Pretty disgusting quality for the transmission to go at 94,000 miles.....We're done with the Toyota brand for good and I am going to be putting this out there everywhere. All that money saved on gas went out the window with this repair. Ande when I found out that this problem has been ongoing for years with Corollas, Vibes, etc., it's clear Toyota is no longer quality. Will never buy another one.Burn me once shame on you, burn me twice and I'd be a total idiot.
