Consumer Description

BOUGHT THE CAR USED AT 145,000 MI. NOTICED THE CAR WAS NOT SHIFTING INTO OVERDRIVE AT ABOUT 160,000 MIS. TOOK CAR THE TOYOTA DEALER FOR REPAIR. AFTER $200 OF DIAGNOSTICS AND 3 DAYS THEY DETERMINED THE TRANSMISSION WAS BAD. THE CAR WILL SOMETIMES GO INTO OVERDRIVE AND SOMETIME IT WILL NOT CAUSING THE ENGINE TO REV TO 4000 TO 5000 RPM AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE PERFORMANCE. I HAVE READ HOW TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS ON THESE CARS CAN CAUSE UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITIONS AND NOW I DON'T KNOW WHETHER I CAN TRUST THE SAFETY OF DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS IN THIS CAR ON THE HIGHWAY. *TR
