TOYOTA RAV4 2006 car safety problem was reported on May 16, 2006.TOYOTA RAV4 2006, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with POWER TRAIN:AXLE HUBS . i have a brand new 2006 toyota rav4 v6 sport 4wd and within 4 days of collection, the rear left wheel was in the process of falling off. while this probably sounds dramatic and an exaggeration, it is not. with 144 miles on the odometer, i took it back to the dealer to have the source of a squealing sound looked at. the sound began around 50 miles as a very faint, brief noise and gradually got worse until at 144 miles i was at the dealer. on the shop lift, it was apparent the noise was the wheel bearing/hub assembly coming apart. the lug nuts were tight and the wheel was loose - very loose. i am thankful i did no highway driving in those 144 miles. the technician said the wheel would have fallen off. toyota have since replaced the parts under warranty but i am very unhappy with them and how they dealt with the whole potentially fatal situation. i have video of the loose wheel in the shop that i would be happy to share with you. *jb.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 144 miles.

TOYOTA RAV4 2006 car safety problem was reported on June 15, 2006.TOYOTA RAV4 2006, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION . a 2006 toyota rav4 v6 limited 4x2. problem: automatic transmission defect? sometimes when i step on accelerator there's lag time before car shifts and gets going. also there's an ongoing (month or so) droning noise. i took car to toyota dealer 6/15/06. service writer and 2 techs heard droning noise while i was there. with the car. i asked to bring the car in the following saturday as i work during the week, but they said saturdays not good so i made appointment for 6/26/06. they told me it wasn't dangerous to drive the car. i took car in 6/26/06 & rode with master tech who was able to hear the droning noise. he drove car, also sat in parking lot with engine running and shifted into park and into reverse etc. with his foot on the brake and noise changed in intensity in different gears. he took car back to service center and checked it out. the service writer said the tech not able to pinpoint problem, but tech would call toyota engineering the next morning because he didn't want to try a fix when he didn't know what the problem was. they gave me my car back, said they'd call me after talking to toyota engineering. they called me 6/27/06, said master tech had talked to toyota engineering and they've had other complaints re same droning noise, are working to find cause so they can create a tsb and either reduce or eliminate the noise. service writer told me t there is no timeline for a fix and to just "sit tight" and wait until they call. they agree the noise should not be there. i'm worried that ongoing noise indicates that some part is overworking and may wear out and since the noise changes in intensity sometimes depending what gear the car is in i worry that it is the transmission and that a failure may result. i don't understand how they can tell me the vehicle is safe to drive when they claim they don't know what the problem is. it is very unsettling to have to just wait for who knows how long for them to fix the problem. *nm.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 2400 miles.

TOYOTA RAV4 2006 car safety problem was reported on Jan 08, 2006.TOYOTA RAV4 2006, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL . there is a problem in acceleration delay/throttle lag in the 2006 toyota rav4. after taking delivery jan 06 and while driving 12k miles, we have experienced erratic acceleration problems. from complete stops or rolling starts, when turning corners in either direction, on uphill grades, or attempted passing, there is a significant delay in delivering forward speed regardless of how much pressure is put on the foot feed. after the delay, forward speed is delivered suddenly, causing the car to lurch forward and the engine to race. the forward speed lags continuously up hills, depending on the grade. under these conditions, everyday driving is hazardous and i have had many close calls. the toyota dealer dismissed our initial complaints, stating that this problem was 'normal', and we put up with this for too long before insisting the vehicle be checked out. the dealer said no error codes were generated and no tsb's had been issued and that they would have to be able to duplicate the problem in order to fix it, as though we're the only people with this complaint. after some persistence on our part, they gave the impression that they're well aware of a problem, but seem to be stone walling while laying the blame on toyota to issue a fix. this is a very dangerous fault in the new rav4. my online research has now revealed that there are numerous complaints of this same problem on consumer websites such as toyota nation and edmunds. for toyota dealers to pretend this is an isolated, insignificant problem is, at the very least, deceptive and may prove to be criminal, as this acceleration problem could well lead to an accident. toyota must fix this problem asap. *jb .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 35 miles.

TOYOTA RAV4 2006 car safety problem was reported on Aug 15, 2006.TOYOTA RAV4 2006, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with POWER TRAIN . new 2006 rav 4 was purchased at grappone toyota, concord nh, on 7-28-06. during he first 600 miles of operation per the manufacturer. break in recommendations it became apparent that the vehicle had a serious malfunction regarding normal acceleration and throttle use. this condition leads in an intermittent fashion to failure to accelerate when merging on the highway, failure to resume steady throttle setting after rounding a corner, sudden and serious hesitation when attempting to accelerate normally and sudden and serious losses of power on the road. these symptom are accompanied by a full time throttle lag, which prevents normal use of the throttle and often, after a varied period of delay, is followed by a sudden downshift and rush of power and acceleration. i complained to the dealer on 8-22-06 and was deferred until 8-25-06 at which time the dealer checked the engine computer and told me that the degree of malfunctioning is "normal" and could not be addressed. i told them that was unacceptable and that since this uncertain and erratic performance compromised the safety of my wife and myself we would not be able to resume normal use of the car until the dealer or manufacturer chose to address the problem. after 43 years of safe driving, i'm not about to drive an uncontrollable car in traffic on public roads when it may suddenly fail to accelerate or fail to resume normal speed after braking. any sudden erratic moves can be dangerous to ourselves and to surrounding traffic and i find it deeply disturbing that neither toyota nor grappone toyota will bother to return my calls nor address this matter. i have spoken with toyota and they have not returned my calls, facilitated a repair or even bothered to try to fix the car. please investigate this situation which i now believe is common to about 10% of rav 4s before it costs someone their life. thank you. *nm .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 150 miles.

