Replying to: Thinkinghard (Dec 17, 2008 5:34 am) Thoughtfull, huh...?? Although my state, WA, requires a front plate I always have a recent re-order of the front custom, personalized plate, in the car just in case..... re-order costs ~$13 every 3-4 months. Damn, where did I lose or misplace that front one....??

Replying to: wwest (Dec 17, 2008 12:24 pm) The distance between dimples is even larger than my plate! It sounds ridiculous but it is true. I can drive to the dealer but it is too far away. I am not confident to get it done without hurting the body so I will let local garage to do it... sigh....troublesome!

Replying to: Thinkinghard (Dec 17, 2008 3:02 pm) Because of the curvature, vertical curvature, of the bumper there is usually an adapter included with a new car purchase. The adapter fits the holes and then has the correct, standard, mounting holes for the license plate.

Replying to: wwest (Dec 18, 2008 2:12 pm) I called the dealer and they said no such adaptor needed for Rav4.Only corolla need such a thing. That is absurd. But they did not mind if I could drive my car there and let them install it. Well, I know the dealer is 80miles away so I just asked a local garage to install the plate to the front bumper directly. Oooops, hopefully my hassles end here.

| Wifes RAV4 died at an intersection. Would restart at first but barely run (no power). Found fuel pump not running. Cut out relay is OK but does not get an activation from the ECM/ PCM. Can jumper the relay and run the fuel pump but engine will not start. Suspect ECM / PCM is keeping ignition or injectors off also. What conditions must be met for the ECM / PCM to allow the fuel pump to run? Hate to replace the ECM / PCM unless I know it is bad. | |

Replying to: canam1960 (Oct 14, 2008 2:12 pm) I am still miffed that this is a problem that Toyota knows about and has issued the TSB about...but I still have to pay for it. I wish I had known while I was still within my warranty at least. Hopefully, this repair will fix the problem. I still feel cheated and "taken" and feel that I am paying for a problem that they knew existed and is potentially dangerous. It is my understanding that the steering wheel can "lock up" if the issue is not corrected in time. Shouldn't this be a recall? I also thought Toyota was supposed to be an honest company, but I am not impressed |

Replying to: carperson1 (Jan 09, 2009 1:18 pm) Toyota quality is not what the trade papers think it is. It has gone down hill in a hurry. I cancelled my order on a new Venza and told the sales manager I'll look elsewhere and "Good Luck" |
