RAV4 4WD 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • miles
My rav has had 2 engine replacements the first at 16,000 miles and the second at 49,000 miles. The first one happened when it stalled out going through an extremely large puddle of water on the access road and the second for no apparent reason.

RAV4 4WD 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • miles
My rav 4 - 57348 miles. It started making a tapping sound in the engine and it has makes a metal on metal vibration upon acceleration and especially when I make a gradual left turn and decelerate. I brought it into the dealer. They say it may be that the lifters are a bit worn and that this will not harm anything. This is odd because a new engine was placed in the car at 49,000 + miles. They could not identify what the vibration noise was and said that it is possibly a rock in the brake system. I know what that sounds like and strongly disagree with their analysis. The noise is definitely coming from the engine.
