Let someone drive the car with you there and see if their style makes it drive different. Work on your dealer. Take it too another dealer. On the RAV4W site there are similar complaints but low numbers of them.

I can and do avoid the lack of down shifting by doing it manually now, but I did not think of that when it happened the first couple of times. It was clearly unsafe those times. Toyota needs to fix this not me. They have enough input to know there's a problem. Also, I have written them. No action at all.

Replying to: bob777 (Jun 22, 2006 6:50 am) I am getting somewhere around 27-28 now highway miles, before it was around 24-25, with full load 20 highway. But now I the engine got very noisy. Haave most of the problems described on Edmunds forum. Windows rattle, i was told that it is a design flaw. Was fixed,noise came up again, they are going to replace the whole power window system. Electronics is glitchy. Had wird stuff with LCDs, nonreadable symbols. VSC and ABS were lit up for several weeks, cruise control didn't work until they cleared computer memory second time. These are hard to verify problems... I have to run to a dealer every time I see it, otherwise they wont believe me. They joked on my RAV4 saying I got Ford Explorer. And everytime I come to the dealer all management comes out and looks at the problems saying WOW this is first time we see it. liek it helps. Toyota Motor Corp does not want to do anything yet. Lemon law doesn't fit yet... So I have no clue what to do with it.

They've, Toyota, seen these issues, but they have been able to put the proof onto owners instead of taking ownership of problems and solving them. I've had quite a few new cars over that last few years and I have not had anywhere near the same experience with them. I'm talking about Ford, Mazda, Nissan and even Chevy. I'm trying to figure out why people think so highly of Toyota. My gas mileage is starting to get better. I have over 8K miles on it now and it now gets over 24 MPG during mostly in town with some highway miles. |
