Whether i'm driving or parked with the engine running, the car shuts down completely. I cant turn on the hazard lights or roll down the power windows. I have no lights whatsoever, so no one can see me at night. I had the car towed to the dealership after a bus almost rear-ended me. Previously they replaced the alternator. That did not fix the problem. They cannot fix my car.

Driving on the highway going about 75mph after about 5 hours when a bunch of warning lights came on (including battery, air bag, and brake), my power steering failed and my speedometer quit working. Pulled over on the side of the highway and let my car sit for a minute, restarted my car and three different lights came on (vsc, check engine and slip indicator) and my cruise control wouldn't work anymore. My car…

2007 rav 4 had 3 lights turned on (check engine light, stability control light and [redacted] light), shortly after the lights came on, the brakes failed. Rav4 was taken to toyota delearship for repair and after the technicians being confused by the lights, they determined that the brake booster had failed. This issue is similar to the recent highlinder recall and i feel people's safety is at stake with the brakes…

2007 toyota rav4 rear speed sensors can abruptly fail during poor climate, causing failure to the vehicle stability control, abs, and traction control systems. Toyota has refused to acknowledge that failure of this part is common, which is especially dangerous when driving conditions are poor. *tr

My 2007 6 cyl rav4 has under 30k miles on it. Was fine and after sitting un-driven in my garage for 3 weeks, now the check engine light, vsc, and [redacted] lights stay on. The transmission no longer shifts into overdrive (stays in 4th gear) at highway speeds. Random delayed acceleration when making slow speed turns (usually at intersections or passing in slow moving rush-hour traffic) resulting in sudden…

Check engine light, vehicle stability control (vsc) light & car slipping light on & off while driving. Toyota dealer replaced oxy sensor & vsc computer, but still happens. Toyota doesn't have an answer. Vsc seem to work when lights are off, but understand that won't work when lights are on. Seems to be a problem with these vehicles as i've seem many complaints & questions from other vehicle owners on internet. Not…

I was pulling out of my drive way(about a week ago 3/1/10) and the power steering light came on and i was unable to steer, i turned the engine off and waited a few minutes and restarted the car. The light went off and it has been doing fine since then. I am very concerned about this happening while going down the road! *tr

In march of 2008 i had two occurrences of unintended acceleration with my 2007 six cylinder toyota rav4. The first was very frightening as i was stopped at a red light. The car suddenly accelerated and pulled me through the intersection while my foot was on the brake. If there had been a car in front of me or one coming through the intersection i would have crashed. Shortly after that incident a milder less powerful…

I was turning into a driveway with my foot on the brake when my 2007 rav4 suddenly began to accelerate. The rpm's were over 6000. I took my vehicle into the dealer that day and they performed a diagnostic check but told me they found nothing wrong. I asked what i could do or who i could speak to and they said there nothing unless the vehicle was recalled. This incident happened in may 2009 and when i had the vehicle…

When driving for longs periods, and some short periods including coming home from the dealer when the vehicle was brand new, the check engine, stability control, and 4wd lights come on in the cluster. The cruise control, 4wd, and stability control do not function when this happens. The dealer claims they could not find any codes and cannot fix it. This has been going on since march of 2007, and the warranty has…