TOYOTA RAV4 2006 car safety problem was reported on Feb 25, 2006.TOYOTA RAV4 2006, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . i purchased a 2006 toyota rav4 limited 4 cyl in january/february of 2006. i noticed a problem in acceleration/hesitation after driving the vehicle for about a week. i have experienced acceleration problems on a daily basis. steady pressure on the accelerator yields no response, or a stutter as though the car is about to stall. when this occurs, the only way to get the car moving is to push the pedal all the way to the floor, at which point the engine races and the car speeds up. this hesitation happens throughout the day. the first time this occurred i was pulling onto a major highway from a side street and was nearly rear-ended because the car simply would not go (until i slammed the pedal to the floor). this is very unsafe for everyday driving. i reported the problem to the toyota dealer who stated that this problem was 'normal' for toyotas and something i needed to get used to. they did checkout the car and said no error codes were generated and they were unable to duplicate the problem. *nm.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 600 miles.

TOYOTA RAV4 2006 car safety problem was reported on Oct 31, 2006.TOYOTA RAV4 2006, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . we purchased a 2006 toyota rav4 4x4 limited in march 2006. since the day we purchased the vehicle, we have had issues with the acceleration either not responding or lurching forward. when taking off from a stop, it occasionally takes the car several seconds to engage and accelerate. other times, when slowing down to stop at a light or sign, the car continues to rev the rpmâ¿¿s and lurches forward. in order to stop the car from lurching forward, we have to put the car in neutral and slam on the breaks. this is very scary if you are coming up to an active intersection. from reading other complaints, toyota needs to address this issue! *nm.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 500 miles.

Toyota Rav4 2006 Power Train Automatic Transmission Review #10175890

TOYOTA RAV4 2006 car safety problem was reported on Aug 05, 2006.TOYOTA RAV4 2006, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION . i have the 2006 toyota rav4 base model with an automatic transmission. i have noticed that the transmission is very sluggish to respond to braking, such that the engine sometimes continues to rev forward for a second or two even after the brake pedal is depressed. this leads to excessive braking distances. i believe this problem is the cause of an automobile accident that we suffered on 8/5/06. in dense highway traffic, i was about 20 feet behind an older toyota pathfinder and had just accelerated from about 15 mph to about 25 mph, as the distance between the vehicles was growing. then the pathfinder in front of me suddenly slammed on his/her brakes because another vehicle swerved directly in front of it. i slammed on my brakes too, but the rav4 did not immediately begin to slow. instead, i could feel the engine still pushing the car forward. the rav4 finally did begin to slow down right about the same time the pathfinder came to a complete stop. as a result, we hit the now-stationary pathfinder in front of us at a speed of about 5 mph. fortunately, no one was hurt, but the front end of the rav4 was mashed in. i have driven dozens of different vehicles over nearly 20 years of driving experience, and i think every other one would have come to a complete stop well before the point of impact (as did the pathfinder in front of me, despite a vehicle cutting directly in front of it). this leads me to suspect there must be something wrong with the rav4 transmission. the transmission should immediately disengage from drive whenever the brake is depressed, but there seems to be a dangerous time lag. when i took the vehicle to the dealership and explained what happened, they road-tested and examined the vehicle and said nothing was wrong. they claimed what i experienced was the vehicle down-shifting, which results in higher rpms but less forward motion. i don't buy it. i have tried jamming on the brakes to cause such downshifting and it doesn't happen. *jb.Vehicle was involved in a crash. 0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):JTMZD33V966.

TOYOTA RAV4 2006 car safety problem was reported on Jan 12, 2007.TOYOTA RAV4 2006, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with STEERING:RACK AND PINION . in june 2006, i purchased a new 2006 toyota rav 4 sport. great vehicle. i drive 100 miles a day round trip to work. as of 1/12/07, there are 15,725 miles on the vehicle. around 12,500 miles, i noticed a strange grinding noise coming from the steering when making a hard right or left turn (turning into a parking place or my driveway). i talked with the toyota dealer and the first attempt was to heavily lubricate the steering as i was told everything was dry. the car had been serviced for an oil and lube every 4,000 miles. this did not resolve the issue. i was told that i needed a new rack and pinion steering unit. the dealer forgot to order the part. after a week and a half, i called to find out that the part was on back order as there have been a number of problems with the vehicle's steering. when i asked if i was safe driving 100 miles a day, at speeds of 70 mph on the florida turnpike, i was told to drive the vehicle at a safe speed of 40 mph. (i informed the dealer that i would be killed on the florida roads if i drove that slow. - they agreed.) again, i asked if i was safe. then i was told that although the part was on backorder, that they would see what they could do. i was called within an hour and told that the part would be in within a week. the new rack and pinion unit and gears were installed yesterday. additionally, a recommended wheel alignment was done, and it feels as if the front brakes were adjusted. the vehicle feels good, but the crunching noise is still there. does toyota have a problem with the steering on these vehicles? if so, i am really disappointed. i traded my chrysler for the toyota so that i would not have to go to the dealer for service all of the time. the real question is: am i safe????? *nm.Mileage was 12500 miles.

