Toyota RAV4

"Needed alignment"

"Right Front Strut is leaking ($850)"

"We thought what was the transmission problem turned out to be just the bearings needed to be replaced. They only did the one because the other was intact. Just waiting on another set of bearings to go the back ones last longer than the front ones."

"When it rains, a puddle forms on the passenger side."

"We had several mechanics look at the vehicle. One shop installed a clamp onto the exhaust system, which then caused a groove underneath. It was somehow fixed, but 8 months later, the problem reappeared. It rattles only when I start the car."

"When I accelerate going up a hill, there is a rattle. Have had it for years but mechanic cannot identify sourcr."

"Leather front seat cushions became cracked and torn and looked bad. Eventually had them re-upholstered with look-alike Vinyl product."

"The class on the tailgate wouldnt come down. We couldnt close our door on the tailgate for a long time. Finally got to remove a piece of vinyl or something loose that was in the latch housing of the door and got it back to semi working."

"I had an antifreeze leak which my mechanic evaluated and said it is due to the bolts not being tight on the engine which couldn't be tightened. He put a "pill" in which he said was a temporary bandaid and that I needed to get a new car."

"Aluminum valve cover corroded through resulting is a serious oil leak that caused ignition wire failure."

"According to my mechanic the antifreeze leak is not from the water pump or hose but known RAV 4 Engine loose bolt problem that can't be fixed."

"All the lights cam on while I was on I-4, the check engine, vsc and swerve control. I pulled over. After the engine cooled I checked the radiator fluid level. It was empty. I added water and it drove ok for about 10 miles. After a traffic slowdown it couldnt accelerate again. This time the temperature indicator came on, then dropped to cold. I ultimately had to have it towed to a mechanic. He said it got so hot the rubber gaskets melted onto the pistons. It needs a new engine. This happened 8/15/24. The 2nd time all the lights came on as above but also the oil light. The RAV4 never indicated it was hot the 1st time."

"Rear inner CV boots are leaking grease. ($1,000)"

"Replace passenger side axel and seal."

"After examination, the technician discovered the fuel pump was about to go."

"AC doesn't work, live in phoenix"

"torque converter has become unreliable, not sure if we will repair or get a new vehicle"

"The bluetooth works intermittently, but cuts out often"
