  TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA RAV4. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE, ALL OF THE WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE CRUISE CONTROL FAILED TO ACTIVATE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 51,000.

• 12/31/2014· STEERING

  MY 2007 TOYOTA RAV4 HAS DEVELOPED A LOUD CLUNK AND SLIGHT BINDING WHEN THE STEERING WHEN TURNING AT SLOW SPEEDS. THE DIAGNOSIS FROM TOYOTA APPEARS TO BE A WORN INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT. IN MY OPINION, THE STEERING SHAFT ON THIS VEHICLE DOES NOT RESEMBLE THOSE ON OTHER CARS IN THAT STARTS CONNECTED TO THE STEERING WHEEL AND THEN RUNS VERTICALLY DOWN THROUGH THE DASH AREA CHANGING DIRECTION ABRUPTLY. OTHER VEHICLES HAVE A GENERALLY STRAIGHT STEERING SHAFT IN LINE WITH THE STEERING WHEEL AXIS AND NO ABRUPT CHANGES IN ALIGNMENT. THERE APPEARS TO BE SIGNIFICANT DISCUSSIONS ON TOYOTA RELATED WEBSITES OF SIMILAR RAV4 STEERING SHAFT PROBLEMS. IS TOYOTA AND THE NHTSA AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND PREPARING AN INVESTIGATION OR REMEDY. *JS

• 12/30/2014· VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

  TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA RAV4. WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED BUT THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY ACCELERATED. THE CONTACT HAD TO PLACE THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL IN ORDER TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS SHORTENED, BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

• 12/30/2011· STEERING

  "KLUNKING" NOISE FROM STEERING COLUMN. NOTICED INTERMITTENTLY INITIALLY,NOW ALL THE TIME. OCCURS AT ANY SPEEDS BUT PRIMARILY LOWER SPEEDS AND WHILE STOPPED. WORSENING OVER TIME. *KB

• 12/30/2011· ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING

  VEHICLE WAS BOUGHT NEW AND HAD 148MILES ON IT WHEN DELIVERED AS IT WAS DELIVERED TO ME FROM ANOTHER DEALERSHIP. FOR THE PAST 20,000 MILES IT HAS BEEN USING 3-4 QUARTS OF OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. TOYOTA KNOWS THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES AND HAS A TSB 0094-11 TO FIX THE DESIGN FLAW. THIS "FIX" BASICALLY REBUILDS THE ENGINE WITH NEW PISTONS, RINGS AND CRANKS. CALLED THE DEALER WHEN I SAW THIS TSB AND TOLD THEM I HAD 59923 MILES ON VEHICLE SO I'LL BE OVER THE WARRANTY BY THE TIME I BRING IT IN AND WAS TOLD IT WAS NO PROBLEM. DROPPED OFF VEHICLE WITH 60114 MILES ON IT AND THEY STARTED AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST BY FIRST FILLING THE OIL. IT TOOK 3 1/2 QUARTS JUST TO TOP IT OFF. NEED TO GO BACK IN 1200 MILES TO CONFIRM THAT IT IS USING OIL BUT THEY TOLD ME THE WARRANTY WILL NOT BE VALID AND I WOULD NEED TO PAY FOR ANY REPAIRS OUT OF POCKET. TOYOTA USES THIS ENGINE IN MANY DIFFERENT VEHICLES AND A SEARCH ONLINE FINDS THAT THERE ARE QUITE A FEW PEOPLE WITH THIS PROBLEM BUT TOYOTA WILL DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. *KB

• 12/29/2018· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)

  WHETHER I'M DRIVING OR PARKED WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING, THE CAR SHUTS DOWN COMPLETELY. I CANT TURN ON THE HAZARD LIGHTS OR ROLL DOWN THE POWER WINDOWS. I HAVE NO LIGHTS WHATSOEVER, SO NO ONE CAN SEE ME AT NIGHT. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AFTER A BUS ALMOST REAR-ENDED ME. PREVIOUSLY THEY REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR. THAT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY CANNOT FIX MY CAR.

• 12/29/2017· SUSPENSION

  TOYOTA ISSUED A RECALL FOR THE REAR SUSPENSION AND SUBSEQUENTLY REPAIRED MY VEHICLE; HOWEVER, THE FIX IS INADEQUATE. AFTER THE REAR SUSPENSION ARM (TIE ROD) IS EPOXIED INTO A FIXED POSITION, THE REAR TIRES CAN NO LONGER BE REALIGNED WITHOUT REPLACING THE ENTIRE SUSPENSION ARM. THIS FIX IS INADEQUATE AND PLACES UNDUE FINANCIAL BURDENS ON THE RAV4 OWNERS.

