As a diehard Toyota fan, I have to say, I'm extremely annoyed that my transmission has failed at only 205K miles. Especially, since I have taken the precautions to maintain and upkeep this vehicle. I have performed fluid replacements every 30K miles, had documented services prior to purchasing used and I don't tow anything other than a small flatbed trailer approx. three times every in town to move. Far from "being abused" in any way. This repair was beyond the value of the vehicle at $6,362.23 but I went ahead and had the transmission replaced with a remanufactured one. I'm desperately hoping this is the last major repair or replacement for the next 150k + miles.
