RAV4 Executive 2.0 VVTI

  • Manual transmission
  • 10,000 miles

After 10 or so minutes that the engine is running and has reached the ideal temperature, every time I stop the car (traffic, lights), the engine drops its rounds to 500 rpm , the car starts to shake as if it is about to shut off and then suddenly goes up to 1000rpm and then back to normal 680 rpm. this happens every time until I park and shut the engine off. For example going a ride of 10 klm it happens 40 or 50 times.

Toyota technicians tell me that they find no problem as long as no light of the screen goes on and as long as the computer shows no malfunction. I pointed that maybe the problem is not electronic but mechanical that is why is not recorded but they ignore me again and again.

This is the 6th car I bought and driven and I never experienced that before

I bought a new car from Toyota and I very unsatisfied.
