2014 Toyota Camry

MY CAR ONCE I GET TO 20-25 MPH IT STARTS TO JERK BADLY AND THEN IT STOPS. THEN IT JERKS MORE ONCE I GET BETWEEN 45-55 MPH IT'S BEEN GOING ON FOR QUITE SOMETIME NOW. I CONTACTED TOYOTA AND THEY SAID IT'S THE TRANSMISSION SHUDDER. I ASKED ABOUT THE RECALL AS I FOUND IT ONLINE AND I WAS TOLD IF MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY I WOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. I CAN'T PAY THIS $1600 AND STILL PAY MY CAR NOTE I'M ON DISABILITY AT THE MOMENT DUE TO A TRANSPLANT. I THINK THIS IS VERY UNFAIR. I ALSO DON'T WANT ANYONE TO RUN INTO ME ON THE ROAD I'M SCARED EVERYTIME I PULL OFF IN TRAFFIC THAT THE CAR WON'T SWITCH GEARS PROPERLY AND SOMEONE MAY HIT ME FROM BEHIND WITH MY KIDS IN THE VEHICLE. PLEASE HELP

WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP THE VEHICLE WILL SOMETIMES MOVE ABOUT 10 FEET AND THEN HESITATE FOR ABOUT 1 TO 2 SECONDS. IT WILL THEN ACCELERATE NORMALLY. ONE TIME THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED TO ABOUT 20 MPH AND THEN THE ENGINE RPM RETURNED TO IDLE. THE ACCELERATOR WAS PUSHED TO THE FLOOR AND THE RPM REMAINED AT IDLE. THE ACCELERATOR WAS RELEASED AND PUSHED DOWN AGAIN. THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED NORMALLY. THIS HAPPENED ONLY ONE TIME. THE INTERMITTENT HESITATION IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN TRYING TO CROSS A BUSY INTERSECTION WHEN THE CROSS TRAFFIC IS UNCONTROLLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE PROBLEM. THE TECHNICIAN COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE CONDITION. THE U760E TORQUE CONVERTER SHUDDER RECALL UPGRADE WAS PERFORMED. THIS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THE SERVICE ADVISOR SAID THAT THE TECHNICIAN SAID THAT SOME TRANSMISSION HESITATION WAS NORMAL. THE SERVICE ADVISOR ALSO SAID THERE HAD BEEN OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS CONDITION. THIS CONDITION IS DANGEROUS AND NOT NORMAL.

INTERMITTENT SHUDDER : I EXPERIENCED SHUDDERING IN MY VEHICLE DURING 25--50 MPH SPEED AND SHUDDERING IS HEAVY WHEN I DRIVE UPHILL ROADS AND IN SNOW. WHEN HAPPENS I FELT VIBRATION ON THE GAS PEDAL AND SLIGHT VIBRATION ON STEERING WHEELS AND CAR WILL NOT MOVE UNDER NORMAL GAS PEDAL PRESS. I TOOK TO THE DEALER UNDER TOYOTA WARRANTY THEY REPLACED TORQUE CONVERTER AND ADDED COUPLE OF PAN MAGNETS TO COLLECT DEBRIS FROM TRANSMISSION , BUT THE PROBLEM STILL EXIST. I INFORMED TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE SINCE THEN I WENT TO THE DEALER FOUR MORE TIMES FOR THE ISSUE BUT THEY COULD NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD PRESS GAS PEDAL HARDER WHEN SHUDDERING OCCURS , BUT THAT WILL LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT AND PUT THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER HARMS WAY. DURING SNOW THE POSSIBILITY OF ACCIDENT WILL BE MUCH HIGHER I HAVE TO PRESS THE GAS PEDAL HARDER AND THAT WILL LEAD TO AN SPINOFF AND ACCIDENTS. FINALLY I WAS TOLD BY TOYOTA THE ISSUE IS NOT TORQUE CONVERTER AND I HAVE TO DRIVE THE WAY IT IS. I DO NOT AGREE WITH THEM AND I WANT TOYOTA TO RECALL AND FIX THIS SHUDDERING ISSUE BEFORE PUT SOMEONE'S LIFE IN DANGER.

CAR FEELS VERY SLUGGISH LIKE SOMEBODY IS BREAKING ALL THE TIME WHEN ACCELERATING IT DOES NOT SHIFT GEARS CORRECTLY. AND FEELS LIKE IT IS GOING TO STALL AT TIMES. I TOLD THEM SINCE THE DAY I GOT THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW OFF THE LOT THAT I FELT THIS I ONLY KNOW WHAT THIS FEELS LIKE DUE TO AN ISSUE I HAD MY LAST CAR WHICH WAS A NISSAN ARMADA PATHFINDER 2004.

I STARTED NOTICING THE PROBLEM A COUPLE MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE, IT HESITATES AND SHAKES HARD UPON ACCELERATION. THE CAR WAS RECALLED FOR TORQUE INVERTER REPAIR. THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTED. TOOK BACK TO THE DEALER TWO MORE TIMES, BUT THEY INSISTED THAT THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE MY CONCERN. THE CAR SHAKES HARD WHEN DRIVING AT 20-30 M/H AND MOST OF THE TIME AT 40-50 M/H. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE ON THE HWY AS IT DOESN'TACCELERATE FAST ENOUGH TO KEEP UP WITH THE SPEED LIMIT. THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. *TR

FIRST TIME I HAD A PROBLEM WAS MAY 24, 2015. SINCE THEN IT HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE CAR HESITATES WHEN ACCELERATING. IT HAPPENS RANDOMLY; BUT HAVE NOTICED SINCE IT HAS GOTTEN HOTTER, IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING ALMOST EVERY DAY. IT HAPPENS WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE TO GET ON THE FREEWAY, OR AFTER STOPPING AND ACCELERATING. IT DOESN'T WANT TO GO WHEN I STEP ON THE GAS. IT HESITATES AND IT IS A LITTLE FRIGHTENING. IT WAS RECALLED BY THE DEALER ONE TIME, BUT WHATEVER THEY DID, IT DIDN'T FIX THIS PROBLEM. THE CAR ONLY HAS 15,000 MILES. I AM CONCERNED THAT AS IT GETS OLDER, THE PROBLEM MAY GET WORSE. I HAD A 2005 CAMRY FOR 9 YEARS AND NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM. I HAD READ THAT NUMEROUS OTHER CAMRY OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. TOYOTA NEEDS TO LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM AS IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN--ESPECIALLY WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY OR DRIVING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION. I'VE ALWAYS LOVED MY CAMRY AND IT DISAPPOINTS ME TO HAVE THIS ACCELERATING PROBLEM. IT IS A DANGER TO ME AND OTHER DRIVERS. THIS HAPPENS BOTH AFTER BEING STOPPED AT A LIGHT AND ALSO WHEN DRIVING ABOUT 40 MPH ON A CITY STREET OR HIGHWAY AND FREEWAY.
