Consumer Description

2005 TOYOTA CAMRY FAILURE IS IN THE NATURE OF DELAYED TRANSMISSION RESPONSE. INCIDENTS HAPPEN AT AROUND 25-40MPH, MAINLY WHILE COASTING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, ALSO WHILE IN PROCESS OF SLOW ACCELERATION WHILE CHANGING LANES. VEHICLE DROPS IN SPEED/DELAYS AND THEN LUNGES, MANY TIMES MAKING A STRONG KICK/JERK BEFORE ALLOWING COMPLETION OF LANE CHANGE OR ACCELERATION. HAS CAUSED QUITE A FEW CLOSE CALLS WHILE MERGING INTO LANES. ALSO, VERY DELAYED RESPONSE WHILE TAKING OFF FROM A STOP SIGN OR COASTING THROUGH AT SLOW SPEEDS AT AN INTERSECTION, CAR DELAYS SHIFTING. REVS TO THE 3RPM MARK WHILE STILL STUCK AT 15MPH. DEALER DOES NOT HELP WITH WARRANTY B/C THEY "CAN'T FEEL THE PROBLEM" WHEN TEST DRIVING. HAVE GOTTEN THE RESPONSE "THAT IT IS A NORMAL FUNCTION". *TR
