“The contact owns a 2013 Toyota Camry. The contact stated while driving 15-20 MPH and depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle hesitated to respond. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the failure had been recurring increasingly while driving. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact related the failure to Toyota Campaign Number: ZE5. The failure mileage was approximately 90,000.”

“While driving have noticed shuddering at random times. Car just now has 134k on it and the service records never showed what computer update was done. Was unaware of any issues with torque converter issues. Have had cruise control set to speed limit and had car acceleration up to 25miles over speed set, car has also slowed down without anything being changed. Went to dealership because torque converter tsb and was told it was out of warranty in Aug 2021. had ecm reprogrammed with original owner in 2014... toyota knew this was an issue and never corrected parts”

“THE CAR STUTTERS REALLY BAD AT LOW SPEEDS, I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID I WAS OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY BY TWO WEEKS BUT IT WAS THE TORQUE CONVERTER, I HAVE BEEN HAVING THIS PROBLEM OFF AND ON FOR YEARS BUT THOUGHT IT WAS SOMETHING SMALL BECAUSE IT WOULDN'T LAST LONG, HOWEVER FOR THE PAST 3 MONTHS OR SO IT HAS GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE AND DOES IT EVERY TIME, WE THOUGHT WE WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR A DIAGNOSTICS WHICH IS OVER $100 WHICH IS WHY WE DIDN'T TAKE IT SOONER, HOWEVER THE DAY THAT WE TOOK IT THEY SAID IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY BY 2 WEEKS AND WHEN WE CALLED TOYOTA THEY WOULD NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH MY YEAR MAKE AND MODEL TOYOTA, JUST ASKING FOR HELP GETTING THIS HAZARDOUS AND SAFETY ISSUE RECALLED.”

“THE ISSUE DID NOT HAPPEN ON A CONSIST BASIS UNTIL LAST MONTH. EVERYTIME I DRIVE MY CAR HESITATES. IT TAKES A MINUTE OR TWO FOR MY CAR TO ACCELERATE. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF I'M ON A LOCAL ROAD, INTERSTATE OR GOING UP A HILL. THE OUTCOME IS THE SAME.”

“TORQUE CONVERTER PROBLEM WHILE IN MOTION IT'S CAUSING: SLIPPING OVERHEATING CONTAMINATED TRANSMISSION FLUID SHUDDERING INCREASED STALL SPEED UNUSUAL SOUNDS”

“ON THURSDAY OCTOBER 10, AROUND 02:05AM IN HUNTINGTON AVENUE AND PARKER HILL AVENUE IN BOSTON MASSACHUSETTS. I WAS AT THE TRAFFIC LIGHT ON RED, FOOT ON BRAKE AND THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND IMMEDIATELY I STEPPED ON THE ACCELERATOR MY CAR SPED OFF OVER 70MPH WHICH I KNOW ON THE CITY ROAD ON A RAINY DAY IT IS A 25MPH ZONE. IN AN ATTEMPT TO SLOW DOWN WITH BRAKES MY CAR STARTED SPINNING , IT CIRCLED IN THE SAME HIGH SPEED ABOUT THREE TIMES, STOPPED AND RETURNED TO NORMAL. FORTUNATELY FOR US IT WAS AN EMPTY STREET DURING THAT EARLY HOURS AND THANK GOD IT DID NOT CRASH INTO ANY PERSON OR PROPERTY. WE CONTINUED TO THE FINAL DESTINATION WITHOUT ANY ISSUES.”
