| 2007 scion tc standard automatic. the rpm will decrease by about 2 numbers randomly while driving. speed does not seem to be a factor. happens about every other day. this in turn causes my car to slow down when i do not want it to. is an issue when i am driving on the interstate in heavy traffic. | |||

| I was driving down the highway in my 2007 scion tc and the car popped out of gear and began to rev-up. i then tried to put it back into gear and it was very loose and would not go. my mechanic told me the top of the shifter base broke off and must be a defect. this is very dangerous and must be investigated. *tr | |||

| The clutch assembly wore down prematurely and began to slip in every gear but first. the symptoms were sudden and immediately noticeable. i brought the vehicle to be inspected by the dealership from which it had been purchased. i was told the entire assembly needed to be replaced, but it was not covered under warranty because clutches are subject to normal wear and tear. i commute 70 miles every day under highway driving conditions and do very little stop-and-go driving. i also do not engage in driving habits conducive to excessive wear and tear on a clutch which would cause premature failure. as such, i consider it more likely that the parts were faulty. *tr | |||
