Consumer Description

THE ECM ON MY 2001 TOYOTA RAV4 STOPPED WORKING AT 76K MILES AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I DID NOT EXPERIENCE AN INCIDENT BECAUSE I STOPPED DRIVING IT AND GOT IT FIXED QUICKLY WITHIN A FEW WEEKS OF THE FAILED TRANSMISSION SYMPTOMS - LURCHING AND JERKING AND LACK OF POWER IN THE ENGINE. I HAVE DONE THE RESEARCH AND REALIZE THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR AND AM HOPING IF ENOUGH PEOPLE COMPLAIN, TOYOTA WILL OWN UP TO THE PROBLEM OF A MAJOR DEFECTIVE PART. TOYOTA CLAIMS THIS IS NOT AN ISSUE AND, SINCE THE WARRANTY ON MY ECM EXPIRED AS OF MARCH THIS YEAR, THEY ALSO CLAIM IT IS NOT THEIR PROBLEM. *TR
