Recent owner reports: Power Train
“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,”
“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.”
“The contact owns a 2014 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that while driving approximately 20 MPH, the accelerator pedal was depressed, and the vehicle hesitated before jolting into the next gear. 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.”
