Does anyone have a Toyota rav?

[rascal]

we got ours recently, but has it water in the passenger footwell, does anyone else have this problem?

Have you checked the Toyota Service Bulletins for your year? There was a known leak - cowl panel in the older ones. Mine is 2010 and there is a very boring problem with water collecting in the rear door which rusts the hinges. I think Toyota had a patch where it lost its way a bit designwise.

Mine is an older Rav- 05
In heavy rain, I get water coming through by the rear view mirror.

Check if the air conditioning hose is plugged. Does it also make a noise when the air conditioning is on?

Could be something as simple as the rubber seal on the window. Easy fix.

I do but no issues - husband is on the Facebook group RAV4 owners group or similar, says it’s very helpful.

This one is 2003, we loved the hylux we had, and although this one is a really nice car, i hope the dealer it was bought from can sort the leaks.

 

[Identityincrisis]

I did, i sold it, bloody awful car. I think i was unlucky but i was happy to see the back of it

 

[rascal]

that is sad, i hope the dealer can fix ours.

I have just bought a 2008 one, happy with it so far, had stage 1 re map which helps. I find water in the rear bottom storage area, not much just a tiny amount.

Have a good google around so you are prepared and they can't fob you off. Found this on a Rav4 forum (Skullguy's reply halfway down page). Seems an easy fix (for the dealer) if that is the problem.

I absolutely love my Rav, it’s my second and I’ll get another (I had my personal plate start with R4 so I don’t have much choice haha- yes, I’m that sad) I find them to be super cars and very reliable.

I am loving mine - had a top of the range Freelander before and it was great but the Rav is better for me. Husband calls it the Tonya Toy cos it’s a bit tinny compared with the Freelander but honestly it ticks every box - those back seats folding completely flat is a huge binus, I got two four drawer filing cabinets in it recently!

My new to me Honda Jazz had a flood on the tray behind the rear seats yesterday. I went to see the one man dealer and he instantly said we'll have to get that sorted so it's booked on into the garage that he always uses next Wednesday. He also came to the house to see the problem for himself before I set about mopping up. I hope that your dealer is as helpful.

As soon as we told him there was a problem he said they would sort it, so hope they can. It is a super car apart from the leaks.

 

[rascal]

Took the rav back to the dealer yesterday, said they had sorted the leaks, today as wet as it was before, not impressed.

 

[rascal]

Flpping great, car gong in monday, but car we are expected to use while they fix it is manual, ours is automatic, not driven one for donkeys ,it will be no use at all.

 

[AmyMay]

Then tell them it must be automatic

I have a 2006 Rav 4 - love mine! If she has to go I'd definitely get another! Never had a problem with leaks anywhere thankfully. I call mine the Baby Landcruiser... one day I might be able to afford an actual Landcruiser, that's the dream but for now I love my Ravvie.

 

[Cocorules]

Got an 04 one. In the four years I have had it, it has gone through the MOT with no advisories each time. The drag links do go but I drive it off road a lot. No issues with water fortunately. Would definitely have another.

 

[rascal]

Apparently a manual is all they have
We love ours but could do without the leaks, lovely car, or at least it will be when it is fixed.
will someone please ask Him upstairs to turn the tap off, we are going to get snow to go with the rain in the midlands.

 

[rascal]

The Toyota Rav is going back to the dealers, it is the sunroof leaking, and the only way they can stop it is with tape. If the tape comes off we will be back to leaks, so he is getting us a different car.

 

[Penny Less]

I had a problem similar with a Rav but it was the drainage holes in the roof gutter blocked !

 

[rascal]

It is a lovely car, sad to see it go back, but do not really trust it now not to leak again.
