Hey I drive a Camry 2013 le . I’ve put 100,000 miles on the vehicle since I first got it 3 years ago . And I’m aware that overtime things need changing. I like to handle as they come before they become bigger issues . For the past year and some change , going past 40 mph, I “sometimes” feel like I’m going over the middle strip of the road , but the street can be smooth and new. And it shakes car . As of recently I’m getting a cricket l/whistling on the expressways . I tried to upload video but it won’t allow . Any suggestions? It’s not break pads, rotors or wheel bearing because I just changed those … ---

For the past year and some change , going past 40 mph, I “sometimes” feel like I’m going over the middle strip of the road Which one, wait a year or fix as they come up ? Try rotating tires, could be a tire coming apart. Fronts to rear/rears to front. See if the symptoms move. ---

Well within the last year I’ve replaced 3 tires ---

Why 3 tires and not 4? Does this mean you have 3 tires of one brand and type of tire and the 4th another? ---

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) Unfortunately, if it wasn’t done by the previous owner, it appears that the fix will no longer be free. ---

Putting up with a problem for a year does not sound like ( handling things as they come ). ---

> [@Dee\_Sweat](#): > > going past 40 mph, I “sometimes” feel like I’m going over the middle strip of the road , but the street can be smooth and new. That sounds like torque converter shudder. There is a Customer Support Program for the torque converter, the warranty has been extended to 8 years/150,000 miles. > [@Dee\_Sweat](#): > > As of recently I’m getting a cricket l/whistling on the expressways . There is a service bulletin to address a high pitched noise from the transaxle at highway speeds, a modified shift cable has been developed to reduce the noise to the vehicles cabin.
