2014 Toyota Camry Complaint Log

The car start showing signs of "brief shudder intermittently while driving under light loads between approximately 25 and 50 mph", as indicated on Toyota Service Bulletin T-SB-0034-14 (https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2014/MC-10131827-9999.pdf) and T-SB-0312-17 (https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2017/MC-10146516-9999.pdf), with Toyota's solution "The torque converter and Engine Control Module/ECM (SAE term: Powertrain Control Module/PCM) logic has been modified to reduce the possibility of this condition occurring. Follow the Repair Procedure below to address this condition." Today 5/1/23, I have taken the car (91,079 miles) to Toyota dealership, and the mechanic recommended "transmission replacement (automatic): complete transmission with torque converter & reset values to relearn new transmission and drivers driving habits: $6,888.17". I have called Toyota (800)-331-4331 explaining to Toyota representative the issue and referring to Toyota's service bulletin on this issue, with the hope the cost of the repair will be covered by Toyota, since this is a know issue for them. However, I was told that Toyota covered the warranty for this issue "until 10/21/2022 or 150,000 miles, whichever comes first". Therefore, since the date 10/21/2022 already passed, but the car having less than 150,00- miles (91,079 miles), Toyota representative told me Toyota will not cover the repair of this issue. Consequently, I am addressing this issue to NHTSA, with the hope that NHTSA can ask Toyota to cover the repair of this issue, by either making an exception or revise the warranty conditions (i.e., up to 150,000 miles, without date limit). Thank you.

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

The contact owns a 2014 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that the rear passenger’s side and rear driver's side exterior door handles had dislodged from the doors, making it difficult to open the doors from outside the vehicle. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The manufacturer and local dealer were not yet contacted. The failure mileage was 145,000.

The contact owns a 2014 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that while driving approximately 60 mph, the vehicle began to jerk, and the vehicle began to lose power causing the vehicle to decelerate. The brake pedal was depressed, and vehicle was veered to the side of the road. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the torque converter needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but stated the warranty enhancement extension for recall expired last year. The failure mileage was 114,000.

The contact owns a 2014 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that while his wife was driving at an undisclosed speed, the RPM increased, but the vehicle failed to respond properly. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed a failure with the transmission. The vehicle was not repaired due to the parts being discontinued. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was 89,000.

Problem with Vehicle has shutter from toques converter. Toyota put out an extended warranty period which I was not aware of. Found out online when I noticed my car was having problems

The contact owns a 2014 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that the air bag warning light illuminated while the passenger’s side front seat was occupied. Additionally, the contact stated that the seat belts chime reminder would not engage as needed, and the seat belt warning light would illuminate while the seat belts were securely buckled. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 172,000.

The vehicle has a shudder at accelerating that will prevent proper acceleration. I had a few incidents where I needed to get out of a traffic situation that out me in danger and the vehicle almost stalled. I read about this shudder, Toyota das a warranty engagement notification-ZE5. However it was for 8 years and under 150000 miles. I am well under 150000 but just over 8 years.

The torque convert creates a shudder when under light load between 35- 50mph. Initially it was happen sporadically and when it was initially noticed it was always on the same stretch of road which prompt me to think it was the road surface. Only after about a year of this did it appear to happen more often and at different areas. With more attentive driving I narrowed down the speed and conditions. I have had my oil change at the dealership every time since getting the car with 6K miles. At my service 1/7/23 I asked a technician and he said it is a known issue on the torque converter. Toyota Warranty Enhancement program ZE5 is meant to replace for 8 years from first use or 150,000, whichever comes first. Toyota claims they reached out to each owner but in my case I was the second owner and was not notified. Toyota is refusing to honor the repair. My vehicle is had 137552 miles when I was informed of the recall but the issue had been going on for more than a year and had Toyota informed me of the condition at any service time the problem would have been addressed within their arbitrary 8 years. The vehicle is still within the 150,000 and I ask that the NHTSA request that Toyota remove the "whichever come first of the eight years or up to 150,000 miles. They made no effort to inform me and I am concerned that I may loose power while driving or overtaking. Toyota quote $4000 for the repair. Other failing item is the sporadic failure of the BSM. It will light up the BSM on the dash. turn the system on and off a few times and it appear to reset but I am unsure if it is truly working. Front Passenger door actuator does not always lock or unlock. The car will flash the lights and appear locked but the passenger door is not locked. Risk of theft and not knowing if the manual lock holds- I believe a Class action lawsuit exist for the actuators

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.

