2021 Toyota Camry Transmission Problems

Your transmission hesitates and stutters when shifting from 1st to 2nd gear, and you can feel the car jolt during these transitions. While driving at a steady pace on the highway, the transmission sometimes delays before shifting, then suddenly kicks into a higher gear without you accelerating—as if the gear is catching up to where it should be. A Toyota dealer should diagnose the transmission fluid condition, shift solenoids, and transmission control module to identify the cause of the delayed and erratic shifting.

Your transmission is making a whining noise that starts around 20 mph and gets progressively louder as you drive faster. This could indicate low transmission fluid, a failing pump, or internal transmission wear. A transmission inspection and fluid level check would be needed to diagnose the issue.

Your transmission is staying in a higher gear even at low speeds, which causes your car to shudder or vibrate. You have to press hard on the gas pedal to make the transmission downshift to a lower gear. This could indicate a transmission control or shifting problem that may need diagnostic inspection and potential transmission fluid service or valve adjustment.

Your 2021 Camry is making a whining noise from the transmission that started at 67,000 miles. The noise began after 3-4 years of ownership, which is outside the 60,000-mile warranty period. A Toyota dealer quoted $12,000 for a complete transmission replacement to fix the issue.

Your 2021 Toyota Camry threw a P0705 code related to the neutral safety switch at 79,000 miles. After replacing the switch with a new part, the problem returned within 10 minutes and your transmission started slipping. This suggests either the replacement part was faulty, the switch wasn't installed correctly, or there may be a deeper transmission or wiring issue. You'll likely need to have the neutral safety switch reinstalled, the wiring checked, or the transmission diagnosed by a technician.

Was driving in a FastTrack/commuter lane on the Interstate at 65MPH, all of a sudden my car would not accelerate forward. It coasted a bit. I was able to stop between the Fastrack lane and an exit space, in the triangular median. I easily could have gotten hit, especially if I had been where there was no painted median I decided to walk behind the sand filled garbage cans that were infrint of the guardrail. I feared people might miss their exit and kill me. Behind those cans seemed safer. I was told by Toyota Dealer my transmission needs replacement. It's covered under manufacture warrenty. I bought car in August 2021 new from dealer.it has 51808 miles.

The transmission on this vehicle has a delayed shifting between 1st and 2nd gears when accelerating. I am concerned that there is a transmission issue happening.

Transmission when shifting at lower gears

2021 Camry only 24k miles received an engine maintenance required light pop up on my car. Took it to the Toyota dealer and was told i needed REPLACE ENGINE COOLANT BYPASS VALVE-CODE P268115 ENGINE COOLANT BYPASS VALVE. Car is only 3 years old and should not be having this issue. Was told warranty does not cover definitely is a manufacturing issue. There should be a recall.

A couple Monday’s ago, I was backing my 2021 Camry LE out of the driveway when I felt the car lurch and continue in reverse until I crashed into a car down the street. I have literally backed out of that driveway thousands of time since 2006, hundreds of times with the Camry LE, and several times since the accident. I have never had this experience. While I cannot dismiss that I might have hit the accelerator, the backing out of the driveway usually requires that I ride the brake into the street, especially since I am right off the corner where cars tend to cut around quickly.

The contact owns a 2021 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that while attempting to park her vehicle in her apartment complex parking lot, her vehicle continued to lurch forward without warning despite multiple attempts to stop. Due to the failure, the contact hit a gate as the vehicle continued to independently accelerate. The contact then placed the vehicle into reverse(R) and as the vehicle continued to accelerate in a different gear. The contact then hit the vehicle behind her which then caused that vehicle to hit another vehicle located next to the original vehicle that was hit. The vehicle continued to accelerate with her brake pedal depressed to the floorboard. The contact then placed the vehicle back into driver(D) which sent the vehicle into another gate which then finally stopped the vehicle. The contact stated that property damage to both gates occurred as a result of the failure. The matter had been reported to the property owner and remained under investigation; no decision had been made. The air bags did not deploy at any time during the failure. The police were called to the scene and a police report was filed (22-030393). The contact suffered pain in her lower back and both shoulders; she did not seek medical attention. The vehicle remained in her possession and had yet to be towed or diagnosed. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a case was filed. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 21,000.
