Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I own a 2001 toyota highlander, 85000 miles. 3 weeks ago the transmission failed. i called the toyota dealership and was told they could not help me. i had a transmission shop rebuild the transmission and when taking it apart, they found 4 planetary gears that had sustained random breaking and chipping. this appears to be a quality issue. i have reported this to toyota at corporate and dealership levels and requested i be informed of any secret warranties that exist to cover this expense. i have not yet received a response.
