STEERING
UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE AND ATTEMPTING TO GO IN REVERSE, THE POWER STEERING BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN. HAD IT TOWED TO MY MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD THE ELECTRIC STEERING CONTROL MODULE AND STEERING COLUMN MOTOR ASSEMBLY HAD TO BE REPLACED. TOTAL COST WAS $3,300. THIS IS BECOMING A COMMON COMPLAINT AND, CONSIDERING THE COST INVOLVED, SHOULD BE THOROUGHLY REVIEWED BY THE NHTSA.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
THERE IS A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR WHERE IT DOESN'T STAY WHERE I PUT IT. IT REGULARLY SLIPS DOWN AND AT TIMES BLOCKS MY VIEW OF THE ROAD. THIS IS A KNOWN/RECURRING PROBLEM WITH MANY OTHER OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE MAKE/MODEL (BASED UPON INTERNET SEARCH OF THIS ISSUE). WHEN THE VISOR IS PLACED OVER THE DRIVER DOOR WINDOW, WHEN I GO AROUND A CORNER (TURN), THE VISOR WILL ROTATE AND HIT ME IN THE HEAD, AGAIN DISTRACTING ME FROM THE ROAD AND FORCING ME TO MAKE REGULAR VISOR ADJUSTMENTS AGAIN AND AGAIN. THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM; A RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED FOR THIS PROBLEM.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
PREMATURE EXHAUST SYSTEM FAILURE BEFORE 80,000 MILES OR 8 YEARS. TRIED TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE WITH THE DEALER AND TOYOTA CORP (CASE #1508262478 @ 800-331-4331) BUT THEY WILL NOT REPLACE DEFECTIVE PARTS. THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER IS CONNECTED TO AN IN-LINE RESONATOR AND MUFFLER ASSEMBLY. THE MUFFLER SEAM HAS SPLIT. MY CLAIM TO THE DEALER AND TOYOTA CORP IS THE ENTIRE SYSTEM WORKS HAND IN HAND AND THE WAY TOYOTA HAS DESIGNED THE SYSTEM IT CAN NOT BE SEPARATED FROM THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. THE ENTIRE SYSTEM IS REQUIRED TO REDUCE EMISSIONS AND INCREASE ENGINE PERFORMANCE AND THEREFORE COVERED UNDER THE EMISSION WARRANTY. NOT SURE IF IT IS A DESIGN OR MATERIAL DEFECT BUT SOMETHING COSTING OVER $1,400 TO REPAIR IS MORE THAN A SIMPLE MUFFLER REPLACEMENT THAT SHOULD NOT FAIL AT 52,000 MILES.

ENGINE
MY OIL WARNING LIGHT KEPT COMING ON WHEN I WAS BRAKING. I HAD APPROXIMATELY 2300 MILES SINCE MY LAST OIL CHANGE BUT TOOK THE CAR IN TO GET CHECKED. THE MECHANIC FOUND THERE WAS VIRTUALLY NO OIL LEFT IN THE ENGINE. SINCE THEN I HAVE TO PUT OIL IN MY ENGINE AROUND EVERY 500-700 MILES. MY CAR IS EXPERIENCING EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. I JUST TOOK MY CAR INTO MY CLOSEST TOYOTA DEALER AND THEY SAID IN 20 YEARS THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS PROBLEM. I FEEL LIKE THEY ARE LYING TO ME AND JUST WANT THE FAULTY PART FIXED. I DON'T KNOW WHAT MY RIGHTS ARE AND WHAT I CAN DO TO GET HELP. -THANK YOU *TR

VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP, SO IT NORMALLY STAYS IN A VIEW-OBSTRUCTED POSITION WHEN DRIVING. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND TOYOTA REFUSES TO BUDGE IN TERMS OF RECALLING THIS ITEM. I BROUGHT THIS TO THE ATTENTION OF TOYOTA A YEAR OR SO AGO AND THEY ASKED ME FOR A QUOTE TO FIX - I SENT THEM A COPY OF THE DEALER PRICE QUOTE (AROUND $150) AND TOYOTA REFUSED TO PAY FOR IT AS A SAFETY ISSUE AND BASICALLY TOLD ME TO GO AWAY. I WOULDN'T NORMALLY COMPLAIN ABOUT SOMETHING LIKE THIS BUT I'VE NOTICED MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE ON THE INTERNET....AND EVEN FROM THOSE WHO HAD THE VISOR REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CALL ME AT [XXX] IF YOU'D LIKE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.

