Your case described in OP sounds to me more like VERY bad luck, or that your dealership techs managed to botch something during replacement (as 2nd low-mileage TOB failure is way less statistically probable). I'd just double check when ordering replacement if it's new .. and possibly replace at other shop  . But witch hunt against toyobaru imho is excessive. |
Dropping the transmission is not the same as taking the wheel off...?
In a way, I must be lucky that it failed before the warranty, and that my dealer service department is quite amazing.
