Faulty torque converter, shudders at 20-40 mph. Sluggish on gear changes from 3 to 4, Toyota has a warrenty extension for 5/20 or 150000 miles whichever comes first. This car didn't fault until 9/20 and 87,000, well under mileage, but Toyota is in willing to stand by and repair this faulty part.

Torque converter, (upon acceleration vehicle delay in accelerating/shifting and abnormal heavy vibration/shuddering felt ), I almost had an accident while trying to change lane a few times, due to the fact that the vehicle does not accelerate/shifting correctly/delayed,(my wife and kids were in the vehicle), took the vehcile to Toyota dealer, service advisor told me that the tech could not duplicate concern, when clearly there is a problem, did some reading/research online alot of customer experience the same thing Toyota turning a blind eye when it come to this specific concern ( torque converter shuddering) they giving customer the running around,no warning lamp on when problem occur.

Car starts to shutter and acceleration decreased between 15-45 mph, the shudder causes the car to lag at this time. We began taking the car to the dealership at 30,000 miles for the issue. We were told that they did not see a problem at the dealership. There was a service order to cars software but that still did not fix the issue. We later found out that problem was the torque converter but instead of recalling this Toyota issued a service order, but no notice ever came and the dealer never mentioned when car was took in for regular maintenance. Toyota said that there was nothing they could do about the car and that it would cost about $4000 to replace the transmission. For this car, complaints from numerous customer show that half of the transmissions have needed replaced even after the torque converter was replaced. Toyota has had to recall other vehicles due to this exact same problem but still have not recalled the 2012-2014 Camry.

Toyota should be forced to make this right as I have almost been rear ended numerous times due to the lag on this car.

My 2012 Camry se 4 cylinder has an issue with its torque converter. My car shudders and has a delay when shifting from 2nd to 3rd. This has been well documented and is known by Toyota. I had my car diagnosed and quoted by Toyota for this issue 17 months ago. I could not afford the $3000 quote at that time. I found out last week that there was an extended warranty for this issue! I call Toyota only to find out that I was 2 months outside of my warranty. I told them I had the car diagnosed and quoted well before the warranty date, but was not informed of the warranty or prevalent issue with this years torque converter. If I had known this I would have had them replace this for free, but I was not informed at that time. I have since contacted Toyota corporate and they have confirmed the issue, but they stated even though it was diagnosed within the warranty time frame and the dealership failed to let me know this was covered, they would do nothing for me. I am very upset this is happening, and very upset that this know issue you see over 50 complaints about on this site, is only remedied with an extended warranty and not a recall. I am being wronged by Toyota and no one will help me, or all of us 2012 Camry owners who where effected by this issue!.

While driving on any road between 20 and 40 mph, 3rd and 4th speed, the transmission shudders and while pressing the gas, the vehicle hesitates. Sometimes it is somewhat clear to accelerate, other times it feels like you are fighting a wall that will not move. I believe from what I have read that it has to do with the ecu and a possible faulty torque converter. This should be looked into by the NHTSA proactively, and not left to the individual consumer to see if the issue resolves itself. If the car fails in moving traffic, someone could hit me from behind. At this time, I am having to go from 2nd speed to 4th speed by 40 mph to go around 3rd gear altogether. This is not the way the car should operate. Vehicle is in motion when this happens on any road at any time.

Torque converter is faulty. There was a recall for this on my 2012 Toyota Camry that I was unaware of. The recall was acknowledged by Toyota and only covered 5 years 60,000 miles. I never received anything in writing about this recall and there are many consumers complaints regarding this online. I cannot afford a new vehicle and need this repaired by Toyota.

I thought that buying a Toyota Camry was the right thing to do. Its supposed to be the highest quality. Well I just found out that my torque converter needs to be replaced. Good news/bad news - Toyota has extended the factory warranty on the torque converter, but, only for under 150,000 miles. I have 155,000 miles on my Camry xle. So I called Toyota and wanted to work something out with them. They were nice but in the end they were unwilling to work anything out. Long story short I need to spend $2500 if I want to fix the torque converter. As far as I'm concerned the car is now junk!.

