    •Rattling noise coming from the front area when parked or neutral, with the engine running
    •The feeling of brakes applying by themselves in some occasions

    They said that this is a known ECU issue (Rav4 2001-2003 A/T Harsh Shifting Issue) to rav4 and there a lot of repair offers from ebay abroad mostly in the US.

    May I know if we have a repair shop here in the Philippines that is known to repair and solve these issues?

    Any of the members here or owner had the same issue?
    iirc i posted a tsb of toyota regarding that matter and there's also a list of new pcm part numbers with it. i think the best route is to consult your dealer or look for surplus with the same new part numbers. our local pcm repairmen would not know the problem of the old pcm, they're are looking for burn marks, leaking capacitors, busted diode, etc.

    i hope your transmission is still okay.
