Replying to: toyotasuck (Mar 28, 2009 5:52 am) I just heard about this:   Reports of Toyota RAV4 gearbox woes mount as owner anger grows (Autoblog)   "Long story short, owners are miffed that Toyota has internally confirmed the issue (a TSB was issued to dealers in March of 2006), but has failed to notify consumers who are facing costly repair bills to replace transmissions when all many needed was a simple electronic module."

Anyone who is or has experienced ECM and transmission problems on their 2001-2005 RAV4, please comment on this NY Times article:   http://wheels.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/08/26/toyotas-reaction-to-transmission-woes- -draws-customers-ire/#comment-119465   And file a complaint with NHTSA:   http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/ivoq/   Please make sure to tell NHTSA that the defects in these cars are VERY unsafe and put everyone at danger!!   Thank you!

Replying to: melody11 (Aug 31, 2009 12:54 pm) Does anyone know when, what year, the RAV4 went to DBW, E-throttle. That was the technique Toyota used in an attempt to fix this same problem, seemingly, with the RX330.   Flawed transaxle design modifications incorporated in the early RX was migrated to other FWD vehicles within just a few years.

Replying to: melody11 (Aug 31, 2009 12:54 pm) I used to love my RAV4 until it died with only 107,000 miles on it. I took meticulous care of it only to have the transmission fail due to the defective design that Toyota has been aware of for more than three years. This has been one of the most stressful experiences of my life. Toyota on the national and local levels has been awful to deal with. These cars are very dangerous; the transmissions are failing at an alarming rate; and the fact that Toyota has chosen to do nothing about it, leaving us all with the risk of injury or death, is mindblowing.   Please complain to the NHTSA and FTC. These cars are very dangerous.   HATE the RAV4!

Replying to: damashata0430 (Sep 17, 2009 11:29 am) Dear damashata0430,   You can go onto eBay and search up "Toyota Rav4 ECM Repair", it is the cheapest and the ratings for the sellers prove the repair works. What you have to do is send them your existing ECM and they will repair it for you.   I'm so sorry to hear what had happened, I hope things will get better for you after this.
#23 of 23 2001 Rav4 Transmission Problem by hlm1 Oct 24, 2009 (5:20 pm)
10-25-2009. I own a 2001 Toyota Rav4 4WD with about 160,000 miles.I just today had my first experience with transmission problems. I stopped at a traffic light but when it turned green the car would hardly move forward on level ground. I managed to get it home, about one mile from the light. I have had no previous problems and absolutely no warning concerning the transmission. I need help and need to find out if Toyota has issued any bulletins? Thanks.