TOYOTA RAV4 2006 car safety problem was reported on Aug 07, 2007.TOYOTA RAV4 2006, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES . when i use the automatic lock opener and unlock the front driver's side door or click twice to unlock all doors in the vehicle, within a minute, automatically locks all doors again. knowing that i could easily get locked out, i called a toyota salesperson to ask why it was happening or what i could do to fix it. he didn't know and suggested bringing the vehicle in for service. out of town this past saturday evening, i was loading the back of my vehicle and set my keys down inside. when i heard the clicking noise of all the locks locking, i reminded myself to get the vehicle in for service. a moment later, i received a phone call, and distracted, shut the back door. even though i had unlocked all doors moments ago, the vehicle automatically re-locked all doors even with the back door open. i called toyota's roadside assistance. to my surprise, i was told that lockouts are not a covered service. i took my vehicle in for service august 7th. at first, the service advisor agreed that the locks should not be working the way they are and said that he would get the problem fixed. after waiting two hours, he said that the locks are working correctly, and the way they were designed to work. this is a safety issue. for example, when i was locked out, i was close to having put a two year old in the vehicle with the temperature near 100 degrees. the only time i want the locks to lock automatically is after i've started the vehicle and am driving. this is not a safety feature included with the rav 4. i was not satisfied with the dealer response, and i would like this problem resolved. if the locks truly are designed to lock automatically within 30 seconds to one minute, whether a door is open or not, i would like toyota to provide an explanation of the benefit of this design. (i don?t know why anyone would want this feature.) thanks for your assistance. *tr .Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):JTMZD31V665. Toyota Rav4 2006 problem was reported in BLUFFTON, SC.

TOYOTA RAV4 2006 car safety problem was reported on Jan 22, 2009.TOYOTA RAV4 2006, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with STEERING . at around the beginning of the year, the steering column started knocking when turned left or right at low speeds. i brought it to a dealer and they seemed to be able to fix the problem by tightening something down in the steering assembly, but later the problem came back. i have since discovered that there are many consumer complaints about this problem, and the issue is addressed in toyota technical service bulletin# st001-08. i brought the car into another dealer to be looked at today (5/22/09), and they informed me of the problem, which is a defective intermediate shaft assembly. because the vehicle was out of its standard warranty, they would not fix the problem without charge, which they said was around $800 parts & labor. when i asked if it was possible if the shaft could fail completely at a later time, they said they didn't know. as the noises seem to be getting louder as time goes on, it indicates to me that the shaft interlocks are wearing out and there is a real possibility of failure down the line. with that said, i feel that this is a safety issue and the possibility of a recall should be considered. *tr.Mileage was 42000 miles.

TOYOTA RAV4 2006 car safety problem was reported on May 31, 2009.TOYOTA RAV4 2006, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE . sluggish throttle response in 2006 4 cyl rav4. since we owned our new 2006 rav4 we have notice a very sluggish throttle response when stepping on the gas to accelerate either from a stop or when we try to increase speeds. the delay can be up to a couple seconds before the engine revs up and accelerates. this appears to be a dangerous issue when pulling out into traffic and may cause us getting hit because the car cannot get out of its own way. i had thought it may have been a carburetor thing or clogged filter ¿ but there are many message boards online where similar complaints are being expressed. this appears to be an issue either with this engine and/or this model. i hope your agency would look into it. *tr.Toyota Rav4 2006 problem was reported in SANDY HOOK, CT.

TOYOTA RAV4 2006 car safety problem was reported on Aug 20, 2009.TOYOTA RAV4 2006, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING . email to toyota i have been generally very happy with my 2006 rav4 (6 cyl, 62k miles) but this past thursday i had a real scare. i was driving home from a meeting about 15 miles away via interstate. when i started my car leaving the meeting, my oil pressure light blinked on then went off. although it was unusual, i did not do anything about it thinking i would check my oil when i got home. midway home, i began to hear some strange noises coming from the engine compartment. since it was fairly hot, i thought it might be the fan and shut down the ac and turned off the radio to listen. the engine continued to make strange noises. after stopping at the end of the exit ramp near home i accelerated onto the side street and the noise became very loud. i drove slowly the last 1/2 mile home. when i got home, i opened the hood and found oil all over the engine compartment. there was no oil reading on the dipstick. note that the oil pressure light never came on. i added the only quart of oil that i had at home and drove slowly to my mechanic about a mile away. when they looked at the car the next morning, they said there was little or no oil in the engine. a rubber hose that ran from the valve cover to the oil pump reservoir had split and pumped out all the oil. they said that although the hose had some metal shielding, the heat had deteriorated the rubber causing the split. they were able to replace the part and clean my engine compartment for $600. i just drove it about 300 miles today and after a few miles of driving, the engine returned to its normal sound so i am hoping that there was no long term damage. my concern is that i had just returned from a 2000 mile trip to canada and if that had happened during an extended road trip, my engine would be toast. my mechanic said that he was not aware of this issue even though he has the same engine in his 2008 toyota. there is nothing i could find in my owner's manual telling me that i had to have this hose checked. *tr.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):JTMBK31V565.

TOYOTA RAV4 2006 car safety problem was reported on Oct 10, 2009.TOYOTA RAV4 2006, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE . this past weekend we had just driven our 2006 rav4 with a v6 engine over 150 interstate miles and pulled over for a rest stop. we smelled oil on exiting the vehicle and when we opened the hood we found that there was oil spraying on the passenger rear side of the engine. on checking the dipstick we found that it showed no oil. no warning light had come on and the engine had not made any unusual sounds. since we were close to our destination we added 3 quarts of oil and made it another 30 miles to the end of our trip. upon arrival i checked the dipstick and found again that it showed no oil. i contacted a local dealer and made arrangements to have it towed for repair. the dealer examined the vehicle and found that an oil line supplying the valve head had broken and that he had the part to repair the vehicle. when i asked if this was a common occurrence, the service manager (this is a small dealership) said that he stocked parts if he had 3 or more incidents in 12 months that required such a part. we are fortunate that we did not have major engine damage or have a fire and the dealership was very accommodating. the towing and repairs cost us $500. in doing an internet search, both on this site and in other locations, it appears that this is a problem occurring in any of their lines (avalon, camry , rav 4, etc).with the v6 engines and that toyota knows about it and that they have modified the oil line for newer models. *tr.Mileage was 73400 miles.

