1 Transmission Not Go Into Gear problem

Failure Date: 09/13/2016

I was driving to work on the interstate and I noticed that I could no longer drive past 45 mph on the interstate where speed limit is 60mph. I then was able thank god to get off interstate and exit to side street. I noticed immediately that my vehicle would not go past 3rd gear and speed would only accelerate to 45mph. I made appointment the same day to get car looked at at bob howard Toyota. Later that day it was confirmed that my transmission was gone(bad) . I am informed that this is a manufacturing problem and it is my expectation to have this resolved ASAP at Toyota corporation expense as well as providing me transportation at their expense not mine! I also had my vehicle serviced approximately 4-6 weeks ago and I do not recall being informed of any problems with the transmission/power train system. Thank you in advance for your expedient response and resolution to this matter and it being at Toyota's full expense and not mine respectfully submitted kim benson ps contact information (405-824-9904) or (405-427-7411).

2 Transmission Not Go Into Gear problem

Failure Date: 12/03/2013

Started car in morning and it was making winding noise, left and noticed the tranny did not know what gear to be in , when I would stop it the tranny could not down shift fast enough and it would bang down in gear, and the speed odometer would jump up as it was shifting down, you have to keep your foot on the brake or it will jump forward,it has snowed a few times since and you can not drive it in the snow at all, it lurches at slow speeds and you have to keep your foot on break , it drives it self and keeps shifting up and down it is a death trap waiting to happen, other people have drove it and the same issues , I have put a 1000 miles on it and I hate it, my 1998 Camry is safer to drive then this car, never a Toyota again , only made 1 payment and ready to trade in and take a loss, thanks Toyota.

4 Transmission Not Go Into Gear problem

Failure Date: 06/30/2012

Transmission issues. . . . . While doing mostly city driving and in the first ten minutes of driving, transmission will not know what gear it wants to be in, there is a whiny noise associated with it also (never heard this before in the Toyota's I have owned). While at a complete stop the vehicle will almost die to conserve fuel. When you go to start back up the vehicle will do this gear "checking" process leading to the vehicle not moving as it should. Once it finds the correct gear the car will lunge very quickly and almost create rear end collisions. I have two intersections near my home that I am afraid to come to because I have to floor the gas and step on the brake pedal so the car does not stall and so that the car will make it across the intersection without getting t-boned. I almost got t-boned twice due to this the last happening on 6-30-12. This issue is a 6-15 mph issue and when cold more than warmed up. I read that this issue is not an issue but a learning transmission and that it tries to learn operators. With 21,000 miles a car should not be learning and what if a different operator drives it? the car will jerk me around while on my 8 mile jaunt to the highway in the mornings. Once on the highway this is a non-issue. I called Toyota and they have not issued a recall but I have read of many other terrified Toyota 2011 and 2010 Camry owners that have called them and several have contacted your organization. There is a TSB (technical service bulletin) 0287-10 out for the learning of this transmission but it has not help my situation or others from what I read. (updated transmission software) I will not allow my wife or children in this car. I even took the keys with me once while away on business so she would not forget and drive it.
