My 2001 rav4 toyota jerks forward after a complete stop. Had it checked at toyota dealership, they didn't see what was the problem but they told me it may be the transmission or the engine control.

My 2001 toyota rav4 threw a rod, resulting in a total engine failure. The connecting rod endcap bolt broke. This is not a maintenance item and it should never brake. The rod punched a hole in the engine block. The whole engine has to be replaced. The toyota dealership says there's nothing they can do about it since it's not under warranty. *tr
