In late summer/early fall 2016 my 2007 toyota rav4 began experiencing rear suspension, alignment, and tire wear problems associated with the toyota recall at the time, although my car was not included in the recall. When my mechanic examined the car, he said it made no sense that toyota's solution in their second suspension recall was to epoxy pieces in place and not allow the vehicle's suspension to adjust to…

On july 31st, 2015, the toyota dealership performed a suspension recall work to replace both "rear #1 lower suspension arms". That work included a 4 wheel alignment and a permanent sealant that prevented future rear alignment of the rear wheels. On august 3rd, 2016, (approx. 13k miles later) the vehicle was taken to a les schwab tire center to have the brakes inspected. During the brake inspection, the technician…

The wheels were designed with a lip that does not drain, causing them to rust over time as water and road waste sits in the lip. I only learned about the rust, which is not visible, when i recently purchased a new set of tires. Surprisingly, my new tires immediately started losing air. After checking the tires and replacing the valve stems, my mechanic used the soapy water test to determine that the wheels…

The metal rims which hold the tires get rusted due to design. This is a great safety concern. The rims are design such way that they hold water, rainwater, and salty ice/snow inside the rims and never drain out; which causes the wheels to rust, and could cause a safety concern. The rims/wheels should have been rust proof in first place. These rims/wheels are not, and on the contrary hold water inside along the outer…

Right rear lower suspension arm snapped causing the right rear tire to turn to the side, causing us to lose control of the vehicle. I was able to gain control and stop the car due to the low rate of speed. We had a recall for this problem. Toyota installed a temporary fix, however when we received an updated recall, we continually called to have the permanent fix only to be told that the part was not available we…

Failure # 1 one of the steel rims on my rav 4 developed a crack causing a sudden loss of pressure. I had the rim replaced with a new one. Since then i have had to replace 2 additional rims with the same (broken weld) symptoms, one with a break over 21" long. Toyota has failed to address this issue of unintended consequences. Failure # 2 the air bag sensing light came on in my rav 4 so i had it checked out at my…

We were on our way to see my wife's doctor for her medical condition at the time. Thankfully we had just made a turn on to the on-ramp of the garden state parkway and were moving at a relatively slow speed. I can't imagine what would have happened if we were traveling at highway speed…

New air monitor valve stems on toyota vehicles are made of aluminum alloy material, not the standard brass metal used on most valve stems. The use of common metal caps to cover the valve stems in conjunction with common highway de-icer chemicals can result in accelerated corrosion and seizing of the valve caps to the stem. The result is that you cannot remove the valve cap to put air in the tire and if too much…
