The vehicle has a shudder at accelerating that will prevent proper acceleration. I had a few incidents where I needed to get out of a traffic situation that out me in danger and the vehicle almost stalled. I read about this shudder, Toyota das a warranty engagement notification-ZE5. However it was for 8 years and under 150000 miles. I am well under 150000 but just over 8 years.
2014 Toyota Camry transmission complaints
Page 3 of 5: complaints 41 to 70 of 128, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The contact owns a 2014 Toyota Camry. The contact stated while driving approximately 55 MPH, the accelerator pedal was depressed with light pressure, and he heard an abnormal rumbling sound coming from under the floorboard. The contact stated that he felt a light vibration in his seat. The contact stated that he took his foot off the accelerator pedal and the vibration ceased. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact stated that the failure was intermittent and occurred mostly while driving at a steady speed and then lightly depressing the accelerator. The contact drove the vehicle to a local dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that there was a shudder in the torque converter, and that the torque converter needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact researched online and related the failure to Toyota Technical Service Bulletin 0312-17 (Torque Converter Flex Lock-up Shudder). The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 125,000.
The torque convert creates a shudder when under light load between 35- 50mph. Initially it was happen sporadically and when it was initially noticed it was always on the same stretch of road which prompt me to think it was the road surface. Only after about a year of this did it appear to happen more often and at different areas. With more attentive driving I narrowed down the speed and conditions. I have had my oil change at the dealership every time since getting the car with 6K miles. At my service 1/7/23 I asked a technician and he said it is a known issue on the torque converter. Toyota Warranty Enhancement program ZE5 is meant to replace for 8 years from first use or 150,000, whichever comes first. Toyota claims they reached out to each owner but in my case I was the second owner and was not notified. Toyota is refusing to honor the repair. My vehicle is had 137552 miles when I was informed of the recall but the issue had been going on for more than a year and had Toyota informed me of the condition at any service time the problem would have been addressed within their arbitrary 8 years. The vehicle is still within the 150,000 and I ask that the federal safety agency request that Toyota remove the "whichever come first of the eight years or up to 150,000 miles. They made no effort to inform me and I am concerned that I may loose power while driving or overtaking. Toyota quote $4000 for the repair. Other failing item is the sporadic failure of the BSM. It will light up the BSM on the dash. turn the system on and off a few times and it appear to reset but I am unsure if it is truly working. Front Passenger door actuator does not always lock or unlock. The car will flash the lights and appear locked but the passenger door is not locked. Risk of theft and not knowing if the manual lock holds- I believe a Class action lawsuit exist for the actuators
Torque Converter fail. Toyota is aware of 2014 Camry failure but doesn't want to help.
The contact owns a 2014 Toyota Camry. The contact stated while driving approximately 40 MPH, the vehicle started to vibrate and shudder. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact stated that the vibration had become constant, and the vehicle would shudder at various speeds. The contact was concerned that the failure was with the tires and had a tire dealer test drive the vehicle. The tire dealer advised the contact that the failure was caused by the transmission. The contact had taken the vehicle to a local dealer but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 83,000.
Shudders at low speed like countless others. Just waiting for it to die in the middle of a busy intersection.
Car shudders and low rates of speed. Same as everyone elses.. Software and torque converter. Someone needs to give in a recall this well known issue
The contact owns a 2014 Toyota Camry. The contact stated while driving approximately 30 MPH and accelerating to change lanes, the vehicle hesitated and the engine started shuddering. The contact stated that the failure had become constant. The contact stated that the TPMS warning light was illuminated. The contact had driven the vehicle to a local dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that the torque converter needed to be replaced. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 54,873.
Car has been vibrating anytime it goes above 40-45 mph. Mechanic recommended to change the cv axle which I did and I still have same problem. On highways it shakes so much that sometimes it feels like I may loose control of my steering wheel. There's a knocking sound while going on bumps and speed breakers. Check engine light came twice and it was reset by saying its false positive.
The contact owns a 2014 Toyota Camry. The contact stated while driving 35-40 MPH, the vehicle started shuddering. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact was able to continue driving; however, the failure reoccurred several times. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer where it diagnosed that the torque converter needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 149,000. The consumer stated the car does not downshift when the accelerator is lightly depressed at any speed to maintain that speed, even on cruise control.
On July 6, 2022 I was told by Walser Toyota in Bloomington, MN that they would not repair a known defective torque convertor part that was evidently under an extended warranty until March 21, 2022. The issue with the torque converter mimicked driving over a bumpy road until recently when it would stop my ability to accelerate while driving. In one incident it caused me to press the gas much harder than necessary in order to keep the car moving and nearly caused an accident. I was also pulled over and ticketed for speeding in a separate incident due to the unexpected acceleration caused by trying to overcome the effects of the defective part. I looked online and saw that thousands of other Toyota Camry owners between the years of 2012-2014 are experiencing the same unsafe driving as a result of thedefectivd torque convertor/transmission issue. However, Toyota failed to disclose this issue. They are stating they didn't feel it was necessary because it was not officially labeled a recall. I plan to seek assistance by any escalation means necessary. Toyota needs to be held responsible before any more people are injured or property is damaged.
