Hey Scotty,
I have a 2014 RAV4 Limited with 95k miles, the torque converter has just been replaced under extended warranty.
Would this issue have caused damage to the transmission in general?
Bottom line... Should I keep the vehicle or get rid of it?

It depends on how you took care of the vehicle originally. I would get rid of it and try to make some money off it because you only got about 100k.
The vehicle has been regularly serviced, oil changed every 5k miles, transmission fluid is original but would it be changed with the Torque Converter replacement?
My faith in Toyota is a bit shaken to be honest... but I have been looking at a Rav4 Prime SE.
It that's the only thing that was replaced, then you would be fine.
what was the TC problem?
Slight shudder at 10-25 MPH apparently a faily common problem... an extended warranty program is available 8 years or 150k miles whatever comes first.
The shudder is like a 50% force rumble strip.
Still not sure on what to do... I have no idea if that bad Torque Converter may have damaged the intervals of the transmission.
I'd like to drive this vehicle into the ground it's 7 years old; I had 15 years of use in mind but I'm very concerned about this issue. I'd rather not spend thousands on a new vehicle BUT I definitely don't want to replace a transmission.