TOYOTA RAV4 2006 car safety problem was reported on Sept 16, 2009.TOYOTA RAV4 2006, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with STEERING . sept. 2009 my wife complained to me that there was a knocking noise that she could feel through the steering wheel when she turned the steering wheel left or right at slow speeds. it got louder and more pronounced over the last 30 days. i researched this online and found that there were many similar complaints. i then located toyota's tsb st001-08 dated 2/8/08 "steering intermediate shaft noise" which perfectly describes the steering noise i have been experiencing. while i have only 21k miles on the rav4, my 36 months ran out 3 months ago. the nearby toyota dealership told me that they were quite aware of the situation but basically, yet politely said, "too bad, out of warranty." considering this complaint seems to be a quite widespread issue, and one that involves the steering and control of the vehicle, i would argue that this rises to the level of a serious public safety concern and should merit a safety recall. toyota can not guarantee that this steering noise will not deteriorate into a "loss of control" issue. *tr.Mileage was 21300 miles.

TOYOTA RAV4 2006 car safety problem was reported on Apr 08, 2010.TOYOTA RAV4 2006, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES . i was locked out of my vehicle by the automatic locking system with my dog in the front seat on a hot south carolina day with all windows up. the locks on all 4 doors and the back door locked even though i had the key in the ignition. i complained about the locking system the first time i unexpectedly got locked out in 2007. i spent most of the day driving home to get a spare key and back again to the car's location. at that time, toyota customer relations responded with the same arrogance the company has demonstrated regarding the acceleration issue. they told me "that's how the locks are designed" (even though no one could explain the benefit) and they told me the locks will not automatically lock if the key is in the ignition. this is a safety issue since pets and small children can be inadvertently locked inside of a suffocating hot vehicle. this would result in property damage if the owner has to break a window. fortunately, in this instance, i was able to locate a spare key before my dog died. if i were a manufacturer, i would want to know about any design flaw to be able to fix it. toyota, however, responded in an overconfident way, accepting no responsibility. events leading up to most recent incident: a friend and i drove to a dump less than a mile from my home. we got out of the vehicle, opened the back door and began to unload the trash. my small dog was in the front seat, and the key was in the ignition. when finished unloading, i shut the back door and went to open the driver's side door. it was locked. my friend attempted to open the passenger side door and it was locked. all doors were locked, the key was in the ignition, and my dog started panting. when i called to report this most recent incident, customer relations suggested i take the car in for service at a local dealer at my own expense. unacceptable. nhtsa: please do your job on this. thanks. the consumer wants to withdraw his complaint. updated ivoq 06/02/10.Mileage was 54000 miles.

TOYOTA RAV4 2006 car safety problem was reported on June 14, 2007.TOYOTA RAV4 2006, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . i bought my brand new toyota rav 4 in august 2006. i use it very lightly mostly to commute to work which is about 10 miles. about 9 month later, i heard a squeaking noise when i hit the brakes. when i took my car to the dealer. i was told the front brakes need to be changed. i argued that the brakes have to be defective since with my previous car i changed the brakes once in 16 years. the dealer argued that i have to be an aggressive driver that why i wore the brakes so fast and that it is not covered by warranty. this problem was repeated twice after that. this means that in less than 4 years. i changed the front brake pads twice and the rear brake pads once. i found this extremely unusual. so far i have spent almost $1000 to repeatedly change brake pads and rotors. recently i believe i found the problem. when i press the gas pedal the car speeds very easily and very fast. however, when i release my foot off the gas pedal the car does not slow down spontaneously. the gas pedal takes an unusually long time to go to the idle position. hence, i have to use the brakes much more frequently which wears them out very fast. this is a safety issue and needs to be addressed and fixed. i am going to the dealer tomorrow. *tr.Mileage was 7000 miles.

TOYOTA RAV4 2006 car safety problem was reported on July 20, 2010.TOYOTA RAV4 2006, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with STEERING . on july 20th of 2010 i took my 2006 rav 4 to a toyota dealership in st. augustine fl concerning a noise in the steering when i made a turn. concerns i have this with experience include toyota states they have a smart team to quickly react to customers. i took my rav into the dealership at 1pm on the 20th and at 5 pm they let me know they would need to keep my rav overnight because they were unable to find the problem. the next day they were able to find intermediate shaft internal failure. i was lucky enough to have purchased the extended warranty however these 2 days of faulty product cost me $262.52 when i had only a$50.00 deductible. i was told i would split the cost of the rental car as the coverage only covered a rental if the repair took over 6 hours. it took over 6 hours to even find the problem even with the smart team. i also had to pay to have the 4 wheel alignment as i was told it needed to be done and was not covered under the steering repair. in my experience if something needs to be done as part of the repair it should be included in the cost. a doctor is not allowed to charge extra to stitch you back up after opening you for a surgery. is this steering shaft internal failure the same issue i came home to wy and saw on the news? if so should this not be covered as part of the recall ~ ~ (tuesday, july 20, 2010--a federal grand jury in new york asked toyota motor corp. to submit documents related to problems with the steering relay rods in toyota 4runners (1990-1995), pickups (1989-1995) and t100 trucks (1993-1998). the subpoenas, mailed to toyota's u.s. subsidiaries on june 29, come shortly after a national highway traffic safety administration (nhtsa) investigation into whether toyota notified the agency of a steering rod defect in a timely fashion, as required by law.) *tr .Mileage was 55538 miles.