• 12/29/2013· ENGINE

  THIS CAR HAS STARTED TO BURN OIL EXCESSIVELY--AROUND 1 QUART FOR EVERY 600 MILES. IT HAS HAD ITS OIL CHANGED EVERY 5000 MILES SINCE IT WAS BRAND NEW, ALONG WITH ALL RECOMMENDED SERVICE AT THE RECOMMENDED INTERVALS AT THE DEALER. HAS AROUND 110,000 MILES ON IT. *TR

THE CAR HAS 31000 MILES AND JUST PASSED THE 36 MONTH WARRANTY. TOYOTA REFUSES TO HELP WITH THE COST OF REPAIR. MANY OTHER 2007 TOYOTA RAV4 OWNERS HAVE COMPLAINED OF THE SAME PROBLEM ONLINE. TOYOTA HAS ISSUED SERVICE BULLETIN #T-SB-0319-08" TO TELL THE TOYOTA MECHANICS HOW TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE STEERING SHAFTS. TOYOTA SHOULD BE MADE TO ISSUE A RECALL TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM. *TR

  2007 RAV4 USES AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL. I RECENTLY PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED WITH APPROXIMATELY 146,000 MILES. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN DRIVEN APPROXIMATELY 4,000 AND I HAVE HAD TO ADD 2 QUARTS OF OIL TO THE ENGINE. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THE SAME SITUATION AND TOYOTA IS DOING NOTHING TO FIX THE PROBLEM.

  2007 TOYOTA RAV 4. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO PROBLEMS WITH TIRE PRESSURE . *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE TIRES WOULD LOOSE AIR PRESSURE EVERY TWO TO THREE WEEKS, AND THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT WOULD ILLUMINATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP, WHERE THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THE TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR ON ALL FOUR WHEELS HAD DETERIORATED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER IT WAS A FREQUENT OCCURRENCE, BECAUSE THERE WERE SO MANY IN NEW ENGLAND AND DUE TO THE BAD WEATHER. THE DEALER STATED IT WOULD COST $250 PER TIRE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. UPDATED 01/15/13

• 12/27/2011· STEERING

  UPON STARTING THE CAR THE RED POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT (P/S) STAYED ON AND THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD NOT MOVE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN 2 WEEKS. WE ARE TOLD BY A MECHANIC THAT IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION. OTHERS ON THE INTERNET WITH THIS EXACT PROBLEM SAY IT COST $2500 TO FIX!! TURNING THE CAR OFF AND THEN BACK ON RELIEVED THE PROBLEM BUT IT CAME BACK AGAIN A WEEK LATER. GM ISSUED A RECALL QUICKLY FOR ITS CARS WHEN THEY HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE NEW ELECTRIC INSTEAD OF HYDRAULIC STEERING. THIS IS ANOTHER MAJOR DEFECT FOR TOYOTA WHICH COULD BE VERY SERIOUS IF THE STEERING FAILS WHILE DRIVING! LOSS OF STEERING CAN RESULT IN MAJOR ACCIDENTS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN THIS MATTER. LIVES WILL BE SAVED IF YOU MAKE TOYOTA MEET ITS RESPONSIBILITIES AND ISSUE A RECALL. *TR

• 12/27/2010· STEERING

  MY 2007 TOYOTA RAV4 LTD 4X4 HAS AN AUDIBLE AND PHYSICAL CLUNKING IN THE STEERING COLUMN WHEN TURNING AT ANY SPEED IN EITHER DIRECTION. I BEGAN NOTICING THE SOUND AROUND 80,000 MILES AND THEN BEGAN FEELING IT AROUND 90,000. I HAD IT LOOKED AT MY A QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN AND WAS TOLD MY ENTIRE STEERING COLUMN HAS DEFECTIVE BUSHINGS THAT ARE A DESIGN FLAW AND THE ENTIRE DUAL STEERING SHAFT WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED FOR $820.00. I WAS ALSO TOLD IT COULD BE A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE THE STEERING WILL NO LONGER BE FUNCTIONAL WHEN THE BUSHING ACTUALLY GIVE OUT. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE WHAT THE HELL WOULD HAPPEN GOING 60 MPH DOWN THE FREEWAY ON MY DAILY COMMUTE WHEN MY STEERING FAILS. THIS IS A KNOWN DESIGN FLAW BY TOYOTA, HOW ON EARTH DOES THIS NOT QUALIFY AS A SAFETY RECALL!!!?!?!?!?! *TR

