2003 Toyota Camry xle review from North America
"If it were not for the shifting problem - I would be completely satisfied with the car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Poor shifting in low gears.
General comments?
The car has a problem with shifting from 1st to 2nd. It will lurch and jerk forward before shifting.
I have had in it 3 times for repairs & each time the problem comes back within two weeks.
I have been told that Toyota has had numerous complaints/problems with this issue and that most of the time it has been repaired to the customer's sasisfaction.
I need to know if other folks are having this same problem and what has Toyota done about it? I have just contacted them and started the dispute resolution process.
