What owners wrote
I was in a multi-storey car park and I spotted a free space 20 yards ahead. I took my foot off the accelerator, and the vehicle begun to lose speed normally. I applied the brake gently to turn right into an empty spot. I was braking to a halt at an appropriate distance from a retaining wall when suddenly, with no warning, the toyota lurched forward at an incredible rate of acceleration, struck the wall then bounced back several feet and the engine cut out.
2005 toyota camry le v6 gradually speed up to about 25 MPH. Stop short (you don't have to lock them up, but stop quickly) then accelerate again. When I stop short, my transmission shifts into neutral, and it takes about 3 seconds to shift back into first. When it does, I get quite a jolt. Brought car back to dealer, they are saying it is normal.
