The first transmission failed on an interstate highway going 65 miles per hour. The out of state Toyota dealer, Toyota West, in statesville, N.C., completely replaced our transmission and converter assembly. Within two and a half months the entire assembly failed again. Our local dealer, koons Toyota, replaced the transmission and converter again. This time they did not put a new transmission in but a rebuilt one. We were told no new transmissions were in the United States!

Malfunction indicator lamp (check engine light) came on at 64 miles and remains on. Gas tank not empty and gas cap is on securely. Dealer service center advised that this is due to an inaccurate transmission code being thrown, and I should continue driving the vehicle while they wait for a tsb from Toyota.

At 70 mph on a major freeway, the transmission completely gave out. No gear worked, the tachometer raced. A truck almost hit me in the rear end. With incredible luck I managed to get the car to the side of the road. Several more such failures over the next several miles caused me to get off the freeway and have the vehichle towed to the nearest Toyota dealer. With a great deal of luck, I am alive to file this report. It was very, very dangerous and scary and must be investigated. Service mangager reported that others have had similar problems.
