Not one of Toyota's best IMO
TBF, they did do a Warranty Enhancement program (which has since expired)
Warranty Enhancement Program – ZE5 (2012-2014 Camry)

- Primary Coverage offers warranty enhancement until April 30, 2016 with no mileage limitation.
- After the Primary Coverage period ends, the Secondary Coverage is applicable for 8 years from the date of first use or 150,000 miles, whichever occurs first.

took our 2013 rav 4 in for trans shifting problem . didnt know about this program . car had 120k and under 8 years old. they didnt tell us a thing about the etended warranty on the trans/ tourque converter. they changed the fluid and the problem went away. now at 151k -its back and too late. this dealer is a known scumbag

They completely ignored horrid issues on 2017 AWD vehicles. Toyota does that in order not to hurt image.
But, VW water pump…

I watched that, but didn’t catch what the real issue was. To me, it seems like Toyota was PWM’ing the lockup to smooth things out, with the (completely expectable) result of the lockup clutch wearing out? That’s a swag on my part. Aisin transmissions tend to be long haulers.
I have noticed that my Toyota’s were always quick to unlock the TQ though. It’s like they know the clutch is weak. Maybe they don’t PWM it, and they really aren’t rated for full engine torque. All I know is, a lot of work to fix something that shouldn’t be a problem—lockup TQ’s have been around for a few decades now…

I would imagine most PWM the converter lock up
It’s just applied too soon IMO for cafe reasons and is obviously harder on them
How is too soon harder on the clutch? its likely below torque peak. And at part throttle just how much torque is it transferring?
I wonder if they don’t have full engagement at low rpm, instead they always have pwm, and that is the shudder, it is grabbing and then slipping, instead of some partial but continuous slip. I would think to use pwm to apply in a slow manner to avoid shock, but end in 100% pwm / full lock in short order. Maybe too much nvh at low rpm.
I don’t understand why they wouldn’t have just fixed it. I thought they make revenue from Toyota corporate for doing this kind of work, and given the market, it seems they would be desperate for this type of work.
because this dealership is crooked and known to be so. they add 3000$ to the sticker price of every car for a "lifetime warrenty " you have no choice but to pay it or not buy the car. of course the provisions of this warranty require you to get all scheduled maintance done at this dealership. so they get you comming and going. we did not buy this car there but its only a few blocks away.
