Last night while driving with my young daughter on a lonely highway with no cell service, my 2006 toyota rav 4 v6 limited started making a noise. I immediately checked my dash and no lights were on, pressures okay. The noise stopped and i kept driving. About twelve miles from home the noise started again and my daughter noticed. I looked down and my oil pressure light flashed on and right back off. We barely made it…

My 2006 rav4 4wd (40,000 miles) began leaking oil at a very fast rate, leaving a large puddle of oil on the garage floor, which wasn't immediately noticed by me. The oil pressure indicator light never illuminated, therefore i had no way of knowing that there was almost no oil in the car. I would not have known there was a problem if my boyfriend had not called me from the house to warn me that most of the oil that…

The accelerator is very twitchy. On one occasion, about a month ago, the accelerator stuck in our parking area. I immediately put the vehicle into neutral and averted an accident. *tr

This past weekend we had just driven our 2006 rav4 with a v6 engine over 150 interstate miles and pulled over for a rest stop. We smelled oil on exiting the vehicle and when we opened the hood we found that there was oil spraying on the passenger rear side of the engine. On checking the dipstick we found that it showed no oil. No warning light had come on and the engine had not made any unusual sounds. Since we were…

My wife was driving home from work and the engine started to lose power, and making a loud knocking noise. After arriving home, i started the engine and heard the same loud knocking noise. I checked the oil level, and saw that it was non-existent. After researching on the internet, i found many people with the same issue. It appears that the oil line is continuing to fail on the newer v-6 engines. I will be calling…

The vehicle has frequent problems with acceleration - especially from standing still. I have had many close calls when trying to enter traffic from my driveway, or from other places. I will step on the gas, begin moving, then the engine will bog down and i will have no acceleration at all. Having children, i bought this vehicle based in large part to its safety features. This problem, however, practically negates…
