| Have a 2002 toyota rav4 with a transmission problem related to the ecm. the vehicles transmission hesitates, makes noises, does not shift correctly. there is a toyota tech. service bull. (tc-002-06) issued in 2006. toyota never notified owners of this problem and therefore owners have driven past warranty time frames. (which is my case by 1 month) as there is only 73000 miles on the vehicle. toyota should of contacted owners once they knew there was a problem. | |||

| Re: fuel throttle linkage failure: high idle speed; unpredictable idle speed oscillation / surges, unpredictable acceleration / deceleration (particularly when engine is cold). car will sometimes fail to decelerate after taking foot off gas when at low speeds (10-25 mph), for example, when turning a corner or driving down a residential street. this manual transmission car will sometimes drive/lurch forward on its own without pressing on the gas pedal when in 2nd or 3rd gear, once rpms drop to about 1500. told by the dealer and toyota that this is the result of a new emissions control computer, and that the car is operating as designed. re: structure - roof rack: piece of the covering to the roof rack fell off when driving down the freeway. could have been dangerous if there would have been a car driving behind me at the time.*ak | |||
