Question about the dreaded UA80 transmission replacement.
Like several folks in this community, my vehicle was subject to its UA80 deciding to completely destroy itself under normal driving conditions, due to a manufacturing flaw. Toyota is replacing the transmission for me under coverage of a used car extended warranty.
My question is: when service installs the new or re-manufactured UA80 on my Highlander, will it still be prone to the same manufacturing defect and transmission failure, or have Toyota since revised the flaw?
Should I continue to drive the Highlander when it gets back to me, or should I try to get rid of it ASAP?
Thanks in advance for any helpful insights or experience you can share.
