Description of the problem	As my family and i were leaving my house to go to the coast, my 2004 toyota rav4 suddenly, without any prior warning or indication, jerked and sputtered and felt as if it were downshifting, as if the transmission were slipping or not engaging or maintaining gear. Upon taking it to the dealership, i was told that the diagnostic revealed that the transmission had to be replaced. I was also informed that toyota would not allow it to be opened up, only replaced. I mentioned the ecm and was told that they found nothing to indicate anything other than the transmission needed to be replaced. Were it not a higher power caring for me and my loved ones that day, i believe it could have become an even more dangerous situation than it already was.
