I have a 2008 Toyota Rav 4 with 27,000 miles on it. I went to start my car at the store and it wouldn't start. AAA jump-started it; I drove it for 30 minutes and parked it in the driveway, turned it off, and tried to start it again and it wouldn't start. The lights in the car come on, but no clicking noise is heard. Also, on the way home from the store after it was jump-started by AAA, I was stopped for about 5 minutes and had to back up the vehicle. When I did this, I lost power steering or something because the steering wheel was not turning the car. I put it back into drive from reverse and went forward again, and then put it back into reverse and it worked this time.

SOURCE: car won't go in reverse

If the vehcile is V6,then the trans model is the A540E,and if it is the 4 cylinder engine,the trans model is an A140E.Both are 4 speed overdrive transmissions,and sorry to report that on just abot every automatic trans on the road,reverse gear failure is almost always a mechanical problem inside the transmission because there are no shift solenoids involved with reverse as with forward gears.And you did say the forward gears were fine.Good luck.

SOURCE: all forward gears work and shift fine....all the

There is a pin in the transmission that has sheared off or a band has come loose. Bottom line you need to have the transmission serviced and repaired.

SOURCE: Transmission acts as if linkage

you may have broken the shifter cable somehow or it's possible the transmission is just broken internally.

Start the truck and check the tranny fluid level, it could be way low?
