Consumer Description

THE TRANSMISSION STARTED SHIFTING ERRATICALLY AT TIMES. AFTER DOING SOME CHECKING ONLINE, I DISCOVERED THAT TOYOTA HAD PUT FAULTY ECM'S IN SOME RAV 4S. THE ECM CONTROLS THE SHIFTING OF THE TRANSMISSION. YOU HAVE TO REPLACE THE ECM & THE TRANSMISSION IF ITS DAMAGED AT A COST OF $4,000.00 OR MORE. TOYOTA KNEW ABOUT THIS & EXTENDED THE WARRANTIES ON THESE VEHICLES 10 YEARS. UNFORTUNATLEY WE DIDN'T BUY THE VEHICLE UNTIL AFTER THE WARRANTY TIME PERIOD HAD PASSED & THIS VEHICLE WAS NEVER REPAIRED. I CALLED TOYOTA TO SEE IF THEY WOULD STILL STAND BEHIND IT BUT THEY WOULD NOT. NOW I HAVE TO PAY FOR THEIR FAULTY JUNK. DON'T THINK I'LL BE BUYING ANOTHER TOYOTA AGAIN.
