 Description of the problemThis car has a very jerky transmission. On an intermittent basis when i'm slowing down to a stop, the transmission can't decide what gear to go in and a vibration occurs and lunges the car forward a bit. In these cases, i have to push the brake harder to avoid hitting the car in front of me, which has nearly happened a couple times now. In addition to this shaking that can be felt throughout the car and through the steering wheel, there have been a couple of occasions where the car has nearly stalled on me as well when coming to a stop on a round-about in which i needed to accelerate right after. This random unpredictable behavior makes it very difficult to safely operate this car and avoid hitting the car in front of me or getting rear-ended, especially when in stop-and-go traffic. I can tell it's a transmission issue, because when i shift the transmission into "neutral" and come to a stop, the issue never happens. I took it to the toyota dealership last week, since i purchased it brand new and it now has only 1500 miles on it. They spent a day on it and told me they don't know how to fix it, since it's intermittent and they were only able to reproduce it once or twice after a long test-drive. They've heard others complain about the transmission on the new 2018 camry's though as well, so it's possible toyota knows about this. After reading online, i can see that many others are running into the exact same issue i am.
