This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Automatic transmission failed at 69,500 mark. Ook car into dealer and thought it was noisy brakes. Rove about 100 more miles and something broke. The transmission almost seized, could of caused an accident.
While driving consumer heard noise coming from underneath the hood. Took vehicle to the dealer for analysis, and mechanic noticed that transmission needed to be replaced due to oil and coolant mixed in together.
While my usual mechanic was performing preventive maintenance on the automatic transmission at 64,500 miles, he discovered a large, bent bolt in the transmission fluid pan which was not there when the transmission was last serviced at 39,000 miles. He did not note any metal shavings, etc. And the car runs fine. He was not able to determine where the bolt came from. However, this is an obvious concern and I would like to know what Toyota has to say about it and whether it is likely to cause a transmission problem or failure.
