Poor Interior Integrity / Lame Technology System

I've owned a Rav4 since 2013, the redesign model year. If there's one thing you should know, it is this: The interior cabin is filled with rattles and squeaks. In less than three years (still under warranty as I write this), I've had no less than 4 different rattles and tapping noises to chase down. This started before 1K miles! The materials are very cheap Chinese plastics. I had one HUGE dash vent rattle fixed by the dealer. I'd been to the dealer a total of three times to fix the other noises and a "catch" in the moonroof cover to no avail. So, I've had to watch youtube videos on how to take apart the dash pieces to fix them myself. After taking the dash apart, one thing is apparent: If Toyota would use slightly better grade materials and have the factory workers put another few minutes into assembling the interior, this could all be avoided. The other thing you should know about is the Info- tainment system. Toyota Entune system is a joke and all Nav head unit functions are slow and clunky especially when compared to other auto makes from the same era. It's like Toyota was 3 years behind the others in what they offered and how smoothly it works… another obvious COST CUTTING measure. Other than the glaring interior quality issues and a slightly harsh ride on the 18" Bridgestone Dueler stock tires, the motor, transmission and brakes have been fine so far. Last words: I bought this car blindly on the history of owning 9 Toyotas before it. My mistake but who would think these guys could build such a P O S after a long history with the brand? My last Toyota. I'm moving to Mazda.

Listen, I love my Totoyta Rav 4 limited. It drives nice, comfortable nice features.. but I can't get past the tailgate. ITS AWFUL. I bought it used last year, everything seemed great, then my tailgate had issues opening. I got my car in December, live in Canada, so I thought maybe it's just too cold for it to work properly. Wrong. I didn't even have it for 2 months and I was having issues and they have yet to be resolved with any resolution in sight. Took it to the dealership, they said basically all I could do was grease it up and clean it. Huh? There isn't function to turn it off but it still doesn't open properly which is really annoying. I wish there was the option for it to open just like a regular trunk. The same day I was at the dealership a lady had the same issue with her car but it wasn't even closing or opening. How isn't this addressed when it's the main issue with this year's make. I am not very happy about it. Anyways just something to think about. The feature is nice when it works. Which is never

This car is really nice. Easy to drive. I got the XLE model from Mark Jacobson Toyota in Raleigh/NC. They were nice to deal with. I like the drivers seat, it is very comfortable. The electronic gear shift, is also very handy. I got 32 miles on HWY. I had the front windows tinted and that helped out from the heat. I think Toyota builds the best car for the money. The one thing I would change is when you open the hood, you have to use the rod to hold it up. Not a good idea.
