For about a year now my car kept shuddering when I would excellerate from 20 to 40 mph and I was taking it to mechanics and they didn-??t know what the problem was until one day I took it to pep boys and one of the workers had the exact same car as me and told me there was a recall because I was complaining to him about that problem and he had the same problem so they fixed his car then I took it to Toyota and they told me they couldn-??t fix it because there was no recall so I did a lot of research and the recall expired in July 2022 and I was still paying for my car all the way until 2023 of august. I also called customer service and was told the car recall was expired and if I want to get it fixed it would be out of pocket. It-??s very dangerous to drive because my car pulls back while I-??m driving and at anytime a car can hit me from behind.

The vehicle has a shudder at accelerating that will prevent proper acceleration. I had a few incidents where I needed to get out of a traffic situation that out me in danger and the vehicle almost stalled. I read about this shudder, Toyota das a warranty engagement notification-ZE5. However it was for 8 years and under 150000 miles. I am well under 150000 but just over 8 years.

When accelerating from a stop the vehicle will sometimes move about 10 feet and then hesitate for about 1 to 2 seconds. It will then accelerate normally. One time the vehicle accelerated to about 20 mph and then the engine rpm returned to idle. The accelerator was pushed to the floor and the rpm remained at idle. The accelerator was released and pushed down again. The vehicle accelerated normally. This happened only one time. The intermittent hesitation is very dangerous when trying to cross a busy intersection when the cross traffic is uncontrolled. The vehicle was taken to the dealership for the problem. The technician could not duplicate the condition. The U760E torque converter shudder recall upgrade was performed. This did not fix the problem. The service advisor said that the technician said that some transmission hesitation was normal. The service advisor also said there had been other complaints about this condition. This condition is dangerous and not normal.

I have experienced issues with my vehicle when shifting since 2017 withal minor -€œshudder-€ 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.

I had my breaks changed back in July, before I left on military orders. When I came back home, I noticed my car wasn't working properly. I would have to press really hard for them to work. Or they would still be engaged like, making it harder for me to drive. As well my car would rev up, in park mode. Or while I'm waiting at a red light or stop sign. I've noticed a popping sound on left side of my car as well. My electric system will sometimes cut off everything in my car. I will have to turn car off wait a few mins and turn it back on. I have had check engine lights come on, I took it to body shop. They ran a test on it. And stated everything was fine, and rest codes. I use this car to and from work. I get frequently maintenance checks. The only thing I've had done to care was replacement of head light from a deer hitting me. I've noticed malfunction prior to deer hitting me. I was told by body shop to report issues.

We purchased a certified used 2014.5 Toyota Camry from baxter Toyota in April 2014. The engine has always run a bit rough and we had it checked by baxters service department several times and were told that "that was normal for that particular year, however, with the 2020 recall on the fuel pump issue it sounds like we may have the same problem and would appreciate if we could at least have our fuel pump check out in accordance with the recall.

When car was completely stopped at a stop sign, car made a loud noise and started shaking. Then car accelerated on its own. Brakes locked. Car wouldn't stop in neutral or in park gear. It caused an accident by rear ending the car in front of me. Car accelerated very quickly and steering wheel locked as well. Passenger in car heard the noise too. The car accelerated abruptly on its own.

There was a lot of noise coming from the driver side of the car, and it began shuddering and would not accelerate when pressing the accelerator pedal. I've been nervous about driving on the interstate and pray it doesn't keep happening. Anyway, the car was inspected on October 18 2019, I was told there is a problem with R&R transmission for torque converter needs to be replaced and replace rear main seal. Unfortunately, I don't have $3,000 to fix this problem.

I drive a 2014 Toyota Camry SE and I am experiencing an excessive oil consumption, I am using always a syntactic oil but it does not last long time. The reason I am writing about this issues is because yesterday I was driving ( 50 M/H) and the engine shut off and the oil light come on, I was lucky no one was driving behind me. I took my car to a shop today and they told me that many Toyota engine has this problem.

Car stalls sometimes but hesitate every time I drive on streets with low speed limit. While accelerating from a stop sign or slow traffic flow, car hesitates for 2-3 seconds and then its fine. But this happens every time. On highway speed, it doesn't hesitate or stall unless I come to a stop and then try to accelerate.
