Whining sound, possibly transmission. The sound happens when I accelerate or maintain a certain speed (25-45 mph). When I remove my foot off the pedal the sound goes away so it's only temporary.

The vehicle should be able to run a few more years.

I was driving my 2007 Toyota Rav4 up a mountain dirt road in worlds end state park in sullivan county PA. I was traveling approx 15 mph. I hit the brake to slow down when the throttle suddenly went to full acceleration. I pressed hard on the brake, put the transmission into neutral, stopped the vehicle and shut off the engine. I pressed the gas pedal a few times and restarted the engine. Everything seemed fine. The same thing occurred on the way down the mountain. This time I was in low gear and the brake would not hold the vehicle. It took me a few seconds to shift into neutral and shut off the engine. The road took a sharp turn to the right, which is why I hit the brake to slow down, and I just managed to stop short of going off the road into the trees. I had no further problems on my trip home. I took the car to the Toyota dealer when I returned but they could find no problem. The only fault code in the system was for the battery which was ok when they checked it.

To whom concern hi, my name is don martinez. I have a disconcerting and disappointing story to tell about buying a new Toyota. My friend purchased a 2010 Toyota Rav4 5-door 4x2 SUV ltd on 3/20/2010 and on 3/27/2010 the vehicle failed. The car hesitated to advance and after 2 or 3 more tries did not responded at all. So my friend called the dealer to have the dealer pick up the car. She was interested in knowing what was wrong with her new car. The car was picked up the same day 3/27/2010. On March 29, she called the dealer to find out about her new car’s problem, and the salesman (harry zhu) told her they do not know what the problem was, but harry said, “the car needs a new engine�. She loves the Rav4 and was convinced to ask for another Rav4, same model, same price; just another Rav4…… sounds fair, sounds easy, for her. Now, my friend has no choice but to ask for no less than her money back. Her experienced has opened my eyes to the way that the Toyota dealership takes advantage of their customers. More people will know about this story and I know that is only one of many stories you hear, but I hope you will learn a lesson from this story. Customer service can either help or hinder your business and in this case bad customer service turned away a loyal Toyota customer who wanted nothing less but to drive her brand new Rav4.
