“When viewing my 2013 RAV4 from the rear, I noticed that the car seems tilted to the left, in other words the RAV4 sits higher on the right side than the left. I measured from the top of each wheel well to the ground and founds an almost 1 difference between the right side and the left on both the front and rear of the RAV4. The measurement was repeated on 3 different level surfaces with the same results. The RAV4 was returned to the dealer and they agreed. They wrote on the service invoice that this condition is as designed at this time. Also compared to other like vehicles and found same. …”
