I have fixed my rear suspension more than 4x and it continues to go bad, it works fine for a couple of weeks but still not running well then it shocks and goes back to bouncing whenever it hits a bump or anything not smooth on the roads. It happens when driving and you feel it a lot more when it's running on local roads. The visibility is bad, the defogger does not work and I have to wait about 15-20 mins or open the window. When I put my hands on the vent for the defogger there is no air coming from it.

All windows besides the windshield have water spot buildup. We had them professionally removed in june of 2014. 5 years later the spots are building up again. That would be at 36,000 miles and now again at 90,000 miles.

Driver visor will not stay in the up position. The visor will fall done "while driving" the vehicle blocking the drivers view of the road causing dangerous and unsafe vehicle operation.

Tl* the contact owns a 2011 toyota rav4. While driving at a very low speed, the sun roof exploded without warning or an impact. There were no injuries. The vehicle was not diagnosed. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the sun roof was replaced. The dealer and manufacturer were not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.

Drivers side visor won't stay up which causes a visibility issue. There's a recall on the camry s but not on the rav4 and same part. I saw another person reported same issue. The dealer is quoting $170 plus to fix. I've been dealing with this visor for a year not t even realizing it is something that was a recall for another model. I feel toyotas defective part should be fixed or offer a lower rate to fix issue.

I received a recall notice on my vehicle for the windshield wipers. I made an appointment with scott clark toyota on 13000 e independence blvd, matthews, nc 28105. They told me they would not do the recall unless I paid them over $400 to replace another part in the wipers. I have had no problem with my vehicles wipers and told I did not need the part replaced just do the recall. They refused. So, to date my recall has not been repaired. They gave me no paperwork to corroborate my claim.

I have called authorized toyota dealers several times and they promised to call me back once they have the part available for this repair but they never called me back. It has been for more than 6 months.

Sun visor on left driver side now droops after only owning vehicle for 5 years. Noticed toyota warranty extensions for toyota camrys but not toyota rav4s. The parts are not different and this is a known issue with toyota.
