Harsh or hard shifting by model year
What owners say
I have had complications not only with visor on drivers side but also the their is a clunking weird noise from the suspension. If turn on heat or touch radio the lights on dash flash. I also when trying to accelerate their is no power.
My car has been experiencing hard shifts when switching gears and sometimes going idle during gear shifts. I've taken it to the toyota dealer several times and they can never replicate the issue. I took my car in for service a few days ago and they didn't notice a transmission leak that another third party mechanic did. Makes me wonder they are trying to avoid accountability here. The third party mechanic told me that his car had the same issue and he had to fight for toyota to fix the issue. There are a lot of people having this transmission gear issue and it should be resolved by toyota immediately. This can cause major issues which would cause the consumer a lot of money.
There is a transmission issue at low speeds, mostly city driving, the car jerks with abrupt shifting, and sometimes harsh shifting. Also it feels like the car pauses a little when shifting at low speeds. The car jerks with abrupt shifting, and sometimes harsh shifting. Also it feels like the car pauses a little when shifting at low speeds. The car takes off like it rushes rather than a smooth acceleration, though I press the gas pedal gently, also on more than one occasion a loud thumping sound has been heard coming from the transmission as the car is slowing down and is in process of downshifting around 20mph.
There is a transmission issue at low speeds, mostly city driving, the car jerks with abrupt shifting, and sometimes harsh shifting. Also it feels like the car pauses a little when shifting at low speeds. This problem is very consistent among other owners in forums I have reviewed. It needs to be addressed and fixed.
Soon after I bought this brand new 2011 camry the car started acting weird. A constant problem that appear a lot of time when I am driving concerns the transmission. At low speeds, mostly city driving, the car jerks with abrupt shifting, and sometimes harsh shifting. Also it feels like the car pauses a little when shifting at low speeds. The thing that concerns me and my wife the most is that the car takes off like it rushes rather than a smooth acceleration, although we both press the gas pedal really gently. This mostly happens at low speeds when we are driving in the city where heavy traffic might be present. This is making both of us very concerned about our safety. We are concerned to the point that we both stopped driving the car unless we really have to, we rely on our second car which is a bmw. One other issue is that the car feels like it is going to stall when I release my foot from the acceleration. This happens at both slow speeds and high speeds.
My vehicle at below 40 MPH, mostly city driving, the car jerks with abrupt shifting, and sometimes harsh shifting. Also it feels like the car pauses a little when shifting at low speeds. The car takes off like it rushes rather than a smooth acceleration, though I press the gas pedal gently. This really bothers me during the rush hour because my both kids are in the back seat at that time. I have been to the toyota dealer but they said they couldn't reproduce the problem. Some one please, please please help me with this. It really bothers me after spending lot on money on this car, I can't even drive it safe and its really dangerous driving around the city with my family thinking about what will happen at the next stop light.
