| Description of the problem | I have a 2006 toyota camery v6 and it has major transmission problems. The transmission doesn't properly change gears. The car drives slower than a car with a v4 engine. It seems to stall for a few seconds when attempting to change gears. I've taken it the dealer 4 times. Currently this car only has 12,000 miles and the dealer changed the transmission once. When i came back again and again with the same complaint the dealer claims that the car is operating as designed. I've gone into arbitration with toyota and they claim that there's nothing wrong with this car. |
