2002 TOYOTA RAV4 with 115000. miles

I have a 2002 Toyota Rav4 with transmission/ecm problems. My issue is that there was a technical service bulletin sent out to all of Toyota service departments it is as follows: technical service bulletin is: tc002-06, revised march 3, 2006: "some 2001 ? 2003 model year Rav4 vehicles equipped with an automatic transaxle may exhibit a harsh shift condition and/or m.I.L. ?On? With dtc P0750, P0753, P0755, P0758, and/or P1760 stored. Improvements have been made to the engine control module (ecm) (sae term: powertrain control module/pcm) manufacturing process to reduce the possibility of this condition occurring. Use the following procedure to repair the vehicle" it goes on to say replace the ecm/ecu and possibly the transmission. My complaint is that Toyota did not notify any consumer about this issue and now that many of us are just now having a problem with this and after researching it learning that we are not alone and it is happening with many of the same model car- mainly the 2002. I have contacted Toyota corp. As well as the dealership where my car was purchased. I was told the cost to repair my car would be a costly $9,000.00. This is something that Toyota intentionally kept from consumers to avoid costly repairs to themselves. Had i been notified i would have had the ecu/ecm replace in 2006 while my car was still under warranty. There are 121 complaints to the national highway traffic safety administration. This just started with my car 3 weeks ago i was almost hit by another car because my car would not switch into gear once i reached about 20 mph and again at about 40 mph...The engine revved to about 6000 rpm's and just sat there if it were in neutral. I am very worried about the safety of driving this car. Toyota needs to own up to this problem and issue a recall. I am very upset and feel i was not dealt a fair hand with this car - Toyota would only repair this problem based on a customers specific complaint under 80k miles.

2001 TOYOTA RAV4 with 117000. miles

I have a Toyota Rav4 2001 car. Its an auto transmission with 117,000 miles on it. Suddenly about 10 days ago i started feeling the harsh shifting / bucking / jerking while taking the car. I then went to a near by Toyota dealer for diagnostic test and what they have found was a fault code P0755 (harsh shift and/or m.I.L. ?On? Dtc P0750/P0753/P0755/P0758/P1760) which is basically recommending to replace the engine control module. I then searched about this fault code on the internet i ended up on a website (http://www.Carcomplaints.Com/Toyota/Rav4/2002/transmission/problems_shifting.Shtml) where i could see numerous similar complaints. It looks like Toyota has made a fault ecm and have installed in so many Rav4 (b/w 2001 - 2003 model year), which made so many customers like us to go through a lot of service expenses. Please do the needful so that Toyota makes a reimburse the expenses for all the customers who has gone through some financial burden due to this.

2001 TOYOTA RAV4 with 61696.0 miles

Rav4 do not shift gear. Some times it was like jerked shifting and i searched about this problem in internet and found several problem reported in carcomplaints.Com site. This is what happened to me. "i took car to a dealer - lombard Toyota, il, and told about gear shifting problem. At first they did not say anything about the known problem with Rav4. When i said, i researched about this problem in internet and found that Rav4 has a gear shifting problem and Toyota knows about it, and there is a tsr-tech service bulletin, and it needs to repair free. They told me let us take a look at. After half an hour, they told me i am lucky it is still under warranty 8yr/80000. I purchased this one on 2/??/2001. So i am luckily covered. I did a little argued that even if i am out of warranty, Toyota should take care of this problem because it is a defect. They did not care much. And i did not press on it. So here is the problem-according to Toyota service bulletin tc002-06 revised model 2001-2003 Rav4 equipped with automatic transaxle may exhibit a harsh shift and/or m.I.L "on" dtc P0750, P0753, P0755, P0758, and/or P1760. Improvements have been made to the engine control module (ecm) sae term - powertrain control module/pcm) manufacturing process to reduce the possibility of this condition occurring. Use the following procedure to repair the vehicle. They replace a r&r engine control module. My Rav4 drives good now. I still think my Rav4 is really not smooth. Or atleast that is the way i feel. This is it for right now. If anything comes up i will update later.