• 12/27/2010· FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINECrash

  ON DECEMBER 20, 2010, I WAS PULLING MY 2007 TOYOTA RAV 4 INTO A PARKING SPACE AT STRIP MALL. I HAD PULLED IN AND THEN BACKED UP TO PULL IN STRAIGHTER. MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE AS I WAS CHANGING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE AND I GAVE THE CAR SOME GAS TO GET ME INTO THE SPACE. SUDDENLY, THE ENGINE REVVED AS IF THE GAS PEDAL WAS TO THE FLOOR. THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD AND CRASHED INTO THE CONCRETE BASE OF A LIGHT POLE. ALL THIS HAPPENED IN THE SPACE OF A FEW SECONDS AND MAYBE 10 TO 15 FEET. AFTER THE CAR WAS STOPPED, I LOOKED DOWN TO SEE IF SOMEHOW I ACCIDENTALLY HIT THE GAS BUT MY FOOT WAS SQUARELY ON THE BRAKE. FRIENDS AND ONLOOKERS HELPED ME UNTIL MY HUSBAND ARRIVED.LUCKILY I WAS NOT INJURED BUT VERY SHAKEN UP. MY HUSBAND TOOK PICTURES FROM EVERY ANGLE PLUS A VIEW OF THE FLOOR AREA AROUND THE GAS AND BRAKE PEDAL. THE GAS PEDAL DID NOT GET CAUGHT ON THE FLOOR MAT. I KNOW THIS WAS A CASE OF SUDDEN ACCELERATION, NO DOUBT ABOUT IT. AFTER MY HUSBAND FINISHED TALKING TO OUR INSURANCE AGENT, WE HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE TOYOTA DEALER WHICH HAPPENED TO BE ONLY SEVERAL MILES AWAY. THE INCIDENT WAS REPORTED TO THE SERVICE ADVISOR EXACTLY AS IT HAPPENED. SHE INDICATED THAT THEY ( THE DEALER ) HAD NO REPORTS OF SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. WE ASKED THE DEALER TO INVESTIGATE AS IT WAS OUR CONTENTION THAT THIS WAS NOT DRIVER ERROR. ON DECEMBER 21, THE DEALER SERVICE ADVISOR CALLED US BACK TO LET US KNOW THAT THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING ELSE TO THE VEHICLE AS TOYOTA EXPERIENCE WOULD BE CONDUCTING AN INVESTIGATION. WE SPOKE TO THE TOYOTA SPOKESMAN EXPLAINING WHAT HAPPENED AND HE ASKED US WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TOYOTA TO DO . WE SAID WE WOULD LIKE THE CAR REPAIRED AND THE ACCELERATION MODULE CHANGED OUT AT TOYOTA'S EXPENSE. HE THEN EXPLAINED THAT IT MIGHT TAKE UP TO 74 DAYS FOR THEM TO COMPLETE THEIR INVESTIGATION. WE ALSO EXPLAINED TO OUR INSURANCE WHAT WE WERE DOING. WE FEEL TOYOTA WILL DRAG THIS OUT TO GET US TO USE OUR INSURANCE BUT WE KNOW WHAT HAPPENED AND WE'RE STICKING TO OUR STORY. *TR

• 12/26/2015· STEERING

  AT 51,000 MILES, THERE IS A HEAVY RATTLE IN THE FRONT END WHEN DRIVING ON ROUGH ROADS. AFTER REPLACING SEVERAL PARTS, LOCAL MECHANICS NOW TELL ME THAT THE RACK AND PINION STEERING GEAR NEEDS REPLACEMENT. THIS DOES NOT SEEM TO BE THE INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT PROBLEM THAT IS THE SUBJECT OF TOYOTA SERVICE BULLETIN #T-SB-0319-08. I DO NOT FEEL ANYTHING ABNORMAL IN THE STEERING WHEEL, STEERING IS SMOOTH AND THE PROBLEM IS NOT NOTICEABLE DRIVING ON SMOOTH ROAD SURFACES. THE NOISE SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE WITH TIME, SO I AM CONCERNED THAT THE STEERING COULD FAIL ALTOGETHER.

• 12/26/2014· VISIBILITY/WIPER

  THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR HANGS DOWN BLOCKING THE DRIVER'S VIEW. THERE IS NO ADJUSTMENT. PAT LOBB'S TOYOTA OF MCKINNEY REPORTS THAT WHILE IT MAY BE A SAFETY HAZARD, THERE IS NO RECALL. THEIR SOLUTION IS TO BUY NEW VISORS. THERE IS NO ADJUSTMENT TO TIGHTEN IT MYSELF. IT IS UNSAFE AND $250 FOR NEW VISORS. FROM REPORTS ON THE WEB, MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE CREATING AN UNSAFE VEHICLE. *TR

I WILL HAVE TO DO THE SAME REPAIR ON THE SECOND RAV4 THIS WEEK. THERE ARE LESS THAN 33,000 ON EACH CAR. TOYOTA REFUSES TO HELP WITH THE COST OF REPAIR. MANY OTHER 2007 TOYOTA RAV4 OWNERS HAVE COMPLAINED OF THE SAME PROBLEM ONLINE. TOYOTA HAS ISSUED SERVICE BULLETIN #T-SB-0319-08" TO TELL THE TOYOTA MECHANICS HOW TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE STEERING SHAFTS. TOYOTA SHOULD BE MADE TO ISSUE A RECALL TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM.

