Consumer Description
I am experiencing a turbine whining noise from my transmission while under load. This has been reported to be an issue that stem from incorrect assembly of the locking washer to the locking nut in the UA80F 8 speed transmission. Toyota only provided extended warranty to 2017-2018 vehicles but not all vehicles that were manufactured with the same exact transmission. This whine is a sign of premature transmission failure that can occur at any given time while driving which is an extreme safety hazard. Please do something to force Toyota to be held accountable of their poor manufacturing and fix this safety hazard via recall. There is a law suit from James LeBoutheller pertaining to this issue.
