| I own a 2003 toyota rav4. my car was running in good working order, with just over 99000 miles on it. on may 2nd 2012, i experienced issues with the car's transmission and ecm. the car would rev when i pressed on the gas, but it would not move. also, when shifting gears, the car would slow to a brake and then there was be a bump or grinding in the gears before the car would proceed to move. this would put me in danger of a rear end collision because my car would suddenly brake without me pressing on the brakes to signal the driver behind me that i was going to slow down. i have learned that toyota is aware of this issue with many of its rav4's (2001-2003). is there any help on toyota's part to correct this issue that they know of without passing along the cost to the innocent customer? thank you for your time. | |||
