I purchased this vehicle from d-276 adam's Toyota in lee's summit on or about 8/9/2021. After 250 miles of driving I began to noticed a stutter in the shifting from first to second gear. No other incident was noticed for 2 to 3 days. I was on the interstate a few days later from the first stutter when it occurred again but more pronounced. I do remember that I was accelerating at about 40% throttle because I was in a rush, and I believed the throttle intensity played a role in the abruptness of the stutter. When I reached the interstate I came to a cruising speed of around 70 and engaged the cruise. I noticed that it was behaving oddly and it would shift often to control the speed it's almost as if it's tolerances are extremely tight. The hard shifting continues but now I know to go light on the throttle to minimize impact. As for the cruise control I will only use cruise control on relatively flat roads whereas it is extremely shifty on hilly roads. (opinion begins) I believe the adaptive cruise control should have wider tolerances I only see this as contributing to transmission degradation.

During driving or from a stop the car hesitates to accelerate. On the dash board the rpm meter displays a jerking motion as well as the car physically. Usually occurs while driving long distances and when outside temperature is above 85f.

While coasting into a parking space my car accelerated hitting another car.

Whenever I want to back up the gear makes strange sound by switching to r gear from p. When I reach a certain speed limit my car vibrates for few seconds then it comes to normal.

Since I picked up the car new the cruse control will not work in the rain. . . Ore even if I wash the windshield it will go off. Car is always going at 30+ mph.

2017 Toyota Camry. Consumer writes in regards to unexpected acceleration. The consumer stated vehicle was totaled.

On January 25, 2017 at approx. 7:37 pm I started up the vehicle that was not in motion. Before placing the vehicle in motion I noticed the skid and parking brake lights were both on. I then checked the parking brake and it was in the release position (up). I put the vehicle into motion and both lights remained on. At approx. 7:45 pm I was driving cautiously on the highway at approx. 60 mph. At about 7:47 pm all of the sudden I felt the steering wheel stiffen, and at the same time the vehicle began to decelarate from 60 mph to speeds of approx. 40-45 mph. Simultaneously, I pressed on the gas pedal to accelerate but the vehicle failed to increase in speed so that is when I pressed on the gas pedal down to the floor but still the vehicle did not increase in speed. Taking notice of my immediate surroundings, I immediately noticed the skid and parking lights remained lit, so I used my left foot to double check the parking brake position and it remained in the release position (up). Not realizing what was actually happening to the vehicle, I panicked at that moment and I pressed down on the parking brake and this is when the vehicle spun out of control and off the highway into a ditch causing personal minor head injury to myself and my front passenger. The damage to the undercarriage is unknown, but the front and rear fender were proved obvious damaged. The air bags did not deploy. A police report and insurance claim were filed immediately after the accident. The vehicle was drivable and was later driven to my house and remains in the driveway until investigated by my insurance company.
