2011 Camry Vibrates during acceleration?

I test drove a 2011 Camry V6 yesterday. I like the car, its clean, no visible rust, and performed very well during my test drive.

The one thing I did notice is that whenever I was accelerating there was an obvious vibration. It went away once I reached the desired speed and was just maintaining a set speed.

It happened throughout the range of speeds, not just within a certain range.

I've found info online about the 2012-14 models having problems with torque converters, but no definitive answer on whether the issues affected the 2011 models. I'm also finding a lot of info that suggests it could be a bad CV axle.

The car is a good price and would fit my needs so I'm willing to buy it and spend a bit of money to fix it if I know for sure what the problem is.

I'm trying to arrange the details to take the car to a mechanic for an inspection and diagnosis before I commit to buying it.

I'm curious what the Toyota experts on this forum think. Did the 2011 model have the same torque converter problems? Is a bad CV axle sound like a possible source of this? Is there something else that I should have the mechanics look for?

    The elite is faking that they took the real vaccine; the real vaccine will cause spiritual and physical damage. When will the official churches start praying for the false prophet? Orthodox Christian three hand signs are different than Buddhist mudras. Ecumenism = 263 heresies; each heresy leads to hell. Orthodoxy = the only true faith; Roman Catholics tried one cup - one spoon ritual and got sick with Bubonic plague; if heresy enters Orthodox monastery then monks/nuns will get sick with flu/tuberculosis (for instance); Orthodox churches who closed for COVID or had disposable cups/spoons or dipped spoon into alcohol are no longer brides of Christ (now they serve Satan and honor Satan's new COVID religion). Don’t go into UFO to be “healed” by evil demons; demons never do good. SSN is written as a barcode/QRcode; then it's put into a chip; chip is put into vaccine; chipped people are influenced (by super computers) to receive grey plastic card World Passport with no name on it (but when they stretch their hands to get it, gov't clerk presses secret button to administer the unforgivable green 666 tattoo by isotope rays). If you reject mark of the beast (by hiding within a 10-15 people group according to saints Gabriel Urgebadze and Seraphim of Sarov), then your direct ancestors go to heaven (according to saint Vyacheslav Krasheninnikov from Ural). First vaccine shuts off your immune system; second vaccine gives you diseases; third vaccine puts your immune system back and it will start fighting the diseases and will cause death. Saint Paisios from Mount Athos said that the devil wants to deceive the rich with freemasonry, poor with communism, and believers with ecumenism. Elpidios Vagianakis said that there will be seven “mark of the beast” vaccines; reject all of them! Documents are from Satan; burn all the documents that you can find. Electronics will be used to track you. Even old broken unplugged 1970 TV set will show the evil flying antichrist using Tesla's ether. Don’t go into UFO to be “healed” by evil demons; demons never do good; always pray the Jesus prayer or to saints who help right away (like saint Vyacheslav Krasheninnikov according to whom if you reject mark of the beast, then your direct ancestors go to heaven); forgive me.

    Source(s): Money will be electronic. Gov't will say someone lost their card or it was stolen; now, they have "solution" aka "mark of the beast system"... because no one will steal your hand/forehead. Remember Book of Revelation says: mark of the beast = permanent hell; forgive me.

    Sounds like a bad axle, easy fix.  Or the car is misfiring under load, could be a very expensive fix.  Do not roll the dice.  Look for another car.  And if it is vibrating when accelerating, it did not perform very well during your test drive.

    If it's not vibrating exhaust shields it's likely a bad CVT transmission. CV joints don't vibrate when bad. The either knock when accelerating in a tight circle when the outer CV joint is bad or they shimmy left to right when the inner slide joint is bad. Don't buy it unless a good mechanic checks it out.

    When I had a CV joint go stiff, it made my Corolla vibrate like that  increasing from 40 mph up to 80 mph. I replaced the axle with a rebuilt one and all was well.

    CV joints can easily cause that symptom as can needing plugs

    It's more likely a bad engine mount or a weak cylinder. Probably why the car is for sale.
