RAV4 Limited 3.5L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 115,575 miles

So here I am again third year of having this piece of sh*t Toyota! And it is leaking again from the tranny. Don't know what seal blew this time as it is in the shop for repairs now with my tranny specialist. But I'm thinking just how many people would never find these leak issues until its too late and the tranny blows from excessive heat and all fluid leaked out. Luckily I always check for leaks under my vehicles when I park them because any leak from a car is a bad thing. So it's being fixed and I will update this thread when I get the damage. I'm sure Toyota still makes some good models out there worthy of their reputation, but Rav4's are not one of them. AVOID like the Plague!
