problem #3

Sep 242003

RAV4

  • Manual transmission
  • 80,000 miles

Can't lock car in winter. Doors won't latch shut until car is really warmed up, thawing the mechanism inside door. Often had to drive with seat belt thru arm rest to keep door closed. Very dangerous and cold.

RAV4

  • Automatic transmission
  • 130,000 miles

In cold weather, the car door just will not shut well. I have had instances where my wife was holding on her passenger-side door while I was driving. Hilarious.