ENGINE
I'VE HAD MY 08 TOYOTA RAV4 FOR OVER 4 YEARS NOW. I GET THE OIL CHANGED ON IT EVERY 5,000 MILES REGULARLY. I GOT IT WITH ABOUT 25,000 MILES ON IT AND RIGHT AROUND 70,000 MILES I NOTICED THAT THE OIL LIGHT WOULD COME ON BEFORE I REACHED MY NEXT OIL CHANGE. IT HOLDS ABOUT 5 QUARTS AND WITH BEING CHANGED EVERY 5,000 MILES THAT MEANS IT IS BURNING MORE THEN 1 QUART EVERY 1,000 MILES! MY BROTHER-IN-LAW DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS BECOMING A PROBLEM WITH MANY RAV4'S WITH THE PISTONS IN THE 2AZ FE MOTOR. I LOVE THIS CAR SO MUCH AND IT BREAKS MY HEART TO KNOW THAT THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG THAT I CAN'T FIX. I DON'T WANT TO GET A DIFFERENT CAR BUT NOW I HAVE TO!

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE HOSE CONNECTING THE CANISTER FILTER TO THE CANISTER BROKE OFF DRIVING IN THE RAIN AND I DIDN'T SEE UNTIL NEXT DAY WHILE 8 HRS AWAY FROM HOME. CALLED THE LOCAL DEALER THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE PART. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT SHOWN.I GOT HOME AND HAVE THE CANISTER FILTER REPLACED WITH THE DEALER AND NEXT DAY CHECK ENGINE, VSC AND 4WD LIGHT CAME ON, DEALER SAYS IT COST $1800 TO FIX IT. I RESEARCHED ONLINE AND LOT OF 2006 AND UP RAV 4 OWNER HAVE SAME ISSUE. CANNISTER HOSE BROKEN OR FILTER DROPPED AND WATER GETTING INTO THE SYSTEM. I GOT TOYOTA SERVICE BULLETIN T-SB-0098-09 WHICH WAS UPDATED TO T-SB0161-11 ON OCTOBER 20,2011 FOR THIS ISSUE. TOYOTA HAD COVERED WARRANTY FOR 2GR-FE ENGINE FROM 2006-2011 SOLD ON CA, CT, ME, MD, MA, NJ, NM,VT,WA, RI UNDER CALIFORNIA LONG TERM EMISSION WARRANTY OF 64 MONTHS OR 70,000 MILES WHICH EVER OCCURS FIRST. TOYOTA KNEW THE ISSUE AND EVEN ADDED A NEW COVER (PART NO 77641-0R020) THE PROTECT THE CANISTER FILTER AND THE HOSES BUT THEY DIDN'T ISSUE THE RECALL. A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE SAME ISSUE. THE FILTER AND HOSE ARE UNPROTECTED UNDERNEATH THE CHASSIS AND IT CAN BREAK OR FALL DRIVING UNDER NORMAL DRIVING IN A RAIN OR SNOW. I CALLED TOYOTA AND THEY REVIEW MY CASE AND GAVE ME CASE # BUT THEY WON'T FIX IT BECAUSE MY VEHICLE WAS NOT DRIVEN AND SOLD ON THE AFOREMENTIONED STATES. TOYOTA HAS COVERED THE WARRANTY ON THE STATES WITH HEAVY SNOW AND RAIN ONLY. BUT THESE THINGS ARE TRUE FOR THE STATE I AM IN TOO. REMAINING STATE STANDARD 36 MONTHS 36,000 WARRANTY. BUT THIS THING CAN HAPPEN TO ANYONE AT ANY MILEAGE. TOYOTA KNEW IT AND HAD A FIX BY PUTTING THE NEW COVER BUT DIDN'T ISSUE A RECALL . THE SERVICE BULLETIN EVEN STATES THE VEHICLES MANUFACTURED BEFORE CERTAIN VIN NUMBER AND MINE DOES FALL UNDER IT. I PAID $220 TO REPLACE FILTER AND $62.5 TO DIAGNOSE. NOW THEY WANT ANOTHER $1800 TO FIX IT. I WISH I COULD ATTACHED THE SERVICE BULLETIN. UPDATED 09/15/15*LJ UPDATED 11/08/2017*CN

