Hello,Although there's alot of miles on this car, up til now it's in excellent condition! However, I was driving my Rav4 to work the other day when out of nowhere it just stopped going! I would try to accelerate but the car acted like it was in neutral. There was no for-warning of this and am at a total loss with the problem. I had 2 mechanics hook up computer's to the car and they're just as confused as I am....Can you please help me with this problem? I don't know where to take it and hope to ensure an honest diagnosis when I do! I appriciate your time and Thank you, Paula

If the engine is revving with no pulling torque, that could mean a bad transmission. Have you checked the fluid level and condition?
