Two problems related to differential unit have been reported for the 2010 Toyota Venza. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2010 Toyota Venza based on all problems reported for the 2010 Venza.
94,000 miles awd Venza with rear differential transaxle leak. Vent on the axle meant to release pressure when oil heats up, clogs with debris and fail. Since the system can not vent, it ruins the seals and coupling. Dealer estimate of $3,000 to repair. This is a major design flaw and would expect more from Toyota.
Our 2010 Venza has 80k miles on it (powertrain warranty is 60k). After hearing a "whirring" noise from the rear of our vehicle, we had it inspected. There is a leak of fluid from the left axle seal where it meets the rear differential. The differential was opened and had adequate fluid but the fluid had metal fragments in it, indicating that the gears are grinding down. According to our mechanic he has seen this in other 2010 Venza's and online forums also indicate hundreds of people with this same problem. Worst case scenario - the gears could seize while driving and result in a potentially catastrophic accident.
