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 North America 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.

During acceleration of 1200-1800 rpms, the transmission begins to shudder. I have asked the dealership to fix it due to the current recall but have stated that the transmission was already fixed.

The AC Compressor failed right before the average life of the average AC Compressor. And if you look at Toyota Camry from 2012 thru 2013, there were recalls on AC Compressors, so I find it hard to believe it is a coincidence that the 2014 AC Compressor failure shouldn't also have a recall just like 2012 and 2013. It sounds to …

Shaking and shuddering at around 30-45 mph. This happens in traffic and feels unsafe. This is a know issue for these cars, but mine is not included in the recall - this must be an oversight or mistake.

Unfortunately I had the car repaired after when the extended warranty expired, date and milage.
