| Description of the problem | Toyota camry xle v6 has transmission issues. First 5000 mi service has already been completed. Car currently has ~8k miles and has not improved. (1) first gear does not shift smoothly to second. Car jolts during this shift. Issue is worse when the car is cold, but can be reproduced even when it is warmed up. (2) transmission takes a long time to downshift after accelerator is pressed. Seems to be very confused in picking the right gear. (3) transmission is too eager to downshift when accelerator is not pressed and car is slowing down. This results in rough jolts as the car is slowing down or braking. |
