There is always a huge delay when accelerating with this car which has to do something with the transmission. If you press your foot on the gas, it will jerk and delay then take off. If you have to quickly accelerate to avoid a crash, you are not going to be able to since the car keeps doing this. I had a car speed towards me and I needed to get out of the way, but this delayed my acceleration and jerked. Luckily the other car braked and my car moved away enough after the delay to avoid any crash. This needs to be fixed on the 2019 models.
Transmission is some times shifts slow and then fast acceleration when pulling in traffic it hesitate to go all most like you are going to be hit by another car
The 2019 Toyota camry having issues with the transmission. When accelerating from a complete stop, the transmission hesitate for a few seconds before it jolts forward when shifting gears. it also does this when traveling at a higher speed. When I slow down approaching a red at 30mph, the light will turn green and when I try accelerating it jerks pretty bad. Another thing I've experienced is the car shaking or rattling while drive early in the morning. always happens between 630-700am. Ive gone to Toyota and they said the car have to get used to me driving.

I was in the drive thru queue at burger king and I had the brake hold activated, waiting for my turn. The car just vibrated and shut down. I tried to start it again it never started. On the dash it said coolant temp high, charging system malfunction, drive start control malfunction, brake override malfunction. I thought I needed antifreeze so I walked to sunoko to buy one. Tried to put some in but antifreeze was full so I couldn't top up. The antifreeze is in the trunk. I tried to get a jump thinking it was the battery but it still didn't start. I towed to Toyota and now they're telling me the computers are not communicating right with each other. My gas says 65535mi distance to empty. My car is been sitting at the dealership for a week now and they didn't give me a loaner car even though I have warranty on it.
I was making a left turn (from a stop sign) out of my neighborhood and the car hesitated then, all of a sudden it rev'd up, and shot forward. I'm sure the neighbors thought I was hot rodding. This happened again on a separate day when I was waiting to turn left at a traffic light. There was a pickup truck coming from the opposite direction, but he was far enough away, so I gave it some gas to start my turn. My car hesitated and I thought the pickup was going to hit me, but then my car rev'd up and lunged forward as previously. I thought that maybe it had something to do with making left turns, but one day I was driving about 40 mph on a 45 mph level road and I gave it gas to increase my speed to 45 ---- the same thing happened ---- hesitation, rev'd up, lunged forward. It still does it, but I'm trying to be very careful driving it because I don't know if I'm going to be the next traffic fatality, or worse, cause someone else to be killed or maimed. I also told the service rep when I took my car in for regular maintenance and asked if they could check it. He told me they had checked it and it's okay. I looked at the service report but, I couldn't find where they had checked it. I started looking for info via the internet on this problem and found other sites that had people complaining about it. So, the next regular maintenance I took my car in for, I mentioned it to the service rep and told him about all the complaints I've read concerning this problem of hesitation, etc. I said it seems that it must be normal for this car and that's why the mechanic said it was okay. He agreed that it's normal for this car, but I have nothing in writing that he said that or that the problem was even checked. You never know when it will happen. It happens in all three driving modes. Check: Https://www.cargurus.com/cars/discussion-M7_ds895703
My car, since the purchase at 51 miles, is constantly not accelerating when I push the gas. I have taken it to allen Toyota, 11 July 2020, where they stated there was a known issue with calibration. The calibration was completed, but the car is still doing the same thing. Once the car has been in park and stationary for a few hours, it is awful when taking off because the car jerks and acts as if it will turn off. The car now is jerking when driving on the interstate at 70 mph daily. This is dangerous since I cannot depend on the car to speedup when and as needed and I'm afraid it my stall and cause an accident.
In stop and go traffic, traveling at slow speeds with ac on in the middle of summer, if changing to a faster lane, having the gas floored, the car wouldn't accelerate/down shift that lasted about 5-10 seconds before it accelerated. One time, a car that was two cars in front of me pulled out and he was gone, while I was still sitting there with no acceleration and another car quickly approaching from the rear! I was told that others were complaining about these issues, they felt the problem but it is normal operations for the 4 cyl Camry's, that the transmission is computer controlled, and there wasn't anything they could do until Toyota put out a mod for the computer. They said Toyota should have something out soon with all the complaints, but it has been almost a year and no repair available.
Vehicle often has extreme hesitation when applying gas. Car often lags. Does not accelerate consistently as it should. Primarily occurs after car is moving slowly.
My 2019 Camry SE has a jerky transmission. The problem occurs at low speed and seems more systematic when reaccelerating from a rolling stop. After slowing down to under 15 mph or so and attempting to regain speed (before reaching a full stop), the car typically takes a second or two to respond to throttle input then lurches forward in an aggressive and potentially dangerous way. This is not a minor inconvenience that one gets used to or can learn to live with. I believe it has the potential to cause harm to me and others in busy traffic.
Hesitation on acceleration from a slow roll or rolling stop. Car exhibit a hesitation on acceleration from a slow roll or rolling stop under the following conditions. 6 mph or below immediately following a 3 ' 1 downshift less than 40% accelerator pedal application
The transmission starting from a complete stop doesn't seem to be proper. It revs up a lot before shifting gear. Transmission is also jerky/hesistant when doing a sudden down-press on the gas-pedal
The new car has does not accelerate for sometime at stop and go and no matter how much U press the gas pedal, and when you press harder for a while a jerky quick gear change happens with unintended accelaration rates. This became particularly of concern on freeway/tollway when I tried changing lanes as the traffic started clearing, putting me at risk with fast moving traffic. The above experience of gear shift or accelaration issue is consistent behavior since I owned this car for past 2 weeks
While driving up a hill, the Camry would not accelerate with the gas pedal fully pressed. At the top of the hill, the Camry with the transmission in drive began rolling backward down the hill at what was approximately 25-30 mph. The brake would not stop the movement of the car. Eventually, the emergency brake was also put in place. The Camry rolled down the entire hill and stopped when the back tire hit the curb. The car was still on and in drive mode. We did not collide with any other cars because most were off the street. It was extremely dangerous. Fortunately, we could have been severely injured or worse. This took place on a city street. The hill is very walkable. The fact that the car would not accelerate with the gas pedal fully depressed is alarming for a new car with less than 4 months of use. The brakes would not stop the car from rolling backward while the transmission was in drive. Once the car stopped, it showed a car failure notice. The car was towed to Toyota and remains with the dealership today..
The transmission on this car does not shift the way it should. When accelerating from a stop the transmission seems to have trouble deciding what gear it should be in and the shift points are too high especially when shifting into 3rd or 4th gear. There is some serious hesitation that should not be present. Also, when downshifting it feels like someone tapped the brake pedal because it slows down significantly. If a car brakes in front of me and I have to slow down and then get back on the gas to speed back up it takes too long for the car to get up to speed to keep up with traffic. This has all happened on side streets as I have not taken the car on the highway yet.
