I bought this car used from a dealership. within 4 days and less than 40 driving miles on the first cold morning (42°f) the 6 speed automatic transmission slipped. the engine revved as i was backing out of my carport then in less than 50 yards i went to pull up on the street. again the engine revved and car was barely moving. it did catch as i cleared that intersection and behaved normally till the next cold early morning. i have spoken to used car salesman and the sales manager. i have an appointment to take it in for evaluation soon!

I took delivery of this 2012 Camry SE on Friday 12-17-21. I have about 75 miles on it since purchase. It was cold here this morning (12-21-21) as I pulled out of my driveway at 9 am. I went up to the street to make a left turn. As I entered the intersection- the transmission slipped- the engine revved to about 3000 RPM and the car was barely moving. I drove the car about 5 miles and 15 minutes to get my first gas fill-up. The problem did go away with the warming of the transmission. I've been driving long enough to recognize what this is, a problem with the 6 speed automatic transmission. This problem did not show when I test drove the car on 12/16/21. The salesman made no mention of it. I know I bought the car 'As-Is' . I feel this is a safety problem that should be remedied sooner than later.

When the vehicle goes on the highway or the city, it gets about 15.4 mpg instead of ~30mpg. I have used 87 octane gane from different station still yielding the same result. The autorepair shop has checked for everything that could affect gas mileage, but there is no problem, what is going on? I bought toyota for reliability and fuel efficiency, not to behave like a truck.

I have a 2012 toyota camry. While making a turn the car loses acceleration. If the turn is long, as in a cloverleaf exit, the vehicle will almost stop. Pressing the gas has no effect. The vehicle will lag until it almost stops or until you come out of the turn. From what I find on the internet, this is a common problem with 2012 and later toyota camrys but dealers stonewall about it. I hope you get enough complaints on this to issue a recall.

The fuel pump.ofnthe car stopped working while the car was on the highway. Fortunately was in the rightmost lane so was able to manoeuvr to the shoulder, but the car immediately stalled and had to be towed. The toyota dealership was clueless and took couple days to.figure out that the fuel pump blew up, while the car was in motion. They replaced the fuel and the car worked fine. It is likely that the current problem of.fuel.pump.on newer model may also.be relevant to.other.older models

Car hesitates and looses power while moving forward and while exiting and or starting up from an intersection. Rear cars and myself are in danger. This problem is from a dead stop as well as from slow speed while turning and leaving an intersection.this camery was purchased in 2015, and the dealership has refused to acknowledge this problem since first reported, which was in 2015. Over 300 toyota customers have reported this problem over the past 5-7 years.

Please determine if the fuelrail end caps that are made by arsen are defective. Pre. Requisites of one reported may be enough to start a investigation advising toyota to recall the 2012 fuel rails on the 6 cylinder toyota camery.these fuelrails are probably defective in the kia and hyundai if made by the same company using the same material. Please cross check the info to determine a cause. If over 400 vehicles b4 a notice was put out and no specific cause was noted . I want to believe toyota does whats correct to resolve the issue as did kia and hyundai only after 400 plus issues arose. That is straight negligence upon the federal safety agency why so many fires before something was done unreal.
