Why Ken Ganley Toyota Is the Go-To Toyota Dealer Near Pittsburgh

When a transmission malfunctions, the car can suddenly lose power or handle imprecisely, which puts you in danger on the road. Always respond quickly to the early warning signs of gearbox problems. If you experience the six issues below, get immediate transmission service at your Toyota dealership. Burning Fluid Smells Most transmission faults come down to the fluid. Transmission fluid lubricates the planetary gear systems and also maintains a high level of hydraulic pressure. Despite being very long-lasting, transmission fluid eventually starts to degrade and diminish, especially if it overheats or leaks. As transmission fluid problems develop, friction rises and the fluid starts to burn. You may smell this from the cabin above. more Clunking or Grinding Sounds The complex systems inside your transmission will emit odd clunking or grinding if the fluid's low or an important part has worn out. Issues with the gears, clutch, or torque converter might all cause metallic grinding noises. Automatic transmissions sometimes also whine or hum when in trouble. Vibrations and Jolting With low transmission fluid, friction builds and gears stop running as smoothly together, which causes vibrations. If something is interfering with gear engagement, your car might also jolt and shudder when you try to shift gears. Delayed Gear Engagement It's never a good sign when gears don't change promptly and seamlessly. Hesitant engagement means the transfer of power between the engine and wheels is momentarily cut. This may cause the engine to rev loudly while your car accelerates only sluggishly or slows down. You might then jolt forward when the new gear finally engages. Suddenly Slipping Gears It's even worse when a transmission slips and shifts on its own. Slipping gears can be due to rounded out gear teeth, low or contaminated fluid, faulty transmission bands, worn clutch plates, or issues with the solenoids. If your gears begin to slip, the transmission could stop shifting altogether as a protective measure until the fault is repaired. Dripping Puddles of Fluid Never ignore even a small puddle of fluid under your car. If transmission fluid is leaking, it's unwise to drive until you've had the leak fixed and the fluid topped up. Such a leak might originate from a cracked cooler line, a broken seal, a loose drain plug, or a damaged torque converter.

DVE Rocks Children’s Radiothon benefiting UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh and the Winter Warm Up Request-A-Thon benefiting Dollar Energy Fund At Ken Ganley Toyota Pittsburgh, being part of the Pittsburgh community means more than helping our neighbors find the right vehicle. We believe in supporting the people, families and organizations that make our community such a special place to call home. That’s why we’re proud to support two meaningful iHeartMedia community fundraising events in 2026: the DVE Rocks Children’s Radiothon benefiting UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh and the Winter Warm Up Request-A-Thon benefiting Dollar Energy Fund. Both events bring Pittsburgh together around causes that make a real difference, and we’re honored to play a part. Join Us for the DVE Rocks Children’s Radiothon The DVE Rocks Children’s Radiothon returns September 16–18, 2026, as 102.5 WDVE teams up with UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh for a three-day broadcast featuring patient stories, inspiring families and dedicated care teams. The Radiothon raises funds to support UPMC Children’s Hospital, helping provide world-class pediatric care, advance groundbreaking research and support children facing illness. The impact of this event continues to grow. In 2025, the Radiothon raised an incredible $1,210,739, making it the best Radiothon ever. Since the event began, more than $13 million has been raised for UPMC Children’s Hospital. The DVE Rocks Children’s Radiothon has also been the #1 iHeartMedia radiothon fundraiser for a Children’s Miracle Network Hospital for eight consecutive years, from 2018 through 2025. We’re proud to contribute to this year's effort with a $10,000 donation to Children’s Hospital. Help Us Match Our $10,000 Donation During the Radiothon, DVE’s large listening audience will be encouraged to help match Ken Ganley’s $10,000 contribution by making a donation of their own. If you would like to participate, you can donate through givetochildrens.org or by calling the Radiothon phone lines during the event. The 2025 Radiothon showed just how powerful that community support can be. More than 3,500 donors participated, with contributions coming from Pittsburgh and beyond, including listeners from 19 states and 36 area codes. Whether you make a one-time contribution or choose to become a monthly supporter, every donation can help provide important support for children and their families. Tune In to Hear From Our Team We’re also excited to have Justin, Manager of Ken Ganley Toyota Pittsburgh, represent our dealership during the Radiothon. Justin will participate in a radio interview at 8:15 a.m., where he’ll have the opportunity to talk about our support and why giving back to our community is important to our team. You can tune in to the Radiothon through the iHeartRadio app on September 16–18 and follow along as Pittsburgh comes together to support Children’s Hospital.

The 2026 Winter Warm Up will take place November 10 and 11 and will be hosted by 94.5 3WS. The event helps provide critical utility assistance to local families facing winter hardships.