The contact owns a 2014 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle was shaking and hesitating while depressing the accelerator pedal. There was no warning light illuminated. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but offered no assistance. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 92,000.

The vehicle shudders when switching from 2nd gear to 3rd gear at average acceleration and light load. It is an ongoing issue. Upon researching I found TSB SB0034-14R2 which appears to describe my issue. I took it to the dealer and they said I had to change the entire transmission, the torque converter and update the ECM software. When I called Toyota HQ customer service, they said the previous owner was notified of the issue and they didn't bring it in. They were willing to fix it for free up to May 2022 and I bought it after that. What I don't understand is why they aren't willing to at least provide a free ECM software update since this is likely an issue that existed in the software from the time it was manufactured. Software updates don't require a large amount of labor or a change of parts and it could remediate this safety issue. The shudder could cause me to get in an accident and get injured.

The radio/navigation system in my vehicle malfunctioned during a self starting update. My screen now stays in reboot mode. The problem is, the screen stays at full brightness whenever the car is on at night I can’t see very well to drive. The other night I was coming home with me and my kids in the car and i hit the ditch trying to turn because the screen was so bright it impaired my vision. The screen never goes off as long as the car is running and there is way to adjust the brightness.

The torque converter in the transmission fails to catch the clutch when I am driving at high or low speeds both in residential and on highway lanes. I can be driving 10 mph or 65 mph and the car will vibrate causing the car to slow, shake and shutter. In serious cases, the torque converter will slip out of gear or wont allow you to shift into a certain gear leaving you stuck and stranded on the road or highway if you don't make it to the side of the road/highway fast enough. This is a serious safety issue. The toyota dealership has recognized this issue and said that I will have to come out of pocket myself since I have missed the campaign warranty period. (someone previously owned the car) we have had the car for year and just noticed the shuttering and shaking last year. We just paid the car off last year. We are heartbroken and frustrated.

My car pulls back as I'm driving and or breaking. Specially when im in the freeway passing 40 miles per hour. Have take. It to get check but they tell me it's a computer glitch between engine and system. I'm concern it may cause a problem on the road.

Shudders at low speed like countless others. Just waiting for it to die in the middle of a busy intersection.

The basic issue is unintended acceleration. I reported this issue four (4) separate times to the local Toyota dealer in my area: 1/20/2020 - 5/2/2020 - 9/28/2020 and most recently on 6/13/2022. The most recent incident resulted in an accident whereby I backed into a building while parking and caused more than $5,000 damage. All incidents were reported to and investigated by two (2) different Toyota dealers in my area: Simi Valley, CA and Thousand Oaks, CA. The investigation resulted in no findings and to this point in time, fortunately, no one was a hurt nor was there another vehicle involved - yet. Just a few days ago - 10/31/22 - my wife and I were in this same vehicle running errands when this happened again. While coming to a stop at an intersection, the accelerator raced while I had my foot on the brake. It was only because I reacted as quickly as I did that we did not become involved in an accident. I was able to quickly shift the vehicle into neutral until the engine revving subsided after several seconds. Had I not, both my wife and I would have certainly been injured or worse by cross traffic. This issue cannot be predicted and the analysis that has been performed thus far both by Toyota and AAA has uncovered no detectable problem - as I understand it - because this only occurs when the vehicle is moving at about 5-10 mph (decelerating) in preparation to come to a stop. This issue makes operating this vehicle highly unsafe and I cannot allow anyone else to operate the vehicle because of my fear that it will happen again. I just don't know when.

The touch screen needed to pair a bluetooth device for hands free usage does not work. It is not responsive to touch in any way, preventing users from pairing devices. From the looks of online forums, this is a pervasive problem for this make/model. If handsfree use is required in my state, this malfunction should be covered by warranty / toyota recall. The entire device is inoperable.

