2014 Toyota Camry

Camry began to shudder under light acceleration 25-50mph and can be rather violent at times. Checked for a recall and noticed a service bulletin for a faulty torque converter but no recall. Contacted Toyota and they advised me that I was ONE MONTH past the extended service date which was out of my control as I had recently gotten it inspected and Toyota passed it without any issues. Given the fact that they passed it knowing it shudders and can have a transmission failure at any moment is a bad business practice and should be checked/reformed.

The contact owns a 2014 Toyota Camry. The contact stated while driving approximately 20 MPH, the vehicle started to shudder in first gear. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was towed to a local dealer where it was diagnosed with needing the torque convertor replaced however, the vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure and informed the contact that the vehicle was not included in a recall. The failure mileage was 144,857.

My 2014 Camry has a vibration when driving. I took it to local Toyota dealership. They advised that the torque converter is bad and needs replaced. This is $2474 repair. While researching I noticed the 2012 & 2013 Camry had a recall for a bad torque converter. My car has 94K miles which I'm told its unusual for the transmission to go bad. I believe that Toyota should include the 2014 model year in the existing recall.

My engine is burning oil risking my safety commuting to and from work. Piston rings have gone bad even with regular oil changes. This is poorly manufactured and not a result of maintenance. Only reason I knew oil I was burning oil was because I checked it and no indicator lights would have told me before blowing the engine up entirely. That to me is a scare feeling that could have been missed!

The contact owns a 2014 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that after driving 30 MPH and stopping at a traffic light; while attempting to move off from being stopped, the accelerator pedal was depressed however, the vehicle started to shudder. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to a local dealer to be inspected. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The contact was informed that the VIN was not included in a recall. The failure mileage was approximately 97,000.

While driving at highway speeds the steering seems to "stick" a little. I would explain it as the front end seems to pull from side to side, and then the drive wheels seen to stick so you have to fight with the steering wheel to get the vehicle to maintain lane travel. The dash lights came on that same night when this started. Maintenance req, airbag, seatbelt, battery, brake, low tire pressure, and traction Control lights all came on. They remain on and have not gone off.

On random occasions, key in the ignition won't turn at all, regardless of stepping on the brake and moving the steering wheel at the same time. Sometimes, I was able to turn the key after trying again in 5 minutes. Once, it worked after 25 minutes of trying. Not a consistent issue, but I never know when and where it may happen again. Not sure if it is "available for inspection upon request". Don't believe that the car has been inspected by a service center or anyone else yet. While my safety was not put in jeopardy at those specific moments, it could be a safety issue in the future, because I may have to drive someone to a medical facility or I may need to leave an environment that has become unsafe, and I would be stranded for however long, if the ignition abruptly gets locked.

The contact owns a 2014 Toyota Camry. The contact stated while driving at speeds exceeding 20 MPH, the vehicle would not properly accelerate while depressing the accelerator pedal. Occasionally, the vehicle would lose motive power. The cause of the failure was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer and local dealer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 52,000.
