Not only is it very LOW on the door panel, but you have to squeeze your arm between your body and the door to reach it. Also, the way the seat is set up, you can't get a comfortable footing on the gad pedal. Its as if your foot wants to go through it. As for resting your right leg, forget about it. Your leg has nowhere to rest and just dangles as you accelerate. A couple of hours of driving and you leg is numb. It's such a shame because these problems detract from an otherwise GREAT little and SAFE SUV (I have the side air curtains). It's got to the point that I don't enjoy driving the Rav because it's too uncomfortable and awkward the way it seats. I enjoy driving my Sante Fe A LOT better and my wife uses the Rav which she doesn't mind, but she's not as picky with cars as I. Does anybody agree with the problems I have and how did you overcome them? Changed seats? Of just live with it?

I suggest instead of blaming Toyota for everything wrong in your life, that you start talking responsibility for your mistakes and actions. |

Thanks for having me. How can you tell what post somebody is replying to? I just responded to another member who was complaining about the Rav4 safety and the high interest rate they got hit with, and my response looks odd just sitting there without other members knowing which specific post I responded to. Thanks

Also, let's try to tone down our disagreements with others. Raising questions or disagreeing is one thing but confrontation is a turnoff. Thanks. tidester, host

Replying to: tidester (Nov 02, 2004 1:15 am) My sincerest apologies to you, the member I replied to and the entire board. I will give it more thought before I type away with my respone in the future and I'll be more subtle and cordial. I understand that hitting the reply link will direct me to that specific post I'm replying to. What if I wanted to see what someone else is replying to? Are you saying the only way to do this is to backtrack and follow prior posts to see the context? I'm a little confused and wonder if I have my preferences set wrong. Thanks again, and I promise to be a good soldier. Some great info is given here and I'd like to contribute whatever I can. Rob

I'm hoping this might help with anyone who has the rattle and nothing seems to be working. I read some good advice here concerning the 3M tape to prevent the rattle. In case that doesn't seem to be working well, I did locate the exact position where the rattle comes from. On the cowl there is a 1/2 black strip on the very top that snaps on. If you go to the drivers side and lift it (I put a wedge there) you will probably eliminate the rattle. Now you can be better prepared to show your Toyota service person the spot that is causing the rattle. If they don't know, they might not pay attention to that specific location and apply a thin strip across the entire cowl. If they focus on that one area and put something there to give it some lift, you might rid yourself of the rattle as I did. I just used a wet paper towel to wedge in there for testing purposes. This Thursday I have an appointment and I'll explain it to the service tech so he'll know what material to put in that location that won't be visible and not come off. Hope this helps. |