• 12/25/2010· STEERING

  STEERING HAS HAD A "CLUNKING" NOISE FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. I READ ONLINE FROM NUMEROUS OTHER 2007 RAV4 OWNERS THAT TOYOTA HAS ISSUED SERVICE BULLETIN #T-SB-0318-08 TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. MY TOYOTA DEALER REPLACED ONE OF THE INTERMEDIATE SHAFTS HAS INSTRUCTED IN THE SERVICE BULLETIN. REPAIRS COST ME $414.00. NOISE HAS BEEN ELIMINATED. I OWN TWO RAV4S YEAR 2007.

• 12/23/2010· STEERING

  I WOULD LIKE TO FILE A COMPLAINT WHICH SOME OF THE RAV4 OWNERS WERE EXPERIENCING AS I BROWSE THROUGH THE INTERNET I FOUND A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS. I'M NOT SURE IF EVERYBODY FILED A COMPLAINT ABOUT THIS. MY CAR IS ONLY 38 MONTHS OLD AND BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW. I HAVE 37000 MI ON IT. WHAT I NOTICED IS A CLICKING SOUND WHEN I'M TURNING SLOWLY TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT, MOSTLY WHEN I'M PARKING. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER AND THEY DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING COLUMN SHAFT IS MALFUNCTIONING AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THEY SAID IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE IF NOT TAKEN CARE OF BECAUSE THE STEERING WHEEL MIGHT GET STUCKED. *LN

• 12/23/2009· ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING

  2007 TOYOTA RAV 4: ENGINETYPE V6 1) DRIVING CAR ON HIGHWAY AT NIGHT, STOPPED AT LIGHT, SMELLED OIL BURNING THOUGHT SMELL WAS FROM OTHER VEHICLES. CONTINUED TO DRIVE WHEN STOPPED AT NEXT STOP LIGHT SMELLED OIL BURNING, SAW LIGHT TRAILS OF SMOKE AROUND HEAD LIGHTS. WATCHED GAUGES AND GOT THE CAR HOME. 2) SHUT OF ENGINE RAISED HOOD AND REMOVED PLASTIC ENGINE COVER. SAW OIL WAS ALL OVER THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT OF ENGINE NEAR FIRE WALL AND WHEEL ON WELL COVER. HAD WIFE START CAR, SAW OIL SQUIRTING IN A SMALL STREAM FROM A RUBBER HOSE ATTACHED TO METAL PIPE. THE PIPE THE HOSE WAS ATTACHED TO WAS ATTACHED TO ENGINES CYLINDER HEAD NEXT TO FIRE WALL AT THE FRONT OF THE CYLINDER HEAD. 3) I HAVE HAD THE CAR SINCE DEC. 2007 WHEN IT WAS BRAND NEW IT NOW HAS 80,000. MILES. I TALKED TO THE LOCAL DEALER ABOUT THIS SPECIFIC FAILURE, I WAS TOLD THERE WAS A BULLETIN FOR THIS PROBLEM. I GAVE THE DEALER MY VIN AND MILEAGE, I WAS TOLD MY VIN WAS NOT ON THE LIST AND MY MILES WERE WELL OVER THE VEHICLES WARRANTY LIMIT OF 3 YEARS OR 36,000 MILES. I WAS TOLD IF I WANTED A QUOTE I WOULD NEED TO GET IT TOWED IN AND THEY WOULD GIVE ME A QUOTE FOR THE WORK. AT THIS TIME BASED ON ALL THE INFORMATION STILL AM INVESTIGATING MY OPTIONS FOR THIS REPAIR TO ATTEMPT TO REDUCE MY COSTS. THE REPAIR OF THIS FAILED OIL LINE ENTAILS THE REMOVAL OF THE COMPLETE FAILED OIL LINE END TO END AND THE INSTALLATION OF A COMPLETE METAL PIPE ASSEMBLY. SO FAR I AM FINDING THIS FAILURE SEEMS TO BE A QUITE COMMON WITH THIS MODEL ENGINE WITH THIS OIL LINE CONFIGURATION. BASED ON THIS FAILURE AND THAT IT IS A KNOW PROBLEM WITH TOYOTA, I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT I'M STUCK WITH ALL THE COSTS. PLUS I COULD FOR SEE IN SOME FAILURES ONE MIGHT NOT DETECT THE PROBLEM THUS EXPERIENCING A FULL ENGINE FAILURE. I WOULD HAVE TO BELIEVE IF IT IS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, YOU'LL NEVER RECEIVE A COMPLAINT ON THIS PROBLEM. FROM A CROSS SECTIONAL POINT, YOUR ONLY EXPERIENCING THOSE OF US TRAPPED WITH A DESIGN FLAW. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER, BUT NO FAILURES WERE FOUND WITH THE AIR BAGS. THE MANUFACTURER AGREED WITH THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 125,000.

