When my transmission went out, the initial scan didn't reveal anything. The service mgr. looked further and found that a solenoid had been temporarily plugged by errant metal particles, and swapped out the tranny. Perhaps she is more knowledgeable than yours. Perhaps yours doesn't want to deal with a whiner whose incapable of a reasonable discussion, or some other reason.

Thanks for the advice, I was better off with my 3rd generation it seems like they fixed some of the issue's but I would not recommend this truck . I’m not here to say negative things but if I can stop someone from making the same mistake as I did at this point I’m happy with that. I know the dealer Ian’s Toyota are going to screw me. The guy that’s said I should sell my truck was right. Only problem is is I miss my old truck I have a truck that’s worth. More on paper. But they stopped taking trade as ins on the Tundra because of engine failure with the metal in the engine issue.Now it’s the transmission not my fault but I’m paying the price both ways. We will see what Regardless they should do a recall instead of waiting until I loose power to accelerate. And why did they no scan it when bi asked if my trucks vin was involved just because they don’t care that’s par for the course. Not to mention they hit me with 7.5 percent interest and I have perfect credit wait until tariffs and interest rates are combined delirious will be closing and it will be very expensive at the ones open. This is a warning as to what’s to come. More price gouging and being priced out of driving.

Perhaps you should watch your mouth. And I have an open in vote to shot the one with any of you who want to disrespect. I will destroy you you don’t know me. As nd you don’t know my style.
You take a serious situation and start to throw shame. Why did they not check my solenoid tensor? You scum how dare you throw dirt on my name .They obviously did not check that for me they told me no problem. I told them my only opinion is to film the next time I have no power. Come get some 🍀⚒👎🏽you will loose

It remains hard to understand you, and you don't seem to accept the advice and instructions that generally do well to solve problems.

You post was in mind yesterday when our German car under warranty air conditioning stopped working and we have a 1000 mi trip in 10 days. For sure it was upsetting to learn no service appointments until after that, but approaching it right, now I have the dealer seeing what they can do including getting it fixed at one of their other locations. With the right attitude and data from a past warranty repair that took too long I got a guy who is working for me and thankful for my not being angry or upset.

The all of it is just hard to understand. "hit me with 7.5 percent interest"???? I don't know how someone gets forced into something like that. Without incentives or subsidized sales I didn't have to do anything like that for my Tacoma. I just bought the thing.

Did you exceed your 5/60 powertrain warranty? If not, you have a warranty. If you want good results for warranties and about all customer service you have to approach it with the right attitude. That should not be hard to figure out.
