There are plenty of people trying to find an 86, and you can whine about some other car. Unless you paid over MSRP, or have high miles, you should be able to get most of you money back
It's nice to say "this is a minority don't worry about it" but all evidence leads me to believe this CAN affect EVERY owner, the service bulletin that was posted said it occurs when you up shift at redline for gears 3 through 6, this is NORMAL operation that most owners will do at some point during ownership and could occur during daily driving.

Worrying about it is completely normal, this thread SHOULD exist. I'll agree that calling for the crucifixion of Toyobaru is premature but if they don't have a reasonable solution to an actual problem it'll be a big blemish on the car and the companies.
