Hi all,
I was just informed yesterday by service techs at my local Toyota dealership that my automatic transmission had totally failed. Not only had it "burned up" but actual metal pieces and parts were worn out. The truck has 112,000 miles but has always been serviced regularly at the same dealership. Has anyone ever had this happen before?
Strangely enough there was not one warning sign before it went. No gear slipping, no smells, no sounds. It went from driving perfectly sunday morning to unable to climb out of my driveway a few hours later.
I've owned nothing but Toyotas since 1987 and this is the first major problem. Not bad, huh? However, it is still deflating to have to replace a tranny at such a relatively young "Toyota" age.
Anyone want to make me feel better about this? :)
Phil
