Vehicle hesitation when accelerator pedal is pushed :when starting from zero speed or accelerating at cruising speed the car often hesitates more often then not this is a road hazord and worse yet for me the vehicle never drives the same. It is really frustrating knowing the money I spent and the money I will loose on trade due to a vehicles performance that is documented all over the internet and nothing is being done to fix the issue. My experience is it has no bearing on vehicle speed when the problem occurs its random and difficult toto predict for me its the worst during rush hour on the freeway I don't know if I should look forward or behind to see which car could become victom of the acceleration or hesitation.

Just got the car with 30000 miles on it. Like a week ago started noticing the transmission shifting gears too fast. I'm going 30mph and it's in 4th gear! It wasn't doing this when I first got it. Tried to pass someone up on highway it took 2 seconds for the RPM to kick in almost got ran off the road by another vehicle. From a stoplight it will hesitate for 1 or 2 seconds then take off. This is really dangerous if someone has to make a quick turn during traffic. This is an accident waiting to happen. Please fix it so I can enjoy my new car.

Acceleration hesitation, numerous instances. Advancing from a stop or at low speed, the camry hesitates to accelerate for 2-10 seconds. On june 2, 2017 I had driven 5 blocks, stopped at a stop sign, then advanced to enter 35-40 MPH highway traffic. The car achieved about 8 MPH, then would not accelerate for over 5 seconds while traffic is coming at me. Very dangerous! I have a dealer appointment on 06june2017 to have this looked at again. They have tried diagnosing this two previous times and could find nothing. They said the transmission 'learns' from the driver, so they erased the learning to start afresh. This did not cure the problem. The hesitation is infrequent, but very dangerous. No regular pattern to it. Can occur when starting a drive, or when thoroughly warmed up.

When accelerating from a complete stop or when slowing down to make a left turn, it hesitates as if the car has stalled when stepping on the gas pedal to go. It will go about 5 -10 feet just enough to get you out there into traffic and then nose dives because it loses all forward power, steady pressure on gas pedal and milking gas pedal does not make it resume any faster. So far it has lasted 30 to 45 seconds and then resumes. The rpms stay at about 1 (idle) and the eco light flashes randomly but car does not stall so far just loses forward motion and wont accelerate out of the way of traffic oncoming and behind you. This has happened 9-10 time oct 2016-dec 2016

I was trying to pass a line of cars, and the car hesitated, for about 4 minutes, and I almost was hit by traffic coming from behind and would have been hit between the drivers door and passenger door, if the person coming had not been paying attention and managed to go around me. It has happened 3 other times. On a highway
