Flawed suspension, a Toyota profit center...

This car has a recall that effectively permanently disables the rear toe alignment adjustment by coating it in epoxy. This results in increased wear and tear on the suspension and tires, and if you require alignment, the cost to replace both lower forward control arms which can be more that $600. A tidy profit for Toyota and Toyota dealers. I'd stay away from this vehicle, and from Toyota, who thinks that it's an acceptable practice to pass on the costs of their engineering failures to the consumer years after the purchase.

Very Unhappy

The vehicle has less than 3,500 miles and already needs a new camshaft. It's been in the dealership for 3 weeks and still has not been repaired. They are working on it.Dealership keeps telling me it will be soon.I've contacted Toyota Motor Company and they have been ABSOLUTELY NO HELP. Once it's repaired I will always have concerns about the reliability. I would never recommend buying this vehicle.

I got my 2010 RAV4 this September so it's only been 3 months but so far, so good. I traded in my 2004 RAV4, which I did enjoy driving as well. The 2010 is much roomier. I love how the backseat folds down so easily (I had to take the seats out in the '04), there is a lot of room in the back, and the drive itself is great- smooth and not a lot of road noise. My main complaints are the cupholders and lack of change drawer! I drive 50/50 highway/city and get ~22mpg. I wish this could be higher but I have the V6, 4 wheel drive so I guess that comes with the territory!

Vibrates on the Highway

I bought the Base Rav4 in August, 2010. Everything is great, except it vibrates a lot and is very noticeable, especially at speeds greater than 50. The Dealership tried to help and rebalanced the wheels for me. It did not help. At the dealership, the service manager and I test drove another new Rav4 and it did the same thing. Called Customer Care at Toyota, and their expert said that they are just made that way and to get used to it. So, I am looking to trade it in soon. And our 2005 Camry vibrated if the wheels were not perfectly balance. This will be my last Toyota. They have gotten way too big and quality issues are popping up and they and really don't care.
