NHTSA Complaint #11474568 — 2014 TOYOTA CAMRY

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.
