Description of the problem | Transmission failure. Transmission was experiencing torque converter shudder. Dealer replaced original torque converter at ~106,000 miles under warranty enhancement. After replacement the transmission developed a vibration between 30-40 mph. Took car back to servicing dealer (hoselton toyota in east rochester, ny) and was told transmission had failed and that replacement was not covered by the warranty enhancement. Dealer has made the claim that the failure is not related to the torque converter replacement or torque converter shudder. They are claiming a faulty transmission cooler is to blame for the failure. Time elapsed between original warranty repair and diagnosis of out-of-warranty transmission failure was less than 3 months. At time or original repair the dealer did not diagnose any other faulty components and did not make recommendations for replacement of any transmission or related components. |
