here is my point:
a new car has 3 year warranty, if there is something wrong the operator/owner should have bought it to toyota for repairs, their techs are expert on their vehicles, so how come wala man ma uli sa original state ang transmission box as manifested by the lit up indicqators, so meaning it was done by an un-authorized mechanic who isnt familiar with the latest engine design..so i was suspecting that something is installed in the transmission box para madaya ang meter reading....have you noticed na grabe maka pa accelerate nang mga taxi drivers even on busy roads hala bira gihapon, dili man ta na inoras ilaha..so my interpretation is that the more the transmission turns fast due to fast acceleration, the more sad mo tuyok ang metro...
