I bought RAV4 Model 2015 bearing Vehicle No. JTDZF9EV1FD054133 in April, 2015 from ALJ Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. After running 25000 KM the front Hubs started noise resultantly totally damaged. I contacted Turner through my Mechanic, they advised that the noise will not stop even after the application of tools due to thickness problem as the Hubs material used in this part is very low quality and it will not long last. They also told me that after one year, you will face the same problem because it is mfg. fault in this model besides they also received five to six same complaints during last month. Alternately, I replaced with the new ones along with pads keeping in mind that I have to bear SR.2,200 annually. But I am not expecting such a problem from the new brand of reputed Vehicles, whereas the warranty of all accessories/parts are for three (03) years. If this is the case, it is heavy loss for consumers and will adversely affect your market reputation too. A friend of mine has the same vehicle but Model is 2007. He changed the brake Pads several times during this tenure but the Hubs are the same. Keeping in view all the facts, it transpired that these parts, which company fixed on this vehicle are substandard and low quality.
You are kindly requested to look into the matter and advise me accordingly so that I could maintain/drive my vehicle safely and economically.
