    Toyota Kluger 2009: Whining sound from transmission?

    Toyota Toyota Advice Toyota Kluger Toyota Kluger Advice Toyota Kluger 2009

    My 2009 Toyota Kluger makes a whining sound like a jet taking off when accelerating around 60 km/h and 100 km/h and stops or is not as noticeable when my foot lifts off. My service provider said the transmission needs to be taken out and sent away for testing on parts and could cost $5000. Other forums state it happens a lot but usually under warranty. It has always been serviced since new. Should Toyota or the dealership help if this is the problem?

    Take it to another mechanic who knows Toyotas and have it assessed. I have seen reports of a whining noise coming from the front differential and transfer case. I doubt that it is the automatic transmission itself.
