Anyways, are transmissions a common issue with that model? Maybe check a forum for that specific model.

If I were you, don't give up until they cover the entire thing. It's barely out of warranty and far before a reasonable failure mileage.

Funny some guy on my 4Runner form was asking about 07 4Runners and if he should buy them I told him no and discussed my issues. the mod got on my case becasue I told him not to buy one; we talk about people drinking kool aid around here, good lord the Toyota kool aid must be really sweet!
