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. Called the Toyota Company and Toyota said, the extended warranty on the transmission expired in 2022. I said, it’s only 100,000 miles, but less than 150,000 miles — which was the maximum extended mileage warranty. Toyota insisted they could not do anything because 2022 came 1st and not the 150k miles. Took it to a transmission shop and after diagnosis, had it .rebuilt. Rebuilding partially solved the problem, a little improvement from before. Took it back for more checking until finally, after valve body assembly replacement, shudder is gone.

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. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The dealer stated that at a minimum, the torque converter needed to be replaced and the TCM needed to be reprogrammed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 124,000.

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 dealership in Vineland 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.
