RAV4 4-cyl

  • miles
Well documented problem online which I have with my vehicle. The remodeled 2019 Toyota Rav4 has a common water leak where the headliner meets the safety airbags. This is a result of the plastic pins holding the roof rail racks on being crushed by the factory during installation.' Consumer stated there was no service bulletin when vehicle was sold, even though failure was known by the manufacturer.

RAV4

  • 8,000 miles
Water stains on the interior headliner where the plastic A-pillar cover meets the roof. This appears on both side of the car. The water leaks all the way down to the floor not the driver and passenger side. There is a lot of electronic wires / connectors / side airbags and driver dash panel and they all get wet and appear they get corroded thus impairing function of the car and create danger or unexpected behavior of the car. The issue appears to be a pin that mounts the roof rails to the body of the car. Water will leak inside the car after rain or car wash. The issue appears when car is stationary and while in motion but during movement water leaks faster.
