Buyers warning for new Land Cruiser V8 TDi with 6sp automatic transmission

by "Willem-Jan Markerink" <w.j.markerink@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Feb 27, 2008 at 08:26 PM

Seems to be a structural defect in the programming (or even design) of both
****fting and lockup system, leaving both 6th gear and lockup out until
120km/h, resulting in annoying high rev's & much higher fuel consumption..

Some discussed here:

http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/100scool/message/11215
(only after subscription, sorry....;))
(there is a 130/140scool list in that hierarchy too, but without any
listfeed)

But mostly here:

http://forum.buschtaxi.org/viewtopic.php?t=18424

http://forum.buschtaxi.org/viewtopic.php?t=18133

http://forum.buschtaxi.org/viewtopic.php?t=18436

(last 3 only in German, sorry....;))


(synopsis: neither Toyota Australia/Austria/Europe/Japan have any clue,
other than being a master in ignoring client complaints, and at least one
vehicle is now back at the dealer, with a 2-month deadline being set for
solving the problem, or taking the vehicle back)

(a transmission expert down under stated that only massive client
pressure/complaints worldwide would force Toyota in changing
anything....as usual)

is sometimes far less intelligent than
     the inability to understand
