2010 TOYOTA RAV4 Complaints

TOLD THAT EVAP CANISTER NEEDS REPLACED - COSTS $1,200. TOLD NOT NECESSARY TO FIX, BUT 4WD WON'T WORK WITHOUT BEING FIXED. ACCELERATION RANDOMLY INCREASES AND DECREASES.

I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WHEN MY RAV4 PULLED TO OVER THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STRIKE A TREE CAUSING 7 BROKEN RIBS AND IT TOTALED MY CAR .I SAW A RECALL THAT WAS ISSUED IN SEPTEMBER THAT THE REAR TIRE RODS CAN CAUSE YOU TO LOSE CONTROL CAUSING A CRASH RECENTLY AND I KNOW THAT WAS THE REASON FOR THIS CRASH I DRIVE THIS ROAD FREQUENTLY AND HAVE NEVER HAD AN ISSUE UNTIL AUGUST 11TH MY BOTH ARMS WERE INJURED AND MY CHEST AND SHOULDER HAD SCRAPES AND CUTS TO WHICH I BLAME ON THE MANUFACTURER, I AM STILL RECOVERING FROM MY INJURY AND ALSO BELIEVE THE AIRBAG DIDN'T DEPLOY IN TIME BECAUSE OUT OF THE 7 BROKEN RIBS MY STERNUM BONE WAS BROKEN FROM THE STEERING WHEEL!!

THERE IS A 3RD RECALL AS OF SEPTEMBER 2016 FOR ARM SUSPENSION ARMS TO BE REPLACED BUT 3 DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO REPLACE THEM. PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED.

I COULDN'T FIND ANOTHER PLACE TO SEND THIS INFO. THIS IS NOT A COMPLAINT. REGARDING THE WIPER, WE HAD AN INTERIM RECALL, WE WENT TO THE DEALER, THEY FIXED IT, BUT THE RECORD YOU HAVE SAYS INCOMPLETE. I JUST WANTED YOU TO KNOW THAT IT HAS BEEN FIXED.IT WAS FIXED BEFORE WE EVEN HAD THE FINAL RECALL NOTICE.

I TOOK MY 2010 TOYOTA RAV4 TO BE ALIGNED TODAY. I WAS TOLD THAT THE LEFT REAR WHEEL WAS OUT OF ALIGNMENT BUT COULD NOT BE ADJUSTED. THAT IS, EVEN THOUGH THE TIRE WAS OUT OF ALIGNMENT, THE SERVICEMAN SAID HE COULD NOT MAKE THE ADJUSTMENT. HE SAID THERE WAS A NOTE ABOUT NOT BEING ABOUT TO ADJUST THE ALIGNMENT. MY TIRES HAVE BEEN WEARING UNEVENLY. APPARENTLY, I CANNOT HAVE MY CAR ALIGNED. I WOULD LIKE THE NHSTA TO LOOK INTO SOLUTIONS TO THE "UN-ALIGNABLE VEHICLE".

WE HIT A DEER WHILE DOING 45 TO 50 MPH ON A LOCAL 2 LANE HIGHWAY. DAMAGE WAS MAJOR AND WAS MOSTLY TO THE PASSENGER FRONT BUT WE WERE ABLE TO DRIVE IT HOME (ABOUT A MILE). AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AS INTENDED AND DID NOT PREVENT PASSENGER FROM HITTING HEAD ON WINDOW TRIM. PASSENGER WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL FOR HEAD ABRASION AND NECK PAIN. SHE WAS TREATED AND RELEASED. AS A NOTE THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS STAYING LIT AT INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND SEAT BELTS DID NOT LOCK IN PLACE. WE ARE AWAITING A VISIT FROM THE INSURANCE ADJUSTER.

MY REAR CAR SUSPENSION WAS INCASED BECAUSE IT WAS RECALLED. OVER 55 MPH WAS CAR WOULD SWAY FROM SIDE TO SIDE. I CALLED TOYOTA AND WAS TOLD MY CAR WAS PERFECT. I TOOK THE CAR TO TWO DEALERS WHO SAID AT LOW SPEED THE CAR PERFORMED WELL. THE WAS A LAW SUIT IN CALIFORNIA THAT PROVED THE CAR IS DEFECTIVE AFTER THE RECALL. I MISSED THE DATE BECAUSE I DID NOT RESEARCH THE WEB. I SOLD THE CAR FOR LESS BECAUSE I DID NOT WANT A CRASH. I LOST MONEY ON THE CAR SALE.
