“Tire pressure light is always lit...even with full tire pressure. Now at 151k miles, the vsc trac, trac off and check engine light are on. Nothing seems to be wrong and bulletin boards show people spending a lot of money at dealership only to have it come on again. I will not go that route, and will try to turn it off as it seems that it is a glitch. Want to report in the hopes that Toyota will fix/recall. I love my RAV4 and want to buy another one when this one is too old to drive, but don't want to have electrical problems.”
NHTSA complaint #10255281, filed 2009-01, 151,100 miles“Tires had to be replaced at 37k because they were dry rotted. I replaced the tires per the tire warranty with the same tires and at 95k miles they are again dry rotted. I recommend that Toyota stop putting toyo tires on its rav4s. I have also had to replace the Toyota issued battery two times in the vehicle and it is only 7 years old.”
