gear when the driver needs to accelerate after deceleration. For example, imagine driving steady at 40mph before decelerating to an intersection for a turn, making the turn, then pressing the gas again to accelerate. When pressing the gas again to accelerate in this scenario, the car struggles to select the proper gear after the downshift from 40 mph causing the vehicle to pause (no acceleration) for 3 seconds before very roughly cycling through two or three gears before the proper gear is selected. Both my wife and i experience this while driving the car and often feel vulnerable and stuck as traffic must brake unexpectedly because the camry will not simply select a gear and move when the gas is pressed. Also, when the camry finally does move, there is no predicting how much acceleration the driver will experience. This causes safety concern for both getting rear-ended while the camry won't accelerate, and also safety concern for rear-ending someone else when the camry unpredictably accelerates. The toyota dealer has done nothing to fix this and states it is working as designed because no error codes are thrown. The toyota dealer did acknowledge that 8-speed transmissions are new to toyota and they have had major issues with the 8-speed transmission in the toyota sienna.
