Replying to: cindyc (Feb 11, 2005 6:49 am) Wow! That's great! I guess even the most reliable car producer makes a mistake every once in a while.

Replying to: cindyc (Feb 11, 2005 6:49 am) Good for you. Toyota did the right thing. Although Toyota has a reputation for manufacturing reliable vehicles, anything can happen. It is mechanical and that's why there is a warranty (peace of mind). I guess you could "By the way, what caused the problem? Just curious." with the dealer. What's important is that they did the right thing.

Replying to: cindyc (Feb 11, 2005 6:49 am) That is great news Cindyc. I would like to know what happened, too. Did they ever determine if this "mud" was "sludge" or "gel"? I am glad Toyota valued you as a customer!
#1764 of 2123 Engine Noise by new4 Feb 14, 2005 (8:48 am)
Hi all,   Just purchased a RAV4 4 Dr. 4WD on Saturday 2/12/05 for a Valentines Day gift for my wife.   I found the engine noise in the interior to be very loud, almost like a Diesel Auto...   I say this because a co-worker of mine purchased a 2004 RAV4 late November 2004 and the engine noise inside and outside doesn't seem anywhere as loud.   Any ideas, please

Take the RAV 4 back to the dealership. Something is wrong with it. I have one and the engine is quiet.
#1766 of 2123 96 Rav Frozen Door Lock Question PLEASE HELP!!! by andrelaplume Feb 17, 2005 (7:02 am)
HELP! Surely I can not be the only one with this issue. For the last 4 years in the winter the driver side door lock will periodically freeze shut in very cold weather. If you click the unlock button on the key fob all doors unlock EXCEPT the driver door. If you enter the car you can not even manually flip it. The key will not open the door either. If you run the car until the cabin warms up then it eventually may be manually flipped or will open if you hit the key fob or unlock switch.   Any ideas what causes this to happen and only on this one door? Better yet, what might be a fix...   THANKS!!!!!! Replies to this message: wsommariva (Feb 18, 2005 11:42 am)

Replying to: andrelaplume (Feb 17, 2005 7:02 am) Moisture in the lock? Do you park outside and does the driver's side get hit with wind/rain/sleet? Try positioning the car so that the driver's side is protected.
#1768 of 2123 Lock Moisture... by andrelaplume Feb 18, 2005 (11:49 am)
Yes the car is outside, along with my Camry and every other car on the block. No others ever had this problem. Like I said, not only can you not use the key but the lock button will also not flip. Replies to this message: david11 (Feb 25, 2005 7:08 am)
#1769 of 2123 3rd time may be charm by escapenut Feb 22, 2005 (1:19 pm)
I took my wife's '03 RAV04 in for the third time to fix the dash-rattle. Upon closer inspection, I was told later, that the noise seemed to be coming from behind the instrument panel, with either the air vent-tube or other plastic parts clanging together. The NVH tech. took it this time and seemed to fix it right. So far, so good, after one week, no noise from the dash in hot-cold weather, or going over rough-smooth roads, or anything. My wife is elated finally, as these little noises drive her crazy. After the dealer-cowl fix, complete dash-removal and insulation, and instrument panel removal and insulation, it seems that this may have done the trick. If not, then at least I've got a well-insulated dash area. If you have similar noises under warranty insist that Toyota fix the problem. Don MCgill Toyota did for me. I know that the service advisor probably got sick of dealing with me, but he never denied hearing the noise and persisted with the tech. until it was fixed. Kudos to Don McGill for not denying a problem and recognizing that it should be fixed.
