In this case you can get a new engine under a 7 year or 112,000 mile warranty. So now my warranty apparently won't cover this so I'm stuck with a car with no engine. As fun and practical as the engine was, I did not fall in love with the brakes. Don't think you can just pop out and buy 4 of the later type. Toyota uses this engine in many different vehicles and a search online finds that there are quite a few people with this problem but Toyota will do nothing about it. Those that drive this car should be made aware that this could happen with a car equipped with electrical steering.
I am worried that this is a safety issue. The rack and pinion steering gear has apparently failed, and there is a heavy rattle in the rear also. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the contact was informed that the issue was normal. I lost power from both my alternator and battery intermittently. Dealer would not release a copy of the diagnostic report. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed that the posterior oxygen sensor was defective and needed to be replaced.
We were looking to buy a new one 2 years ago but stopped when we found out that newer models don't have 6 cylinder engines. Also it seems making turns contributes to it. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed that the posterior oxygen sensor was defective and needed to be replaced. Btw - my Rav4 was at 90,200 miles. As it's aged it's become a lot noisier with rattles around the sun roof we can't seem to contain.
While driving 65 mph the instrumental panel lights illuminated and the vehicle stalled. My test vehicle featured black cloth interior that was comfortable and felt good to the touch. This is not what I am announcing at the moment, but merely to outline the problem of the oil burning on the rav 4. The affected vehicles have rear suspension arms rear tie rods with adjusting lock nuts that may have been improperly tightened after servicing. I am suspecting that its not true that the mechanic took the injctors to the injector repair shop.
After a long commute in bumper-to-bumper traffic I had no need for a prolonged stretch and no complaints about my back. Owners may contact Toyota at 1-800-331-4331. I am purchasing more than the usual amount of engine oil at the store than I would buy. The vehicle was not repaired. This has been a problem since it was new but we were told it was the left front strut. Owners took car to Toyota dealer within an hour of the incident. Toyota uses this engine in many different vehicles and a search online finds that there are quite a few people with this problem but Toyota will do nothing about it.
Why Toyota got rid of it on this model is incomprehensible. I noticed smoke or steam coming from the engine compartment, I opened the hood and there was a fire in the engine compartment. Took vehicle to dealer and they diagnosed problem as defective charcoal canister. They said due to the lack of oil, I blew a piston and a bearing and they had to take my engine apart. When four-wheel drive is needed, the system automatically shifts power so both sets of wheels share the load. We have had to do a break job in it twice. Oil and engine light came on but mechanic could not find a problem and stated there was plenty of oil in the car.
What do you mean by engine job? The vehicle was taken back to the dealer who diagnosed that the brake booster needed to be replaced. The contact owns a 2007 Toyota Rav4. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The idea of injector servicing is usually to change nozzle tip needle valve to adjust pressure by washers and program unit as whole on the fuel stand. The failure mileage was 91,789. The vehicle was not repaired.
Not good for long drives. But I drive a lot of highway miles and getting on the highway this is a significant drag, pun intended. The car is almost shaking and making this loud noise, but when I cross 40mph it disappears. My vehicle is relatively new and there is no reason that I should need a new engine, not for a seven year old vehicle. The failure and current mileage was 27,000. I find it incredible that Toyota would not pay for these repairs since they involve emissions as well as a safety issues.
They could not identify what the vibration noise was and said that it is possibly a rock in the brake system. My vehicle is relatively new and there is no reason that I should need a new engine, not for a seven year old vehicle. Dealers will also affix instructions in multiple places to prevent improper servicing in the future. The first shop not Toyota determined the oil leak was from the oil filter cap o-ring which part of it flatten and extended out causing a large amount of oil to leak out. The vehicle was towed to a local repair shop who determined the engine had failed due to oil sludge. The contact mentioned that that same part was replaced three years ago. Just call the mechanic now and he said the injector is ready and should be installed by tomorrow.
