| Description of the problem | 94,000 miles awd venza with rear differential transaxle leak. Vent on the axle meant to release pressure when oil heats up, clogs with debris and fail. Since the system can not vent, it ruins the seals and coupling. Dealer estimate of $3,000 to repair. This is a major design flaw and would expect more from toyota. |
