Toyota Transmission FAIL at 118k?? (14 Sienna AWD U660F)

Toyota Transmission FAIL at 118k?? (14 Sienna AWD U660F)

This 2014 Toyota Sienna AWD apparently just STOPPED MOVING on the highway.
Can’t go forward or backward. It’s a BEACHED WHALE at 118k miles!!

Let’s diagnose the issue and see if the customer is out of luck.

I also do a quick diag on a Nissan XTerra that has a transmission problem, and compare the symptoms.

Id take a kia sedona with the 3.3 and the six speed auto in it. That's a pretty good power train ( same as eric o) other than the timing issue you saw in that hyundai. The 6 speed and 8 speeds in 15 and up sedonas are great. Id take that van over a sienna

Personally, I like cars with dipsticks.

I wish that my T6 Volvo XC70 had a manual transmission!

Ivan, check the input speed sensor does it have output with the selecter in any forward gear. If no, stripped splines on turbine shaft? If yes broken parts. easy check from the drivers seat.

My work truck is a 96 Dodge Ram 2500 with the twelve valve Cummins TD with a five speed manual. Rock solid and reliable.

Manual transmissions for me too where possible more common in Australia than the US but still getting harder to find on later models. I taught my daughters to drive and get their licenses in manuals and they all own manual cars that is pretty rare for most women usually. I bought a Honda CRV auto so others in my family can use it and don't like it's 5 speed auto regretting it already .

My model of car had a bad habit of the tranny cooler in the radiator breaking and mixing the coolant and tranny fluid. I couldn’t put an external cooler on fast enough.

CVT transmission is not bad, just need to do the flush and use the original fluit, change every 40.000 Thousand miles,

This is so unfortunate to see. I have a 2010 Lexus is 350 at 160k miles with the a760e transmission. I have codes p2714 and P0761 (Shift solenoid C and pressure control solenoid D). I've only had these codes populate 2 times since December and the two times were at the exact same spot 1 minute from my house on a cold day. Based on the 2015 Camry and this video, I'm almost certain my transmission is toast even though the transmission feels and shifts through all the gears fine. It's a little rough when warming up but it's buttery smooth after a few minutes. I have an appointment soon with a local transmission shop. They are going to check the transmission filter condition and look for anything that doesn't belong there. I feel stuck since these transmissions are so expensive to rebuild or replace. So much for Toyota reliability.

Scotty said this is fake news.

TOYOTA SIENNA A CVT TRANSMISSION ? THE CVT ARE ALL GARBAGE IN MY OPINION THEY SHOULD GO BACK TO SYNCHRO GEARS

Duane Buck says:

I find it sadly ironic that since they came out with the new energy efficient transmissions that are supposed to be so great for improving mileage, the level of problems with them grenading and failing has gone through the roof. Yeah, your multi speed transmission is great – until it isn't, and then you are stuck with a boat anchor and a massive replacement bill.

The NISSAN "pink milkshake of death". (est 2005 to 2010 Frontier/XTerra w/the 4.0L V6 and auto tranny). I've got an '09 Frontier 4WD 4.0L, but it's a 6 speed manual.
