This problem may be covered under warranty. Ask your Toyota dealer.
If it is on cruise control and up hill road, or car needs accelerate suddenly, it jumps to a lower gear. However, some times it jumps like 6->4?, which gives a very rough shake and rpm to 5000. Then it quickly goes back to 5? and rpm changes to 3500. This is really annoying when you use cruise control.

I bought this car January 5, 2017. Three weeks later, the odometer shows 705 Km and the engine light is on. I have to call towing service to bring the car to the dealership as I was unable to drive it. After diagnosing, they said it can be a transmission issue. They need time to further investigate what happen exactly with the transmission. The dealership will let me know by Monday. I will update my comments by then.
I was wondering if someone who owns a new 2017 Toyota RAV 4 has had this same issue. This seems very strange to happen with a brand new car with only 705 Km.!!! I can't wait until Monday to get an update from the dealership. Does anyone have an idea what are my rights in this case? I am feeling very disappointed and I really don't want to keep this car anymore. Thanks in advance.

Vehicle has been intermittently jumping into Drive when in Reverse and once into Reverse when in Drive. This has happened multiple times and once with my wife's friend in the car who has signed a letter saying the car was already in drive and this happened. This did occur at least twice when the car was not fully started but still engaged in reverse (see video) with reverse camera showing. Toyota claims this is user error/slanted land (which it is not) and they can't replicate. This also occurred when my wife was parallel parking and had the car in drive then into reverse it pulled forward almost throwing the car into traffic.
