Description of the problem	The transmission on my 2005 toyota rav4 has begun to slip. I have maintained the vehicle in accordance to the prescribed maintenance schedule and have had most of the services performed at a toyota dealership. The transmission slips approximately once a week, always at speeds below 40. Today i was entering a freeway and i heard the transmission slip. The car immediately lost propulsion, slowing to a dangerous speed for an acceleration ramp, and i was afraid that i was going to be rear-ended. I have done internet research and see that this is a very common problem with these vehicles. I have contacted toyota's corporate office and been told that there is no recall. I have contacted the dealership that i've had most of my services done; they recommended that i have the computer on the transmission reset, at a cost of approximately $125. I'm afraid that the transmission is going to fail completely, or that a slip/disengagement is going to cause me to be in an accident.