TOYOTA RAV4 2006 car safety problem was reported on Apr 01, 2009.TOYOTA RAV4 2006, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with STEERING . we hear a continuous popping/clunking noise from our 2006 toyota rav4 when turning the steering wheel to the right or to the left. when this happens, a slight increase of the force is required to turn the steering wheel. this problem is well documented in toyota t-sb-0318-08: "some customers may hear a clunk, pop, or knock-type noise when turning the steering wheel left or right. a new intermediate shaft has been developed to address this condition." it shows that toyota originally used defective intermediate shafts. "warranty application is limited to correction of a problem based upon a customer¿s specific complaint." toyota will do nothing about the defective intermediate shaft if customer doesn't complain. the noise is caused by "shaft excessive play" according to toyota. it may not cause audible noise in early stages so a customer can't hear it. toyota can continue to ignore the defect until this condition aggravates to a certain point. is it a safety concern that excessive shaft play may eventually lead to full or partial loss of steering? we have filed complain through bbb to toyota but they decided to do nothing about it. *tr.Mileage was 27000 miles.

(he is now probably unemployed) dealer replaced (at their cost) the steering shaft, part #45260-42090. in august 2010, approx 70k miles; vehicle was returned to dealer for state inspection with, again, complaint of "clunk" noise in steering mechanism at low speed. the state inspection was completed; dealer found no fault with the steering mechanism. on 09/28/10; 72k miles, vehicle returned to dealer for replacement of faulty door latch and complaint saa. "clunk" dealer replaced steering shaft, part #45221-42070 *the two parts are both part of the steering column; but are not the same component the first shaft replaced was a "lower shaft" the part replaced on 09/28 is the "intermediate shaft" although toyota has issued "service bulletins"concerning steering column shaft failures; the company refuses to acknowledge that there is an existing design flaw an internet "google" search for clunking noises in the 2006 rav4 retrieves many similar complaints. (not exactly evidence i would want to walk into a courtroom with) i suggest that the only reason there have not been a rash of steering related accidents is that the consumer can identify the noise and correct the defect prior to a catastrophic failure. i am certain that a review of vehicle repair histories of this vehicle will reveal an alarmingly high incidence of failure for the steering column. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 32000 miles.

Toyota Rav4 2006 Steering Review #10359941

TOYOTA RAV4 2006 car safety problem was reported on Oct 01, 2007.TOYOTA RAV4 2006, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with STEERING . this defect is with regard to my 2006 toyota rav4. turning the steering wheel at low speed causes multiple loud clunking sounds, and the steering wheel vibrates along with clunk. it's almost like a ratcheting behavior on the shaft connecting the steering wheel to the steering mechanism. this defect began at approximately 40,000 miles. the car has 83,000 miles and the clunking is becoming more pronounced. there is at least one toyota technical bulletin on the defect: #st001-08. it describes a new series of parts redesigned to correct the issue. when i brought car to dealer for repair, they said parts are on backorder and toyota isn't offering a recall or assistance in covering the cost of the repair. as it requires redesigned parts, is a prevalent defect, and directly involves the steering integrity of the vehicle, i would contend that toyota should recall the affected cars and replace these defective parts without charge and without delay. *tr.Mileage was 40000 miles.

TOYOTA RAV4 2006 car safety problem was reported on Feb 16, 2011.TOYOTA RAV4 2006, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE . last night while driving with my young daughter on a lonely highway with no cell service, my 2006 toyota rav 4 v6 limited started making a noise. i immediately checked my dash and no lights were on, pressures okay. the noise stopped and i kept driving. about twelve miles from home the noise started again and my daughter noticed. i looked down and my oil pressure light flashed on and right back off. we barely made it to our house. when i got out and looked under the car, oil was everywhere. it had ran all the way to the back of the car. when i pulled the dip stick there was no oil on the stick. my husband checked it today and found a hole in a rubber hose. i went on-line and have read hundreds of similar stories. supposedly, toyota was to send out a letter in october 2009 to all 2006 rav owners. well, i never received a letter and i've been the one and only owner at the same address. so, it's not like i couldn't be found. now my husband is trying to find the replacement part for the vvti- oil hose, that is now called a 'pipe'. i want to know why this wasn't considered a recall issue instead of a limited service campaign? that oil had spewed all over and under the hot engine onto the manifold. there was nothing keeping it from catching fire which could have taken both our lives. if i had received the letter (a year and a half ago) the hose could have been replaced. now, i'm looking at repair costs that could include a new engine. at this point, we don't know how much damage was done. my car is paid for and i don't have the funds to buy a new car or have the engine replaced. i want to know with all of the other toyota issues in the last several years, why this wasn't addressed? my husband just called a local dealer to get the replacement part. he said the warehouse has over 250 in stock! which tells them that this is no isolated issue. he said that the part number has changed about four times, which means toyota knows there is a safety issue. *tr.Mileage was 103002 miles.

