#4 of 768 Steering Wheel Lock--does it? by lampwalk May 07, 2006 (6:17 pm)
I am used to, after turning off my vehicle, in Park, taking key out of ignition for the steering wheel to "lock" into position, but my RAV 4 V6 4x4 does not do that--is this normal?
#5 of 768 Downshift and brake fade issues by bob777 May 08, 2006 (6:03 am)
I've had this SUV for about three months now and I'm not at all happy with it. The break fade seems to have gotten better now that it is broken in, but the breaks would fade even during the first hard breaking in warm dry weather. So much so, I thought I would not get the vehicle stopped in a couple of situations. I don't drive fast either and I have not noticed this issue on any of the last few cars I've had or the other cars I have now. Anyone else have this or know what could be causing this?   The other issues is downshifting. Lack of downshift has happened twice now when I was going about 10 MPH and tried to pull into the next lane. The SUV stays in the higher gear even with my entire strength pressing the accelerator to the floor, even when I slam it to the floor several times. Anyone else have this or know what could be causing this?   It seems Edmunds won't post my review of the Rav4 outlining this. I'm not sure why, but I can't believe I'm the only one with these issues.

Replying to: bob777 (May 08, 2006 6:03 am) It seems Edmunds won't post my review of the Rav4 outlining this   When did you submit the review? They are reviewed for content (profanity, spam, etc.) so they don't get posted immediately.   Other owners -- please take a few minutes to write your own review.   Steve, Host Replies to this message: bob777 (May 08, 2006 4:00 pm) steve_ (May 08, 2006 6:48 pm) bob777 (May 20, 2006 6:05 pm) and 1 more...

Replying to: steve_ (May 08, 2006 6:33 am) I submitted it a several days ago. There was no profanity or spam. Not sure why it was not posted. I suppose I should try again, perhaps I hit the wrong key. Replies to this message: steve_ (May 08, 2006 6:48 pm) bob777 (May 20, 2006 6:05 pm) steve_ (May 20, 2006 6:48 pm)

Replying to: bob777 (May 08, 2006 4:00 pm) Several days isn't long enough for your review to go up; it takes several days just to review a batch, and then a while longer to queue them up for posting. I bet there's at least four or five hundred ones submitted every week.   I'd give it a couple of weeks before writing another review. Of course you could write reviews for any other cars you own in the meantime.   Steve, Host Replies to this message: bob777 (May 20, 2006 6:05 pm) steve_ (May 20, 2006 6:48 pm)
