My transmission compleley died a week ago. I have some good news. It was towed to Precision Toyota, Tucson AZ; immediately I was told that there will be no charge for anything. And I was told just that way. I also was told that the repair can take up to 16 weeks. I called Toyota customer sercvice requesting a rental car for whatever time is takes for the repair. Received a call back the next day; I was advised to pick out the 2011 Toytoa car or van that I wanted to use from the rental department. I am now driving a 2011 Rav4 for free-and my car insurance covers the insurance. I am very happy!

I also had a transmission problem, but because of toyota they have extended the warranty until 10 yrs or 150,000 on 2002's not sure about other years. toyota dealer just replaced my computer and if problem comes back they will replace the transmission for FREE, I also didn't pay anything for the ECU (computer). I also believe service lady said they will also cover TCU as sell. so check with your local dealer.

Purchased used at 98k miles, $10k New transmission & ECM @ 120k miles, $7k. New suspension units & bushings @ 310k miles, can't really tell much difference in feel. $1.5k New alternator @ 340k miles, $0.4k. New a/c compressor unit (to remedy its clutch failure), 0.5k New steering 'rack' @ 365k miles, leak. Love this car's size and utility. Biggest complaint: interior noise level. I'm six feet & 190 lbs. Drivers seat is saggy & uncomfable on longer trips, its upholstery is worn but intact & unstained, started around 300k.

129,000 care-free miles and THEN transmission failure with an incredible lack of consideration by Toyota. ECU/ECM (computer module of automatic transmission) failure leading to destruction of tranny. Will cost $4- 5000 and Toyota has been aware of this via TSB (technical service bulletin) since 2006. Affecting years 2001-2003 with automatic. If your get a RAV-4 make sure it's got STICK!

Traded a 2000 Jeep Wrangler in on this vehicle. Let me say, really impressed with the RAV-4 all around. Nice to get out of a gas hog and into something with better gas mileage. Love the handling, and the 4 cyl. gives my wife and I enough power that we need. Won't win a muscle car contest, but enough to get the job done. I believe that we will become loyal Toyota owners.
