problem #1

RAV4 V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 48,000 miles

The universal joint in the rear was bad. Because of the Toyota design of the drive shaft, the universal joint could not be replaced without replacing the entire drive shaft. A potential minor (under $300) repair turned into a $1120 repair. Screw Toyota now and forever.
