Shaking in reverse
I have noticed that when shifting from reverse into drive the transmission can take 2-3 seconds to actually "shift" into the drive gear and have the gas pedal move car forward. during the 2-3 seconds, pressing the gas does nothing but rev/increase the rpm in the engine. if you do press the gas and the "shift" takes place it will jerk the vehicle forward a bit.
I have problem with cv joint less 30,000 miles, toyota tell me everything is good with the suv, but have some noise, now don't have good stability when a drive
Tl* the contact owns a 2016 toyota rav4. while the vehicle was started and the gear shifter stick was placed in the park position, the vehicle independently moved forward and crashed into an unoccupied parked vehicle. the air bags failed to deploy. a police report was not filed and there were no injuries. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the vin was invalid. the failure mileage was 900.
Vehicle has whistle or whining noise on acceleration at 55-70 mph. (previously the vehicle made this noise at lower speeds and the transmission was replaced (repair order was opened on 6/1 and closed on 6/9/2016). as stated above the vehicle now whines/whistles at 55-70 mph. apparently replacing the transmission did not resolve the issue.
