   There is a transmission shudder when traveling around 30-40 MPH as well as sporadically when increasing speed. Recently, there is a very hard shift/jolt when transmission is shifting from 2nd to 3rd. The issue is caused by a combination of a faulty torque converter and a software glitch in the engine control module (ECM). This is a safety hazard, and I contacted Toyota dealership in Vineland who told me that they can't do anything. However, to fix the problem that Toyota…

    The AC Compressor failed right before the average life of the average AC Compressor. And if you look at Toyota Camry from 2012 thru 2013, there were recalls on AC Compressors, so I find it hard to believe it is a coincidence that the 2014 AC Compressor failure shouldn't also have a recall just like 2012 and 2013. It sounds to me like Toyota is not being honest here.

    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…
