Everything will fail eventually, but what pisses me off is that Toyota knows this is a defective part which could go at anytime and they do not offer a quality replacement part to fix the problem for their customers before failure occurs and if failure occurs after standard warranty you are screwed even though the failing part is below standard quality.

We haven't had this part fail yet and we just passed 48k km's. Hopefully we don't have a problem, but I still feel really upset for all of you who have had to deal with this issue and pay for its resolution. The way Toyota is treating you is disrespectful to everyone of their customers and I'm sure will cost them return customers, but like any other company, Toyota does not care.

You misunderstand my entire point. I am fully aware that everything will fail eventually because what kind of dreamer believes a car will last forever? My point was that the speed sensor on the left is defective also and it's only a matter of time (according to the mechanic) before it malfunctions, as the one on the right side did. That being the case, why does Toyota not replace all of the speed sensors at once, before the warranty runs out?
