I am having problem with my car 2 months ago, when I starting after few second something blocking and L stops.I am using my car for communication between home job, school on street, not to much using on highway. On 19 November 2018 I changed my oil and asked them check everything for winter time, also told about problem, because I am grandma and everyday pickin up my grandkids from school. The body shop find out about transmission and recall. Adviced me to call Toyota. My car had recall on 2014.we purchased this car on 2014 and dealer did not told us about recall. Car had already 60000 miles, now my car has 82171 miles. Also recall paper was sent to 1 St owner. I talked with Toyota they suggest me to do inspection in any Toyota dealer and they will fix, but today autonation Toyota dealer Liberty I'll service told me whole transmission needs to change and recall will not cover cost. Inspection shows transmission lunges sometimes when starting from stop diag 30 transmission failing between 2nd and3rd gears. I would say never repaired transmission converter last 5 years this defect affected to whole transmission. I would like to ask you help me to replace my transmission. Replacement will cost$6723, we almost soon paying off our loan less than this amount.this service clerk adviced me to change transmission or trade and buy another car. We have been very happy soon we will not gone have anymore monthly payments, so now come up like not put to danger my grand kids, we should buy or pay for replacement.even if we do trade our car, dealer will not fix transmission and sale to another person who will have soon a problem as like me.
The contact owns a 2012 Toyota Camry. The contact noticed abnormal sputtering and a strong vibration coming from the vehicle while driving 20 to 50 mph. The dealer (advantage Toyota valley stream, 400 w sunrise highway, valley stream, New York 11581, 516-887-3200) determined that the intake valve needed to be replaced. The part was replaced but, within a month, the vehicle was taken back for a second diagnostic testing where it was diagnosed that the transmission assembly needed to be replaced. An independent mechanic inspected the vehicle and recommended that the contact check with the manufacturer for a service campaign concerning sputtering and the torque converter. The manufacturer and the dealer (hillside Toyota, 139-65 queens blvd, jamaica, NY 11435, (718) 571-8211) were contacted and an appointment was made for diagnostic testing and repairs. The contact was waiting for a response from the manufacturer to determine if they would approve the recall repair. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was not available.
While driving on any road between 20 and 40 mph, 3rd and 4th speed, the transmission shudders and while pressing the gas, the vehicle hesitates. Sometimes it is somewhat clear to accelerate, other times it feels like you are fighting a wall that will not move. I believe from what I have read that it has to do with the ECU and a possible faulty torque converter. This should be looked into by the NHTSA proactively, and not left to the individual consumer to see if the issue resolves itself. If the car fails in moving traffic, someone could hit me from behind. At this time, I am having to go from 2nd speed to 4th speed by 40 mph to go around 3rd gear altogether. This is not the way the car should operate. Vehicle is in motion when this happens on any road at any time.
Car totaled in severe accident after ownership of eight months. Airbags did not deploy. I was driving South on mcloughlin blvd in portland or and my Toyota was struck from behind by a Chrysler with such force that it hit several other cars (believe the police officer said 6.)

The contact owns a 2012 Toyota Camry. While driving between 30-50 mph, the accelerator pedal was depressed and the vehicle would shutter and lose power without warning. The contact mentioned that failure had been present for several months, but seemed to be getting worse. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that there was an extended warranty program; however, the VIN was not included. The failure mileage was approximately 55,000.
The car hesitates for three to five seconds after decelerating, or when turning a corner, taking my foot off the pedal and then trying to accelerate again. Brought to dealer and they updated the software and told me there isn't any problems with the care. They lie. Over 200 people have reported this problem with Toyota on one site alone.
I am getting a flutter when I press on the gas pedal as I am driving on the road. I thought it was in the wheel, but it is actually the torque converter. When I contacted Toyota the second time about this problem, a mechanic rode with me to hear what was going on. He stated it was the torque converter and that they had replaced a few of them. He said they would do a software update and then replace the torque converter later that week. I received a call back later that day stating my VIN number wasn't included with the recall of the torque converters and he would contact Toyota to see if they would still cover it, because they had covered other vehicles. I received a call back over a week later to state Toyota said they would only cover half of the cost. This defect is something Toyota is fully aware of and should be taking care of the costs for the customer. I have googled about this problem and a lot of 2012 Camry's are having the same problem. The customer should not have to cover the costs of a malfunction that Toyota caused. If they are taking care of some of the customers, they most definitely should be taking care of this problem with all their customers. My car was only three years old when this problem started and I have to replace a transmission. This is ridiculous. Toyota needs to stand behind their product. Toyota didn't sell defective engines before, but now they do. Something needs to be done about this. Regardless if my VIN number didn't fall in line with the recall list, I am having the exact same problem so someone needs to include it and have Toyota fix my car. I'm in the last year of paying for my car and I have to put out almost $5,700 out for an engine? this is not happening. Something needs to be done. Toyota needs to step up and cover their defective torque converter and transmission.
I rear ended a Jeep Wrangler going about 30 miles an hour on the interstate. The Jeep was stationary and my car was in motion my airbags did not deploy and I hit my forehead on the steering wheel which caused a large knot and cut on my forehead.
The contact owns a 2012 Toyota Camry. While driving 15 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle completely lost power. In addition, the contact stated that the failure occurred at least eight times. The vehicle was taken to a dealer to be repaired, but the dealer could not duplicate the failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was 48,000.
When a light turns green and I try and go forward my Toyota Camry will not accelerate for 2 to 7 seconds. There was a recall for software that was supposed to fix the issue, how ever it is still happening. The issue is intermittent occurring about every 1000 miles. In the last 4 months another issue has happened where I will be going along at about 30 miles per hour and suddenly the car will stall out for about 5 seconds, this has happened 6 times now. I have taken it to two Toyota dealerships the first one refused to look at it without me paying a diagnostic fee, the other Toyota kept the car for a week and said they could not duplicate the problem so there was nothing they would do. I called Toyota national service center at 1 888 2709371 and was told there is nothing they will do because the dealership cannot replicate the problem. My issue is they know there is an issue, they sent me a letter stating that there might be problems and they voluntarily extended my warranty on the specific parts they know can cause issues. I am concerned for my safety, and have tried to get the issue resolved. What are the next steps I can take to get the issue fixed.
Rodents have discovered the soy compound used to insulate the wires. My daughter has had to replace wiring twice in the last month. The damage to the wiring results in engine and transmission issues including stalling. This is as dangerous as the issues affecting GM cobalts.

This happens while driving at any speeds. I was driving at 20mph and needed to pick up speed to make a pass and the car just kept on revving and the speed did not increase at all and when it finally picked up speed, it was a hard jerk. It has been happening more often. Another incident at a yield sign heading into the highway. As I was entering the highway, I hit brake to slow down and had to gas up to get into the lane and the car just didn't move. I stepped on the gas pedal and the car didn't move. I already changed the torque converter within the warranty but the problem still exist. As of right now, the car is out of warranty.
