RAV4

  • Automatic transmission
  • 80,000 miles

It is very incovinient for me, since I have 2 daughters that ride with me all the time and its very dangerous because every time I make a turn and try to press the gas it takes a while to go, and every time I'm in a red light and try to go when green light changes it takes a while to start, I can't even travel to California anymore and I have to spend on renting a car every time I want to go to California, that problem may cause a very bad accident. I also talk to one of the representative in Toyota dealership and he said the problem is not a recall and that they never heard of that problem for Toyotas. My mechanic print all the recalls and problems that this cars have and I show them the form where it says and stated the same problem and it is stating that there is a warranty coverage on 80,000 miles or 96 months which ever happens first, and the representative wasn't nice and helpfull at all, I feel I was ignore by them, he just said there is nothing he could do for me and that it is not a recall. My mechanic cannot find what's the problem but I was told by him that the problem may cost me up to $5000 or more to replace the transmission. I think Toyota has to cover all the costs, I hope that they add this as a recall soon!!!!!

i have a 2003 rav4. it won't go up hills. the transmission is jerking, then is makes a loud popping sound. toyota services told me it was probably the transmission and the computer. they already flushed the transmission. cost me 225.00 dollars, but that didn't work, so guess whats next.i'm really upset about this. i'm disabled and no income coming in. don't know what to do.
