Intermittent EPS warning light illuminates during highway driving with steering wheel lock-up subsequently followed by a reset of certain electrically powered items associated with but not necessarily limited to the following systems: 1. Stability Control System warning indication 2. TPMS light 3. Radio power cycles 4. Check engine light. After turning the car off and then back on again these issues clear initially, but will intermittently happen at random durations of time anywhere from an additional 1 to 3 hours of driving. I've been discussing with Toyota Customer Service, who has known issues with the 2015 Toyota Camry under the federal safety agency Campaign ID: 15V144000, but they are trying to tell me that it only applies to V6 and Hybrid 2015 Camry's. I feel that this is also applicable to my vehicle VIN: [XXX] . I feel Toyota is refusing to acknowledge this critical safety issue affecting more 2015 Toyota Camry vehicles. I've never had an issue like this with 5 other previously owned vehicles. When asked if I could pay for the fix myself they informed me that it is not possible without a recall! My Toyota dealer is refusing to fix the issue and Toyota Customer Service hasn't responded in over 3 weeks to my inquiry.

I had no problems with my 2015 Toyota Camry SE that does not even have 90,000 miles on it, and then I started experiencing a shutter when driving between 25 and 50mph. It feels like you are driving over rumble sticks in the roadway, or an abnormal shaking. There is no warning light illuminated on my dashboard ex: engine light. If I take my foot of the accelerator pedal the shutter/shaking would stop or if I pushed on the accelerator to go faster, it will come out of the shutter/shaking also. While I was getting an oil change at the Toyota dealership, I spoke with the Toyota customer service representative about the closed recall (T-SB-0312-17) for this issue on 2012-2014 Toyota Camry's while doing research on this issue and I was told that Toyota has no plans on doing another recall because they have fixed the problem and I would have to have the car fixed myself which could cost upwards of $3,000.00 out of pocket. Why should a customer have to pay hundreds of dollars to have their car diagnosed for a known problem based on internet forums and other Toyota complaints. The engine light is not on, so a code may not even show up. I cannot afford to pay that, and Toyota should stand by their vehicles, stop giving customers the run around and do another recall as this is a big safety issue of faulty parts which can cause a major accident if the car loses power and stalls.

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
