2024

  • Hesitant or harsh shifts in the 8-speed All years

    What to check: On a test drive from cold, pull away gently and firmly and drive in stop-and-go traffic, feeling for hesitation, lurches or harsh shifts. Shift from R to D and see that it engages without a delay, and look for a check-engine light.

    Toyota bulletin T-SB-0122-20 covers 2018 Camrys with the 8-speed that, after a delay engaging from R to D, show a lock-up concern and a check-engine light with codes P07407E or P27567F; the fix is new engine computer software. Bulletin T-SB-0010-18 warns that a mismatch of gearbox and software can cause harsh shifts or flare. In one CarGurus thread, an unofficial source, eight owners of 2018 and later Camrys report hesitation, lag, jerking or harsh shifts, and none says a software update cured it.
