My vehicle has never been in an accident. All recalls have been fixed and then i started having an issue with the occupation detector in the passenger seat. It is not registering that there is an occupant over 1/2 the time. Since this is a costly repair (about 500$) i take it to heart knowing my vehicle is not safe at all times. I do have 2 children and this is our primary family vehicle. I do not think this is a…

On saturday may 21 2016 at 11:00am i was parallel parking. I backed up in the space. I then pulled up a bit and stopped, everything was normal. I then put it in reverse once more to center the vehicle. That's when the engine reved up. I looked at the shifter (in reverse) and my foot(on the break pedal). The engine reved up so hard that the vehicle jolted twice! I thought i had hit the car behind me. I was pushing on…

My 2008 rav4 with 69,548 miles was in motion (approximately 50 mph) when my driver's side visor became detached from the headliner. The visor fell on my lap causing me to become very startled. Fortunately, i did not lose control. I found that there was a service bulletin t-sb-0068-10 issued for this defect but no recall. The dealer charged me $127.52 to replace the visor and the bracket.
