If it is excessive? You might be able to have the car looked at by your car dealer. Most newer cars have an electronic throttle and have a certain delay. The new automatic transmissions also exaserbate the situation. Driving it for a week or two , you will get used to it and know how to pull away from a stop.

File a complaint with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. They have a website. Hope that helps! Jim

I have a 2020 Camry SE and since I've had it I have had two main issues. When I get to a steady speed my car acts like it is "out of gear" and jerks. The second is when I start from a stop and push the peddle down like normal the car doesn't respond equal to the pedal. I have to push the pedal to the floor and then it lags for a few seconds then goes into full throttle. I have jokingly said its the all or nothing Camry. Its dangerous and I have pulled out in front of cars with plenty of room to just sit in an intersection as cars barrel down on me just sitting there. I have asked the dealership what is the issue and the only thing they have said is the car is working "as designed." I have filed a complaint with Corp Toyota and it sits at the dealership and they say all seems to be ok. I'm in a 2020 Camry SE rental and it drives perfectly! The service advisor said its a common issue and I should buy a pedal commander to correct the programming issue! Unacceptable! I told them to keep my car until its fixed. We shall see what happens.
