| Description of the problem | Every morning when the vehicle is first started up and both the engine and transmission are cold, vehicle exhibits a transmission flare between the first and second gear during normal driving behavior whilst the accelerator pedal is depressed - even if only slightly. During the incident, which lasts no more than five seconds, the engine "revs" significantly (up to 2500-3000 rpm from 1000) and the transmission appears to be in a "neutral" state, e. G. "slipping" between gears. The vehicle also jerks and shifts violently while downshifting when coasting occurs mainly at highway speeds, but does occur sometimes at neighborhood speeds. The former said issue only appears during the morning after the vehicle has been sitting for an extended period of time (i. E. Come home from work and leave next morning), and is unable to be duplicated at any other time. On the other hand, the latter said issue occurs nearly every time the vehicle is used. The vehicle has been brought to the local toyota dealership where repair attempts have already been made, but have been unsuccessful. The vehicle will be brought back for service once again. It is important to note that these problems are very similar to earlier problems the 2007 camry experienced (which is the same generation as the 2011 camry) -- to which several tsbs were issued to correct those problems. |
