2014 Toyota Camry Engine Problems

While driving at speed over 45 mph or going up a steep hill car starts to shutdown and shudder causing a serious safety concern. I could have been killed. I understand this is related to oil consumption problem that toyota has failed to address in the 2014 model. What can be done? This is criminal!

My car is exhausting oil very rapidly. It’s burning oil from inside the engine. Started 2 months ago. I have never received ANY recalls on it.

Car shudders when accelerating past 20mph

I bought this car 2 weeks ago and now I'm learning of this Torque Converter problem. The used car dealership claimed that the car did not have any mechanical issues and upon test driving the issue wasn't apparent. However, no sooner than driving off the lot I notice the shutter. All of these dealerships kick the can down the road and does not fix this issue. There should be a recall on these models 2012 - 2014 to fix this issue as it is very expensive for the average driver. Toyota knew about this issue from 2012 and did not fix the problem. They will only fix it when they are forced.

I own a 2014 Toyota Camry there is a known issue with the 2012-2014 Toyota Camry models for the torque converters failing. In December of 2023 I noticed my vehicle not changing gears as smoothly as it normally does so I took my vehicle to my local Toyota dealership and was told that I needed by torque converter replaced and it would be $2800. Upon my research I found out that this is a known issue for this make and model and Toyota had a warranty enhancement program for this to be fixed but it ended in 2022. I was never informed of this program and if this is a known issues and they can verify that I haven't had this repaired before then my vehicle should be fixed at the expense of Toyota. I paid the $2800 because I was told not replacing it could cause transmission problems down the road. I called Toyota and sent them proof of ownership, proof of payment for the repair and they refuse to reimburse me in any way. Can someone please look into this for me?

Timing chain snapped- causing irreversible damage to the engine. I now need a new engine for the vehicle.

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.

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!

The contact owns a 2014 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that after driving 30 MPH and stopping at a traffic light; while attempting to move off from being stopped, the accelerator pedal was depressed however, the vehicle started to shudder. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to a local dealer to be inspected. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The contact was informed that the VIN was not included in a recall. The failure mileage was approximately 97,000.

HESITATION BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND GEAR, SPUTTERING FEELING

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 .

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.

MY CAR GETS STUCK AT 40 MPH WHEN PRESSING ON GAS I HAVE BEEN TAKING IT BACK AND FORTH TO DEALER SINCE I PURCHASED IT AND THEY CAN FIND NOTHING WRONG

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.

THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED LATER DURING THE WEEK. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 111,000.

REPLACED THE TORQUE CONVERTER BEFORE 57,000. ACCORDING THE THE SERVICE AD VISOR THIS WAS A PROBLEM THAT TOYOTA KNEW ABOUT AND NEVER ISSUE A RECALL. MY CAR VIN WAS ON A LIST. I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT 60 MILES AND NOTICE THE ODOMETER WON'T MOVE. IT WON'T ACCELERATE OVER 60 MPH. THE DEALER CHANGE THE TORQUE CONVERTER BUT STILL HAVING PROBLEMS. THE DEALER WON'T GIVE ME A COPY OF THE REPAIR.
