MY VEHICLE HAS THE PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF AND DO NOT DETECT WHEN THE PASSENGER IS SIT AND BUCKLED UP THE PASSENGER WEIGHT IT'S OVER 100 POUNDS, I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO A INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP FOR A CODE TO BE READ AND THE ONLY CODE IT SHOWS IT'S B1550 (OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM ) THE VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN INVOLVED INTO AN ACCIDENT. I TOOK IT TO THE TOYOTA DEALER LOCATED AT 4413 MCHENRY AVENUE IN MODESTO, CA THE DEALER RECEPTIONIST SAID THAT THEY CAN'T TAKE OF IT, BECAUSE THERE'S NO RECALL IN RECORD ABOUT THIS ISSUE, BUT IT IS A MANUFACTURE DEFECT THAT AFFECTS THE SAFETY OF VEHICLE OWNER

DRIVING ON EXPRESSWAY THE LOW OIL LIGHT CAME ON DOZENS OF TIMES WHILE BRAKING.. TOYOTA RAV4 2007 WITH ONLY 69K MILES STARTED TO CONSUME 1 QUART OF OIL EVERY 1000 MILES... DEALER DID AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST - WHICH PROVED THAT ENGINE IS BURNING OIL. SINCE CAR IS MORE THEN 10 YEARS, EVEN THOUGH THE MILEAGE IS VERY LOW - TOYOTA REFUSES TO COVER REPAIR COSTS. DEALER'S QUOTE FOR REPAIR WAS $4,300.

POWER TRAIN
I TOOK MY RAV4 TO THE TOYOTA DEALER FOR ITS REGULAR CHECK-UP. I WAS TOLD THAT THE CARS TRANSMISSION BLOCKS WERE BROKEN AND THAT THEY HAD TO BE REPAIRED OR CAR WOULD SHAKE AND SHUDDER. ALSO THERE WAS A SAFETY ISSUE. THIS CAR, A SPORT TRIM, ONLY HAS A LITTLE OVER 60,000 MILES. HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN UNLESS IT WAS FAULTY QUALITY/WORK WHEN ASSEMBLING. I AM BEING CHARGED $1200.00 TO REPAIR THESE BLOCKS. I HAVE DRIVEN HONDAS FOR 30 YEARS AND THIS IS MY 1ST TOYOTA. I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS. NEVER HAPPENED W/ A HONDA (NO DOCUMENTATION AS YET AS I DO NOT PICK UP THE CAR UNTIL TOMORROW.)

SUSPENSION
TOYOTA ISSUED A RECALL FOR THE REAR SUSPENSION AND SUBSEQUENTLY REPAIRED MY VEHICLE; HOWEVER, THE FIX IS INADEQUATE. AFTER THE REAR SUSPENSION ARM (TIE ROD) IS EPOXIED INTO A FIXED POSITION, THE REAR TIRES CAN NO LONGER BE REALIGNED WITHOUT REPLACING THE ENTIRE SUSPENSION ARM. THIS FIX IS INADEQUATE AND PLACES UNDUE FINANCIAL BURDENS ON THE RAV4 OWNERS.

TAKATA RECALL-I JUST PURCHASED THIS USED VEHICLE A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO. IT STARTED USING OIL RIGHT AWAY. THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP SAYS IT'S A PROBLEM THEY'RE WELL AWARE OF, AND, IF I HAD BROUGHT IT IN BEFORE AUGUST, BEFORE I HAD PURCHASED IT OR EVER EVEN SEEN IT, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED, BUT NOW THEY WANT $5000.00 TO REBUILD THE ENGINE!

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION - USES 1 QUART OF OIL EVERY 1,500 MILES OR LESS. WE HAVE TO CONSTANTLY CHECK THE OIL LEVEL AND MY WIFE IS NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE FEARING THAT THE ENGINE WILL SEIZE UP IF WE HAVE FAILED TO CHECK THE OIL LEVEL. NOTE: I'VE HAD TO "DUMMY" A DATE BECAUSE THIS IS A CONTINUOUS PROBLEM AND NOT JUST ONE DATE.

SUSPENSION
THIS VEHICLE HAD THE REAR SUSPENSION ARM RECALL (NHTSA 16V596000) . WHEN THE DEALERSHIP DID THE RECALL THEY SEALED THE PARTS IN EPOXY, THE CAR IS OUT OF ALIGNMENT AGAIN IN LESS THAN I YEAR. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS BEING TOLD THAT IT WILL COST $700 TO GET THE ALIGNMENT DONE. THE SUSPENSION HAS TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE OF THE EPOXY. THIS IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE ONE YEAR WARRANTY OF THE RECALL. TOYOTA SHOULD BE PAYING FOR THIS SINCE THEY DID NOT CORRECT THE ISSUE PROPERLY DURING THE RECALL AND NOW THE CAR CAN NOT HAVE REAR WHEEL ALIGNMENTS. I CANNOT GET A ROUTINE ALIGNMENT BECAUSE OF THE EPOXY USED DURING THE RECALL. THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS.

MASSIVE CONSUMPTION OF OIL. MY 2007 TOYOTA RAV4 CONSUMES APPROXIMATELY A QUART OF OIL IN 500 MILES. THIS IS VERY EXCESSIVE AND MEANS THAT I HAVE TO FILL THE OIL 10 TIMES BEFORE THE "5000 MILE" OIL CHANGE. TOYOTA DID ISSUE A TSB AND RAN THE CAR THROUGH A TEST AND DEEMED THE LOSS OF OIL ACCEPTABLE WHICH I FIND LUDICROUS. ACCEPTABLE IS BEING DOWN 1/4 A QUART AFTER 5000 MILES. BUT IF I WAITED TIL MY OIL CHANGE THE ENGINE WOULD BE DESTROYED. AND THE VERY LEAST THEY NEED TO ISSUE A RECALL AND FIX THE PROBLEM.
