| Description of the problem | Intermittent shudder : i experienced shuddering in my vehicle during 25--50 mph speed and shuddering is heavy when i drive uphill roads and in snow. When happens i felt vibration on the gas pedal and slight vibration on steering wheels and car will not move under normal gas pedal press. I took to the dealer under toyota warranty they replaced torque converter and added couple of pan magnets to collect debris from transmission , but the problem still exist. I informed toyota customer service since then i went to the dealer four more times for the issue but they could not fix the problem. I was told press gas pedal harder when shuddering occurs , but that will lead to an accident and put the driver and passenger harms way. During snow the possibility of accident will be much higher i have to press the gas pedal harder and that will lead to an spinoff and accidents. Finally i was told by toyota the issue is not torque converter and i have to drive the way it is. I do not agree with them and i want toyota to recall and fix this shuddering issue before put someone's life in danger.
