Sign In Hello. I took my 2005 Toyota Highlander in a few days ago due to a bad alternator and dead battery. After replacement of the alternator and battery, the dealership told me that during a test drive they determined the transmission went bad. I have had no previous transmission issues. They tried replacing the transmission with a used one which was defective. Now they want to try a second used transmission. I suspect they at the shop did something wrong and are not admitting it. Could the bad alternator have caused the transmission to fail? Thanks.

Sign In Thanks for the reply. The dealer says they really don't know what caused the problem The mechanic says it might have something to do with the solenoid, but they are the supposed experts and can't tell me for sure. I feel I'm being held hostage. Any advice you can offer? Thanks Hammer Time Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Dec 30, 2019, 5:50 PM Post #4 of 4 (883 views) Re: Bad alternator cause transmission issues? Sign In The only advice I can offer is unless they are picking up the tab, get it out of there and get it to a trans specialist. Let them tell you if it was caused by the dealer and then you can go after them for the cost of repair. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
