Air conditioning and transmission that have 2 problems
Vehicle exhibits extreme delay in acceleration, particularly at highway speeds. gas can be to the floor and there is little to no response for at least one minute, not even a jump in rpm aaa a result of the increased throttle. trying to merge on to the highway is dangerous when the vehicle remains stuck at 40mph for at least one minute, if not longer. even once the vehicle has been brought up to speed, trying to change lanes or pass is near impossible as there is little to no response to engaging the throttle. this is dangerous and could easily result in an accident.. i have seen thousands of complaints regarding this issue. transmission has a generally delayed response, vehicle rolls backwards when transitioning from brake to gas, even on flat ground. this is yet another hazard seemingly brought on by the automatic transmission. vehicle was part of the torque converter recall. the recall repair was performed and it didn't make any difference for the vehicle. the transmission feels like it is on the verge of failing despite the vehicle still being 'young' and well-cared for. it has always been serviced by a dealership that claims this is normal. ...
While driving the camry in automatic the transmission appears to downshift slowly and drag
Vehicle shutters during light acceleration around 10mph-30mph. it develops a mild hesitation and lasts a few seconds unless acceleration is stopped. i continue accelerating and it passes. this just started after 100,000 miles and is consistent -happens all the time.
The vehicle exhibits shutter and vibration between 25 and 50 mph. the vehicle was taken to toyota dealer where software update for transmission was performed. technicians said vehicle was shutter free. the shutter did not improve any after this update. vehicle was then taken to independent mechanic where transmission fluid was flushed twice. mechanic noted that fluid was extremely dirty required 2nd flush to fully clean system. vehicle had approximately 70,000 miles at time of incident. mechanic noted that transmission likely needed replaced but new fluid would help with the issue. vehicle improved after fluid change but the shutter has now returned with 125,000 miles on vehicle. the shutter feels like the car is running over a rumble strip in between the 25-50 mph range as the car shifts gears.
Transmission shudders when accelerating from a complete stop. when you accelerate it shudders
Transmission failure. transmission was experiencing torque converter shudder. dealer replaced original torque converter at ~106,000 miles under warranty enhancement. after replacement the transmission developed a vibration between 30-40 mph. took car back to servicing dealer (hoselton toyota in east rochester, ny) and was told transmission had failed and that replacement was not covered by the warranty enhancement. dealer has made the claim that the failure is not related to the torque converter replacement or torque converter shudder. they are claiming a faulty transmission cooler is to blame for the failure. time elapsed between original warranty repair and diagnosis of out-of-warranty transmission failure was less than 3 months. at time or original repair the dealer did not diagnose any other faulty components and did not make recommendations for replacement of any transmission or related components.
As i begin accelerating the car shudders and does not respond. seeing many complaints with the same exact problem. the hesitant acceleration has almost caused me to get t boned & rear ended multiple times. i took my car to be checked and the problem is with the transmission assembly needed to be replaced and recommended filing complaint with the manufacturer for a service campaign concerning sputtering and the torque converter the problem is definitely a safety issue!
