2010 Toyota RAV4 Power Train Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1404292
Internal NHTSA #	11020508
Manufacurer	Toyota Motor Corporation
Brand	TOYOTA
Model	RAV4
Model Year	2010
File date	15/03/15
Component	POWER TRAIN
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The vehicle jerks visciously when shifting. This occurs when driving up a hill and the transmission down shifts from 3rd to 2nd or when accelerating from 1st to 2nd when turning a corner or when going in reverse while traversing up any type of in line. This is a sporadic problem that began occurring at around 93,000 miles. The vehicle now has 128,000. I initially thought that the transmission was failing but i thought the mileage was way too low for that type of problem to occur. I had the transmission fluid changed at 94,000 miles. This action made no difference. Recently i began researching on the web and have found information pointing to the ecm (electronic control module). Either solution is an extremely costly repair. I am interested to know if there are other people who are experiencing similar problems and if toyota has any responsibility for repairs?
