i bought a 2011 rav4 4cyl sport. not even 2 years have passed and the rav4 has premature brake wear, a dead battery, glove compartment broke, also have taken it to the dealer TWICE cause the alarm will go off randomly. thank God that all of that was cover by warranty .like a month ago i started noticing that i was getting very poor gas millage (and i drive like a granda on the highway 65mph to 70mph) i was driving 65 for 2 hours and getting 17MPG ONLY(i wasn't hauling and i don't tow nothing i was the only one in the car). two weeks later i started to hear that the engine was getting a bit ticky ,but i've done all the maintnance on time,i took it to the dealer they told me that everyting is fine,okey i said. 5 days later the battery went dead,so a bought a optima gel battery and everything was back to normal until like 9 days ago the car did not want it to accelerate, traccion control light when on and two different light turn on ,no check engine when up and when it does accelerate it hasitates or it stalls. i called the dealer so they could call the tow truck .and when he comes he told me that the dealer was going to stay with the rav4 cause the toyota said that all rav4 of that generation were defective.!!!! so now iv'e been without my car for 1 week but they won't give another nor give me my money back(cause i the rav4 pay cash). THIS WAS MY FIRST AND LAST TOYOTA ...TOYOTAS ARE A P.O.S and i would never recommend a toyota not even to my worst enemy.
