Replying to: albo1278 (Feb 18, 2007 10:23 am) 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

Replying to: julieo1 (Dec 17, 2007 12:56 pm) 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.

| 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 | |
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.

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.

Replying to: verdi942 (Jan 12, 2008 6:47 am) 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.

You guys aren't in touch with reality. Pretty much all manufacturers, including some very expensive makes, will say that something like 1 quart per thousand miles is "acceptible" oil consumption. Fact is, modern engines actually burn more oil than older engines. Why? Because in an effort to make engines more fuel efficient and wring more power out of the cubic inches available, engineers have cut back on things like extra piston rings that scrub the cylinder walls to retain oil, because they add to the engine friction load and rob horsepower. So while modern engines are much more powerful for their size than they used to be, one of the tradeoffs is a potential for increased oil consumption. |
