What owners wrote
Transmission started to act up at around 40 MPH. Took it to certified transmission who in turn tried different parts, they even took to the toyota dealer for assistance with the problem. After over a month, they decided I should replace the transmission. Even after the new transmission certified transmission still was testing the car and would stall. The car never stalled before the new tranny. Certified finally called for me to pick up my car. I asked if he was sure it was safe and he said yes.
