Consumer Description

I HAVE JUST HAD THE TRANSMISSION ON MY 2002 SEQUOIA FAIL. COST WAS $3200 AT AAMCO, PLUS $200 FOR A CAR RENTAL. EVERY FORUM I GO ON I FIND AT LEAST 8-10 OWNERS WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM, OD PLANETARY GEAR FAILURE. SO ONE HAS TO WONDER WHY TOYOTA HAS NOT HAD A RECALL. AAMCO TOLD ME THE NEW PART WAS AN IMPROVED VERSION. THIS IMPLIES THAT TOYOTA IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. I'M THINKING OF TALKING TO A LAWYER ABOUT LOOKING INTO A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. I'M VERY DISGUSTED. *TR
