Filed Aug 1, 2022CA

While stopped at a red light with my foot on the brake pedal only, the power switched from the battery of this hybrid vehicle to gas and started racing, causing the vehicle to accelerate and move through the crosswalk and into the intersection.? Had there been pedestrians in the crosswalk or traffic at the intersection, the outcome could have been tragic. I applied pressure to the brake which did not readily stop the vehicle until it had crossed into the intersection. Once the engine stopped racing and the car has come to a halt, I pulled the vehicle to the side of the road and tested it to determine if I could still drive it. I reported the problem to the dealer and they kept the vehicle for 2 days. I could feel the difference in the way the loaner vehicle performed. They indicated the problem was fixed although no other information was disclosed. Without reading the receipt, I drove the vehicle again, constantly alert to the problem and when the engine started racing and the vehicle started moving forward. I lifted my foot off the brake and kept slamming it against the brake pedal to stop the vehicle. I was recovering from an ulcer on the bottom of the second toe of my right foot which started bleeding leaving a wide hole on the underside of my toe. I reported this to my podiatrist who scheduled me for an emergency appointment. The phalanges in that toe were had been demolished by the force applied. The tendons had separated and the toe could not be salvaged. I was sent to

On July 6, 2022 I was told by Walser Toyota in Bloomington, MN that they would not repair a known defective torque convertor part that was evidently under an extended warranty until March 21, 2022. The issue with the torque converter mimicked driving over a bumpy road until recently when it would stop my ability to accelerate while driving. In one incident it caused me to press the gas much harder than necessary in order to keep the car moving and nearly caused an accident. I was also pulled over and ticketed for speeding in a separate incident due to the unexpected acceleration caused by trying to overcome the effects of the defective part. I looked online and saw that thousands of other Toyota Camry owners between the years of 2012-2014 are experiencing the same unsafe driving as a result of thedefectivd torque convertor/transmission issue. However, Toyota failed to disclose this issue. They are stating they didn't feel it was necessary because it was not officially labeled a recall. I plan to seek assistance by any escalation means necessary. Toyota needs to be held responsible before any more people are injured or property is damaged.

Unintended accelerator: The latest occurrence of this issue has resulted in the 4th time I have reported it to the dealer and taken it in for investigation of the issue. Three (3) times in 2020 [January, May and September] I took the vehicle to the Toyota dealer in Simi Valley California and each time they advised that they found nothing. I stressed to them that I was concerned about the possibility of having an accident and that I would not allow anyone else but me to operate the vehicle. Overall, this event has occurred about 6-7 times. Normally, I'm in the vehicle alone but in April of 2022, I had my wife and grandson in the car when it happened again. As before, I was able to to put the car into neutral and hit the brake until the issue had passed. It happens so sporadically and unexpectedly that I cannot anticipate it. Of course, even if I take it to the dealer, they are unable to replicate it. Until this most recent event, I have been fortunate enough to react by sliding the transmission into neutral and applying the brake to avoid a collision until the accelerator slows down enough to slip the transmission back into drive and move on. Most recently, on 10 June 2022, I was returning home from work and, as I do customarily, I began to back into an open parking spot when the accelerator raced again unexpectedly. As I had done successfully previously, I attempted to slide the gear shift into neutral but was unable to do so quickly enough and, as a result, I ran over the cu

The touchscreen on the audio head unit does not function properly. I cannot pair a phone with the car's audio system because the on-screen buttons are unresponsive. This is a safety issue. I cannot use hands-free calling because I cannot pair a phone with the audio system. I started noticing issues with the touchscreen in 2018, but I was able to work around the issue. In 2020, however, I can no longer pair mobile devices to the audio system. Toyota is aware of this issue. It is widespread among several vehicle models from 2012-2014.

Toyota issued a Customer Support Program for U760E Torque Converter / Shudder. (My paperwork from Valley-Hi Toyota for original CSP says campaign or recall inspection. I do not know if there was a formal RECALL). This Customer Support Program was extended multiple times. The last extension expired 1/27/22. We took our vehicle in for service / repair while this CSP (Customer Service Program) was still active when Toyota notified us. When we took our 2014 Camry in for service our car was not showing signs of "shudder'. Our 2014 Toyota Camry developed a "SHUDDER" related to the torque converter / transmission on or about 3/29/2022. We scheduled service with our local Toyota dealership 4/7/2022. We were told we were not covered for this $2,500 Defective Part repair as their CSP had expired 2 months ago. This is a SAFETY issue. Toyota recognizes the issue as they have already extended their CSP multiple times. I’m told this Shudder will continue to worsen where my car will be undriveable. Will this happen while I’m on a crowded freeway? Toyota was aware of this defective part yet chose NOT to go with a SAFETY recall. They went with a "Customer Support Program" to save cost over lives. SAFETY FIRST. We were NOT notified of subsequent extensions, or we would have taken our vehicle in for service checks. Toyota is choosing profit over safety. Case # 220406001119 / 220406000716

I have experienced issues with my vehicle when shifting since 2017 withal minor “shudder” after shifting into a higher gear. Now, my vehicle has begun to have trouble shifting from first gear to second. When shifting, the vehicle will abruptly stop before catching in second gear and continuing. It has become a concern as I am not confident to pull out onto busy roads.

We own a 2014 Toyota Camry with 88k miles on it. First my wife noticed a shuddering feeling at the speeds of 40-50 miles. She said it was very seldom, she was not worried, she thought it could the road surface making noise. A few weeks later, when I drove it to a shopping center, I noticed transmission shuddering and vibration in the car. A days later took it to the local Toyota service center, they run a diagnostics with an expensive $115 (even though it was obvious that it was a transmission problem). The service told me that it is the torque converter issues and said it is very common for 2012-2014 Toyota Camry. He mentioned that there has been an extended warranty for 8 years or 150k miles which every comes first. The service guy told me that my Camry passed the warranty about 2 months even though the mileage was about 88k, and they can't help with the cost. He suggested I should call Toyota Corp. office and open a case. I did it and explain the issue to Toyota Corp. guy. A few days later a Toyota rep called me and said he is sorry to say that he can't do anything, it is now my problem, I have to pay the repair bill (in the range of $2000) since the warranty passed only two months. Toyota is not covering this problem even though the problem is their fault since it is a mechanical/production problem, not related to a driver. Toyota only issued a technical bulletin for this problem, no recall at all. My Camry has only 88K miles on it and not covered it with the warranty. I

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 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!

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.

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.
