| Description of the problem | At low speed (15-39 mph), the transmission shift roughly. The car was either pulled back (1) by the engine or jumped (2,while my foot on the break pedal) during the down shift. The pulling back (1) gives the same effect as using engine breaking in the manual transmission. Based on the signs that i have seen on interstate, state laws (in some states) prohibit driver to use engine breaking. The jumping (2) was very bad. The car needed approximately 3-10 feet more to stop due to the unpredictable jumping behavior. Well 3-10 feet does not seem to be a lot but let say if you are 1 foot away from running over a living thing.......... This problem have happened since i bought the car new and they still be a serious problem. I have been driven about 10-20 cars (including rentals) but i have never experienced the jumping (2, while my foot on the break pedal) until i bought this camry. After reading the reviews online, this seems to be a common problem for this model. This problem needs immediate attentions. |
