A QUICK SEARCH OF THE INTERNET UNCOVERS HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE NOW EXPERIENCING THE RAMIFICATIONS.  TOYOTA ISSUED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN TO THEIR DEALERSHIPS WHILE THESE CARS WERE STILL YOUNG; HOWEVER, FAILED IN ANY WAY TO MAKE THEIR LOYAL CUSTOMERS AWARE.  THE FAULTY ENGINE CONTROL MODULE GENERALLY LASTS UNTIL CONSUMERS ARE JUST OUT OF WARRANTY, THUS TOYOTA REFUSES TO TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY AT ALL.  IN MY CASE (AND AS DOCUMENTED BY MANY OTHERS), MY BAD ECM CAUSED MY CAR TO JERK VIOLENTLY WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE.  IT WAS ALSO HAZARDOUS THAT OFTEN THE CAR WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO PICK UP ANY SPEED AT ALL AND THEN WHEN IT DID, IT WOULD ONCE AGAIN JERK AND ACCELERATE ALL AT ONCE.  IN ESSENCE, THE FAILURE OF THE ECM CAUSES THE TRANSMISSION TO DIE.  MY RAV4 FINALLY DIED ON JUNE 26, 2009.  THE COST TO REPLACE THE ECM AND THE TRANSMISSION WILL BE ABOUT $3700; HOWEVER, MANY FOLKS OUT ON THE CONSUMER COMPLAINT WEBSITES HAVE PAID UP TO $5000.  THIS SAFETY ISSUE IS HUGE, AS TOYOTA KNEW ABOUT IT LONG AGO AND WITH THE HUGE COST OF THE REPAIR, I'M CERTAIN THAT MANY PEOPLE WILL DRIVE THEIR CARS FAR TOO LONG WITH THIS DEFECT.  *TR","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2002","productMake":"TOYOTA","productModel":"RAV4","manufacturer":"Toyota Motor Corporation"}]}]}
