The car was lifted up to replace tires and somehow the exhaust system was pushed up and got stuck with the exit inside the bumper leading to a fire and melting the bumper. The car was taken to the car dealer and they explained that the tires place didn't noticed that the exhausted system was stuck up.the bumper was replaced at my own expense. *tr

After a session of heavy rain water leaks onto the passenger side floor board. It only happens after prolonged rain and seems to be leaking from somewhere beneath the glove compartment. I took the vehicle to the dealer but they were unable to diagnose the problem. I've read online complaints from other owners with the same problem. *tr

Water leaking on passenger side floor...carpet is soaked. Appears to happen after heavy rain. We are bringing it in to dealer again tomorrow - this is the third time. They said they will check to see if the a/c is leaking. The water guy won't be in until late next week and i'm concerned that the vehicle has already sustained some damage and may incur more if it continues to rain before this is fixed. *tr

Front cup holders for the 2006 toyota rav4 are inadequate for holding most cup sizes without fear of the cup tipping over. The locking mechanism to secure a cup does not accommodate large or medium diameter sized cups (only small diameter cups can be secured in the holder). I almost scalded myself on numerous occasions due to the cup tipping over upon making a turn. Toyota is obviously aware of the problem since it…
