problem #2

May 202010

4Runner

  • 63,000 miles
Transmission had to be replaced on late 2007 Toyota 4runner with only 63,000 miles on it. Additionally, oil pan system had to be replaced. Toyota claimed it was aftermarket parts, yet Toyota is has regularly changed the oil and performed all maintenance on the vehicles as records show. Toyota covered the cost of the transmission but charged the customer labor despite being out of warranty, which makes the customer think this is a known issue with the year and model.

The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 35000 and the current mileage was 51340. Updated 2/17/10 updated 02/22/10
