Lost brakes , slowed down but pedal went to floor and yes

Lost brakes , slowed down but pedal went to floor and yes it was good on brake fluid, great vehicle bought new until that point , keep all maintenance up ? SURPRISE ; just got oil change, wipers, and all round check about 1000 miles prior at a great nationwide facility, I don’t know but Toyota may get involved light body damage but could’ve been worse, for all you mechanics yes I checked brake fluid afterwards still good ?

We absolutely love our Rav 4!

We absolutely love our Rav 4! In fact, we’re planning on buying another one soon! Best vehicle we’ve ever owned except for the dealership we bought it from. We’re definitely buying from another dealership when we buy a new one. This one was used with pretty low miles but the dealership treated us horribly. The radio and entertainment system broke the first week after we bought it and the brakes started squealing. Also the tires they put on were the cheapest tires on the market so it’s not as good in the snow as it could be if it had good tires on it. Otherwise, it’s a phenomenal vehicle. Wouldn’t hesitate to buy one. We absolutely love it!!!

Just saying..

Oil changes cost too much. Other than that and replacing tires and battery which are both costly the car is great. Toyota is by and large a great company. I just wish we could keep costs down

363.000 miles and going!!!

I bought my car new Nov 23rd of 2016. I now have 363,000 miles on it and I LOVE it. I drive a ton, all my expenses are my own and this car is the best car I have had. Very low maintenance! My first set of tires made it to over 100,000 miles same with front brakes. My rear brakes made it over 200,000 miles before I had to change them! I fixed the water pump, right side hubs and regular maintenance and that is it! I do regular oil changes and tire rotations at 10,000 miles. I am mostly highway miles. I have been debating more room and getting a Sienna, but I know my Rav is reliable and I am nervous to try something else.

Super Reliable

I have owned 3 Toyotas and none have disappointed. The RAV4 is a reliable vehicle that will last longer than most cars as long as you keep it serviced. All I have ever had to do to my RAV4 was change the parts that normally wear out over time like brakes, tires, and battery.

My experience with my Toyota Rav 4, model 2016

My experience with my Toyota Rav 4, 2016 horrible. First all the panel lights came on. ABS was one of my biggest fears. Sometimes I would have breaks and sometimes I wouldn't. It would cut off going down the road leaving me with no stealing ability. I drove 7 miles down the road and the battery exploded wich then burned my car up. Glad I had full coverage. Later learned these things were a recall but Toyota never contacted me!!

2016 Toy Rav4 EXL

Excellent vehicle. I believe its well made. Its not falling apart. No problems with it, except the airbag malfunction warning light being on all of a sudden and the cigarette lighter went out to plug in things, but it does have 2 other plugs ins for the cell phone. Also the roof window is being slow to close so I just dont open it anymore. It could be the fuses. These minor problems need to be checked. The warranty was very short because supposedly things changed when the dealership got sold. Therefore I don't care about the dealership. I will buy somewhere else next time. I bought this vehicle because it fits. It's easy to get on and off.
