Transmission fails to shift quickly from starting, slow moving or trying to accelerate quickly when on highway while merging or changing lanes.
The transmission clunks when the lower forward transmission gear engages when accelerating on to the highway. This transmission defect can also be described as a thud that gives the driver the impression the Camry transmission will fail should the driver continue to apply pressure on the accelerator pedal.
Transmission failure. I am surprised that a car with just 117k miles could have a transmission failure. I was parked at a stop light and when it turned green my car just stopped moving. I showed my car to multiple auto shops and they say they are have seen this issue with 2002 Camry xle and not sure why since Camrys are generally considered reliable and have a longer life of 200k plus. Maybe a manufacturing defect?.

Automatic transmission failure on the freeway. Initially hard-shifting, then loss of power when accelerating to pass. Miles later while cruising on level ground on the freeway, the transmission disconnected (felt like it went to neutral) and I needed to pull over to the side of the road immediately. Turned off engine, waited and re-started car. Used a merging ramp to safely merge back into traffic. Toyota dealer tells me that the transmission fluid was like "chocolate" and there were chunks of metal in the bottom of the pan. Needed a new transmission ($3300-$4800). Car was last serviced at another Toyota dealer (wondries in alhambra, CA) 14,000 miles ago and had the transmission fluid changed at that time.

The contact stated that the transmission had failed several times. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.
2006 Camry xle I-4 transmission fluid changed at 30k miles came out black!! this means the fluid is being burned. Car not abused. Driven in 3rd & 2nd on two days 25 days apart down road to yosemite brake used to keep speed down. Only time I can think of that added stress to transmission. Another time I had to step/floor accelerator on freeway on-ramp up grade to keep fast moving semi-truck from running me over. This is normal operation. Transmission failure at these time could be very dangerous.

Engine light came on during a trip to lexington, ky on a Saturday. I experienced a bad shift on one occasion during that trip. Took it to the dealer the following Monday. Was told that my catalytic converter was going bad. Cost to repair was approx $800. Elected not to repair car at that time. I have approx 127000 miles on car and just paid it off last December. Within two weeks of this visit to the dealer, the transmission began to jerk when shifting between 25 and 40 mph. I parked car and began to drive my older vehicle until I could get it back into dealer. I took it to the dealer on Feb 14 and was told that my transmission needed replaced. I had all of completed transmission services during the life of the car. I feel that this is a safety problem as the transmission hesitated during driving and could have resulted in me being rear-ended by another vehicle. I am concerned with the quality of Toyota vehicles as I have read about their engine sludge problems and other people with transmission failures.
Camry automatic transmission fails when accelerator pressed during passing other vehicles or accessing highways. Nearly causes rear-end collisions.
Transmission failed at 75,000 miles even though it was serviced and the transmission was flushed at 30,000 and 60,000. The transmission locked up on the freeway doing 70 miles an hour.
On March 2, the engine on my Toyota Camry threw a rod, and resulted in a terminal failure of the engine. I have maintained this car since I bought it, supposedly "certified used" from roseville Toyota, in August 2002. I pleaded with Toyota motor corporation for assistance but they said that my warranty had expired 2 months prior to this incident. Due to extreme strains on my time, I had the engine rebuilt for nearly $3700. Upon driving the car for less than 200 miles after having the engine rebuilt, the transmission has failed and needs to be replaced at an estimated $1500. I do not have time or money to continually repair this car and have asked for assistance from both roseville Toyota and Toyota motor corporation both. It was recently brought to my attention that the Toyota that I purchased from roseville Toyota was never certified to begin with. They misleadingly sold me a car under the false impression that it was certified when it was not. I place the blame for the recent failures and resultant repair fees on roseville Toyota. If I had known that this particular car was not a certified Toyota vehicle, I would never have taken it off the lot and consequentially experienced any of the problems described above. However, I was falsely mislead to believe that I was getting a certified vehicle and drove off happily. None of the parts repaired or replaced are available.

While driving vehicle on highway at 75 mph the transmission failed, causing vehicle to slow down at an unsafe rate. Please provide additional information. Mr.
The front headlights do not illuminate road properly. They have been adjusted by the dealer at least four times. The lights still do not illuminate the road properly and are a safety concern. Front suspension shakes aggresively (often at highway speeds) making driving very dangterous. Several attempts to correct by dealer. Problem still occurs. All four tires wore completely out in less than 12,000 miles. Front end pulled strongly to right. Dealer tried to corred several times. Front end now pulls to the left. Rear end "bangs" and "bottoms out" often while at speed. Dealer suggested that this safety concern is "typical" of this car. The transmission has failed to hold car while on an incline at least twice. Was not able to duplicate for dealer. Rear door has never closed properly. Dealer has attampted several reapirs. Door still "creeks and pops" when opened.
Transmission failed. Mjs.
