Business: 2001-2003 RAV4 Toyota Automatic Tranmission Problems

Love the car. But ...

It started to act up ...

Rough shifting between gears on a couple of occasions ...

When going up an incline, the car didn't seem to know it should downshift for more power so instead the car limped up the hill ...

Check engine light came on ...

That lead us to do some searchs on Google which brought up many web sites describing the problem.

The car is now in the shop and we are hoping that the transmission isn't torn up.