I was slowly pulling into a parking space at the Nordstrom store in Dunwoody, Georgia, when the car suddenly self-accelerated, jumped the curb and hit a concrete pillar. The pillar was about 15 feet from the parking area curb. Pressing the brake did not slow the car.

Excellent

The contact owns a 2014 Toyota Camry. The contact stated while driving approximately 55 MPH, the accelerator pedal was depressed with light pressure, and he heard an abnormal rumbling sound coming from under the floorboard. The contact stated that he felt a light vibration in his seat. The contact stated that he took his foot off the accelerator pedal and the vibration ceased. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact stated that the failure was intermittent and occurred mostly while driving at a steady speed and then lightly depressing the accelerator. The contact drove the vehicle to a local dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that there was a shudder in the torque converter, and that the torque converter needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact researched online and related the failure to Toyota Technical Service Bulletin 0312-17 (Torque Converter Flex Lock-up Shudder). The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 125,000.

The contact owns a 2014 Toyota Camry. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle made an abnormal sound and the steering shifted to the driver’s side abruptly. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the vehicle was diagnosed, and it was determined that the vehicle experienced steering wheel balancer failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

While stopped at a red light with my foot on the brake pedal only, the power switched from the battery of this hybrid vehicle to gas and started racing, causing the vehicle to accelerate and move through the crosswalk and into the intersection.? Had there been pedestrians in the crosswalk or traffic at the intersection, the outcome could have been tragic. I applied pressure to the brake which did not readily stop the vehicle until it had crossed into the intersection. Once the engine stopped racing and the car has come to a halt, I pulled the vehicle to the side of the road and tested it to determine if I could still drive it. I reported the problem to the dealer and they kept the vehicle for 2 days. I could feel the difference in the way the loaner vehicle performed. They indicated the problem was fixed although no other information was disclosed. Without reading the receipt, I drove the vehicle again, constantly alert to the problem and when the engine started racing and the vehicle started moving forward. I lifted my foot off the brake and kept slamming it against the brake pedal to stop the vehicle. I was recovering from an ulcer on the bottom of the second toe of my right foot which started bleeding leaving a wide hole on the underside of my toe. I reported this to my podiatrist who scheduled me for an emergency appointment. The phalanges in that toe were had been demolished by the force applied. The tendons had separated and the toe could not be salvaged. I was sent to the hospital to have the toe amputated and to see if the metatarsals could be spared. I went back to the dealership and the only work they did during the course of the week was to tint the windows that I begged them not to do. I have been unable to drive the vehicle.

The contact owns a 2014 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the gas cap needed to be replaced. The gas cap was replaced; however, the failure recurred. The contact also stated that after refueling the vehicle, the vehicle failed to immediately start. The contact stated that after waiting approximately thirty minutes the vehicle started as needed. The vehicle was taken back to the independent mechanic where the gas cap was replaced; however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was then taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that fuel had leaked from the filler neck and the gas cap and purge valve needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was informed that the VIN was not included in a recall nor covered under warranty. The failure mileage was approximately 95,000.

The contact stated that the vibration had become constant, and the vehicle would shudder at various speeds. The contact was concerned that the failure was with the tires and had a tire dealer test drive the vehicle. The tire dealer advised the contact that the failure was caused by the transmission. The contact had taken the vehicle to a local dealer but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 83,000.

On July 6, 2022 I was told by Walser Toyota in Bloomington, MN that they would not repair a known defective torque convertor part that was evidently under an extended warranty until March 21, 2022. The issue with the torque converter mimicked driving over a bumpy road until recently when it would stop my ability to accelerate while driving. In one incident it caused me to press the gas much harder than necessary in order to keep the car moving and nearly caused an accident. I was also pulled over and ticketed for speeding in a separate incident due to the unexpected acceleration caused by trying to overcome the effects of the defective part. I looked online and saw that thousands of other Toyota Camry owners between the years of 2012-2014 are experiencing the same unsafe driving as a result of thedefectivd torque convertor/transmission issue. However, Toyota failed to disclose this issue. They are stating they didn't feel it was necessary because it was not officially labeled a recall. I plan to seek assistance by any escalation means necessary. Toyota needs to be held responsible before any more people are injured or property is damaged.

