Toyota G.B. tell me they will NOT honour the warranty extensions 10 years or 150000 miles on the harsh shifting on RAV4 Auto. Cost of replacing the ECU was just under £1000.

This is something that happens more often than you may think. We have had customers that ordered a performance chip for their 1993, 1994 or 1995 BMW 325i/525i, and after installing the chip, they have accidentally touched the positive terminal of the car battery with the metal chassis of the ECM, which is a ground, and afterwards, the engine started having problems that will not go away even after replacing the ECM.
