Automatic Transmission Torque Converter problems of the 2015 Toyota Camry

The contact owns a 2015 Toyota Camry. The contact stated while driving 20-30 mph and depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle started shuddering and there was a 20-30 seconds lag in acceleration, which required the contact to release and to depress the accelerator pedal until the vehicle responded as needed. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the torque converter had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the NHTSA hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 110,000.

The vehicle is exhibiting a torque converter shudder between 20-50 mph, same symptoms as the 2012-2014 Camry recall.

When driving the car and accelerating, notice a slight shudder. When the torque converter is locked, the shutter goes away. It does this when accelerating frequently. When I fell the shudder, if I increase acceleration, the shudder stops. I suspect the problem is with the torque converter.

Purchased a used 2015 Camry se shortly after purchasing the vehicle the drivability has been becoming a escalating concern. While accelerating when the car will shudder between 1000 & 2000 rpm mostly between 25-45 mph. Have tried the relearn process 3x then when that has proven not to work (shudder starts to happen minutes after relearn). Took the vehicle in to the dealership for a diagnosis which cost $160. Diagnosed with a bad torque converter. Repair estimates $2450. 46. Major safety concerns because of the loss of power while driving and the erratic shifting of gears.

I previously made a complaint about my 2015 Toyota Camry. I attached a copy of my complaint to this complaint. I am now experiencing loss of power while I drive from the torque converter shudder issue I am having. Car is shaking rather than a vibration now between speed of 40mph to 50mph. This is unsafe.

The car has 32k miles on it. When the speed reaches around 32 there's a shudder/vibration which is accompanied by rpm drop before shifting to next gear. When trying to maintain the speed around 42/43 (inner roads), 62/65 (freeways) torque convertor locks up accompanied by lower rpm and the shudder/vibration begins which is clearly felt on gas pedals, steering wheels and doors and feel like driving on bumpy road, the only way to get out of the vibration is to either give more power/acceleration so that it releases lock up and shifts gears (or) just release the gas pedal so that it slows down and comes out of lock-up. When vibration happens, giving power/pressing accelerator will increase the vibration with no increase in speed until it shifts to other gears, checked with a couple of dealers to get an opinion but the answer I am getting is there is no code in the health check and they cannot do anything without any code or check engine light. One technician admitted that its torque convertor lockup vibration. They will not diagnose or perform any other operations without any code or its completely broken. Torque converter replacement will cost around 3k based on dealer info. Based on Toyota's internet forums and other complaints in this seems to be a common problem with torque convertor and Toyota should come forward to replace it or fix it similar to their 2014/2014. 5 models, which are supposed to be fixed with the 2015 models. Thanks�.

My car started a having a vibration/shudder while being driven on the street and freeway from speeds of 25mph to 50mph. This happens every time while driving straight and on turns . I thought maybe it was the transmission but after I looked online to see if anyone else has had this issue I learned there are a lot of people with the same problem. I have the same exact symptoms as they do. Its seems to be the torque converter. I looked up the history of this torque problem and it goes back as far as 2011 for Toyota Camry. I need this fix by Toyota and Toyota should honor given that the issue was not fix from the previous year model.

2015 Camry has experienced exactly the same torque converter shudder issues described in the 2012-2014 models that were covered under a recall. This year is not covered because Toyota has said they fixed the issue on this year. Started out with shudder around 25-30mph, now it's also happening around 35-45mph, vehicle will also rev out in gear giving no acceleration. Now this car is barely even drivable. The transmission is shifting up to the highest gears even when speed is very low, as though you were driving a manual transmission vehicle at 15mph in fifth gear. The only temporary solutions that helped and now no longer will, were punching the throttle during a shudder to downshift, or downshifting in the manual mode. Unhooking the battery to drain the system power to put the vehicle back into learning mode, which helped for several hours until the vehicle went right back to the same issues. Currently the vehicle limps around with any type of driving, shifts to gears that are too high for the appropriate speed with dangerously sluggish acceleration or none at all, and shudders in two speed ranges.

When I accelerate to about 40 mph there is shudder and rough ride like running over rough road. The car has 79,500 miles on it. The Toyota dealer says the problem is the torque converter. I have seen other reports of the problem on the internet. One person indicated it might need a software update but that is the only report like that I have seen. The dealer, team Toyota of princeton says it will be a $2,880 repair. Based on additional internet reports this seems to be a common problem.

2012-2014 model year Camry vehicles software update for u760e torque converter shudder Toyota had updated software for torque converter shudder for year from 2012-2014 but I own 2015 Camry and I have same problem with my Camry year 2015 car is shakey and Toyota dealer refused to update software for year 2015 unless pay them $250. 00 and due to reason effected transmission on 2 to 3 gear shift it hesitate at speed below 20 mph takes brief 4 to 5 seconds to shift gear. Toyota should owner recall on Camrys after year 2014 as well.

When I accelerate 40 mph or higher, my car gives me a sudden shudder in the vehicle. It feels like running over a rough spot in the road or like a rumble before you reach a toll booth. As quickly as it appears, it is gone, until the next time it appears. My car has about 95,000 miles on it currently and I have taken to several shops and they all say that, torque converter is making that shudder which is related to transmission and might cost me around $2000 to fix. If anyone face the same issue, please make a report so that NHTSA can look into it.

2015 Toyota Camry se the vehicle shudders when l accelerate between 20-25 mph and 40-50mph. Lt appears quickly and go away when you accelerate over stated mph. My has about 95,000 miles on it. Have took the car to several shops, was told its the torque converter. There was software update and recall on 12-14 Camry on this same issue, thought Toyota would have fix this issue before the rolled out 2015s. Toyota needs a software update and recall on the 2015 Camry for anyone having this issues.

Torque converter shudders around 40-45 mph it gets worse and I have to let off the gas or speed up for it to stop, not safe in heavy traffic!! brake type squeak that will not stop even after new rotors and brake pads.
