I've had this 2018 toyota camry since may 23, 2018 & I noticed not even a week later that this car has a problem accelerating. I contacted the salesman, the service manager, & the sales manager & they all been giving me the run around. The service manager told me my car was sluggish, but told the customer service rep they couldn't find anything wrong when they put the car on the machine which is a lie. I literally have to mash the gas down hard and pray it goes. There's definitely something wrong with this transmission & they way it accelerates. At this moment it seems as if they don't care. I'm really stressed & dissatisfied about how they are handling this.
After taking delivery of the vehicle I noticed that the vehicle accelerates very poor and when the vehicle was set on cruise control it would drop speed for no reason.
4-cylinder xse has significant acceleration delay after depressing the pedal; this is especially apparent when accelerating from a rolling stop at approximately 15-25 MPH. Occasionally, the gear will also shift abruptly when accelerating from 15-25 MPH, causing the car to lurch forward suddenly. This is dangerous; if there is a car in front of you, there is a high chance of causing a rear end accident.
The car has acceleration/speed problems. It takes too long to accelerate when changing lanes, passing other vehicle, or entering freeway. This issue is going on all and every time I drive it. I purchased the car one month ago. This is my 5th camry and I never had this problem. Car is unsafe and im scared to drive. Toyota, do something before someone dies!!!!!!!!!!. I almost got rear-ended couple of times

When the car in the low speed around 20 miles/hour and the engine around 2000rpm, the transmission is wired trying to find specified gear, make the car speed increased and decreased, it like jerk the car. Another problem is when you trying to speed up catch up cars speed from lower speed on highway, press the gas pedal, the car just like thinking the life philosophy the RPM reach 4000 the car suddenly speed up.
The 2018 toyota camry is having a problem shifting and allowing the car to increase speed. The car constantly jerks when you try to move and sometimes when you're sitting it still jerks. It's like the transmission is missing a shift or something.
Car is hesitating/sluggish when accelerating from a stop/rolling stop. Takes forever to get to highway speeds, which is extremely dangerous. When there is traffic on a highway, changing lanes into a lane in which traffic is going faster is extremely hard due to fear being rear-ended. Car struggles to get from 0-45 and will only do so when the accelerator is stepped down all the way. Transmission shifts are very jerky. Seems like the transmission doesn't know what gear to be in 90% of the time. All these symptoms appear to be in only the 4 cylinder model of the 2018 camrys.