Toyota issued a Customer Support Program for U760E Torque Converter / Shudder. (My paperwork from Valley-Hi Toyota for original CSP says campaign or recall inspection. I do not know if there was a formal RECALL). This Customer Support Program was extended multiple times. The last extension expired 1/27/22. We took our vehicle in for service / repair while this CSP (Customer Service Program) was still active when Toyota notified us. When we took our 2014 Camry in for service our car was not showing signs of "shudder'. Our 2014 Toyota Camry developed a "SHUDDER" related to the torque converter / transmission on or about 3/29/2022. We scheduled service with our local Toyota dealership 4/7/2022. We were told we were not covered for this $2,500 Defective Part repair as their CSP had expired 2 months ago. This is a SAFETY issue. Toyota recognizes the issue as they have already extended their CSP multiple times. I’m told this Shudder will continue to worsen where my car will be undriveable. Will this happen while I’m on a crowded freeway? Toyota was aware of this defective part yet chose NOT to go with a SAFETY recall. They went with a "Customer Support Program" to save cost over lives. SAFETY FIRST. We were NOT notified of subsequent extensions, or we would have taken our vehicle in for service checks. Toyota is choosing profit over safety. Case # 220406001119 / 220406000716
I have experienced issues with my vehicle when shifting since 2017 withal minor “shudder” after shifting into a higher gear. Now, my vehicle has begun to have trouble shifting from first gear to second. When shifting, the vehicle will abruptly stop before catching in second gear and continuing. It has become a concern as I am not confident to pull out onto busy roads.
We own a 2014 Toyota Camry with 88k miles on it. First my wife noticed a shuddering feeling at the speeds of 40-50 miles. She said it was very seldom, she was not worried, she thought it could the road surface making noise. A few weeks later, when I drove it to a shopping center, I noticed transmission shuddering and vibration in the car. A days later took it to the local Toyota service center, they run a diagnostics with an expensive $115 (even though it was obvious that it was a transmission problem). The service told me that it is the torque converter issues and said it is very common for 2012-2014 Toyota Camry. He mentioned that there has been an extended warranty for 8 years or 150k miles which every comes first. The service guy told me that my Camry passed the warranty about 2 months even though the mileage was about 88k, and they can't help with the cost. He suggested I should call Toyota Corp. office and open a case. I did it and explain the issue to Toyota Corp. guy. A few days later a Toyota rep called me and said he is sorry to say that he can't do anything, it is now my problem, I have to pay the repair bill (in the range of $2000) since the warranty passed only two months. Toyota is not covering this problem even though the problem is their fault since it is a mechanical/production problem, not related to a driver. Toyota only issued a technical bulletin for this problem, no recall at all. My Camry has only 88K miles on it and not covered it with the warranty. I find it not fair to penalize people who drives their cars at minimum and not have high mileage. If I have driven this car and put more miles, torque converter problems could have started earlier within the mileage limit. Toyota should recall all 2012-2014 Camry and fix the torque converters without any mileage limitations since it is their fault to put a defective transmission in their car.
Camry began to shudder under light acceleration 25-50mph and can be rather violent at times. Checked for a recall and noticed a service bulletin for a faulty torque converter but no recall. Contacted Toyota and they advised me that I was ONE MONTH past the extended service date which was out of my control as I had recently gotten it inspected and Toyota passed it without any issues. Given the fact that they passed it knowing it shudders and can have a transmission failure at any moment is a bad business practice and should be checked/reformed.
The contact owns a 2014 Toyota Camry. The contact stated while driving approximately 20 MPH, the vehicle started to shudder in first gear. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was towed to a local dealer where it was diagnosed with needing the torque convertor replaced however, the vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure and informed the contact that the vehicle was not included in a recall. The failure mileage was 144,857.
My 2014 Camry has a vibration when driving. I took it to local Toyota dealership. They advised that the torque converter is bad and needs replaced. This is $2474 repair. While researching I noticed the 2012 & 2013 Camry had a recall for a bad torque converter. My car has 94K miles which I'm told its unusual for the transmission to go bad. I believe that Toyota should include the 2014 model year in the existing recall.
The contact owns a 2014 Toyota Camry. The contact stated while driving at speeds exceeding 20 MPH, the vehicle would not properly accelerate while depressing the accelerator pedal. Occasionally, the vehicle would lose motive power. The cause of the failure was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer and local dealer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 52,000.
Bad transmission keep shaking and shuddering , speed between 20-45 MPH
Torque converter shudder. Toyota claims my VIN has no recall, but I have been experiencing a strong shudder under light acceleration at around 30-40 MPH. We were never informed of a recall on our vehicle.
When place car in park it rolls then stops.
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.
Torque convertor lockinging up while driving slow
I been having problems with the transmission torque converter for about 2 years with a check engine light on while driving between 25 mi and 55 mi ph, the wheels shake and hesitate to get control , any recalls on that?
When im doing a light acceleration from 20 to 50 MPH there is a shuddering vibration from the transmission that vibrates the car. I have to come off of the accelerator pedal and press harder just to stop the shudder and vibration. My airbag light is on and stays on constantly.
When I'm driving the car it when I pressing the gas it stops and gives a push the whole drive.
When I accelerate, hesitation and stalling occur. Feels as if the transmission is slipping. It interferes with my driving severely.
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!
The vehicle loses power at 20 MPH and shudders between 40 and 50 MPH under light and normal acceleration. During fast acceleration, this does not happen. The vehicle has 131,186 miles driven.
Car experiencing shuddering @ sppeds of 25 to 50 MPH. Toyota states recall was not for this specific model. Problem use to be intermittent now is continuous and the shuddering is harder than before. After having toyota check it multiple times they state it is the torque converter but they refuse to honor the warranty that applied to the car at the time.
