Transmission Gear Slipping problems of the 2005 Toyota RAV4

I have a 2005 Rav4, the transmission has been slipping, it is an automatic and sometimes it won't change gears when it should, so it won't accelerate and when it finally does switch to the next gear the who car jerks and takes off very quickly. This began happening for no reason I have not had any sort of accident with the vehicle and take very good care of it. I have been told by campbell motors in hermiston or, that the only option is to completely replace the transmission for a cost of $3900. I have read that is a common problem on the Rav4 and feel that Toyota should issue a recall on the transmission it is very dangerous in traffic to have a car that jerks around and accelerates/won't accelerate in an unpredictable manner.

The transmission on my 2005 Toyota Rav4 has begun to slip. I have maintained the vehicle in accordance to the prescribed maintenance schedule and have had most of the services performed at a Toyota dealership. The transmission slips approximately once a week, always at speeds below 40. Today I was entering a freeway and I heard the transmission slip. The car immediately lost propulsion, slowing to a dangerous speed for an acceleration ramp, and I was afraid that I was going to be rear-ended. I have done internet research and see that this is a very common problem with these vehicles. I have contacted Toyota's corporate office and been told that there is no recall. I have contacted the dealership that I've had most of my services done; they recommended that I have the computer on the transmission reset, at a cost of approximately $125. I'm afraid that the transmission is going to fail completely, or that a slip/disengagement is going to cause me to be in an accident.
