Consumer Description

OWN 01 TOYOTA RAV 4 THAT HAS FAULTY COMPUTER, TOYOTA WILL NOT ADMIT THAT THESE MODELS ARE FAULTY. VEHICLE IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. REPLACING COMPUTER CAN ALSO MAKE TRANSMISSION GO OUT. A VERY EXPENSIVE MISTAKE BY TOYOTA AT MY COST. I PAID 12,400 FOR THIS VEHICLE LESS THAN 2 YRS AGO. IT IS SHIFTING SO HARD THAT IT IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. I WISH I HAD READ CAR COMPLAINTS.COM BEFORE I PURCHASED IT, THERE ARE TONS OF OWNERS WITH 01-02 RAV'S WITH SAME PROBLEM. I THINK TOYOTA NEED TO CORRECT AT THEIR COST. THIS IS MY 3RD TOYOTA BUT WILL BE MY LAST!!!! *TR
