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

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.

Thanks for that bit of information. When I called the dealership (parts dept) they acted like this was my problem....i.e. they don't sell MP3 devices and IPods (which is what I have) and that I needed to find the answer to this screeching noise coming from my speakers whenever I use the power supply that plugs into the outlet inside the console instead of just letting my IPod run on its own battery supply. This is the answer I get, despite my RAV4 has less than 5K miles on it.
 
I will be at the customer service manager's office in the next two days about this problem. thanks again, Happy New Year..

Braking- Grinding Sound. by lovembad

I have this Grinding Sound coming from my 2007 RAV4. At first I thought this was because the weather is cold the brakes need warming up. This is ongoing now for about 4 days. I took my vehicle in for servicing just over 3 weeks. This is my first New Car so my question to you is, will I be charged if this problem turn out to be a broken Axle or is this covered under the Warranty. Thanks

Check engine light coming on by kst1

I have a 07 2WD 4-cylinder RAV4. On my way back from work, my instrument panel lit up for a couple of seconds. The engine malfunction, VSC, airbag lights stayed on. I shut off the RAV when I reached home and started it but those light stayed on. Called the local Toyota dealer and the service manager said that it could be as simple as a loose gas tank cap. Incidentally I did put in gas this morning. He said that after tightening the cap, the lights will go off after a few trips. Has anyone experienced this before? I might still take the RAV in for them to take a look at.

I4 Oil Consumption by verdi942
Jan 12, 2008 (6:47 am)

My '07 I4 AWD is down about 1 qt. of oil at 3,500 miles; it's due for a change at 5,000. There's been no severe service driving here, just a normal mix of suburb, city and highway runs, some short, some long. I know, the owner's manual says that some oil consumption is normal, and it speaks of as much as 1.1 qts in 600 miles, but they're kidding, right? I mean, this isn't 1950, is it? I'd appreciate any feedback about similar experiences.

i agree that a quart low in 3500 miles is excessive. are you sure your oil was full when you bought the car? i'd fill it to the line and see if it is lower when you reach the 5000 mile oil change. if it is low, you'll get the usual response, "that's normal".
you will have to tell them you added 4 quarts in 5000 miles for them to take a look. if it was my car, that is exactly what i would tell them.

Thanks, 719b. For the record, at delivery, the oil level was at the top of the mark; I've been checking it every couple of weeks; you bet I'll tell them, and if it gets worse, I'll expect a new engine. I know of no other current manufacturer who admits to any oil consumption in a new vehicle. Do the Camry owners using the same motor get the same warning?
