| Description of the problem | I have a 2005 rav4, the transmission has been slipping, it is an automatic and sometimes it won't change gears when it should, so it won't accelerate and when it finally does switch to the next gear the who car jerks and takes off very quickly. This began happening for no reason i have not had any sort of accident with the vehicle and take very good care of it. I have been told by campbell motors in hermiston or, that the only option is to completely replace the transmission for a cost of $3900. I have read that is a common problem on the rav4 and feel that toyota should issue a recall on the transmission it is very dangerous in traffic to have a car that jerks around and accelerates/won't accelerate in an unpredictable manner. |
