The right rear wheel sensor failed on my 2006 toyota rav4 on 1/19/11. The part was back ordered to 2/24/11. I was assured by the dealer's service department that the car was safe to drive. That was not the case, however, when the left rear wheel sensor failed on 2/2/11, causing the car to become dangerous to drive, while i was on the road. *tr

This is in reference to the electrical problem referenced recently. I have had the same experience of the car just not starting. I discovered that it is related to the stick shift.

No indications of starter sluggish or low battery power. These symptoms have happened several…

I own a 2006 toyota rav4 limited. The digital radio controls occaisionally become inactive and the display goes blank or becomes illegible. When this happens the only contol that works is the mode and volume button on the steering wheel. The problem corrects itself when the vehicle is shut off and then restarted. *jb