TOYOTA RAV4 2006 car safety problem was reported on June 21, 2011.TOYOTA RAV4 2006, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with STEERING . 2006 toyota rav 4 - steering - i have presented my vehicle for inspection at a local toyota dealer service company last week on tuesday, july 5th, 2011 for a noticeable "clunking" sound coming from the steering column and front end. the service manager scheduled a 2nd visit for my vehicle on july 7th, in order for a service mechanic to test drive the car. he first told me that the unit would need to be "opened" and re-packed with grease to make the noise go away (without batting an eye). on the second service visit july 7th, the mechanic said the unit would require a rebuilding with at least $ 400.00 of parts. this is the case after i brought the vehicle in with 43k original miles on it. after i had a third party look at the same issue, they said that it did not present a danger, however, new tires and a front end alignment were suggested to see whether any improvement would be noticeable.. afterwards, i started my investigation of this matter, whereby, i now know that hundreds of cases have been previously reported, and, the manufacturer, toyota, has "passed the buck" on the blame and repair, charging as much as $ 1,200 for the steering on the 2006 rav 4 model to be repaired. sounds like a "scam" to me. just because no one has gotten hurt yet, doesn't mean there isn't a problem here. cars are controlled through the ability to "steer" the vehicle. in october 1976, i survived an accident in my brand new ford granada, when the "suspension arm" nut was sheered off when taking a curve on a local road with the vehicle at 20-25 mph. three people walked away from an accident that took out the whole front bumper, back to the driver's side door. as the car was repaired, ford motor corp. gathered all of the accident photos from the body shop, preventing disclosure of a potential problem (back before the "lemon laws" were put in place). do not let this problem slip away. the lives of owner / operators + passengers are at stake ! *tr.Mileage was 42900 miles.

TOYOTA RAV4 2006 car safety problem was reported on Jan 08, 2012.TOYOTA RAV4 2006, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING . we were on the road (on a family vacation). the day that we were coming back the check engine light, the vsc light and the slip warning light came on as we were pulling out of the hotel parking lot. on the way to the dealer, i also felt like the car was misfiring. the dealer found "multiple codes p0304, p0305, p0306, p0356, p1578, c1201. #6 coil malfunctioning. recommend replace #6 coil pack and recheck. possible that other coil may fail from the result of #6 coil failing." #6 coil pack was replaced and the rav4 has been running fine since. the dealer also said that "typically after one coil goes the others follow shortly after", so i will keep an eye open for that. it is strange since ignition coils have a long life expectancy. i checked on-line and there seems to be a high failure rate with coil pack part # 90919-02251, which is the original part that came with the car. i made sure the part was replaced with the latest revision (90919-a2007) of the new part numbers (90919-a2002, 90919-a2004 or 90919-a2007) that toyota changed to. it is also interesting that most of the failures happen with #6, #4 and #5 coils (in that order). the failures seem to concentrate around the right front corner, which is close to the radiator (hot fluid) exit. maybe that is why the later revision part # coil packs have a double metallic screen outside the plastic housing, to protect the assembly. *tr.Mileage was 61000 miles.

TOYOTA RAV4 2006 car safety problem was reported on Oct 15, 2011.TOYOTA RAV4 2006, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with STEERING . purchased a 2006 rav4 sport 4wd v6 back in the summer of 2006 and the car was doing great up until last year (2011) when i noticed the steering wheel starting making this strange clicking noise. i brought the car in back in october of 2011 and they told me it was the rack and pinion making the noise and that over time i could possibly lose steering. they told me it would cost over $2,000 to fix. i asked if i could just drive it until the problem worsened and they seemed to say that was probably ok that it would cost the same to fix so i let it go. fast forward about 6-8 months (april 2012) and now my car is making a knocking noise when i turn right (as described by almost everyone else on the web with this problem). i brought it back in again and they told me it was the same issue and there was a service bulletin put out for this exact problem. they told me it would still cost the same price to fix and i thought that was insane how toyota knew about this problem with so many others and refuse to fix it. it sounds like this is a faulty part on all rav4's around 2006-2007 (maybe more?). most companies will realize they used a faulty part to make a product and replace it free of charge to keep the customer happy. that is not the case here. i called toyota's national customer service phone line and spoke to a nasty person who spoke very condescendingly to me. he kept trying to avoid the issue at hand and eventually just said there was nothing he could do because my car was out of warranty. he filed the complaint with the rest of everyone else and went on his way. i am pretty saddened by this since the automotive industry just went through a painful time how can they turn around and act like this to loyal customers? *tr.Mileage was 70000 miles.

(i had asked this question several times over the years and they always told me that i never needed to change the trans oil & the manual does not list it either). they took it for a drive and checked it good-said that 1st gear was going, but it was fine to drive-come back when i couldn't stand the noise and they'd put in a new trans for $4,500. i was going out of town, they said ok, car will be fine. since the rumble was so loud, 3 days later i got a second opinion at a transmission specialist's shop recommended to me by several friends. they put it up on a rack and tested it with a stethoscope type device. they said that the bearing was very bad and that i should not take the car out of town or drive it as it was not safe to drive and could stop at any time. they replaced m,w/s, u240/24e 00-up (cork); filter; bushing, a40 series pump; tc, rav4, med stall, ink 14; center gear bearing, etc. when the toyota technician checked the trans oil, i realized that it was not "a closed system"! also, the oil was black and i now know that it should be red. i think i should have been changing the trans oil all along and my transmission probably would not have failed. i think they should order a recall on all these transmissions - and pay for the work that i had to have done before my car failed on a freeway somewhere. a transmission should last forever, especially since half of the miles have been freeway miles and i drive my car very gently. i just put in new brake pads for the first time recently and there was still 20-30% left on them. previously i had to pay toyota $400 to repair the steering column-another defect that should be a recall. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 107000 miles.

TOYOTA RAV4 2006 car safety problem was reported on Sept 02, 2012.TOYOTA RAV4 2006, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with SUSPENSION . performing a three-point turn on an uneven, rocky surface. heard a loud clang/pop from the rear of the car. thought a rock was kicked up or it might have been suspension related. was informed by dealer at previous oil change that i was in need of replacing passenger rear shock absorber as it was leaking badly. i had figured that the failed shock absorber had finally given in and had created the noise. i went ahead and scheduled an appointment for service that same week and had an oil change done and had both rear shock absorbers replaced. peeked underneath the car when i got home to see new the new shiny (not oily) shocks and noticed that the bolt connecting the anti sway or stabilizer bar to the lower suspension arm had sheared off on the driver's side. the bottom half of the bolt, the bushing, washer and nut were missing. the passenger side was complete and intact. the failure of this critical piece of suspension had obviously created the noise i heard. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 56100 miles.

