Consumer Description

PERIODICALLY SEEMED STIFF WHEN SHIFTING INTO DRIVE, THEN THE "4 LO" LIGHT STARTS FLASHING. I TRIED PUTTING THE RANGE SELECTOR IN 4 LO WHICH RESOLVED THE FLASHING LIGHT A FEW TIMES. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO TOYOTA AND THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG BECAUSE THERE WERE NO CODES. THE LAST TIME I IT HAPPENED, IT STUCK IN 4 LO AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. NOT A GOOD SITUATION TO BE FAR FROM HOME WITH A VEHICLE STUCK IN 4 LO. I TOOK IT TO A TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST. THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG AND SAID THE CODE INDICATED A "RANGE PROBLEM" WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND THEY RESET THE CODES. NOW THE 4 LO LIGHT IS FLASHING AGAIN, TRAC OFF AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS ARE ON. GOING BACK TO TOYOTA. HOPE THEY CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS.
