Premature transmission failure on my 2002 Toyota Tundra pickup truck. This vehicle had regular maintenance and currently has 67,000 miles on it. The transmission shop that I took it to says this premature failure is a common occurrence on 2000 to 2002 Tundras and requires complete rebuild of the transmission. I have never owned an american made vehicle that required any transmission work until well over 100,000 miles.
Automatic transmission failure, truck was not abused, well maintained, trans fluid was changed several times and always clean. Very dissappointed in having to replace. Have driven 3 Toyota's over 200,000 miiles with no transmission problems. Have heard of other trans failure in this year and model. Only 12 months warranty on replacement.
