The torque converter is malfunctioning. This malfunction can damage the entire transmission by releasing metal debris into the transmission system due to severe shuddering. If the torque converter fails while driving, I could lose acceleration power and potentially lose power steering assist and brake assist if the engine stalls, making the vehicle significantly harder to control. This creates a serious safety risk, especially at highway speeds where a sudden loss of power could increase the risk of a collision. The torque converter was previously subject to a recall, but the recall has since expired. The issue has been reproduced and documented by an independent service provider. Although no warning lights appear on the dashboard, the vehicle consistently shows symptoms associated with torque converter failure, including: * Intense shuddering * Loss of power during acceleration * Transmission slipping These symptoms indicate an ongoing and potentially dangerous drivetrain failure that poses a risk to driver and public safety.

Transmission slipping by model year
What owners say
The contact owns a 2014 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the transmission was slipping, causing the vehicle to jerk or shudder until shifting into the intended gear. There was no warning light illuminated. The local dealer was contacted; however, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact was informed that the VIN was not under recall. The contact referenced Technical Service Bulletin: SB-0034-14 as a possible cause for the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 147,600.
The torque converter in the transmission fails to catch the clutch when I am driving at high or low speeds both in residential and on highway lanes. I can be driving 10 mph or 65 mph and the car will vibrate causing the car to slow, shake and shutter. In serious cases, the torque converter will slip out of gear or wont allow you to shift into a certain gear leaving you stuck and stranded on the road or highway if you don't make it to the side of the road/highway fast enough. This is a serious safety issue. The toyota dealership has recognized this issue and said that I will have to come out of pocket myself since I have missed the campaign warranty period. (someone previously owned the car) we have had the car for year and just noticed the shuttering and shaking last year. We just paid the car off last year. We are heartbroken and frustrated.
When I accelerate, hesitation and stalling occur. Feels as if the transmission is slipping. It interferes with my driving severely.
At about 45mph there is a slipping or shuttering of what seems like the transmission. I thought it was a tire problem. Had checked. Tires are fine.
During acceleration between 30 - 50 MPH, the vehicles transmission appears to slip and not engage the gear. After a second or two the vehicle engages the gear and continues on as if nothing occurred.
