My brand new Camrys transmission does not shift right in city traffic. It clunks in and out, and it hesitates as I approach stop lights, and during pull outs. It seems like it does not know when to shift up or down. I have been told it is because the shifts are initiated by a new, and cheaper processor chip which controls the shifting pattern, and that the processors often can not tell for sure when the best time to shift should be...so it hesitates often resulting in what feels like a stall or momentary hesitation in shifting. It happens a lot, and I have heard many other complaints on this issue. Its not bad enough the Camry could become a runaway...now the transmissions don't shift right either. My life's savings went to the new car. I feel like Toyota is laughing at me. I was really taken in by Toyota quality. Do you think Toyota should be looking in to this transmission issue as well as the brakes, steering, rust, and drive shafts falling off? I feel the erratic transmission shifting is dangerous in city driving.
