I have the same problems with my 2007 RAV4 4 cyl. It now has 6800 miles. Toyota tells the they are working on this problem. When I bought the car it had been on the market for about 1 year. How long does it take for them to figure out how to fix this problem. My problem is the same as most other people . I have auto transmission. The vehicle will shift rapidly many times between 2nd and 3rd gears. This happens on the slightest incline. I recently took a trip, drove through the AL mountains and it was a real "nightmare"I thought the transmission would come apart with all the jerking. I am 74 years old and I want cruise control;. I was told by service technician at dealer that if it bothered me, "just cut the cruise control off" I will never do business with Toyota again. I have a consumer lawyer and I am suing under SC lemon law Please wish me good luck.

come on jacksafe, what in the heck is wrong with you that you would buy a 2008 Rav 4?? I guess you did not read this blog on that piece of crap.... geezz, we have been bitching about this Toyota disaster for two years and still you bought one, ha,,ha.... sorry but I find that a bit funny....will ole pal, suck it up and live with it till you can dump it on the unsuspecting that is all you can do now, Toyota will never fix this problem, they told me they did not need to, they have a fine reputation and can sell cars on their reputation, well it seems they are right huh....well it will catch up with them just as it did with the big 3 auto companies in good ole America... good luck dude suck it up and make the best of it, cause this is all you are going to get.... ces1938, been there done it....

My dealer told me Toyota was working on a fix but in the arbitration hearing I was told that it was a "characteristic" of the vehicle not a problem and that Toyota had no intentions of addressing the situation. again good luck

Replying to: sumrx4 (Nov 16, 2007 8:31 am) As far as the comments are concerned I too think they are totally out of line. I think that the majority of us found this forum "after" buying the RAV 4, 4 cylinder and realizing the problem it had with the cruise control. If anyone that is considering buying a 4 cylinder RAV 4 found this forum before buying do you really think they would have bought one? Everyone here has had to deal with enough grief over this without someone trying to make things worse. Don

Well guys, I got my problem FIXED, not from  Toyota tho, I have an old friend that is quite the car expert, I told him of my problem and he said "no problem" , he checked out my cruse and had a real ha,ha. with that he said he could not believe how much Toyota has come down hill with their quality control problems but looks like they have got to being bigshots and no longer care about their customers, they just want to sell more cars than GM.... but anyway, he went down to a local auto parts store and paid $140.00 for a cruse control that would fit a 1996 Camry 4 cyl. 4 speed, he pulled the computer module out of my Rav's computer and just disconnected the darn thing... he installed the 1996 cruse control, than we took her out for a spin.....FOLKS IT WORKED PERFECTLY, how about that, Toyota made such a big deal out of fixing the damn think... but my ole shade tree mechanic fixed it in 45 minutes.... how does that build your confidence in Toyota, huh.....
