Toyota RAV4

"The dealer had said about 8 months ago that I had a hole in the muffler where it meets the converter and that the muffler and Converter would need to be replaced for $1700. I have not had the repair done."

"Passenger side mirror - decreased movement"

"2 broken tire pressure sensors caused the tire pressure warning light to stay on. The sensors were replaced at $350 each"

"moon roof leakage"

"moon roof leakage"

"drive line vibration, may be related to drive shaft or axles"

"Had to replace right side axle assembly. Rubbing sound while driving in rotary. Dealer said had to replace right away. Cost $700 including parts and labor. CV Boots were not leaking. Seems okay now. but now have torque converter problem. Local Toyota dealers seems really busy for service."

"Expensive repair"

"Beginning to wear out"

"There is a sensor on the a/c compressor that failed, causing it to stop operating, and the car's idle to become too low. Occasionally the engine would stall at idle. Toyota will not replace the sensor alone, but instead they only offer to replace the whole a/c system. This is unnecessary considering that the a/c compressor is still sound. An aftermarket sensor is available for around $30. The sensor is difficult to replace, but I was able to do it and now I have cold air again."

"AC quit. Shop said due to hole in condenser that lost the refrigerant"

"I have had issues with the seat belt re-tractors in this car. Tugging the belt back and forth, up and down is required occasionally."

"In 2023, we starting experiencing a sudden and significant loss of engine power when driving uphill, usually on roads and highways where a moderate amount of power was needed to maintain speed. Almost immediately after losing power, the "Check Engine" and "Traction Control Off" warning lights would illuminate in the instrument cluster. The engine would still be running, but producing minimal power, so we would have to pull off the road and shut down the engine. We'd then loosen and retighten the factory-original gas cap before restarting the engine, and that sometimes resolved the issue (full power restored with no warning lights illuminated) for a short while. After researching possible causes and discussing the issue with the shop, we replaced the gas cap, and that appears to have resolved the issue. As long as we tighten the gas cap to the point where we hear a 3rd "click", the engine will now maintain power going up hills."

"Toyota refused to provide my access to the voluntary recall that had been set up years before to a known issue with peeling paint saying the recall conveniently expired 2 weeks before I reported my problem. The dealer wanted almost $4000 plus the cost of a rental car for "two weeks plus" to just repaint the roof which means the total repair cost would have been over $5000 to just paint the roof."

"Alternator failed and caused the battery to fail. Car had to be towed to a repair shop"

"noise driving between 40-60 MPH. Sounds like engine is revving but it is not. took to dealer said to "baby" transmission. I am reluctant to take it back to dealer. I believe torque converter is very expensive to replace."

"The water pump began to make noise from the pulley bearing, and started to leak. It was replaced just before it totally failed. There have been no further problems after replacing the water pump. This is the second time that the water pump has been replaced. This seems unusual for Toyota. My 2002 Camry never had a water pump fail in 282,000 miles."

"They cant repair the fob that controls the keyless entry. They have had vehicle for over 6 weeks and still cant fix it. The charge so far is well over 4 thousand dollars and it still doesnt work. This sucks!,"
