#358 of 404 Re: Oil consumption [sdc2] by steve_ HOST Jan 13, 2008 (12:45 pm)
Replying to: sdc2 (Jan 13, 2008 10:08 am) Around here, I see the "manufacturer says it's normal" quote usually in the Isuzu Trooper discussions. See paisan, "Isuzu Trooper" #11476, 4 Apr 2007 3:30 am   fwiw, I never have to add oil to my '99 Quest with 121,000 on it, but my '97 Outback with 65k uses a bit of oil now and then. It was a half quart low last week but I may not have topped it off when I changed the oil last (the dipstick in the Outback is difficult to make heads or tails of).   Some other oil consumption posts (found with the Advanced Search tool) involve the Audi A3, Caddy CTS, Nissan Altima and Chevy Impalas (GM's 5.3L).   Doesn't seem to be a very big issue except with Troopers though.

Replying to: kst1 (Jan 11, 2008 6:29 pm) here's the update-   The service shop did not find anything to pinpoint this- just some computer glitch according to them. Cleared out the codes and said that chance of this happening again is 1 in a million. Well guess what, the check engine/VSC/skid lights have come back on. Will be taking it back to the dealer tomorrow. Anybody have ideas/experience with this??
#360 of 404 Door not working & 1 shock defective by bigdadi118 Jan 16, 2008 (5:01 pm)
The 07 AWD just had 2,500-mi 2 things already went wrong: The front Pax door cannot be unlocked by remote or by open from inside, while the other 3 doors were OK, during the coldest day in MA. Then suddenly it worked again in the 4th day after happened. My wife already made appointment w/dealer so we sent the car in for checking the suspected liquid drip mark on ground located under between 2 rear wheels. Dealer found 1 of the shock is defective. It's not in stock & has to be ordered and another appointment is scheduled for this week.
#361 of 404 Nudge Bar by jonvet Apr 21, 2008 (2:15 pm)
I see Toyota makes a very nice looking Ft bumper guard ,they call it a nudge bar. Unfortunately they only sell it in Australia and New Zealand, with shipping it's over $700. Anyone know how to get one here or a brand that would look good on a 08 Sport? Thanks, JonVet
#362 of 404 Toyota Rav4 04' vsc problem by 04rick Aug 12, 2008 (12:21 pm)
I have a toyota rav4 04' with 123,000 miles on it. The vsc and engine emission lights came on and I took it into a toyota dealer. I was advised to replace the vsc sensor after a diagonostic was run. The vsc sensor has been replaced but after 80 miles the emission and vsc lights are back on. What next? Did I get hosed by the dealer with the $500.00 dollar replacement of the vsc sensor?

Replying to: 04rick (Aug 12, 2008 12:21 pm) Your dealer is an idiot..!!   Anytime the engine shows a fault the VSC (& TC) "failure" light will come on by default, it is MEANINGLESS. Fix the engine problem and the VSC fault will clear automatically.   Just as it states in your owners manual.

Replying to: fanko (Aug 21, 2007 8:03 pm) Our RAV4 is experiencing this exact same problem. I don't know how stepping on the brake in a dry parking lot or when shifting from Drive to Park would activate the downhill assist function. Dealer saw no computer codes when we brought it in and mentioned the problem and they said everything was operating normally. Anyone having this problem?
#365 of 404 Re: Auto-Off Headlights '07 RAV4 [cbmorton] by dmcshaw Sep 21, 2008 (8:26 am)
Replying to: cbmorton (Nov 09, 2007 9:42 pm) I just bought a 2008 4WD Limited Rav4. I "stepped-down" from a 2002 Highlander Limited. I really miss the auto-on/off headlight feature and, since I saw the little bubble on the dash, assumed the Rav4 had it also. I am really bummed about it and understand it is offered in the Rav4 in Canada, but not US models. This makes no sense to me. Is there an after-market conversion or can Toyota modify my Rav4 to add the feature since the dummy placeholder is already there?   dmcshaw Replies to this message: sdc2 (Sep 22, 2008 6:16 am) dmcshaw (Sep 22, 2008 3:41 pm)

Replying to: dmcshaw (Sep 21, 2008 8:26 am) You'll get used to it. Just remember to turn on the headlights whenever you flip your rear view mirror to night mode. Replies to this message: dmcshaw (Sep 22, 2008 3:41 pm)

Replying to: sdc2 (Sep 22, 2008 6:16 am) Well, actually, I've already swapped out the day/night manual mirror, too! I replaced it with an auto-dimming mirror with a compass and built-in garage door opener buttons. I've added body side moldings and step rails. Now, the only thing left to change would be the stupid lights. Oh, well, I should have stuck with my Highlander. I was spoiled by all the amenities it had, I guess, but decided to down-size a bit to save gas. No big deal, just an annoyance over what I was used to. It just doesn't make sense to me that Toyota would scrimp on that, it's such a small thing. Weird.
