2014 Toyota Camry

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 shudder - noticed transmission vibration at speeds from 25 to 30 mph and before 50 mph. Took the car to a shop for wheel alignment, vibration still felt. Took to a dealer , Hamer Toyota in Mission Hills, CA., and dealer said, it could be just the transmission oil, so I had the oil change done. Problem was the same. Took it for tire rotation and balance, but problem was the same. Called the Toyota Company and Toyota said, the extended warranty on the transmission expired in 2022. I said, it’s only 100,000 miles, but less than 150,000 miles — which was the maximum extended mileage warranty. Toyota insisted they could not do anything because 2022 came 1st and not the 150k miles. Took it to a transmission shop and after diagnosis, had it .rebuilt. Rebuilding partially solved the problem, a little improvement from before. Took it back for more checking until finally, after valve body assembly replacement, shudder is gone.

The contact stated that occasionally the vehicle almost stalled and was shuddering abnormally before shifting into the next gear. There was also an abnormal grinding sound coming from underneath the vehicle. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The dealer stated that at a minimum, the torque converter needed to be replaced and the TCM needed to be reprogrammed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 124,000.

There is a transmission shudder when traveling around 30-40 MPH as well as sporadically when increasing speed. Recently, there is a very hard shift/jolt when transmission is shifting from 2nd to 3rd. The issue is caused by a combination of a faulty torque converter and a software glitch in the engine control module (ECM). This is a safety hazard, and I contacted Toyota dealership in Vineland who told me that they can't do anything. However, to fix the problem that Toyota issued the recall themselves, Toyota dealers need to replace to the torque converter and update the ECM software. I am reaching out to the NHTSA because this is a safety hazard, and I hope you are able to help me.

The vehicle has an issue with the radio the steering wheel controls do not work the touch screen does not work the buttons around the radio does not work there is also an issue with the transmission between 20 mph and 25 mph in extreme shutter happens that cuts off goes away there is no transmission light lit there is no check engine light lit I am completely at a loss to figuring out the repair I do not want to spend thousands and thousands of dollars to have it repaired with a mechanic shop I have noticed that with the 2014 Toyota Camry 95% of the vehicles all have the same issue transmission shutter and the electrical issue with the radio this is a very extremely common issue and I wish they would have it recalled and repaired because Toyota Camry 2014 is a very good reliable vehicle only it has issues and it has issues with a lot of the exact same vehicle I have read forum after forum in regards to the radio I cannot repair it I had tried to replace the entire unit and the unit that I had replaced it with is doing the exact same thing I am terrified to open the transmission because nine times out of 10 I will not figure out the issue I could pay thousands and thousands of dollars to have the transmission replaced or repaired but I don't feel like it should be the owners issue or responsibility to repair the vehicle when 90% of the vehicles out here have the exact same issues due to manufacturer issue really hoping they recall this it will give Toyota a better look I have also noticed that no matter how many times I reset the tire pressure sensor monitor and ensure that all tires have the correct amount of air that the tire light will not go off and will not go away these issues have been around for a very long time since I've had the vehicle and no matter the amount of time and amount of money I spend putting into the vehicle for parts the issues will not go away
