Can you hear it trying to pump? Take a stick pin and clean out the windshield spray orifice. It is an older car and these things tend to plug if not used .

I think it is about time toyota entered the crossover market aggressivly, Nissan has the murano and honda has the crv. I think toyota brings some real competition to the plate.

I have never flushed my tranny, I do drain and fill every oil change (2 qts.) The cost doesn't bother me around $5.95 a qt. I also installed a tranny cooler which helps alot as far as fluid life. The fluid always drains bright red and I intend to keep it that way. ;)

Winter tires make a huge difference in the snow.

Sounds like the amplifier, Have it tested. If you find you need one I can get one .

When was the last time it was drained and filled ? I do not trust tranny flushes, I would drain and fill(2 qts.) Toyota T4 ATF. The only way to change all the fluid @ once is if you disconnect the tranny hose that goes through the bottom of drivers side of the radiator and place it in a bucket, Then take the exit hose from the pass. side of the radiator and connect it to a large resevoir with a extention hose and fill it with tranny fluid, Start the car and let the normal circulation of the fluid pump out the old and suck in the new. It is changed when the exit hose fluid runs bright red. Hope this helps you. It helps with 2 people performing this.