MY 2008 TOYOTA RAV 4 HAD A RECALL FOR THE REAR LOWER CONTROL ARMS, THE FIRST RECALL WAS AROUND JAN. 12, 2013. (64,306) MILES. AT THIS TIME TOYOTA TIGHTENED THE CONTROL ARMS TO THE CORRECT TORQUE AND I BELIEVE COMPLETED ALIGNMENT. ABOUT 1 YR LATER, ON JAN.17, 2014 (78,847) MILES, THE LOWER CONTROL ARMS WHERE REPLACED, ALIGNMENT WAS DONE, AND EPOXY WAS APPLIED TO THE BOLTS FOR A PERMANENT FIX APPROVED BY TOYOTA. WHEN HAVING MY BRAKES REPLACED AT TOYOTA DEALER ON MAY 17, 2015 (101,475) MILES, THEY INFORMED ME MY REAR ALIGNMENT WAS OUT SLIGHTLY. I WAS TOLD THE ONLY WAY TO FIX THIS IS TO HAVE THE SAME JOB DONE, AS WAS DONE IN JANUARY 2014, AT A COST OF APPROX. $900.00. I WAS TOLD I MUST HAVE HIT A POT HOLE?? THIS WAS A TOYOTA RECALL FOR A DEFECT ON THEIR PART WITH THEIR PARTS. OBVIOUSLY, THE PERMANENT FIX DIDN'T WORK. I GUESS THEY WOULD EXPECT ME TO PAY EVERY TIME MY VEHICLES REAR COMES OUT OF ALIGNMENT TO PAY $900.00. MY TOYOTA RAV 4 HAS ALWAYS BEEN SERVICED AT THE SAME TOYOTA DEALERSHIP IN VINELAND, NEW JERSEY, WHICH IS WHERE I PURCHASED IT NEW. I CONTACTED TOYOTA CORP, AND THEY WHERE NO HELP. ALSO, HAVING A PROBLEM WITH EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION, LIKE MANY OTHERS. WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO TOYOTA AND THEIR REPUTATION!

ENGINE
MY ENGINE SEIZED ON A MOVING HIGHWAY. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE NEAREST MECHANIC WHO IDENTIFIED THE VEHICLE HAD VERY LITTLE OIL IN IT DESPITE JUST HAVING HAD AN OIL CHANGE 3 WEEKS PRIOR. HE CHECKED THAT THERE WAS NO OIL LEAL AND ADVISED TO ME TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE HE FELT MY VEHICLE HAD A FAULTY ENGINE. MY CAR WAS TOWED TO THE NEAREST TOYOTA DEALERSHIP WHO LIED FIRST ABOUT MY VEHICLE HAVING A FAULTY ENGINE AND THEN WHEN I PRESENTED TO THEM THE EXISTING LITERATURE ON THE ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM, ONLY THEN DID THEY CONFIRM MY VEHICLE AS HAVING A FAULTY ENGINE. BASED ON MY VIN, I HAVE THE 2AZ-FE ENGINE WHICH POSES A SAFETY RISK TO CONSUMERS IN THAT IT CAUSES ENGINE PROBLEMS INCLUDING FAILURE. TOYOTA KNEW OF THIS DEFECT WHEN I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE AND DID NOT DISCLOSE THIS TO ME. THEY ALSO ISSUED A SAFETY BULLETIN IN 2011 BUT ONLY TO DEALERSHIPS AND NOT TO CONSUMERS. TOYOTA HAS NOT DISCLOSED OF THIS PROBLEM TO ITS CONSUMERS AND CONTINUES TO REGARD THEIR VEHICLES AS SAFE. MY SAFETY WAS COMPROMISED BECAUSE OF TOYOTA'S DISHONESTY AND DECEIT.

