1 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 12/03/2019

Bought the car used and the car ran well but now the transmission went out. It would slip from time to time but now is out completely. Which seems to be very mysterious. I was searcjing to see how commo. The problem is or has been. I thought there might. Have been recalls on the transmission but didn't see any. . .

2 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 01/01/2014

I was not notified of a recall for a condition that allows the key to be removed with the transmission still in drive. I have experienced several events when I turned off the vehicle, removed the key and it started to roll away due to the transmission being in drive.

3 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 11/15/2003

Loud knocking heard from front right of vehicle. Toyota service department determined cause to be a bad cv joint. Additionally, during a routine engine oil change, I discovered an unusually large amount of beading sludge that had to be removed by hand to drail and fill the oil. I have read reports of the Toyota engines producing sludge and I would like to know how I go about getting this fixed on their recall if one occurs.
