| Description of the problem | I bought a 2010 toyota camry that has the new six speed automatic transmission. When i was coasting to slow down the transmission seemed to disengage and did not hold back anymore. I came within a foot of running into the rear of the car in front of me which was stopped at a red light. This had happened many times before but never this close to an accident. When the car reaches around 20mph the transmission doesn't hold back any longer and you have to put your foot on the brake hard. It is not a good feeling. On may 22, 2009 i called the salesman and he told me to come in and drive another 2010 camry to see if that transmission acted the same since this was the first year for the new six speed automatic. I took it in on the 22nd and the salesman and i took a new 2010 camry out for a drive and it acted the same way. So the conclusion was that all the 2010 camrys were the same and i would have to live with it. My wife is very leary about driving this car and afraid she will run into someone. We haven't had a problem with the accelerator, but the transmission seems to be a problem. We are very concerned now that the other problems have arisen about the camry. |
