The dashboard noise discussed in previous posts is back though not quite as bad as before, but still there nonetheless. It can definitely be heard over some paved roads, moderately bumpy, etc. Two (2) fixes have been applied by the dealership : 1.) Cowl fix kit (did not help at all as applied). 2.) Dash rattle fix kit per Toyota (noise started about two (2) weeks after being in shop overnight for fix). I was contacted by the dealer customer satisfaction dept. about the fix, and I received a follow-up call from the Service Advisor because of it. They want us to bring the vehicle back in the shop again. Good-sign, but very inconvenient, d/t wife's work schedule. Will try again and report back. My wife is about ready to trade d/t the dash-rattle. Sounds goofey, but she's pretty TO'd. Otherwise she loves the vehicle. For free it's worth a try again.

Has anybody driven a rav where the timing belt has broken while driving? We have a 96 rav with 57000 miles. The manual says to check the belt at 60000 miles, a mechanic wants to sell me a new one for 500 dollars. I'm trying to decide if this ia really necessary. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

| Don't know if this is the appropriate forum, but for those interested in the '06, there are several web cites showing drawings of the newly styled model, and what appears to be reliable source states that a V6 RAV4 will appear a few months later (perhaps December or January). | |

Replying to: richardson (Jan 22, 2005 6:32 pm) I'd also shop for prices at the most convenient Toyota dealerships, and get the water pump changed out at the same time. With only 57k miles on it, your RAV might have a lot of life left. If I thought I might sell the RAV in a year or two, I'd probably take my chances not replacing the belt. Judging by the mileage on it, maybe you don't stray too far from home. Have you had the '96 RAV since new? Any problems? Good luck.

Replying to: richardson (Jan 24, 2005 5:21 pm) So you have had the '96 since new. Just imagine all the car payments you aren't making these days. -ss4 |
