I have a 2019 Camry SE with a similar jerky transmission. For me, the problem occurs at low speed and it seems more systematic when reaccelerating from a rolling stop. After slowing down to below 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. It makes me brace for the jolt every single time and makes me dread driving my BRAND NEW vehicle. My wife’s 2014 Accord Sport is a lot more pleasant to drive. I am so disappointed that I am seriously considering selling the car after less than 5 months of ownership, which would be a first for somebody like me who likes to keep cars forever.
After reading about the experience of other owners trying to get the car fixed and getting answers like “there is nothing wrong with the car,†“the car operates normally,†“that’s how the new 8-speed transmission is supposed to work,†etc., I went out yesterday and test drove other 2019/2020 Camry’s to see if they all operated like mine (or the ones described here). Surprisingly, none of the three vehicles that I test drove had a jerky transmission. They all drove smoothly, at all speeds! While that made me feel good that the issue might be less systematic than I thought, it also made me furious that many service departments would brush off complaints from owners and argue that there was no problem.
I know without the shade of a doubt that my car does NOT operate as well as the ones that I test drove yesterday, not even close! Since at the time of my test drives I was pretending to be shopping for a new Camry (I went in in my wife’s Accord), I couldn’t bring up the issue with my own vehicle. I am now planning to take the car in for inspection tomorrow and have a technician test-drive it back-to-back with a well functioning Camry from the lot. Let’s see if they say that my car operates normally… I will report back to keep y’all in the loop!
