I have a 2004 v6 Camry. The car has no clues as to which gear it is supposed to be in. Half of the time you can put your foot on the gas and it will go and half the time it will not. I have almost gotten hit several times changing lanes or pulling out due to the car being stuck in gears. The shifting between 2 and 3 will jerk your neck. It has been to the dealerships over four times and everytime I am told that this is a charteristic of the car. I went last week. . . The general manager told me he felt the jerks in the transmission and proceeded to call Toyota to find out how to fix it. 30 minutes later I was told that I am on my own with it. Another dealership told me Toyota has had them replacing 02 sensors and many other useless ideas trying to correct the problem. This issue is on every single complaint website (including this one) and I want to know if someone has to be killed before Toyota is made to correct their mistakes? the brakes are the second issue. . . They do not work!! they have been reported over and over and nothing has been done. I have came within inches of hitting the car in front of me several times due to the brakes being smashed all the way to the floor and the car just not stopping.