• 12/22/2015· STEERING

  I PURCHASED MY RAV4 USED ABOUT 12 MONTHS AGO. WITHIN THE PAST 3 MONTHS I'VE NOTICES PROBLEMS WITH MY STEERING. SLOW TURNS MAKE A CLUNKING SOUND WITH LOOSE MOVEMENT AND VIBRATION FELT IN THE STEERING WHEEL. INITIALLY I WAS TOLD IT WAS A BAD STRUT, WHICH I REPLACED, BUT THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO GET A LITTLE WORSE BY THE DAY. IN CHECKING ONLINE I SEE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME NATURE, SOME RESULTING IN SERIOUS ACCIDENTS. IT APPEARS THAT THE RACK & PINION ASSEMBLY IS DEFECTIVE SINCE THE PROBLEM IS SO WIDESPREAD. I HAVE NOT SEEN A RECALL ON THIS AND WONDER WHY SINCE STEERING IS SO ESSENTIAL TO THE SAFE OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE. I WILL BE CONTACTING MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER SERVICE DEPT. TO SEE WHAT CAN BE DONE.

• 12/20/2010· STEERING

  POPPING AND CLUNKING SOUND AND FEEL IN STEERING WHEEL NOTICEABLE MORE AT LOW SPEEDS. OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND ONE THAT TOYOTA IS FULLY AWARE OF TO THE POINT OF ISSUING SERVICE BULLETIN IN 2008 ADDRESSING THE CONCERN. THE SOLUTION IS A RE-DESIGN OF THE COLUMN COMPONENTS. THIS INFORMATION WAS NOT PASSED ON TO VEHICLE OWNERS AS APPARENTLY TOYOTA REALIZED MANY FAILURES WOULD OCCUR OR BE NOTICED BEYOND THE ORIGINAL WARRANTY PERIOD. THIS DESERVES A RECALL. A KNOWN DESIGN FLAW IN A SAFETY COMPONENT SHOULD NOT COST THE CONSUMER $700 TO $1000 TO REPAIR. NOR SHOULD IT TAKE A NUMBER OF ACCIDENTS OR LOSS OF ONE LIFE BEFORE ACTION IS TAKEN. *TR

• 12/19/2015· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,EXTERIOR LIGHTING,ENGINE

  WHILE DRIVING THE CAR SUDDENLY LOSES ALL ELECTRICITY, ALL THE LIGHTS, EVERY LIGHT INDICATOR, THE RADIO ARE OFF. THE ENGINE STOPS RUNNING AND THE CAR STOPS IMMEDIATELY. THIS NORMALLY HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS BUT ALSO HAPPENED ONCE WHEN THE CAR WAS PARKED AND THE KEY WAS OUT. AFTER I ENTERED AND TURNED THE KEY THE CAR WOULDN'T START AND THERE WAS NO ELECTRICITY IN THE CAR. NO LIGHTS, NO INDICATORS, ETC WERE ON. TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC TO TAKE A LOOK BUT HE COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING. ALSO TOOK IT TO TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND THE TECHNICIAN INSPECTED IT AND RAN A DIAGNOSTICS TEST BUT COULDN'T FIND THE PROBLEM EITHER.

• 12/18/2015· ENGINE

  HELLO, MY WIFE OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA RAV4 WITH 108,000 MILES ON IT. IT RECEIVED AN OIL CHANGE AT 103K MILES, AND I JUST BROUGHT IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A SUSPICIOUS (AND LOUD) TOP END NOISE, AND THE ENGINE APPEARED TO BE EMPTY OF OIL WHEN THE DEALERSHIP CHECKED IT. THERE WERE NO WARNINGS, OTHER THAN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON AT PRECISELY THE RIGHT TIME TO INDICATE THE NEXT OIL CHANGE. ALSO NO PUDDLES OF OIL IN THE DRIVEWAY. THIS APPEARS TO MAKE ME (AT LEAST POTENTIALLY) AN INTERESTED PARTY IN THE TOYOTA OIL CONSUMPTION DEFECT CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT , APRIL LAX, ET AL. V. TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION, ET AL., CASE NO. 14-CV-01490, IN THE U.S. DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA.

