1996 Toyota RAV4 Owner Comments

problem #1

Jan 272004

(reported on)

RAV4

  • Manual transmission
  • 60,000 miles

A D V E R T I S E M E N T S

While driving 55 mph, the owner heard a loud bang. The vehicle swerved all over the highway. The vehicle would no longer go into 5th gear. The 4th gear also began showing symptoms of failure. The manufacturer eventually replaced the transmission. After 40,000 miles the exact same failure recurred with the 5th gear failing. They are not claiming any responsibility for the repair.
