Consumer Description

DRIVING MY RAV 4 2003 WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT HAD NO POWER STRUGGLED TO SHIFT IT FELT LIKE I WAS RIDING A BULL. IT IS VERY SCARY. WHEN YOU HAVE NO POWER AND NEED TO ACCELERATE AT A LIGHT. PLEASE PROTECT THE PEOPLE. FORCE TOYOTA TO SO A RECALL. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE. DO NOT WAIT TILL SOMEONE GETS HURT OR KILLED. I AM NOW HAVING TO REPLACE A TRANSMISSION AND COMPUTER.$3300. MY CAR IS IN THE SHOP SO I DO NOT HAVE THE VIN# PLUS WHEN YOU TAKE IT TO THE REPAIR SHOP THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. IT DOES NOT SHOW ON THE COMPUTER THAT IT IS THE TRANSMISSION OR THE ECU. *TR
