The shade popped off the window and smacked the consumers child in the face. It seems like the corners were way too heavy for this product to be considered safe in a car. *bf the consumer stated her daughter had a swollen lip and her lip was bleeding.

I recently had a failure of the control module (ecu), i was told by my mechanic that this problem came up frequently for rav 4s of years 2002 and 2003 and that toyota was aware of this issue since 2006 ' but never recalled the cars! After searching on the internet i noticed that there were hundreds of complaints regarding exactly the same issue and even a class action lawsuit for the same matter filed in 2009. The…

I have a 2006 toyota rav4 with 33,167 miles. The ignition key is about to fall apart. All the covers for the push buttons on the key are falling apart. This just started about a month ago. I went to the dealer and i was informed the key was not covered under warranty and would cost $250.00 to replace. *tr

I am reporting and acceleration problem in my 2008 toyota rav4. The problem occurs randomly as i am approaching and slowing down for a stop sign or a traffic light. There is a slight surge in the car, even though my foot is on the break as i am slowing down. I estimate this problem has occurred around 10 times in the 19,000 miles that i have owned the rav4. I cannot duplicate or replicate the surge at will, as i…

My 2009 rav 4 has a floor mat that creeps forward and gets caught under the accelerator pedal. It took some time for it to start doing this, but now i can't keep it in place, it has no hooks. The rav is not on the recall list from toyota for this particular problem, but it has it. It happens every day, if i put it back in position and drive the car by the time i get home it's under the accelerator pedal. *tr

I have a vibration when going between 62-70mph. Have no idea from what have taken it to the dealer, they balanced the tires, we had a private tire dealer check the balance, still there. The owner of our dealership called and said she test drove two other ones, same model as ours and they do it too. In fact she said one vibrates worse than ours. We are being told this is normal, but we know, that no vibration is…

I have already made a previous complaint about acceleration problems with my rav4 that caused an accident. I am still having issues regarding this problem. My car will suddenly jump while barely pushing the gas pedal. It does not do it all the time but will do so randomly which is even worse because one doesn't know when it will happen. It is scary driving a vehicle that from minute to minute you have no idea when…

Last august i experienced a stuck accelerator on my 2008 toyota rav4. It happened only once and hasn't repeated. It was while approaching an intersection red light fortunately with no cars in front of me. I was able to overcome the acceleration by standing on the brake and shifting into neutral. When toyota came out with the recall for floor mats my car was not one of the models with those typr of floor mats and the…
