Automatic Transmission Torque Converter problems of the 2013 Toyota Camry

Toyota recalled my 2013 Toyota Camry for a torque converter that is causing a shudder in the car when driving between 5-50mph that they are claiming is expired. Big safety issue!!!.

The car stutters really bad at low speeds, I went to the dealership and they said I was outside of warranty by two weeks but it was the torque converter, I have been having this problem off and on for years but thought it was something small because it wouldn't last long, however for the past 3 months or so it has gotten progressively worse and does it every time, we thought we would have to pay for a diagnostics which is over $100 which is why we didn't take it sooner, however the day that we took it they said it was out of warranty by 2 weeks and when we called Toyota they would not take responsibility for it even though this is a known issue with my year make and model Toyota, just asking for help getting this hazardous and safety issue recalled.

Tl the contact owns a 2013 Toyota Camry. While driving approximately 20 mph, the vehicle shuttered without warning. The vehicle was taken to waldorf Toyota (301-843-3700, located at 2600 crain hwy, waldorf, MD 20601) to be repaired per an unknown recall regarding the torque converter; however, the technician stated that the recall repair had already been performed. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 138,000.

Torque converter not good in this car. Vehicle makes vibration between 40-50mph but if I let go off the accelerator it goes away instantly. Changed brakes changes cv axles. Transmission is the issue car is only 78k miles 2013 Camry le. I believe a recall might be needed? thanks.

My car shudders from 20-45 miles an hour have taken in to a car shop and they say it is the torque converter, or transmission in this car. My car is only 5 years old and should not be having these problems. After it gets up to 50 it starts to run smoothly. The vehicle is in motion. I see from complaints that a lot of people have had their torque converters replaced by the dealership.

I have had problems for the last year with the 2013 Toyota Camry. The car while driver starts sputtering electrical will go out. This occurs when the car gets to about 25 mph. I took it to the Toyota dealer who informed me there was a recall on the torque converter and that was replaced. I was told there was nothing wrong with the electrical. The car continued to perform in the capacity. I took the car back and was told there was another recall and the car was repaired. The car continued and I took the car to another mechanic. He informed me the transmission was gone. At no time did any lights come on the vehicle to make me aware of the issue. I took the car back to the dealer. The dealer confirmed what the previous mechanic stated. I contacted Toyota who offered 1,000 towards repairs. The repairs are over 6k. I still owe Toyota 15k for this car and they could not offer an explanation on why a transmission went out after 3 years.

This vehicle hesitates for 4 seconds when transmission switches gears. Car was taken back to dealer and after 2 software updates and a new torque converter they said the car couldnt be fixed. This car is dangerous and will most definitely cause an accident rear end collision.

When accelerating from a stop the vehicle will sometimes move about 10 feet and then hesitate for about 1 to 2 seconds. It will then accelerate normally. One time the vehicle accelerated to about 20 mph and then the engine rpm returned to idle. The accelerator was pushed to the floor and the rpm remained at idle. The accelerator was released and pushed down again. The vehicle accelerated normally. This happened only one time. The intermittent hesitation is very dangerous when trying to cross a busy intersection when the cross traffic is uncontrolled. The vehicle was taken to the dealership for the problem. The technician could not duplicate the condition. The u760e torque converter shudder recall upgrade was performed. This did not fix the problem. The service advisor said that the technician said that some transmission hesitation was normal. The service advisor also said there had been other complaints about this condition. There are also complaints on the online automobile forums. This condition is dangerous and not normal.

Hesitation occurs when accelerating across an intersection or pulling into traffic, usually from a stopped position. Car initially starts then hesitates & feels like it will shut off. To get across the intersection you need to "floor it" which makes the engine "roar" but little action for all the noise. This has happened numerous times in 2 yrs (estimated date & mileage for 1st occurrence). Sometimes there are long stretches between occurrences. It is dangerous & I lack confidence at times to pull out. The technician didn't experience the problem when mentioned on 2 stops at the deal for an oil change. Torque converter software update made no difference. My previous Camry never had this problem.
