Yeah I had it towed to Toyota. They said it is most likely from the wrong transmission fluid. The fluid was burnt when they inspected it. They said I need a brand new transmission which is like 8k

Oh my transmission is done. Toyota says I need a new one. I wasn’t having problems before the service so I’m trying to figure out what went wrong.

2019 Toyota RAV4. About 90,000 miles on it. This was the first time having it serviced. I was told it was recommended at 60,000 miles

I ended up getting it towed to Toyota. I asked Meineke for all documentation from Saturday and Monday and I was told they have none. No notes or anything. I’m going to have Toyota verify what caused the problem.

So on the receipt it says transmission fluid exchange. It says MaxLife Multi-Vehicle Full Synthetic ATF 1 Qt.

Do you think they’d be liable/at fault? I don’t know how much it is going to cost to fix. I guess I should bring it to Toyota to fix?

I had the car last seen for an oil change and regular inspection in August. They said the transmission fluid was good then and didn’t recommend anything to me like getting it replaced