Car has been vibrating anytime it goes above 40-45 mph. Mechanic recommended to change the cv axle which I did and I still have same problem. On highways it shakes so much that sometimes it feels like I may loose control of my steering wheel. There's a knocking sound while going on bumps and speed breakers. Check engine light came twice and it was reset by saying its false positive.

I believe it was 6/23/22, i was stopped in traffic on I35 and I30, traveling south toward Waco. I was in stop and go traffic at the bottom of the ramp. As I was stopped, the car accelerated forward and hit a work truck in front of me. The construction truck had a rotating tire hoisted on its rear end. My car received front end damage by the rotating wheel. The truck was not damaged. I reported the incident to Allstate. The car was not repaired because a few months later, I had an accident involving an uninsured driver who ran a red light and totaled my car.

Unintended accelerator: The latest occurrence of this issue has resulted in the 4th time I have reported it to the dealer and taken it in for investigation of the issue. Three (3) times in 2020 [January, May and September] I took the vehicle to the Toyota dealer in Simi Valley California and each time they advised that they found nothing. I stressed to them that I was concerned about the possibility of having an accident and that I would not allow anyone else but me to operate the vehicle. Overall, this event has occurred about 6-7 times. Normally, I'm in the vehicle alone but in April of 2022, I had my wife and grandson in the car when it happened again. As before, I was able to to put the car into neutral and hit the brake until the issue had passed. It happens so sporadically and unexpectedly that I cannot anticipate it. Of course, even if I take it to the dealer, they are unable to replicate it. Until this most recent event, I have been fortunate enough to react by sliding the transmission into neutral and applying the brake to avoid a collision until the accelerator slows down enough to slip the transmission back into drive and move on. Most recently, on 10 June 2022, I was returning home from work and, as I do customarily, I began to back into an open parking spot when the accelerator raced again unexpectedly. As I had done successfully previously, I attempted to slide the gear shift into neutral but was unable to do so quickly enough and, as a result, I ran over the curb and banged into a wall situated about 2-3 feet behind the curb.

The contact owns a 2014 Toyota Camry Hybrid. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle experienced unintended acceleration. The vehicle was taken to the dealer; however, the dealer was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 77,900.

May 8 2022 The vehicle was parked when I took it out of park it accelerated even when I repeatedly slammed on the brakes it continued to accelerate. It caused me to hit another vehicle and almost into a house. Airbags didn't deploy either....Prior to the incident a check hybrid system was the only warning i guess the vehicle had given. Which we had a appointment to get checked tomorrow. May 9th 2022.

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.

When my car takes off it hesitate to move and when it does it take off. Something In the tires pop when you drive

Toyota issued a Customer Support Program for U760E Torque Converter / Shudder. (My paperwork from Valley-Hi Toyota for original CSP says campaign or recall inspection. I do not know if there was a formal RECALL). This Customer Support Program was extended multiple times. The last extension expired 1/27/22. We took our vehicle in for service / repair while this CSP (Customer Service Program) was still active when Toyota notified us. When we took our 2014 Camry in for service our car was not showing signs of "shudder'. Our 2014 Toyota Camry developed a "SHUDDER" related to the torque converter / transmission on or about 3/29/2022. We scheduled service with our local Toyota dealership 4/7/2022. We were told we were not covered for this $2,500 Defective Part repair as their CSP had expired 2 months ago. This is a SAFETY issue. Toyota recognizes the issue as they have already extended their CSP multiple times. I’m told this Shudder will continue to worsen where my car will be undriveable. Will this happen while I’m on a crowded freeway? Toyota was aware of this defective part yet chose NOT to go with a SAFETY recall. They went with a "Customer Support Program" to save cost over lives. SAFETY FIRST. We were NOT notified of subsequent extensions, or we would have taken our vehicle in for service checks. Toyota is choosing profit over safety. Case # 220406001119 / 220406000716

I have experienced issues with my vehicle when shifting since 2017 withal minor “shudder” after shifting into a higher gear. Now, my vehicle has begun to have trouble shifting from first gear to second. When shifting, the vehicle will abruptly stop before catching in second gear and continuing. It has become a concern as I am not confident to pull out onto busy roads.

