When ever the vehicle was positioned on an incline and the consumer moved her foot off the brake, the vehicle rolled backwards before she was able to apply the accelerator pedal'. Dealer was notified and they informed her that was the normal characteristic of that vehicle. Please provide any further information. *jb
2004 Toyota Camry transmission complaints
Page 3 of 3: complaints 41 to 48 of 48, newest first, as owners wrote them.
When shifting from 1st to 2nd gear only from a stop, there is a jerky or stuttering feeling on varying road surfaces. This occurs approximately 2 - 3 times daily. The car is driven approximately 50 miles a day. The car has been test driven by the dealer on several occasions, they have not been able to duplicate the problem. The car's computer was reprogrammed on the 3rd visit; however, the problem continued. The dealer contacted toyota; however, has been told that there are no complaints about this problem and they can not authorize any repairs at this time.

Car shudders, sometimes quite violently, when automatic transmission engages second gear. Noticed on second day of ownership feb 18, problem continues. My dealer has more complaints of this identical problem.
Whenever vehicle traveled up an incline and the consumer released the brake, the vehicle moved backwards. *ph this was a very dangerous problem when going up a hill and the smallest hill. As soon as the driver's foot released the brakes, the vehicle moved backwards. This happened when the transmission was placed in drive, the vehicle went into reverse and the second one's foot was taken off the brake, the vehicle went forward. This was experienced a few times a week. *sc
When the transmission shifts from 1st to 2nd gear, at a faster engine speed of about 2,800 to 3,000 RPM, there is a rough spot or rough noise. When the transmission shifts from 1st to 2nd gear at lower engine speeds a noise is not noticeable. For a long time I thought the noise was from rough spots in the roadway, but the noise kept occurring on smooth pavement. There is a definite defect in the transmission.
Transmission "shudders" when upshifting from 1st to 2nd gear at RPM near 3,000.
When I shifted from parking to back, my 2004 toyota camry le went forward instead of backward, which really surprised me. Same situation happened again 20 days later.
