This transmission failure came out of the blue and my car isn't even covered for it because my warranty expired at 75,000 miles. Contacted toyota usa and they…

Sudden lost in speed weather it's to slow down or after coming to a stop happens infrequently usually having me to pull over turning of car and turning back on to correct the issue. Major concerns are when on the highway with traffic going anyware from 45 to 75 miles per hour having the car loose speed to less than 15mph is a real danger

The car failed to accelerate properly when entering the highway. It would not exceed 45 miles per hour. Toyota is aware of this transmission problem as they had previously issued a service campaign bulletin to address the faulty transmission. However, they have since suspended the recall leaving drivers who are experiencing this problem at risk. The only apparent solution is to replace the transmission at a cost of…