Camry began to shudder under light acceleration 25-50mph and can be rather violent at times. Checked for a recall and noticed a service bulletin for a faulty torque converter but no recall. Contacted Toyota and they advised me that I was ONE MONTH past the extended service date which was out of my control as I had recently gotten it inspected and Toyota passed it without any issues. Given the fact that they passed it knowing it shudders and can have a transmission failure at any moment is a bad business practice and should be checked/reformed.

The contact owns a 2014 Toyota Camry. The contact stated while driving approximately 20 MPH, the vehicle started to shudder in first gear. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was towed to a local dealer where it was diagnosed with needing the torque convertor replaced however, the vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure and informed the contact that the vehicle was not included in a recall. The failure mileage was 144,857.

The contact owns a 2014 Toyota Camry. The contact stated while driving 35-40 MPH, the vehicle started shuddering. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact was able to continue driving; however, the failure reoccurred several times. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer where it diagnosed that the torque converter needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 149,000. The consumer stated the car does not downshift when the accelerator is lightly depressed at any speed to maintain that speed, even on cruise control.

Car shudders and low rates of speed. Same as everyone elses.. Software and torque converter. Someone needs to give in a recall this well known issue

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!

My vehicle’s radio buttons/screen no longer function along with the buttons on my steering wheel. This creates a problem as I use the hand free option on many occasions. It’s come to my attention I am not the only person this has happened to.

Torque Converter fail. Toyota is aware of 2014 Camry failure but doesn't want to help. https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2018/MC-10129984-9999.pdf

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.

My 2014 Camry has a vibration when driving. I took it to local Toyota dealership. They advised that the torque converter is bad and needs replaced. This is $2474 repair. While researching I noticed the 2012 & 2013 Camry had a recall for a bad torque converter. My car has 94K miles which I'm told its unusual for the transmission to go bad. I believe that Toyota should include the 2014 model year in the existing recall.

We own a 2014 Toyota Camry with 88k miles on it. First my wife noticed a shuddering feeling at the speeds of 40-50 miles. She said it was very seldom, she was not worried, she thought it could the road surface making noise. A few weeks later, when I drove it to a shopping center, I noticed transmission shuddering and vibration in the car. A days later took it to the local Toyota service center, they run a diagnostics with an expensive $115 (even though it was obvious that it was a transmission problem). The service told me that it is the torque converter issues and said it is very common for 2012-2014 Toyota Camry. He mentioned that there has been an extended warranty for 8 years or 150k miles which every comes first. The service guy told me that my Camry passed the warranty about 2 months even though the mileage was about 88k, and they can't help with the cost. He suggested I should call Toyota Corp. office and open a case. I did it and explain the issue to Toyota Corp. guy. A few days later a Toyota rep called me and said he is sorry to say that he can't do anything, it is now my problem, I have to pay the repair bill (in the range of $2000) since the warranty passed only two months. Toyota is not covering this problem even though the problem is their fault since it is a mechanical/production problem, not related to a driver. Toyota only issued a technical bulletin for this problem, no recall at all. My Camry has only 88K miles on it and not covered it with the warranty. I find it not fair to penalize people who drives their cars at minimum and not have high mileage. If I have driven this car and put more miles, torque converter problems could have started earlier within the mileage limit. Toyota should recall all 2012-2014 Camry and fix the torque converters without any mileage limitations since it is their fault to put a defective transmission in their car.

The contact owns a 2014 Toyota Camry. The contact stated while driving at speeds exceeding 20 MPH, the vehicle would not properly accelerate while depressing the accelerator pedal. Occasionally, the vehicle would lose motive power. The cause of the failure was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer and local dealer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 52,000.
