2014 Toyota Camry

I have had a vibration at different points of speed that would stop when you let off the gas or accelerate more. It doesn't do it beyond 60mph. I've had my vehicle in the dealership twice. 1st they told me my rear brakes were siezed to the rotors. I changed brakes, rotors, and shims on all wheels. Still didn't resolve the issue. Went into the dealership a 2nd time. They told me it was the right rear wheel bearing. I replaced that and still didn't resolve the issue. If Toyota can't figure out what is wrong with it, then who would? I can't afford to keep paying for a wrong diagnoses. I feel like my car will break down or even get into an accident because of this. There are no warning lights triggered when the vibrations happen. Please help me.

The contact owns a 2014 Toyota Camry. The contact stated while driving 20 MPH, the vehicle was shuddering and shaking. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed that the torque converter clutch was faulty, and the software needed to be updated. There was a shudder at 35 MPH, and the transmission pan gasket was replaced, and the memory was reset. The manufacturer was contacted but no assistance was provided. The contact stated that the failure was related to the Warranty Enhancement Program: ZE5 Certain 2012-2014 Camry Extension of Warranty Coverage for U760E. The failure mileage was approximately 171,172.

No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed a failure with the transmission. The vehicle was not repaired due to the parts being discontinued. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was 89,000.

I bought this car 2 weeks ago and now I'm learning of this Torque Converter problem. The used car dealership claimed that the car did not have any mechanical issues and upon test driving the issue wasn't apparent. However, no sooner than driving off the lot I notice the shutter. All of these dealerships kick the can down the road and does not fix this issue. There should be a recall on these models 2012 - 2014 to fix this issue as it is very expensive for the average driver. Toyota knew about this issue from 2012 and did not fix the problem. They will only fix it when they are forced.

There is a steering damper that is used in the electric steering box on many Toyota models. The damper breaks down and the vehicles develop a clunk from the steering column. I don't find any recall for this problem. Toyota cannot tell me if there is a safety issue when the damper breaks down or if it is merely an annoyance from the clunking noise. There are many YouTube videos showing the replacement of the damper. Since these steering dampers commonly fail, it seems important to know if there is a safety issue.

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.

I own a 2014 Toyota Camry there is a known issue with the 2012-2014 Toyota Camry models for the torque converters failing. In December of 2023 I noticed my vehicle not changing gears as smoothly as it normally does so I took my vehicle to my local Toyota dealership and was told that I needed by torque converter replaced and it would be $2800. Upon my research I found out that this is a known issue for this make and model and Toyota had a warranty enhancement program for this to be fixed but it ended in 2022. I was never informed of this program and if this is a known issues and they can verify that I haven't had this repaired before then my vehicle should be fixed at the expense of Toyota. I paid the $2800 because I was told not replacing it could cause transmission problems down the road. I called Toyota and sent them proof of ownership, proof of payment for the repair and they refuse to reimburse me in any way. Can someone please look into this for me?

Certain toyota models between 2012-2014 had a defective software and torque converter which if left alone, will end up ruining your transmission. Toyota decided to extend the warranty to 150k miles or 8 years, whichever comes first to fix this issue instead of actually recalling every affected car and performing the software update + torque converter replacement. Dealers were instructed to only perform the fix to cars that were already exhibiting symptoms. This is problematic in my case because even though my car is only at 110k miles, the 8 hear period expired last year and I just started having issues with the powertrain. I would have been able to notice these issues earlier if we didn't have covid for the past 3 years, which changed my daily routine from being a constant commuter to working from home so less miles were put on my car. Now I'm stuck, as well as many others, with a 7k bill to fix a torque converter and transmission all because toyota did not care about their customers. This is also a safety issue as your transmission would just continue to get worse and possibly break entirely while driving

Starting in 2023, around 80,000 miles, my 2014 Toyota Camry Hybrid has started pulling to either side under braking. I replaced the pads & rotors at my local Toyota dealer in September and it actually made the problem worse. November 22 of this year, the master technician at my dealership found multiple lower suspension bolts loose. They re-torqued everything to spec and the issue has not been resolved. I have reached out to Toyota corporate and informed them of the issue. Parts have been ordered for a separate Customer Support Program to fix the brake booster system, which makes noise in the pedal, but is independent of this complaint. We will be reinspecting in greater detail to provide information to Toyota.
