Delayed/harsh shifting when accelerating or maintaining speeds of 60 - 70 mph. Shuddering sporadically when RPMs are between 2000 - 3000. Marysville Toyota of Washington reproduced and confirmed the issue noted above. They diagnosed the vehicle with a failed Torque Converter. No warning light have come on and the dealership was made aware of this as well. Due to no warning lights, it came as a surprise when the vehicle jolted. I was on the highway maintaining speed when all of a sudden there was a delay and the vehicle began to reduce speed then after 20 - 30 seconds the vehicle forced itself over 3000 RPM and began to regain speed. As the vehicle would suddenly reduce speed without warning I utilized the right lane until I was able to exit from the highway as I was becoming a hazard on the road due to the issuing my vehicle was having.

While exiting slowly from the parking lot, the Toyota started to make a beeping alarm noise, then suddenly lurched forward. Applying the brake had no effect, and the car accelerated across the LRT tracks, climbed onto the passenger platform, and only stopped when it collided with an electrical box there.

I have noticed that when shifting from reverse into drive the transmission can take 2-3 seconds to actually "shift" into the drive gear and have the gas pedal move car forward. During the 2-3 seconds, pressing the gas does nothing but rev/increase the RPM in the engine. If you do press the gas and the "shift" takes place it will jerk the vehicle forward a bit.

Vehicle has whistle or whining noise on acceleration at 55-70 mph. (previously the vehicle made this noise at lower speeds and the transmission was replaced (repair order was opened on 6/1 and closed on 6/9/2016). As stated above the vehicle now whines/whistles at 55-70 mph. Apparently replacing the transmission did not resolve the issue.

The contact owns a 2016 Toyota Rav4. While the vehicle was started and the gear shifter stick was placed in the park position, the vehicle independently moved forward and crashed into an unoccupied parked vehicle. The air bags failed to deploy. A police report was not filed and there were no injuries. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The VIN was invalid. The failure mileage was 900.
