Starting to get pissed !! I did not buy a 4R with used parts, took 4R in to report issue at 4Kmi.
Now at 13K they want to replace my tranny with a used one that had only the defect fixed regardless of miles on it. Fot all that I know I could be etting a tranny with 50Kmi on it. This is totally unacceptable !! Told dealer i wanted a new tranny, said none were available, replied"
" Then what are they putting in new a 4R at the factory "" !!

none available???? ok, mine has 4k miles on it, you take it and give me a new one off the lot. either new tranny, or new truck. end of story.
 
This sounds like a "contact Toyota Customer care" and "get a second opinion elsewhere" case. I would not accept a used tranny on a 4000 mile old truck. How long have you had the truck? and how come it took them 9000 miles to figure out the tranny needs changed?

Okki
 
Not cool at all!

I see your from PA, what dealer is this if you want to share, and what problems are you having?
 
Maybe if it was a factory rebuilt tranny it would be better than a factory new because it has been gone through thoroughly?!

Get them to double the drivetrain warranty!

This!

^^^^^^I second that^^^^
 
i think you should call toyota customer care.

i dont think receiving a used/fixed transmission is by any stretch of the imagination an acceptable solution to your problem.

they should be replacing the transmission with a new one especially when it has 4000miles on it and the problem was not your own fault.

i think the dealer isnt treating you well or not trying hard enough.
 
want to try another dealer?

Originally told me it was new from factory, then I was told none were available so a repaired
tranny would be used.I asked was it rebuilt, they said no, one removed from another 4R with same issue, sent to repair facility and problem fixed with upgraded parts.

I'd have a one word answer for the dealer when he proposed that: Nope.
 
I assume the transmission is under warranty, correct?

If so, I would be asking for them to show the portion of the warranty which states that they can replace something that fails with a used/repaired/rebuilt unit.

No f-ing way, dude. Stick to your guns. Tell them you'd like to have 100% confidence in your vehicle, but also 100% confidence in the people who are repairing it, without cutting corners.
