I had taken the care back to my transmission place (certified…

The vehicle i believe has an ecm (engine control module) problem. Since the first incident where the vehicle wanted to shut off at a stop light, the vehicle erratic rpm fluctuation when the vehicle is at a stop or hesitates when taking off. Toyota has done a recall on some of the 2005 thru 2008 models and i believe this model should be included since it uses the same ecm and has the same engine as the other models
