My toyota sienna is a 2020, has 83,000 miles and has recently been squealing when i accelerate. i took the van to a local body shop and they said it seems to be my transmission. i called toyota immediately and they knew that the transmissions were faulty and that they would try to work with toyota to get it fixed. there is no way i can pay 9k for a new transmissions because they put in faulty ones.
