thanks, rr70
Thank you
I was also told that when my dealer called Toyota that this was a known problem and they fixed it on warranty and I have had no problems since.
Thank you
I want to ask you about a problem I had with my '09 Venza 2.7 4 cyl, 63000 miles.
When I started it after a 12h parking(so the engine is cold) and put it in Drive car wasn't moving properly(I had 2000-2500 RPM but it was hardly moving, sorry for repetition). But after awaiting for 2-3 min with engine running everything becomes OK and then I don't have any problems with driving until next long-time parking.
I'm not an expert but it seems like not enough pressure in automatic gearbox. I can't check the transmission fluid level because it has no dipstick.
Thank you!
Transmission Shifting into Reverse: Randomly when I get into the car, start the car and try to shift into reverse, the transmission will not allow it to shift at all. Have to vigorous move the steering wheel back and forth, restart the ignition and then it seems to help get it into reverse. Has happend a dozen times in last 4 months. This is a random occurence.
Electrical Warning Lights: Randomly the Brake, the ABS and the Slip Indicator warning lights light up. Does it randomly during day or night, dry or wet, flat or incline.
Blue Tooth: My iPhone used to sync automatically when I entered car with the phone. Now I have to enter my passcode every time.
Transmission Shifting from first to second: Big noticable clunk in transmission noise from first to second.
I really like the Venza. Dealer checked the warning lights situation and said " everything checked out." They went on to say it's hard to diagnose if it's not happening when vehicle is in shop.
What really concerns me is that in reading through all your blogs and messages here that this is happening to several people and that 1) dealers aren't able to help and 2) Toyota knows about this and is not helping.
Please let me know what you know. Thanks.
ATF volume expands a fairly great amount with a rise in temperature.
With size/volume of the ATF sump having already been reduced, by design, to the absolute minimum for purposes of FE, even a slight underfill could result in these problems, especialy on COLD weather conditions.
The actual factory fill level may even be selective based on ship destination, Canada/Alaska = COLD = higher fill level.
Anyone else seen this?
They said that with the light permanently ON, past weeks it was intermittent, means the AWD feature of the vehicle is disabled.
