My 2007 6 cyl rav4 has under 30k miles on it. Was fine and after sitting un-driven in my garage for 3 weeks, now the check engine light, vsc, and [redacted] lights stay on. The transmission no longer shifts into overdrive (stays in 4th gear) at highway speeds. Random delayed acceleration when making slow speed turns (usually at intersections or passing in slow moving rush-hour traffic) resulting in sudden…

I have an automatic, 6-cylinder 2007 toyota rav4 limited awd, that suffers from throttle/transmission lag of 1-2 seconds. I experience it most commonly when merging into traffic or changing lanes, when i depress the accelerator to speed up, there is an uncomfortably long delay before the transmission changes gears. The result is i am left hanging out in a lane with no power or speed. When the transmission or…

2007 rav4 w/4cyl engine and automatic transmission. While accelerating into traffic, throttle became stuck. The pedal did not respond to my foot. It was stuck in "down" position. I managed to shift the transmission into neutral and with engine revving widely shut the motor off. I am very lucky there was light traffic at the time. Note that i immediately checked for floor mat interference with pedal and the mat was…

At low rpm the accelerator and/or the transmission has a noticeable lag. This occurs approx 50 % of the time. Several times it has put me into a dangerous situation when trying to blend into traffic. Most recently i was taking my son to college and was almost hit by a truck on the penn turnpike. I have brought it in twice to the dealer only to be told that a road test showed "normal operation of the accelerator". I…

When i turn my car off, but leave the key in the ignition to keep the radio on for my passenger while i am out of the car, sometimes i forget to take the car out of drive and put it into park. I do not use the emergency brake. Several times when i have done this, the car has rolled backwards. Usually, i notice it before i step out of the car, and i put on the brakes and put the car in park. Last week, however, i got…

I own a 2007 toyota rav4 limited 4wd v6 and the transmission does not shift correctly at low speeds. A typical example of the problem is seen after slowing down to make a turn onto another street. The transmission does not shift out of overdrive, so when attempting to accelerate, the engine speed increases and the vehicle does not move. The computer then realizes that the car is trying to accelerate and "slams" into…

Transmission has gone up. No excessively hard driving in the past. Apparently transaxle shift not shifting into gear. *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2007 toyota rav4. While driving at a speed of 45 mph and trying to accelerate to pass a vehicle the transmission shifts to a passing gear but the vehicle will swerve to the right within 100 feet. A representative of toyota and a regional manager drove the vehicle and experienced the exact problem. After two suspension alignments, the problem had not been corrected. The manufacturer still says…

I am also experiencing a consistent problem with my 2007 toyota rav4 with a lag in acceleration. I notice it the most when slowing down to about 10 mph to make a turn. As i come out of the turn and press the accelerator, the car does nothing for a couple of seconds. Then the engine revs up and finally lurches forward. I started noticing this problem just a couple of days after purchasing my vehicle. It is very…

The loud sound appeared clearly like a flute sound when i pressed the gas pedal, especially when going 30 to 45 mph. When i released gas pedal the sound goes away, but when i press the gas pedal again, the loud flute sound appears again. *jb