• 12/18/2012· SUSPENSION

  MY VEHICLE RECENTLY HAD A RECALL FOR POTENTIAL RUST ISSUES WITH THE REAR LOWER SUSPENSION ARM. BOTH MY SWAY BAR ARMS ARE NOW BROKEN DUE TO RUST AND TOYOTA IS CHARGING ME $500 TO FIX THE ISSUE. THE SERVICE REP AT THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME "THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE BUT THE SWAY BARS PREVENT THE CAR FROM ROLLING OVER." THIS SOUNDS LIKE A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE TO ME AND ALSO DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE RECALL ISSUE. THIS IS THE 6TH RECALL ON MY VEHICLE AND I HAVE SUBMITTED A REQUEST TO TOYOTA TO FIX THIS ISSUE AT NO COST. CONSIDERING TOYOTA DID NOT HAVE A SOLUTION TO THE REAR SUSPENSION RECALL AND FORCED IT'S OWNERS TO DRIVE WITH THE PROBLEM FOR MULTIPLE MONTHS EXPOSING US TO POTENTIAL DANGER, ASKING THEM TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AT NO COST IS REASONABLE. MY DEALERSHIP EVEN WENT AS FAR AS TO TELL ME THAT IF I WANTED THEM TO INSPECT THE RECALL SITUATION PRIOR TO A FIX BEING AVAILABLE I WOULD HAVE TO PAY LABOR COSTS. LAST TIME I CHECKED, THE CUSTOMER SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING LABOR COSTS DUE TO A RECALL. I WOULD APPRECIATE THAT THE SWAY BAR ARMS ON MY RAV4 ARE FIXED AT NO COST. IF RUST CAUSING "THREADS MAY WEAR, CAUSING THE ARM TO SEPARATE, WHICH COULD RESULT IN THE LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH" THAT RESULTED IN MY RECALL THAN IT SEEMS LIKE THE TWO PROBLEMS ARE RELATED AS THE PARTS ARE IN SIMILAR AREAS OF THE UNDERCARRIAGE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE. *TR

  LEADS TO BATTERY WERE COLORED WRONG. THE POSITIVE LEAD WAS PAINTED BLACK AND THE NEGATIVE LEAD WAS PAINTED RED. WHEN I JUMP-STARTED THE CAR I PUT THE BATTERY CABLES TO THE ASSOCIATED COLORS. IT WAS CONNECTED FOR ABOUT 1 MINUTE WHEN I NOTICED SOMETHING SMOKING. AFTER I FOUND OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS I CORRECTED THE CONNECTION AND STARTED THE CAR. THE CAR WOULD ONLY IDLE DUE TO A BLOWN FUSE, WHICH THE CAR DEALERSHIP HAD TO FIND. *TR

• 12/17/2014· ENGINE

  I WAS TOLD THAT MY RAV4 WAS VERY LOW ON OIL AND THAT I SHOULD HAVE IT LOOKED AT. THOUGH I USUALLY HAVE MY OIL CHANGED AT THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP, THEY NEVER MENTIONED ANYTHING TO ME ABOUT LOW LEVELS OF OIL IN MY CAR. I LEARNED ABOUT THE LOW LEVEL OF OIL WHEN I TOOK MY CAR TO A CHAIN TO HAVE THE OIL CHANGED. HOWEVER, THE PEOPLE AT TOYOTA HAVE BEEN AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM SINCE 2011. I MENTIONED THE ISSUE TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE ME RETURN ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS FOR OIL CONSUMPTION TESTS. NOW MY CAR HAS EXCEEDED THE MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY AND TOYOTA HAS INFORMED ME THAT MY EXTENDED WARRANTY MAY NOT COVER THE COST OF REPAIRS EVEN THOUGH THE CAR WAS UNDER MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY BEFORE THE PROBLEM WAS POINTED OUT TO ME. I WAS ALSO INFORMED TODAY THAT IT COULD COST ME $1100-$1200 JUST TO HAVE TO ENGINE TAKEN APART. THE COST OF REPAIRING THE VEHICLE WILL INCREASE IF THEY TAKE IT APART AND THE PROBLEM ISN'T COVERED BY MY EXTENDED WARRANTY. *TR

• 12/17/2013· ENGINE

  CURRENT MILEAGE ON CAR IS 114,000. SINCE CAR TURNED 94,000 HAS HAD INTERNAL OIL LEAK AND NEED TO ADD 2.5 Q OF OIL APPROX EVERY 1,500-2,000 MILES. MY MECHANIC JUST FOUND OUT THAT IN 2011, TOYOTA PUT OUT A SERVICE BULLETIN ABOUT EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION ON THIS CAR MAKE AND MODEL YEAR, AND OTHER TOYOTAS DUE TO A FAULTY PISTON ASSEMBLY. THEY ONLY COVER THIS REPAIR UP UNTIL 60,000 MILES. THIS IS AN ENGINE DEFECT AND MILEAGE SHOULD HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. COST TO REPAIR IS $5,500 ACCORDING TO MY TOYOTA DEALER. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. PAYING OVER $5,000 FOR A VEHICLE REPAIR BECAUSE OF TOYOTA'S FAULTY ENGINE SHOULD BE ILLEGAL. PLEASE MAKE TOYOTA PAY FOR THIS!! THIS IS HAPPENING TO THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE. I SPOKE WITH A SUPERVISOR AT TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND HE SAID THERE WAS NOTHING HE COULD DO FOR ME (EXCEPT OFFER ME A SLIGHT INCENTIVE TOWARD BUYING A NEW CAR - I WILL NEVER BUY A TOYOTA AGAIN!) *TR

