My 07 4Runner with 62k on it transmission blew up today. Car has been babied, also just paid it off a few months ago.

Good thing I bought a Toyota!


F...me.

What did the dealership say?

It should have a 5yr/60k mile powertrain warranty. Being out of warranty by only 2k miles, Toyota should not give you too much grief over having them pay for the repair. Unless they find evidence of abuse. The dealership should be happy to call the regional Toyota folks to request authorization to replace it no charge. If they don't, call them yourself (calmly) and explain the issue, and I bet they'll pay for it.

Which engine do you have, the v8 or v6?
