There are have been 6 recalls to date since we purchased 2008 rav4. Most recently, seatbelts were deemed unsafe in the rear, where we harness our children's carseats. This was in april 2016, and we have yet to be contacted about a remedy. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to push for a fix to this situation. We are frustrated that this car is a lemon, but not according to law, since the recalls are rolled out over the course of the last 6-8 years.
