After coming to a stop at a red light on a four lane highway, when the light turned green, the 2014 Toyota Camry would not move forward for about 5 sec. The second incident occurred on the same day. When attempting a left turn across traffic, the car stalled again for about 3 seconds. It was a rental from hertz and was exchanged for another auto.
The Toyota Camry 2014 is designed so that you may take your 'key fob' and leave the car without putting it in park turning off the motor putting the parking brake on how stupid is this! you then have a google self driving car without you in it. You could even run over yourself.
When accelerating to make a left turn vehicle will sometimes move about 10 feet and then hesitate for 1 to 2 seconds. This is very dangerous when car stops in middle of the road. This is an accident waiting to happen. I have taken car to dealer twice and they say if you don't come to a complete stop the car thinks it is in third gear and computer has to figure out what to do. This is not good because you do not always come to a complete stop......updated 03-03-15 updated 9/21/2017
When accelerating from a stop the vehicle will sometimes move about 10 feet and hesitate for 1 to 2 seconds.it is very dangerous when turning left at an intersection with on coming cars. It is infrequent and you never know when it will happen. It is an accident waiting to happen. It happened on Friday 2/6/15 with my grandkids in the car. I had the car to dealer ON12/30/2014 and they said they couldn't find anything wrong but car continues to do this.
The contact owns a 2014 Toyota Camry. While driving approximately 40 mph, the rpms decreased and the accelerator pedal failed to increase the speed of the vehicle. The vehicle eventually came to a complete stop, but did not stall. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure recurred on several occasions. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 2,000. Updated 03/04/15 updated 9/12/2017

I was traveling on a freeway at approximately 60 mph. The vehicle abruptly lost power when I "stepped on the accelerator" to compensate for a slight upgrade on the freeway, and subsequently slowed to approximately 20 mph, forcing me to pull onto the shoulder and stop the vehicle. The vehicle idled normally while parked on the shoulder; however, the vehicle had no power, would not accelerate above 20-25 mph, and forced slow travel on the shoulder of the road in an attempt to reach the nearest off-ramp.. I was forced to travel along the shoulder of the freeway at approximately 20 mph for two or three miles. Each time I attempted to "step on the gas" while traveling of the shoulder of the freeway, the engine would "stumble", appear to lose power, and force me to let up on the "gas." After traveling on the shoulder of the freeway for two to three miles, the vehicle abruptly regained power and allowed me to resume freeway travel at 55-60 mph. Prior to the 24 August, 2014, incident on the freeway, the vehicle momentarily lost power when accelerating on a freeway on-ramp; however, the problem was only a momentary event that corrected itself in a few seconds.
Pulled into my driveway, foot on brake speed 10mph.slowing to stop when vehicle started to accelerate at a high rate by itself.I put the vehicle into neutral and applied full brakes, vehicle came to stop. Toyota needs to really look into this problem. I will be calling Toyota on Monday 7/28/2014 to report my problem. Updated 4/8/2015
Car is stopped on a slight incline with the transmission in drive, A/C is on. Upon releasing brake before placing foot on gas the car will roll backwards. The engine RPM measured at dealer was 640 to 670. A request to increase idle RPM to 700/750 was denied. The answer was confirmed by dealer that RPM is not adjustable. My concern is the possibility of hitting the car behind me or hitting a pedestrian that is between me and the car behind me.
Engine has low (RPM) 650-670 when stopped with brake applied on slight incline when brake is released car rolls backward before gas can be applied. The car directly behind me if too close, can be hit by my car rolling backwards idle RPM should be increased too 750-800 to rectify this problem Toyota said they can not adjust the idle RPM.
