2013 Toyota Camry Cruise Control Problems

Your 2013 Camry hesitates and doesn't respond immediately when you press the accelerator pedal while driving at low speeds (15-20 mph), and this problem is happening more frequently. No warning light appears on the dashboard. The issue hasn't been diagnosed or repaired yet. This hesitation could be caused by a fuel delivery problem, dirty fuel injectors, or a throttle control issue that may need cleaning or replacement of components.

Your car shudders or vibrates when shifting gears. This happens during normal acceleration and gear changes. The problem may indicate an issue with your transmission or engine mounts that should be inspected and repaired by a mechanic.

THE ISSUE DID NOT HAPPEN ON A CONSIST BASIS UNTIL LAST MONTH. EVERYTIME I DRIVE MY CAR HESITATES. IT TAKES A MINUTE OR TWO FOR MY CAR TO ACCELERATE. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF I'M ON A LOCAL ROAD, INTERSTATE OR GOING UP A HILL. THE OUTCOME IS THE SAME.

WHEN I'M DRIVING AFTER AROUND 40 MPH. MY CAR SPEED SENSOR SHAKING

ON THURSDAY OCTOBER 10, AROUND 02:05AM IN HUNTINGTON AVENUE AND PARKER HILL AVENUE IN BOSTON MASSACHUSETTS. I WAS AT THE TRAFFIC LIGHT ON RED, FOOT ON BRAKE AND THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND IMMEDIATELY I STEPPED ON THE ACCELERATOR MY CAR SPED OFF OVER 70MPH WHICH I KNOW ON THE CITY ROAD ON A RAINY DAY IT IS A 25MPH ZONE. IN AN ATTEMPT TO SLOW DOWN WITH BRAKES MY CAR STARTED SPINNING , IT CIRCLED IN THE SAME HIGH SPEED ABOUT THREE TIMES, STOPPED AND RETURNED TO NORMAL. FORTUNATELY FOR US IT WAS AN EMPTY STREET DURING THAT EARLY HOURS AND THANK GOD IT DID NOT CRASH INTO ANY PERSON OR PROPERTY. WE CONTINUED TO THE FINAL DESTINATION WITHOUT ANY ISSUES.

I WAS VISITING SOMEONE AT A HOSPITAL. I ENTERED THE PARKING GARAGE AND PROCEEDED TO THE 2ND FLOOR. I BEGAN TO ENTER A PARKING SPACE SLOWLY WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, WHEN THE CAR ACCELERATED AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED ALL BY ITSELF FORWARD,SLAMMING INTO THE BARING WALL IN FRONT OF ME. AFTER CRASHING INTO THE WALL, THE ENGINE IS STILL GOING LOUDLY, (REVVING) AND THE TIRES ARE SPINNING. I WAS PUSHING ON THE BRAKE PEDAL SO HARD TO TRY AND GET THE CAR TO STOP, OR SHUT DOWN, THAT I BROKE 2 BONES IN MY FOOT. THE AIRBAGS WENT OFF, INJURING MY CHEST. I FINALLY GOT THE CAR TO STOP, BY THROWING IT IN PARK.

ACCELERATION HESITATION AT SLOW SPEEDS, ESPECIALLY WHILE TURNING.

WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP THE VEHICLE WILL SOMETIMES MOVE ABOUT 10 FEET AND THEN HESITATE FOR ABOUT 1 TO 2 SECONDS. IT WILL THEN ACCELERATE NORMALLY

FROM STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT WHEN START MOVING FORWARD THE CAR HASITATE FOR 1-2 SECONDS AND THEN ACCELERATE NORMAL. THAT HAPPENS EVERY TIME.

OCCASIONALLY, THE CAR HESITATES AFTER ACCELERATING FROM A COMPLETE STOP. THE CAR WILL MOVE FORWARD FOR A FEW FEET, BUT THE GAS PEDAL WILL BECOME UNRESPONSIVE WHILE STILL STEPPING ON THE GAS PEDAL. IT WILL GAIN SOME ACCELERATION AFTER RELEASING AND STEPPING ON IT AGAIN. AFTER THIS HAPPENS, I HAVE TO REPEATEDLY RELEASE AND STEP ON THE GAS PEDAL BECAUSE IT IDLES FREQUENTLY PREVENTING ME FROM "MOVING FORWARD," UNTIL I REACH THE DESIRE SPEED LIMIT. THE SOFTWARE WAS UPDATED, BUT THE PROBLEM STILL PERSIST. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE DISAPPOINTED ONCE AGAIN.

I WAS TURNING INTO MY NEIGHBORHOOD GOING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH WHEN AN EMERGENCY LIGHT FLASHED ON AND OFF. IT WAS SO QUICK THAT I WAS UNABLE TO IDENTIFY WHICH EMERGENCY LIGHT. AFTER DRIVING ANOTHER 100 FEET THE EMERGENCY LIGHT THAT IS AN EXCLAMATION POINT IN A TRIANGLE LIT UP AND STAYED ON AS MY VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN. THE ACCELERATOR STOPPED WORKING ENTIRELY. THE ENGINE DID NOT REV AS I TRIED TO ACCELERATE THE CAR. I WAS ABLE TO APPLY THE BRAKES AND BRING THE CAR TO A STOP. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND THEN IN DRIVE AND THE CAR DROVE WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. IT HAS SINCE BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE LAST WEEK.

THIS HAPPENED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE DEALERSHIP IS INVESTIGATING THESE ISSUES CURRENTLY. *TR
