THIS IS THE SECOND COMPLAINT I HAVE HAD ON MY 2006 RAV4 V6 2WD EMISSION SYSTEM CAUSING MY VEHICLE STABILITY, TRACTION CONTROL, AND SPEED CONTROL SYSTEMS TO FAIL. THE FIRST EVENT IS ODI NUMBER 10268422. THE SECOND EVENT WAS DUE TO A MILE OF DRIVING SLOWLY IN LIGHT SNOW CAUSING A FUEL EVAPORATION FILTER TO BREAK A TUBE FITTING OFF. WATER ENTERED THE BROKEN TUBE AND FAILED THE FUEL EVAP CHARCOAL CANISTER WHICH IN TURN FAILED THE VEHICLE STABILITY, TRACTION CONTROL, AND SPEED CONTROL SYSTEMS (ODI NUMBER 10268424). I SEE NO REASON TO TIE EMISSIONS INTO SAFETY SYSTEMS SUCH AS THESE UNLESS IT IS TO "ENCOURAGE" OWNERS TO BRING THEIR VEHICLES IN FOR EMISSIONS SERVICE. AFTER SOME WRANGLING, THE DEALER AGREED TO SUBMIT IT TO MY EXTENDED WARRANTY AND IT WAS COVERED IN FULL. I WAS TOLD THE CHARCOAL CANNISTER WOULD HAVE COST ME $700. *TR
I HAVE A 2013 TOYOTA RAV4 LIMITED. IN ANY SIGNIFICANT AMBIENT LIGHT LEVEL, THE NAVIGATION SCREEN IS NOT VISIBLE. THE GLARE ON THE SCREEN IS HORRIFIC. NOTIFIED DEALERSHIP. THEY CHECKED IT OUT AND CONFIRMED THAT I DID, INDEED, HAVE A PROBLEM. DEALERSHIP MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH ME TO MEET WITH A FACTORY REP. I MET WITH THE REP, AND HE AGREED THIS IS A REAL PROBLEM, HOWEVER HE HAD NO IMMEDIATE SOLUTION. I CONTACTED THE TOYOTA "HOTLINE" AND THEY REFERRED ME BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, TRYING TO POSITION MY HEAD SO THAT I CAN TRY TO GET A CLEAR VIEW OF THE SCREEN. (WHICH IS STILL NOT POSSIBLE) I FEEL LIKE I HAVE SPENT IN EXCESS OF ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR AN OPTION THAT IS UNUSABLE. PLEASE HELP! TOYOTA DOES NOT SEEM TO BE LISTENING TO ME. *TR