TOYOTA RAV4 2006 car safety problem was reported on Dec 16, 2008.TOYOTA RAV4 2006, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with STEERING . a noise came from steering wheel. this had been going on for sometime. toyota replaced r&r steering intermediate shaft. eventually steering wheel airbag had to be replaced due to severance of the spiral cable. no doubt these were related. unknown to me at the time of the repair toyota issued a technical service bulletin on 2-8-08 covering this issue. they refused to reimburse me for the repair. the defective part started to fail from the day i bought the car. both of the issues are safety related items. waiting for the steering to fail would be absurd. a look at the internet shows this was a widespread problem for this model year of the rav4. please issue a safety recall for the steering wheel problems for the 2006 rav4. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 46499 miles.

TOYOTA RAV4 2006 car safety problem was reported on May 06, 2013.TOYOTA RAV4 2006, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with ENGINE . driving car and the oil light failed to indicate oil was very low. heard a knocking noise so i checked the oil and discovered the oil was low although oil had just been added a few days earlier. i was not sure if the vechicle was fit to drive, so for safety reasons i had the car towed to my mechanic. the mechanic checked out the car and said the engine was damaged due to the lack of oil and constant burning of oil due to a defect in the toyota rav 4 engine/oil system which causes the oil to combuse and burn off preventing the oil indicator light to alert the driver to add oil. this defect causes engines to seize. at this time i called toyota of north america (1800 331-4331) directly to report this issue. i was told that as of today no recall or reimbursement is being issued but if everyone with this problem call toyota of north america directly to report their problem then an investigation will be issued. so please call today so we may all be reimbursed from toyota for this issue that they are well aware of and are choosing to do nothing for the consumers. they will then give you a case # that they tell you to keep just in case a recall is activated. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 133000 miles.

TOYOTA RAV4 2006 car safety problem was reported on Aug 27, 2013.TOYOTA RAV4 2006, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with ENGINE . this is my story: my wife, yorkie, and i went to pick up my son at preschool early this afternoon in weston, fl when all of the sudden we hear a brief whine noise followed by the check engine and oil lights on the panel; the engine shut itself off. i was able to pull to the side of the road but the car was difficult to drive. i cranked the engine on again and was able to drive for another 100 yards. the same whine noise followed by the same lights and engine shut off. afterwards, the engine would turn on and it immediately would shut off; not a chance to engage to drive and move an inch. i looked at the engine compartment and there was nothing unusual; the oil level was fine (the car has never had a leak and has been properly maintained), no funny smells, etc. by this time we were sweating and getting concerned. i thought it could be that the a/c could be part of the problem since it adds load to the engine serpentine belt; i turned off the a/c by depressing the a/c button on car's dash and the engine stayed on. i was able to drive the car and pick up my son thankfully. i was ready to send my wife on a cab to get him. my questions to you guys are the following: why would toyota design the engine to shut itself off in a situation when something in the a/c fails? if my wife would have been in the highway with my son and had the engine shut off, she would have completely freaked out and god forbid in an accident. all i can think of is that toyota implemented a mechanism to kill the engine if the load in the serpentine belt is excessive. yes, good to prevent engine damage, but i value my family's and my life more. the engine should not shut off... that is why you have warning lights and other safety mechanisms. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 85000 miles.

TOYOTA RAV4 2006 car safety problem was reported on Aug 01, 2013.TOYOTA RAV4 2006, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with AIR BAGS . the airbag warning light began staying on after engine start. after toyota inspection this was due to a failed clock spring/spiral wire in the steering wheel that controls the airbag and other steering wheel electrical controls. further online investigation showed this to be a common fault with toyota vehicles especially rav4's of 2006/7/8 vintage with in excess of 70,000 miles - this was also confirmed by my toyota dealer. there is a strong probability the driver airbag would fail to deploy in an accident due to the wire shorting out. the diagnosis and fix at a toyota dealer was quoted as $509 which will i am sure prevent many people from fixing this. no independent mechanics i asked would work on the airbag system - they all said it had to be fixed by toyota who then can charge an excessive amount for the work. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 100500 miles.

TOYOTA RAV4 2006 car safety problem was reported on Aug 16, 2013.TOYOTA RAV4 2006, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with POWER TRAIN . i have a 2006 rav4, built in november, 2005. my check engine, vsc and 4wd lights lit up on august 16, 2013. after referring to the manual and following directions yielded no result, i kept driving and went to a toyota dealer the next day. i was advised the transmission in my car had failed and i needed a new one. the transmission had been flushed on 9/18/12 with 59,767 miles on my car, the dealer marked the transmission fluid "good" on 6/17/13 with 65,143 miles and there were only 66,319 when the transmission failed in august, 2013. being stranded out of town for three days allowed me to find numerous complaints about the transmission failing in rav4's with low mileage. there was absolutely no warning that a huge problem and expense was about to occur (which is strange when an alarm bleats, requesting fastening of the seatbelt, when a gallon of milk is put on the passenger seat.) and there is nothing in the manual to even suggest the lights that lit indicate a transmission problem. i have filed case #1310310749 with toyota and await their follow up on promises made. i will happily provide copies of any paperwork, should it be requested. i would ask for the transmission failures to be looked into as well as the total lack of clarity and/or direction in the manual. thank you for your time. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 66319 miles.

