| Description of the problem | Hi i recently purchased a 2018 toyota camry in september with 7,000 miles on it and now it has almost 8,000 miles on it. After 1 week of purchase i am having some problems especially with the engine and transmission. Engine because i am feeling a lose of power when accelerating and not smooth when driving also it is noisy when you start the car. Also when at a full stop i can feel the vehicle shake and when you put your foot on the gas pedal and drive at 20 mph you can feel the pedal shake. Transmission because i can feel the transmission jerking and when you put it on drive it doesn't feel like you are on drive it feels like you are on neutral driving because of how rough it is when you accelerate. I also went to the dealer for this matter but they couldn't do anything. Please help me because i am very frustrated with toyota because many of my family members have toyotas and they never had this issue. The car is good but the lack of performance has disappointed me because toyotas have a great reputation and now they are just giving that all up just to save money on fixing this issue that's what i feel that they are doing. Thats why i am disappointed with toyota and there engineering because i feel that they put in too much for the redesigned part but not the performance part. |
