| Description of the problem | I have a toyota rav4 2008. Last year july to august within one month, my rav4 (less than 2 year driving) had happened 2 times engine dead problem during driving, where my vehicle drove down to the hill without any power, specially no brake at all. It was happened one time i was driving, and another time my wife driving. We sent to dealer but i was told there was no error code was found, and was told they communicated with toyota factory. No similar problem was found. We went through arbitration last year. But they said they cannot reduplicate the problem, so i cannot replace the car. But our family is really concerning to continuously drive this car since it is so dangerous, and we have no idea when it will die again during driving. It bothers us a lot, and no problem can be found by services. We just want to replace this car. |
