My check engine light has been on for approximately 50,000 of the 255,000 miles on my rav4. It has been on it seems mostly because of oxygen sensors and related emissions "issues" and this has cost me thousands over the years in diagnostics, troubleshooting, and masking other problems that really were occurring. The check engine light is on so much that it's hard to tell when there really is a problem. Recently my…

The driver's side visor will not stay in position. It flops down when i'm driving, making it suddenly hard to see. The problem started very gradually a few years ago but now has rapidly gotten much worse. I think toyota should have a recall on this problem.

Drivers side visor will not stay up. Falls down constantly. Driver cannot see when it happens. I bought my rav4 used and didnt notice it until my husband drove it. It doesn't bother me because i'm short. When my husband drives it we have to rig it to stay up but nothing ever works for long before it falls down again. It could easily cause an accident if driving in heavy traffic.

Takata recall. I was driving and stopped for a light down a road in staten island, ny. As i was waiting, a deer was crossing the road. Simultaneously, a bus was next to me and scared the deer which caused it to run straight into my vehicle doing a fair amount of damage which has since been fixed. My airbag did not inflate, even though i was hit pretty hard. I was shaken up but suffered no major injuries.…
