MY CARS TRANSMISSION SHIFTING IS VERY ROUGH AND "CLUNKY" WHEN COMING TO A STOP SIGN OR TRAFFIC LIGHT. MANY TIMES THE CAR WILL SEEM TO DOWNSHIFT RESULTING IN A STRONG PULLING (ALMOST A BRAKING SENSATION) PREVENTING A NORMAL COASTING TO A STOP SINCE, YOU NEED TO KEEP PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR TO COUNTERACT THE DOWNSHIFTING DURING A SLOW DOWN. THIS HAS ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT SEVERAL TIMES. ALSO, CONVERSELY, THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO PUSH THE CAR FORWARD IN THE FINAL BREAKING MOMENTS DUE TO THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTING PATTERNS. I HAVE ALMOST BUMPED THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME A FEW TIMES BECAUSE OF THIS. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN RECALIBRATED SEVERAL TIMES RESULTING IN A TEMPORARY FIX BUT, THE PROBLEM RETURNS, SOMETIMES IN LESS THAN 24 HOURS OF THE RECALIBRATING. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN DUE TO MY EXPERIENCES OF NEAR ACCIDENTS WITH MY CAR. *TR

I HAVE A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. IT HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER 3X SINCE I PURCHASED IT DUE TO A WHINING SOUND WHICH APPEARED SHORTLY AFTER THE CAR WAS PURCHASED. I HAVE BEEN TOLD EACH TIME THAT THERE WAS A NOISE BUT IT WASN'T UNUSUAL. 3 WEEKS AGO I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND I COMPLAINED OF THE SAME WHINING NOISE PROBLEM AND ASKED THEM TO DO THE "FIXES" ON THE CAR FOR THE TOYOTA ACCELERATING PROBLEMS. (THE PEDAL AND THE RUG - WHICH I WAS INSTRUCTED TO TAKE OUT IN THE PAST). WHEN I PICKED UP THE CAR I WAS TOLD THAT ALL CAMRYS HAVE THE SAME WHINING NOISE AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT WAS DONE, IF ANYTHING, TO THE PEDAL BUT I WAS TOLD TO PUT BACK IN THE SAME MAT WHICH HAD BEEN IN MY GARAGE. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL TOYOTAS IN THE PAST AND AM NOT TRYING TO JUMP ON THE BANDWAGON BUT I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE NOISE AND WHAT WAS DONE, IF ANYTHING, TO MAKE SURE MY FAMILY IS SAFE IN THE CAR. I HAVE OWNED SEVERAL TOYOTAS IN THE PAST AND HAVE HAD NO COMPLAINTS. IT ONLY HAS 4,000 MILES ON IT. *TR
