NHTSA Complaint #11231185 — 2018 TOYOTA CAMRY

AFTER SLOWING DOWN OR COMPLETELY STOPPING, MY CAR STALLS AS I REACCELERATE. WHEN I SLOW DOWN (I.E TO TURN, ETC) AND THEN REACCELERATE THE CAR STALLS, SLOW TO GAIN SPEED, AND AT TIMES EVEN JERKS SLIGHTLY- THIS MAINLY OCCURS WHEN I SLOW DOWN AND THEN REACCELERATE ON AN INCLINE (I.E GETTING ON A BRIDGE). IF I AM STOPPED COMPLETELY AT A LIGHT, ETC, THE CAR DELAYS UPON ACCELERATION, AND WILL KICK-IN AFTER A COUPLE SECONDS, ALSO, IF I ATTEMPT TO INCREASE MY SPEED SUDDENLY (I.E TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE QUICKLY TO PREVENT BEING REAR-ENDED!) THE TIME TO ACCELERATE IS DELAYED. THE GAS PEDAL DOES NOT STICK, BUT SEEMS TO BE A DELAY IN CHANGING GEARS OR SOMETHING. I DRIVE ~120 MILES A DAY, MOSTLY MULTI-LANE ROADWAYS, AND IN HEAVILY TRAFFICKED AREAS WITH MANY TOURISTS AND YOUNG DRIVERS. I ENCOUNTER MANY IRRESPONSIBLE SPEEDERS EVERYDAY, AND SOMETIMES I NEED TO GET OUT OF THEIR WAY ASAP TO AVOID BEING RUN OVER! THIS IS MY 4TH TOYOTA IN 20 YEARS, AND A REGRETTABLE PURCHASE. THIS ISSUE STARTED ABOUT 1 MONTH AFTER PURCHASING, AND I HAVE EXPERIENCED IT EVERYDAY SINCE.
