Transmission torque converter shudder - shudders between gears, occurs between any two gears but mostly within the 20-55 MPH range. Begun most noticeably at ~90K, and the vehicle now has 103K on it and shudder continues to worsen and become more frequent. Brought it back to dealer several times now and they have advised most likely torque converter needs to be replaced (approximately a $3-$4K repair). Same problem as the generation before where Toyota eventually extended warranty cover for: https://www.toyoheadquarters.com/threads/2013-2015-toyota-rav4-transmission-shudder-warranty-extension-zh1.1148/page-2
