 I started experiencing shifting problems, but the dealer couldn't fix it.  While turning on a busy 4 lane highway, the transmission went out.  I do not abuse this car (I am too old to beat any car up).  Now I have a $4000 bill for a new transmission.  I have found out that this has been a problem for other owners but Toyota will not acknowledge or take car of their problems.  Other than that the motor ran well and I got good mileage, but I would never buy another one.
