What happened?! Transmission??

I have yet to hear of a transmission failure due to low fluid. I believe Toyota knows of this issue and deems it a nonissue.

 

low fluid leads to overheating

 

True but, we have no proof his transmission is low.

 

i'm not here trying to diagnose anyone nor am i psychic. just putting up things to consider or look for. right?

 

If you go to the dealership, don't tell them you overloaded the truck. They'll make you pay for that shit.

 

Sounds like you need to go to the dealership. Go to Joseph Toyota on Colerain Ave. They are much better on service and getting the job right then the clowns over at Performance Toyota in Fairfield. Hopefully you are going to UC or Xavier, they are close to Joseph.

 

Because it's the solution. Look at countless threads of people have problems with their autos vs the manuals.

 

exactly never say more than you have to

 

over a million of them do everyday. one didnt. whats your point?

 

There are plenty of dipsticks around these parts.

 

I go to Miami U, so its not too far away. Joseph Toyota doesn't have any open appointments in the near future on Fridays/weekends (when I don't have classes), so I made an appointment with Kings Toyota. Its on Saturday morning, so we will see what happens and what goes on...

 

I guess they don't teach common sense at Colleges these days. take it to the Dealer you got a thing called a Warranty,

 

Already have an appointment!

 

good idea

 

Sensitive are we?

 

Did they ever?

 

I’d try to drop it off on a week day and get a ride to class. Pretty sure the good techs don’t work weekends.

 

Dude. @St.Germain is one of the most helpful members on this forum. Stand down sir.
And the half a quart they don't put in for the cooler does make a difference.

 

The issue is, its 45 minutes from school... Ill see what I can do, and I don't have classes on Friday's so that may work.

I was planning on dropping the truck off and just walking around until they give me a call, but I assume they wouldn't fix it the day I drop it off

Edit: Do you or anyone know how it works with things being covered under warranty? Like would the dealership loose money off fixing it, or does Toyota reimburse the dealership or something?
