Description of the problem | Defective transmission: 1: car hesitates to speed up from a full stop or while in motion. 2: rpm's go over 3000 before car reacts (2-3 seconds delay) , dangerous specially when taking curves or merging into traffic (highways, fast traffic roads). 3: i feel a "hiccup" like movement while in motion (sometimes). 4: car hesitates to shift or shifts whit excessive power. 5: downshifts and loss of acceleration (it happens erratically dealer have replaced the vehicle transmission, but the problem persist, now they are going to replace the vehicle computer and if the problem persist they will replace the transmission again. It seems like they don"t know what the problem really is. Until now this are the symptoms i'm experiencing with my 2018 camry 4-cyl, certainly something i wasn't expecting from a toyota product. The unpredictable behavior of this car is dangerous, i never know when is going to response as it should do or when i'll have to floor it so it can rev up and finally move. |
