I purchased a 2008 Toyota Camry se with a six speed automatic transmission. The transmission started slipping at about 750 miles. It has gotten progressively worse. I thought maybe there is a break in period until it slipped when I pulled out of a parking lot on to a very busy street. The transmission just quit the engine raced but the car wouldn't accelerate. As I was in traffic I tried to coast to the right side of the road. I guess I still had my foot on the accelerator pedal. There was a loud bang and the transmission started working again. As I was trying to avoid an accident and was pulling to the right side of the road the sudden application of the transmission shot me up and over the curb damaging the right side wheels and the front bumper. I took it to the dealer and they told me there was nothing wrong and the transmission had no codes and they could do nothing about my concern. I researched this condition online after speaking with the service advisor to see if others were having the same problems. I found hundreds of cases just like mine. One referred me to Toyota web site. There was a phone number so I called and told them what was happening. They gave me a case number and told me they would contact me. The next day a paul timberlake from Toyota called and told me there was nothing they could do about it. He mentioned that the dealer fowler Toyota in norman oklahoma couldn't get it to act up. He then told me "the condition was normal. " I was shocked. I told him the black spot on the curb was still there. He said "well you cant prove it that the transmission caused the accident. " again I was shocked. The problem is this condition is going to cost someone their life. There is a petition being circulated by owners such as myself. This condition is dangerous because it could and does happen at any time. Mr timberlake also said "the dealership told me that you have never changed the oil. " I was again shocked. I changed the oil myself and have the recipt.
