“While driving I slowed down due to a car being in front of me but when I pressed on the gas the car stalled and would not pick up speed or accelerate. My car has 24,000 miles and have noticed a hesitation when in traffic during stop and go traffic when I first purchased the car 6,000 miles but recently at 24,000 miles 1 instance of stalling”

NHTSA complaint #11348748, filed 2020-08, 24,000 miles

“When in cruise control on the freeway I have noticed that when a car passes you when it changes lanes in front of you it decreases the speed from 68 MPH to an abrupt 57 MPH even when I have 6 to 7 car lengths between the car in front of me, when this occurs.I stopped using the cruise control feature because this could cause an accident if a car behind me was following to close and would crash into my rear of my vehicle”

NHTSA complaint #11316289, filed 2020-03, 8,000 miles

“My 2019 camery completely stalls at take off. You go to accelerate and it stalls. I have brought this to my dealerships attention and they say things are fine. This is very dangerous when your in the freeway and trying to pass or merge. I have drove plenty of cars and never had a acceleration issue. This does it at a full stop it takes forever to get going on the take off. This has to be a major issue as I have read up on it and living proof my car does it as well. …”

NHTSA complaint #11299454, filed 2020-01, 11,000 miles

“The first problem: the car has acceleration delays, it bucks and lags when switching lanes and driving in heavy traffic. The car jerks when accelerating at slow speeds. I almost got into a serious accident due to the acceleration delays when making a left in heavy traffic. The second problem is, I received a vehicle alert message on may 30th at 10:30am regarding the srs airbag system. A malfunction in the srs airbag system has been detected. Contact your Toyota dealer to have your vehicle inspected. …”

NHTSA complaint #11339020, filed 2020-07, 3,000 miles

“The car has an issue with shifting from 1st to 2nd. When pressing gas pedal the car briefly accelerates and then the RPM drops and the car almost decelerates. When pressing the gas pedal again the car starts to jerk back and forth until the gas pedal is released. The problem is very reproducible and my sales managers at Toyota sunnyvale were trying to convince me that this is normal. They even claimed to have driven a number of other similar cars and told me that all of them have this normal behavior (which confirms that a lot of cars should have this problem). …”
