Defective ecm causing the transmission to shift harshly. My car is in the shop right now getting fixed because of this problem. Not only am i paying over $1,000.00 for the new ecm from the dealer i am having to get a rebuilt transmission put in. That is costing me over $2500.00. I feel like this is toyota's problem.