TOYOTA RAV4 2006 car safety problem was reported on Oct 02, 2013.TOYOTA RAV4 2006, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with AIR BAGS . the "air bag" light came on last month. i took my car to the toyota dealer and he diagnosed a problem with the cable to the airbag, with a price tag of almost $600 to repair. the danger was that the air bags would likely not deploy in a crash. (my own local mechanic told me that the air bags would definitely not deploy). there are many other reports/complaints of this problem in rav4s in the years of 2006-08. this is a safety issue and there should be a recall of these vehicles by toyota in order to insure the safety of their customers. toyota should provide for this service as it is very expensive and puts lives at stake. toyota has agreed to assist me by paying half the repair fee, for which i'm grateful. however, i continue to believe this is a dangerous defect and should be repaired as a recall. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 82000 miles.

TOYOTA RAV4 2006 car safety problem was reported on Aug 22, 2013.TOYOTA RAV4 2006, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with ENGINE . i own a 2006 rav4. bought it new and have had every oil change and recommended engine service done since that time done at the dealership. a few months ago, i took it in to have my fluids checked before a road trip, and was told that the dipstick showed that i had absolutely no oil! it was almost impossible as i had just had an oil change about 3 weeks prior. i immediately took the car to the dealer and they added some oil and said they would "monitor the oil consumption." i thought maybe a careless mechanic failed to properly fill the reservoir. however, since then, i have had to go back every 1000 miles so they could check the dipstick and add oil, but each time was told that they will continue the monitoring. however, about 2 weeks ago, they called me and told me they had some information for me. i was told that to fix the problem i really need a new engine, as the oil is being used internally by the engine due to a piston assembly design problem per the tsb. i asked if toyota was going to fix the problem for me at it's cost, and they told me that there is no recall because it is not a safety issue. this is an unacceptable answer as this is not a "normal wear and tear" issue, it's a design defect issue. as such, toyota should step up and fix the problems that are obviously being experienced by ( judging from the various blogs i've been viewing) lots of toyota owners who have the same problem. the only option the dealer gave me was that i can have the piston repair work done and have the small block replaced for $3172.00. like i said, i felt toyota should pay for this, not me, as toyota, not i, caused the problem. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 135000 miles.

TOYOTA RAV4 2006 car safety problem was reported on July 31, 2013.TOYOTA RAV4 2006, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with ENGINE . i have always brought in my toyota for regular maintenance to the dealer every 5,000 miles. in july of this year, the oil warning light began to light every time i hit the brakes. my dealer performed an oil consumption check. by november i was advised to have the engine reconstructed and repair the rings and pistons, because the engine was leaking excessive oil. i also had to replace the brakes. the repairs cost over $3500 and took over a week to complete. i recently learned that this model toyota has a record of stuck oil rings causing excessive oil consumption which leads to engine failure. i feel that this should be a recall item. engine failure due to loss of oil can cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle. this is a serious safety issue. i would like to be reimbursed for this manufacturer's defect that toyota is fully aware of. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 81542 miles.

TOYOTA RAV4 2006 car safety problem was reported on Sept 18, 2012.TOYOTA RAV4 2006, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . when backing the car out and turning the steering, there is a clunking noise that occurs. it mostly occurs from a cold start. there is a service bulletin out for this, but the dealer won't cover it. the car started making a popping sound. it was coming from underneath that car and made the exhaust sound really loud. dealership said it was the centerpipe that was connected to the catalytic converter. the material of the centerpipe and catalytic was rusted and the dealership blamed it on me and that i drove the car off roading. i told them that the car has never gone off roading, garaged, and well maintained. other 2006 rav4 owners have cited the same issue stating that the material and craftsmanship of the centerpipe and catalytic converter were of poor quality. the seams of the centerpipe just completely came undone. when speaking with the dealership, they refused to cover it under the emissions warranty. when talking to the environment protection agency for emissions, they said that toyota should cover it. this centerpipe issue became a larger issue when the vehicle misfired and the vsc, check engine, and 4wd lights on. took it to the dealership to discuss what the issue may be. other owners stated that the ignition coils were of poor quality and toyota has issued replacements. talked to the dealership and they refused to replace it under warranty. shortly after, the car seems to be driving very clunky and does not drive as well as usual. the car vibrates and drives very slowly. it sounded like it dropped a cylinder. the engine sounds very clunky. this has happened many times. ignition coils were replaced several times. check engine light, vsc, and 4wd lights turn on solid each of these instances. since then the tire pressure has turned on and gone bad. had to get that replaced. now all 3 lights are back on and will need to find out why. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 38000 miles.

TOYOTA RAV4 2006 car safety problem was reported on Feb 01, 2012.TOYOTA RAV4 2006, manufactured by Toyota Motor Corporation had a problem with POWER TRAIN . our 2006 rav4 creates a growling sound from the rear differential area when driving at 35 to 40 mph. the sound goes away when accelerating above 40 mph. the noise is becoming more pronounced with time. twice the vehicle was taken to a toyota dealership and they were unable to identify the cause. research online located technical service bulletin tsb-0080-13 which discusses symptoms very similar to what our rav is experiencing. a call to the toyota dealership resulted in being informed that deterioration of the rear differential coupling due to contaminated bearing could be the problem, and that estimated cost of repair cost is $1,925. i asked if failure of the coupling could be catastrophic, causing loss of control. the answer was not likely unless driving on slippery surfaces. this vehicle is regularly maintained, and has not been in an accident. it is disappointing that we are looking at an impending failure of the drivetrain. is this a flaw in the engineering/design that went into this vehicle? what else can be done beyond informing others in the interest of their personal safety? *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 85000 miles.