  WHILE DRIVING ON AN EXPRESSWAY I ATTEMPTED TO SLOW MY VEHICLE. THE BRAKES BEGAN TO ENGAGE BUT THEN I FELT THE CAR ACCELERATE AND THE CAR "STUTTERED". IT MAY HAVE BEEN THE BRAKE ASSIST KICKING IN. IT ACCELERATED. AFTER A FEW SECONDS, THE BRAKES FINALLY ENGAGED. ABOUT 2 MILES DOWN THE ROAD, THE SAME THING HAPPENED EXCEPT THAT THE BRAKES DID NOT ENGAGE UNTIL A FEW SECONDS LATER AND I REAR-ENDED SOMEONE. THANKFULLY THERE WERE NO INJURIES.

  EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. NOTICES MY VEHICLE USED 1/2 A QUART OF OIL IN 480 MILE. TOOK IT IN FOR EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. DEALER INDICATED I MAY HAVE TO DO $170-$1200 IN GASKET REPLACEMENT TO QUALIFY FOR WARRANTY REPAIRS. FIRST I COULD NOT SEE WHAT THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT, I.E. NOT LEAKS VISIBLE/APPARENT TO ME. ALSO THIS DID NOT MAKE SENSE ESPECIALLY SINCE THE REPAIRS THEY INDICATED I MAY NEED TO DO, WILL HAVE TO BE REDONE DURING THE WARRANTY REPAIRS. WHEN ASKED WHY, THEY SAID THEY HAD TO REQUIRE THEM TO BE DONE BECAUSE TOYOTA HQ WOULD STICK THEM WITH THE WARRANTY REPAIR BILL IF THEY DISAGREED WITH THEM AS TO WHETHER TO AUTHORIZE THE WARRANTY REPAIRS. TOYOTA HAS ADMITTED THEY HAVE A DESIGN FLAW IN THIS ENGINE IN THIS VEHICLE. WHY WON'T THEY FIX IT WITHOUT SUCH A HASSLE. THIS NEEDS TO BE MADE A FORMAL RECALL SO THEY ARE FORCED TO STOP TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THEIR CUSTOMERS.

  CONSOLE AIRBAG SENSOR WARNING LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AND STAYS ON. COINCIDENTLY THIS AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT ISSUE CAME ABOUT AFTER HAVING TAKEN CAR INTO A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AROUND SEPT 2012 FOR A RECALL. THE RECALL HAD SOMETHING DO WITH FAULTY ROLL-OVER SENSOR FOR THE SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG SYSTEMS. TOOK THE CAR TO A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. AFTER DTC CHECK, THE CAUSE TURNED OUT TO BE A SHORTED SPIRAL CABLE ASSEMBLY UNIT FOR THE SRS DRIVER AIRBAG. REPLACEMENT JOB REQUIRED TWO HOURS OF LABOR BY TECH, COSTING $210, $307 PART AND "SUPPLIES AND WASTE DISPOSAL" FEE OF $25.88. ACCORDING TO INTERNET SEARCH, IT IS SEEMS THERE HAVE BEEN CASES OF DEFECTIVE SPIRAL CABLE UNIT FOR TOYOTA RAV 4 CAUSING SRS AIRBAG SYSTEM TO GO INTO "INACTIVE" MODE THEREFORE LEAVING DRIVERS/PASSENGERS WITHOUT ANY PROTECTION AND THEREBY CREATING LIFE THREATENING SCENARIO. THEREFORE, THERE IS CLEAR AND STRONG NEED FOR THE NHTSA TO CONTACT TOYOTA CORPORATION TO INITIATE A RECALL ACTION TARGETING THE SPIRAL CABLE ASSEMBLY UNIT (84306-22010). IN RECENT PAST, "TOYOTA IS RECALLING 495,000 CERTAIN 2005 TO EARLY 2009 MODEL YEAR TOYOTA TACOMA VEHICLES SOLD IN THE U.S. NO OTHER VEHICLES ARE INVOLVED IN THIS RECALL". *TR

• 12/16/2011· STEERING

  HEARING A CLUCKING NOISE FROM STEERING COLUMN FOR LAST COUPLE OF YEARS. IT WAS GETTING WORSE AND INCREASED FREQUENCY SO WE TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER. SERVICE DEPT PERSONNEL SAID THEY HAD REPLACED OTHER STEERING SHAFTS BUT NO RECALL ON OUR RAV4'S YEAR. 2001 & 02'S AND OTHER YEARS HAVE RECALLS. SEARCHED ON-LINE AND THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHER POSTS WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM ON 2006 & 07 RAV4S. WHY IS TOYOTA NOT ACKNOWLEDGING THIS PROBLEM. OTHERS HAVE STATED THE STEERING WILL EVIDENTLY GO OUT. DEFINITE MAJOR SAFETY PROBLEM. $800+ COST TO FIX. *TR