Instead of recalling this Toyota issued a service order, but no notice ever came and the dealer never mentioned when car was took in for regular maintenance. The extended warranty was up same month I received the car from my mother in law who is the original owner and took very good care of the car. I called Toyota who informed me there was nothing they could do to help me since the extended drive train warranty had just expired. I have read that half of the transmissions have needed replaced even after the torque converter was replaced. Toyota has had to recall other vehicles due to this exact same problem so why have they not recalled 2012-2014 Camry? the estimates to fix cost almost as much as the car is worth. The lag and potential motor mount breaks are a danger while driving this vehicle. Toyota should be forced to make this right to their many consumers as not many people have thousands of dollars laying around to fix the problem if they survive being rear ended due to the lag and other potential safety issues this may cause. How many complaints are needed to make Toyota fix this with us Camry owners? there is information on cars. Com about the service order that had been issued.

Vehicle exhibits extreme delay in acceleration, particularly at highway speeds. Gas can be to the floor and there is little to no response for at least one minute, not even a jump in rpm aaa a result of the increased throttle. Trying to merge on to the highway is dangerous when the vehicle remains stuck at 40mph for at least one minute, if not longer. Even once the vehicle has been brought up to speed, trying to change lanes or pass is near impossible as there is little to no response to engaging the throttle. This is dangerous and could easily result in an accident. . I have seen thousands of complaints regarding this issue. Transmission has a generally delayed response, vehicle rolls backwards when transitioning from brake to gas, even on flat ground. This is yet another hazard seemingly brought on by the automatic transmission. Vehicle was part of the torque converter recall. The recall repair was performed and it didn't make any difference for the vehicle. The transmission feels like it is on the verge of failing despite the vehicle still being �young� and well-cared for. It has always been serviced by a dealership that claims this is normal. The amount of hesitation in the transmission is not and can not be normal. The car drives like its half asleep. It has been getting worse recently and I fear the transmission is going to fail, or the vehicle malfunction is going to result in an accident.

Transmission failure. Transmission was experiencing torque converter shudder. Dealer replaced original torque converter at ~106,000 miles under warranty enhancement. After replacement the transmission developed a vibration between 30-40 mph. Took car back to servicing dealer (hoselton Toyota in east rochester, NY) and was told transmission had failed and that replacement was not covered by the warranty enhancement. Dealer has made the claim that the failure is not related to the torque converter replacement or torque converter shudder. They are claiming a faulty transmission cooler is to blame for the failure. Time elapsed between original warranty repair and diagnosis of out-of-warranty transmission failure was less than 3 months. At time or original repair the dealer did not diagnose any other faulty components and did not make recommendations for replacement of any transmission or related components.

As I begin accelerating the car shudders and does not respond. Seeing many complaints with the same exact problem. The hesitant acceleration has almost caused me to get t boned & rear ended multiple times.

Torque converter problem causing the car to shudder at lower speeds. Feels like I've just run over road strips. It happens on all kinds of road surface, smooth and not so smooth.

Around 40-45 mph the vehicle starts to stutter/shake when changing gears. I look online and these cars have problem with the torque converter and Toyota would not fix it because they said its not a recall. I took it to the dealership but the technician said that he cannot feel in and neither does his supervisor. I feel the stutter/ shake everyday when I drive the car.

I was just at a stoplight. I was the first car. When I went to accelerate the car did not pick up speed for at least a full minute. I was afraid someone driving behind me would run into my car or start honking because I was driving so slow. It happened at the stop light prior too, but it wasn't as noticeable because I ran into another stop light almost immediately. I called Toyota and was advised to take the car to a certified Toyota dealer after I read a report on cars. Com that said the problem might be due to a combination of an engine control module software glitch and a faulty torque converter. I later read that the brake pedal may need adjusting because the gas pedal thinks the brake pedal is on.
