Wanted to add my experience to this thread. I have a 2013 completely bone stock. Starting at about 10k on the clock I'd get occasional grinding downshifting to 5th above 60mph. At 12k it started getting worse very quick. At this same point it started grinding going into 6th when shifting at higher rpm.
I brought it to the dealer at 13k. AutoNation Toyots/Scion in Austin, Texas. Day one they say they can not reproduce the problem. That afternoon I go for a drive with the tech. He agrees there is a problem. Day two no contact from the dealer. I call in the afternoon and after 45 minutes I find out no one has touched the car. Day three Service Manager says car is fine. I escalate the problem to toyota who agrees with the dealer. I get the car back and I'm not happy.
After another 750 miles the 5th gear grind stays the same. 6th gear gets so bad that any shift into 6th above 55mph results in a huge grinding of gears. I just brought the car to another dealer, Round Rock Toyota. They are replacing the transmission as I write this. All of this happened over the last 6 weeks.
