2002 TOYOTA RAV4, 4WD,AT TRANSMISSION JERKING AND HASHING, REPORTING CODE P0750, P0755... I CALLED TOYOTA DEALER IN PORTLAND, OR AND SPEAK TO MASTER TECHNICIAN. I'VE BEEN TOLD BY THE MASTER TECH THAT RAV4 2001-02 AND 2003 RAV4 NEEDS A NEW UPDATED ECM FOR ABOUT $800.00 + LABOR. HE WARNED ME THAT WITHOUT REPLACING THE NEW UPDATED ECM, MY RAV4 TRANSMISSION WILL BE DAMAGE AND IT COULD COST ABOUT $5,500.00 PARTS + LABOR. TOYOTA WARRANTY ONLY 8 YRS OR 80K MILES SINCE THIS IS THEIR FLAW SOFTWARE PROGRAMMING AND WHY DON'T THEY DO A RECALL CAMPAIGN TO ELIMINATE THE POSSIBLE SAFETY PROBLEM. INSTEAD THEY ONLY NOTIFY THEIR SERVICE CENTER OF THEIR DEALERSHIP. PLEASE HELP RAV4 OWNERS.... *TR
