> [@GiselleM.Scott](#): > > over treads beside the highway Huh? What are you calling “treads” How many miles on this Camry, what engine, is the check engine light on, how long has this doing this, have you recently had new tires??? Questions we need some answers for to help. ---

I think by ’ treads ’ they mean the rumble strips to alert that the driver has wandered off the highway onto the shoulder. ---

That could be a shudder from the torque converter. This service campaign appears to be relevant: [https://techinfo.toyota.com/techInfoPortal/staticcontent/en/techinfo/html/prelogin/docs/cp/e03tofaq.pdf](https://techinfo.toyota.com/techInfoPortal/staticcontent/en/techinfo/html/prelogin/docs/cp/e03tofaq.pdf) ---

> [@GiselleM.Scott](#): > > transmission problem maybe? It is very possible that this is an indication of a problem with the torque converter lockup mechanism, so–yes–this could well be a transmission problem.