  THIS MODEL TOYOTA HAS A RECORD OF STUCK OIL RINGS CAUSING EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION WHICH LEADS TO FAILURE OF ENGINE AND CATALYTIC CONVERTER. SEE NEW YORK TIMES OCT 14,2011 AND THE HUNDREDS OF ON LINE COMPLAINTS ABOUT USING ONE QUART OF OIL EVERY 1 K MILES. IN NOVEMBER OF LAST YEAR MY TECHNICIAN DID A COMPLETE CHECK WITH OIL CHANGE, IN JAN THIS YEAR THE OIL WAS DOWN ONE QUART AND IN FEB. I DID ANOTHER OIL CHANGE WITH ONLY TWO QUARTS OF OIL LEFT IN THE PAN WHEN IT TAKES 4-1/2 QUARTS. I TOOK MY RAV 4 TO THE DEALER(4-23-2013) I BOUGHT IT FROM AND WITHOUT LOOKING AT IT I WAS TOLD THE OIL RINGS GET STUCK AND I NEED AN ENGINE REPAIR FOR $3,000 PLUS TAX. I HAD THEM CHECK IT OUT AND I GOT A WRITTEN DOCUMENT WITH THE REPAIR THAT IS NEEDED DOCUMENTED. THIS "NEEDS" TO BE A RECALL ITEM. IF A CAR DOING 70MPH HAS AN ENGINE FAILURE DUE TO LOSS OF OIL THEN THE PERSON WILL LOOSE STEERING AND BRAKE CONTROL LEADING TO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND MOST LIKELY DEATH. TOYOTA DID TWO RECALLS ON MY CAR IN APRIL, DOOR SWITCH NEEDED A DROP OF OIL AND REAR SUSPENSION NEEDED TO BE RE-TORQUED. MADE A BIG DEAL OUT OF WHAT COST PENNIES TO FIX. NOW A $3,000 ENGINE REPAIR AND WE NEED TO GO TO SMALL CLAIMS COURT OR CLASS ACTION SUIT OR PLEAD TO YOU TO HELP US GET THIS A RECALL ITEM. *TR

• 12/14/2011· SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC

  I HAVE HAD MY RAV4 SINCE OCT. 2007, BOUGHT IT NEW AND 2 1/2 YEARS AFTER OWNING IT I HAD TO REPLACE THE FRONT BRAKES IN JUNE 2010. I JUST PURCHASED NEW TIRES FOR MY RAV4 AND HAD THEM PUT ON IN NOV. 2011 AND I WAS TOLD THAT I NEED BRAKES AGAIN. NOW FROM JUNE 2010 TO NOV. 2011 I SHOULD STILL HAVE A LOT OF BRAKE LEFT INSTEAD OF HAVING TO REPLACE THEM. IF THIS IS GOING TO BE AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH MY RAV4 I WILL TRADE IT IN AND BUY A NISSAN SUV INSTEAD. I DON'T HAVE MONEY TO CHANGE MY BRAKES EVERY 1 1/2 YEARS ON MY VEHICLE. IF I HAD KNOWN THIS WAS GOING TO BE A PROBLEM I WOULDN'T HAVE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE. I WOULD'VE BOUGHT SOMETHING DIFFERENT. DON'T GET ME WRONG I LOVE MY CAR BUT I FEEL THAT I SHOULD GET MORE WEAR AND TEAR FROM MY BRAKES THAN A 1 1/2 YEARS. MAYBE THE TOYOTA COMPANY SHOULD CHECK THE MATERIAL THE BRAKES WAS MADE FROM TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S NOT DEFECTIVE. *TR

• 12/13/2011· STEERING

  EXPERIENCED KNOCKING AND POPPING NOISE WITH VIBRATION IN THE STEERING COLUMN WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS CONDITION WORSENED OVER THE COURSE OF A FEW WEEKS AND EVENTUALLY BECAME CONSTANT. THE DEALERSHIP'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT DETERMINED THE NOISE WAS COMING FROM THE STEERING RACK AND NOT THE INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFTS AND RECOMMENDED REPLACEMENT OF THE STEERING GEAR ASSEMBLY PER T-SB-0308-08 "STEERING RACK NOISE". I'M CONCERNED THIS MIGHT BE A SAFETY ISSUE THAT COULD RESULT IN FAILURE OF THE STEERING COMPONENTS AND HAVE THE POTENTIAL FOR LOSING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. *TR
