2011 Toyota RAV4 suspension complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 16 of 16, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The 2011 toyota rav 4 was in a toyota repair shop for an oil change. We requested a look at brakes because of the rear end noise and vibration on braking. The shop call to say our tires had worn on the inner edge to such a dangerous degree that they would not advise travel. We carefully drove a few miles to our tire store because of the service and warranty. They agreed to prorate the tires. A mechanic suggested they saw the same problem with the same model the week prior. They said it was a rear suspension issue. I checked for other people having this issue and found that toyota had known about the problem and we're forced into a recall by the u s government. They are keeping the information from the public. We could have died in an accident due to the tires. The front tires are in perfect shape and past experience with this brand did not indicate any problems. The real issue is why did toyota not tell us about the recall while we were in the shop and do something to insure our safety?? We could have died.
2011 toyota rav 4. Consumer writes in regards to the rear lower suspension arms recall notice. *smd the consumer stated the amount of time to get an appointment, was unreasonable.
Loud bang which sounds like a hammer hitting the bottom of the vehicle. Problem first noticed around 1000 miles and happens frequently. It happens typically when passengers are in the middle and or 3rd row seats at speeds usually above 25 miles per hour. This is an ongoing problem with my 4 wheel drive, 3rd row seat rav4 now at 73k miles. It can happen within a few miles of each incident or go hundreds of miles before it happens again. Very alarming. I have taken it into the dealer several times yet every time their technicians take the vehicle for test drive, they can not replicate the problem.

While driving north in stop and go traffic on dan ryan expressway I was accelerating from about 20 MPH to about 35 MPH, when the car started to vibrate very bad, as if all four wheels had hit the rumble strip on the edge of the road. The car has been riding a lot rougher since about jan 30th.
