Description of the problem	I purchased my rav4 brand new mid/late year 2018. In december at app. 10000 miles i started having issues with the gears. Shifting from park to any gear i would hear a loud banging type noise and the entire car would jerk. Along with that issues i have noticed a delayed acceleration at green lights sometimes to the point where i get a traction control light once it has kicked in or even jerking while finding the correct gear to be in. Once i have accelerated and let off the gas, and then returned to the acceleration pedal after braking or just momentarily resting my ankle with the car at speed, the car will "fish for gears" like it cannot decide which gear the car should be in. When going downhill and letting off the gas it will downshift, causing the car to jerk. All these issues happen often but completely at random. I have taken it to the dealer and brought it up multiple times during oil changes and tire rotation, but they say that cannot duplicate it or that it is just how the car works.
