I guess the accident was not reported to insurance. And the repair is done in an independent shop

If someone went outside of insurance that means they more than likely got a used transmission not rebuilt.

Is this bad? Toyota Yaris has not been around many years. So how old can Toyota Yaris transmission be?

Also, can we sue carfax for not reporting the truth?

Am I supposed to report this accident to carfax?

I just learned that Carfax has a autobuy back system meaning if carfax did not report the accident in their document you can get your money back %110

Had I known this, I would have purchased Autofax at the time of sale and I could get my money back now, but dealer did not tell me

we got a car due to using CARFAX and it showed it had a good history . Come to find out the car was in a wreck . Someone noticed overspray after we bought it . The car came from a car rental company . Many times these are repaired by their own shop . CARFAX is far from perfect . We once test drove a new 2001 PRIZM that had hit a deer when drove by a car sales person on his way home . The dent was in the front fender . This CHEVY dealership had its own body shop . Quite sure they repaired it and never made the buyer of that car aware .
