After dropping the transmission pan it was determined that the pan had several clumps of metal shavings and the transmission has to be replaced. This is an egregious mechanical failure on a vehicle with low…

At 80,000 miles my transmission needs to be replaced . I have never abused this vehicle in any form and feel that toyota should reimburse the many thousands of owners who seem to be having the same problems with this model. For the amount of money these vehicles cost it only seems fair that toyota should be forced to stand behind their products. *tr

I bought my truck and about three weeks ago i was driving along when it died. Anytime i came to a full stop it died. Turns out it's the transmission and a lot of other people have had the same problem. Toyota refuses to issue a recall on their planetary gear even though it malfunctions. This failure caused my truck to stop in a busy intersection and almost killed me. *tr
