RAV4 V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 30,510 miles

The motor for the electronic front window on the passenger's side quit working when the car was 3 months out of the 36 month warranty. My problem is that this motor needed to be replaced on a car with 30,510 which is not something you expect to have happen when you buy a Toyota. Toyota said they would pay for the part if I paid for the labor, both of which were about equal in cost. So, I had to write a check for $250 for 2 hours labor to replace a part that should not have failed. This repair occurred while my Toyota RAV was in the Folsom Lake Toyota repair shop for a "recall" item that needed to be fixed. Meanwhile, Toyota has "recalled" the vehicle for an airbag issue that can't be fixed for several months as they don't have the parts to fix it yet. Even the service technician felt that it should have been covered in full by Toyota. Corporate Toyota's District Service Manager apparently felt different. My advice, buy a Honda.
