I have 2007 ES 350 with 145,000 miles. Last year started having transmission flares intermittently, couldn't duplicate at dealer. It went away completely for past 6-8 months and now started up again. My question is, is this symptom of a possible catestrophic failure or something I can live with so long as it is not happening often. Due to age of car I don't think I will keep more than another year and sure don't want to put money in it. I saw multiple posts about this problem but couldn't determine the severity of the problem or is it just a nuisance?
