Description of the problem	My wife was driving her 2003 toyota 4runner limited,v8 when the transmission popped out of gear. She had it in 4d gear for normal driving. She pulled over and put it in 4d gear again and it popped out a second time. The check engine light also appeared. She pulled over again and turned off the air conditioner and she proceeded to drive to her destination without the gear popping out. She called our son to pick up the car to take it to the dealer for service. They found nothing wrong with the vehicle. They said it had to happen while they were testing the car to fix the problem but they couldn't repeat the same thing that happened when my wife was driving it. This situation could be potentially dangerous. Where do we go from here,who do we contact? My wife's work number is 412-875-1481
