Guys,
In a bit of a pickle with the missus' car. It's a 10year old RAV4 and having it's first ever issue. Basically the auto gears won't change down and this causes the car to start shaking / vibrating rigously when slowing down.
Have been to a toyota dealership and they have recommended changing the ECU at cost of 1.2k
However they cannot give me guarentee that this will fix the problem. I got them to do a transmission service (just in case burnt oil type scenario) .... car worked ok for couple of days .... and then the same problem again.
Any suggestions / thoughts from the more auto knowledgeable folks on this forum?
Take a gamble with 1.2k? *gulp*
