The car violently jerks out of drive into neutral for no reason whatsoever. This happened on more than one occurrence and a case was opened by our local dealership with Toyota who claimed that "a transmission cannot fail in one of those cars". The module on the transmission was re-calibrated once, as required by a previous service bulletin. I was told to come back when the vehicle slipped out of gear again. I did not feel safe in this car, so I traded it in at the first option I had.

Twice while driving the car has suddenly dropped out of overdrive while coasting on flat road or going down a slight hill. In addition, the engine makes an unusual and very loud 'tingy' or high pitched reving noise when accelerating, which disappears when at cruising speed. The first incident occured about 2 weeks ago and was followed by the inability to go above 15 mph. This persisted despite pressing the accelerator fully to the floor. The only way to stop this was to pull over and restart the car. The most recent incitent only involved dropping out of overdrive. Dealership has been contacted and has tried to find problem with no success. Manufacturer will be contacted.

Vehicle drops out of over drive while going down a slight hill and gently applying the brakes to slow down. Also does it while going straight on highway, at 60 mph or higher and applying the brakes with medium pressure. Does not resume over drive for 1/2 mile after that.
