#334 of 404 Vibration issue at speeds over 50mph by kelntomh Dec 05, 2007 (11:16 am)
Hi,   I have a 2007 RAV4 4x4 base model with V6. I have noticed that when driving on smooth roads at speeds greater than 50 mph I can feel a vibration through my feet and also in the seat that seems to come and go. Sometimes I can feel it in the steering wheel as well. It is not a major vibration, but it is annoying. I had the car to the dealership twice and they just rebalanced the wheels and rotated the tires, but that did not make any difference. Does anyone else have a vibration issue when driving at faster speeds.   Thanks. Replies to this message: cbmorton (Dec 05, 2007 11:30 am) kelntomh (Dec 13, 2007 9:25 am)

Replying to: kelntomh (Dec 05, 2007 11:16 am) Yes - some V6 AWD models from MY2006 and part of 2007 have this issue. Ask your dealer about Toyota's service bulletin TC006-07. Dealers will replace the AWD ECU to cure the vibration. Replies to this message: kelntomh (Dec 13, 2007 9:25 am)
#336 of 404 I have question about price by getmeanewcar Dec 09, 2007 (10:41 am)
The Toyota.com webpage suggests MSRP as $27000 for the RAV4/year:08/V6/2WD/3.5L/black/LIMITED/without Navi. But when I requested a quoto from Online retailers, they call for nearly $30000. Why do the local retailers call for higher price than the MSRP? And what are some effective strategy to have as much discount as possible from the local dealers? Should I get 2007 instead of 2008 for cheaper price? or Wouldn't there be big difference between 07 and 08?

Replying to: getmeanewcar (Dec 09, 2007 10:41 am) It seems that each dealership adds its own items to the new vehicles, in order to bump up the sticker price (which = greater profits). I just purchased a leftover 4-cyl. 2007 ltd, fully loaded (leather heated seats and all) for $25,600. I think it's possible to get better deals on the '07's, because the dealers are desperate to get rid of them. Mine has the 6-cd changer, is satellite 'ready' and has the bluetooth on the steering wheel. I'm not sure what else the '08's would have. Effective strategies would be to know that Toyota Rav4's for the '07 model year have a 2% dealer holdback, off the base MSRP. Also, know the dealer invoice price (it can be ordered online), or ask the dealer to see it. There is often lots of extra money that is paid to the dealer from the factory, after the sale of the vehicle. I got mine for about $3800 under MSRP (off of $29,467), and over a thousand under dealer invoice. However, I was unrelenting in my approach to negotiating. Oh... and NEVER EVER mention you want to trade your current vehicle (if in fact you do), until you negotiate the price on the new vehicle. If they ask you if you plan on trading, just say, "I doubt it," or "I don't know, so let's keep that out of the deal."   Good luck to you!

Replying to: albo1278 (Feb 18, 2007 10:23 am) I have just read your question about the MP3 Jack in the RAV4... Can you tell me now since you have had it for a while, have you run into the problem of the power supply to your MP3 causing static/noise sounds thru the speakers? And if so, what was your solution to this problem? Was your dealership of any assistance in this matter? My dealership acts like they have never heard of an MP3 player. They did not even know where the MP3 Jack was in my 2007 RAV 4 when I could not find it myself.. Thanks Julie Replies to this message: cbmorton (Dec 17, 2007 2:02 pm) julieo1 (Jan 01, 2008 9:50 am)

Replying to: julieo1 (Dec 17, 2007 12:56 pm) That one also might be covered by a service bulletin. Ask your dealer about TSB # AU004-07. Here's the description of the problem that the TSB is meant to address:   Some customers may notice noise in the auxiliary mode of the radio when using an MP3 player or other external audio source connected to the 12V power port of the vehicle. An improved auxiliary port and in-line filter has been developed to improve this condition. Replies to this message: julieo1 (Jan 01, 2008 9:50 am)
