MY WIFE DRIVE A 2002 RAV4 TO WORK. ON APRIL 15 2013 WHILE ON HER WAY TO WORK LIKE ALWAYS SHE STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT . AS THE LIGHT TURN GREEN SHE PRESSED THE GAS THE CAR STARTED MOVING AND SUDDENLY LOST ACCELERATION, THE DRIVER BEHIND HER DID NOT HAVE TIME TO REACTED AND REAR ENDED THEM. MY 2 YEAR SON AND MY WIFE SHOCKED MY SON CRIED FOR A LITTLE BIT AND MY WIFE HAD A SORE BACK . AN THE BEGINNING WHEN SHE TOLD ME THESE I DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT . ONE WEEK AFTER THE INCIDENT SHE TOLD ME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON I TOLD HER MAYBE YOU DIDN'T CLOSE THE GAS CAP GOOD WHEN YOU PUT THE GAS IF IT STILL ON I WILL GET IT CHECK. SURE ENOUGH THE ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF ON ITS ON .SHORTLY AFTER SHE TOLD ME THE CAR IS NOT DRIVING NORMAL IF WE COULD SWAP CARS. I DROVE HER CAR FOR COUPLE DAYS AND OCCASIONALLY I START EXPERIENCING A LOW ACCELERATION AND SOMETIMES A HARD SHIFT. TOOK THE CAR TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT TOYOTA HAS AN OPEN BULLETIN FOR THE ECM WITCH CONTROL THE GEAR OF THE TRANSITION BUT THE BAD NEWS THE SAID EVEN DO I HAD ONLY 80100 MILES THEY SAID THE WARRANTY IS OUT BY TIME. ONCE I READ ABOUT THIS PROBLEM ON SEVERAL FORUM I REALIZE THAT WAS EXACTLY WHAT MY WIFE TRY TO EXPLAIN ME. I CONTACTED TOYOTA ABOUT WHAT HAPPEN AND TOLD THEM ABOUT THE ACCIDENT THEY GIVE ME A CASE NUMBER AND TOLD ME SOME ONE WILL CONTACTED YOU WITH IN 24 HOURS. *TR
