The car shrudder at 20 miles an hour. I was reading there was a recall for this problem. However I never recieve one. I brought my car brand new 2012 and took it to the dealership for service faithfully since I had it. The dearlship is aware of all recall. The torque converter and softwware problems should have taken care by the service dept. They want to change my transmossion the dealer should eat the cost. 2012 Toyota Camry they told me they are not going to change of fixed the torque converter. I also saw Toyota extended the warranty on this issue to 150,000 miles and my car as 84,000. 00 miles.

The car shudders when shifting gears , this is due to the torque converter. Toyota knows about this issue . I called and they said the recall was sent to the previous owner but they didn't get it fixed. Toyota needs to recall all of these 2012 thru 2014 Camrys and fix these cars when people call.

Torque converter part and faulty software cause transmission shift and acceleration/deceleration delay, which may result in accidents.

2012 Camry le purchased new. Now 67k miles. Recently started to have symptom of transmission shudder due to a defective torque converter. Called dealership and corporate and was only told my vehicle warranty enhancement just expired and no coverage for replacement. This should be a recall not no service bulletin. This might be my last Toyota.

Internal torque converter failure shuddering in 2nd gear. This is a recall for my 2012 Toyota Camry se which a Toyota repersentative told me that the recall expired on the 11th of January 2021. . . My vehicle stopped and vibrated and unable to move which would have caused an accident. After the light shows green.

I have my car at the Toyota of manhattan dealership they tell me that the torque converter is locking up they charging me $3,000 I do not have the money.

Toyota diagnosed torque converter needs to be replaced. There's a recall on torque converter for 2012, 2013, & 2014 of my make & model however they do not include my VIN in this recall. I'm requesting it should be included in the recall because it falls under my year, make & model.

As I am pulling off, the car hesitates when I get to about 20 mph. Toyota told me it is the torque converter but there isn't a recall for it. I was told that there was something in place to have it fixed but that it had expired in October 2020. I did not start having issue until the end of November 2020 and never received any type of letter or notice that this would be an issue I needed to get taken care of by October 2020. I don't have $1900. 00+ just laying around. We are in the middle of a pandemic at that. I need this taken care especially since this is beyond my control and Toyota knows about this issue.

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.

Torque convertor lockinging up while driving slow.

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!!!.

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.

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.

When accelerating at around 25 mph, the vehicle "shudders" (feels like it is going over rumble strips) and lasts about 3 seconds. Happens anywhere between 25 - 40 mph. Mechanic said its a faulty torque convertor. Mechanic informed me that there was an "enhanced warranty" that was extended for Camry's 2012-2014 and I should visit the dealership. I sent car to Toyota of turnersville, NJ dealership for fix, and they informed me that the warranty enhancement does not involve my VIN #. Even though its the year and the issue is happening. I opened a case with Toyota headquarters and they closed the case, stating there is nothing they can assist with further. I feel as though this problem originated in 2012, and Toyota was still putting bad torque converters into them in 2014, 2 years later and then stating because my vehicle is not affected by the VIN, there is nothing they can do for me? I bought this car in 2016, now knowing that it came with an issue identified years earlier by the maker. If this problem was potentially serious enough to a widespread issue that they extended the coverage for 8 years, 150,000 miles, they should be willing to cover anyone with a Camry for those 2 years, not just dependent upon a VIN #. It should be dependent upon the issue happening with the car, instead of trying to charge innocent folks $3000 for a fix that they caused!.

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. The lag and potential motor mount breaks are a danger while driving this vehicle. Toyota should be forced to make this right as I have almost been rear ended numerous times due to the lag on this car.

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.
