Replying to: crtzlow (Jan 26, 2008 1:33 pm) I have not actually complained to the dealer about my problem at this point. The most concerning problem was having it downshift and accelerate to the red line. It has only done that a few times and two of those occasions were when I re-engaged the cruise going up a hill. Only once was it spontaneous. The gear hunting only happened when I deliberately tried it, again going up hill and re-engaging the cruise. I just hate getting into a big brouhaha with the dealer. It would cause me more consternation than the cruise control has so far. If they come out with a fix, then I'll go in to get it fixed. Unless I'm giving up some rights by not complaining about it.

I was strongly considering buying a 4-cyl, 4WD RAV4, but the problems with the cruise control really concerns me. I rarely use the cruise control, but I am wondering if this problem could be related to other problems with the RAV4. Do you know if there are any other known problems? How is the overall quality of the RAV4? I am trying to figure out if a RAV4 with this problem is still a safer and more dependable option than other cars, if I don't plan on using the cruise control. Thanks, -Rob |

| The only thing that I can tell you about the suv, is that it rides like a dump truck and the gas mileage is about the same too.... I would never recommend the little peice of crap, I have one... for now...ces1938 | |

I would definitely not call the RAV4 a piece of crap. It depends on what you are looking for in a car. It is a bit noisy and the ride is not the smoothest. But I don't think that it's that bad either. It is not a luxury car. It is a moderaly priced, roomy, reliable and economical vehicle. My over-all gas mileage is about 26 mpg. Definitely better than my truck! I have not had any problems with it except when I re-engage the cc going uphill. The body integrity, engine, cabin, everything have all been fine. I have 25,000 miles on mine, now, in the 19 months I've owned it, so it defintely gets driven. My biggest complaint, actually, has been that when the AC is running and I'm at a stop, then the entire car vibrates. I put it in neutral b/c that is just so annoying. If I was to get another RAV, I would definitely go for the 6 cylinder. Cara

Replying to: cc2cara (Feb 04, 2008 6:36 pm) Thanks for the feedback. I have narrowed the search to the CRV and Rav4. Your feedback is pushing towards the CRV as I don't want to worry about any major problems developing. -Rob

I don't blame you, if I had the chance that is what I would do.... Altho, unless you need a car right night I would wait a while and check it the new Toyota Venza crossover... I heard it would be a replacement for the Rav 4, it will make the Rav 4 obselete if it as nice as they said at the auto shows... ces
