Consumer Description

OUR 2002 TOYOTA RAV-4 HAS ABOUT 120,000 MILES ON IT. THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEGUN TO ACT UP BEGINNING ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO. IT HAS GONE FROM BAD TO WORSE, AND IN INVESTIGATING SOLUTIONS TO THE PROBLEM, WE HAVE BEEN STUNNED TO READ ABOUT THE MANY HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS THAT TOYOTA HAS RECEIVED RE: 2001-2003 TOYOTA RAV-4S, WHICH WERE THOUGHT TO BE TRANSMISSION ISSUES EXCLUSIVELY, AND TURNED OUT TO BE FAULTY ECMS. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME THAT WE DRIVE THIS CAR, AND WE NOW REFUSE TO DRIVE IT ON THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE OF OUR DIFFICULTY IN GETTING IT TO ACCELERATE WITHOUT THE RPMS BEING SO HIGH THAT WE KNOW IT'S DAMAGING THE TRANSMISSION/ENGINE. *TR
