This is a classic situation in which you either don't return because you don't know that you didn't get all the steps performed or just are to tired of it all that you convince yourself that it's 'fixed'.......until 10,000 miles after warranty. Then the dealer takes a renews interest with a laundry list of Trans repairs.
B. Sure "it happens" I agree. They've had years to figure this out. As a core
Drivetrain component things like a TC spewing metal are found out fairly soon. It seems that they it's tried flui change and fill (factory directed 3 times fill n dump) in the earlier years of symptoms and now they have a programming AND full fluid change in their new TSB. They're throwing ideas at getting these cars just to the end of drivetrain warranty. AND the dealers aren't doing the fluid change part if it. Yikes! Next version of this TSB will have red letters (for those who have seen a real toyota TSB) that say MUST change ATF to wake up the dealer to what they should have read in the first place.
You sure like to speculate.
