The whine starts around 15 mph and fades around 65–70 mph, gets louder the harder I accelerate, and stops when I coast or shift to neutral. When I lift off the accelerator, it continues for about one second with a pulsing sound. Steering and a tire rotation do not change it.  On October 13, 2026, at 82,206 miles, a Toyota dealer test drove the vehicle and confirmed a whining noise from the transmission on acceleration. The dealer noted “possible internal wear from bearing,” found no trouble codes, and recommended replacing the transmission assembly at a cost of $8,015.09. At my request, the dealer also performed a transmission drain and refill with genuine Toyota WS fluid the same day, even though Toyota’s maintenance schedule does not require transmission fluid replacement under normal driving conditions. The whine was unchanged afterward.  No warning lights or messages have appeared, and the transmission has not slipped. However, owners of the same and similar Toyota models with this 8-speed transmission have reported sudden loss of power while driving after similar symptoms. I am concerned that the transmission could fail without warning in traffic or on the freeway, putting me and others at risk.  The vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacturer. I have opened a case with Toyota. The vehicle and transmission are available for inspection upon request.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2022","productMake":"TOYOTA","productModel":"CAMRY","manufacturer":"Toyota Motor Corporation"}]}]}
