NHTSA Complaint #11229720 — 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY

WHEN ACCELERATING THE VEHICLE'S RPM REV, HESITATION AND THEN THE VEHICLE SPEEDS UP ONCE TRANSMISSION ENGAGES WITH THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE ACCELERATES AT A HIGH SPEED. THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER THE LAST THREE MONTHS ON AN INCLINE, 1.0 GRADE WHILE MERGING ONTO THE FREEWAY. ON FLAT SURFACES, THIS DOES NOT OCCUR. NO WARNING INDICATOR LIGHT TO INDICATE THERE WAS AN ISSUE. THE LAST TIME THE HESITATION HAPPENED I WAS TRAVELING AT 50 MPH TO GAIN SPEED TO MERGE ONTO THE FREEWAY. THE VEHICLES RPM WAS BETWEEN 5-6 AND THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT ENGAGE HOWEVER IT DID MOVE FORWARD AND ALLOWED ME TO PULL OFF TO THE SHOULDER. AT THIS TIME THERE IS NO INVOICE. WE HAVE A VERBAL ESTIMATION OF $4,000 FOR THE TRANSMISSION, CENTER CITY AUTOMOTIVE IN DAVIS, CA.
