UA80 E/F Drivability Complaints and Subsequent Lawsuits
Owners of 2017 and up Highlanders and Sienna models starting experiencing noises, harsh shifts, malfunction indications and reduced power. These issues lead to several Class Action lawsuits which prompted Toyota to issue numerous TSBs and the ZJC Customer Support Program. The ZJC Customer Support Program only covers a small number of 2017 & 2018 UA80 transmissions.
Similar, if not the same, issues that the ZJC Customer Support Program cover continue to occur in later model years of Highlander and Sienna models. This is leaving customers to believe the scope is larger than what Toyota is indicating.
In December 2024, Gears Magazine published an article shedding some light into the cause of the UA80 drivability issues.
The main focus is the drive gear assembly support bearing area where the retaining nut comes loose and allows the transfer gear to move.