STEERING
WE RECENTLY TOOK OUR RAV4 IN FOR RECALL WORK. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT DECIDED TO DO A COMPLIMENTARY INSPECTION ON MY RAV4. WE WERE TOLD THAT THE POWER STEERING PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. IT HAD NEVER BEEN A PROBLEM BEFORE. NOW, THE POWER STEERING PUMP IS SQUEALING ON TIGHTER THAN REGULAR CORNER TURNING. I RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE ON THE INTERNET. THE DISTURBING, MORE CONSTANT COMPLIANT IS THAT THE POWER STEERING ON MY YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL WILL FAIL INTERMITTENTLY AND THEN SUDDENLY FAIL. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE SINCE MOST OF THE DRIVERS ON THE ROAD ARE USED TO POWER STEERING AND MAY NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO IF THE POWER STEERING SHOULD SUDDENLY FAIL WHILE DRIVING. I WANT TO MAKE IT CLEAR THAT I AM NOT BLAMING THE DEALERSHIP OR THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THEY GAVE US A HEADS-UP ON WHAT WE HAD NO IDEA WAS ABOUT TO BECOME A PROBLEM. THE POWER STEERING PUMP PROBLEM IS A SERIOUS ISSUE, THE RAV4 IS A FAMILY CAR FOR THE MOST PART.

4 CYLINDER ENGINE EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION - BETWEEN 5000 MILE OIL CHANGES WE ARE PUTTING IN 4 - 5 QUARTS OF OIL. THERE IS A WELL-KNOWN PISTON DESIGN FAULT ON THIS ENGINE WHICH REQUIRES THE FITTING OF NEW PISTONS AND THIS SHOULD BECOME A RECALL ISSUE NOT AN DISCRETIONARY MATTER DECIDED ARBITRARILY BY TOYOTA AND ITS DEALERS. WE RAISED THIS ISSUE WITH A DEALER ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO AND WAS FOBBED OFF WITH THE USUAL RESPONSE LIKE '' IT'S NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT'' WE INTEND GETTING THE OIL CONSUMPTION CHECKED AGAIN BY TOYOTA BUT IN THE MEANTIME PLEASE PUT PRESSURE ON TOYOTA TO DEAL WITH THIS MATTER IN A RESPONSIBLE WAY. SUCH A SERIOUS ENGINE DESIGN FAULT SHOULD NOT RESULT IN CONSUMERS LOSING OUT WITH A COLLAPSE IN CAR VALUE AND FURTHER PROBLEMS WITH OIL CONTAMINATION OF THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER DUE TO BURNING LARGE QUANTITIES OF OIL. *TR

THE REAR SUSPENSION WHEEL NUTS GAVE UP, WHICH CAUSED THE ENTIRE CAR GO TO THE DITCH. MY WIFE AND MY TWO KIDS WAS ON THE CAR, AND LUCKILY THEY GET OUT AND SAFELY STOPPED THE CAR. TOYOTA INFORMED ME THAT THEY REPAIRED THESE REAR BOLTS LAST YEAR BECAUSE IT HAD RECALL BEFORE, BUT STILL THE ISSUE IS HAPPENING EVEN IF THEY PERFORM REPAIR. LITERALLY THIS CAN CAUSE A LOT OF BAD ACCIDENTS AND LOST IF TOYOTA EVEN DON'T REPAIR CORRECTLY ON THE REAR SUSPENSIONS OF RAV4. *TR
