Example complaints

“My 2014 RAV4 has a fuel line leak. The service department claims it is due to a mouse and will not fix it under warranty. I think it appears that the line has been scraped rather than chewed. But if it was damaged by a mouse this is also an issue. The fuel line should not be edible by rodents. Way too many automobile parts are being made from edible components. This is a serious safety hazard. I have been warned I should not drive my car - that it could cause a fire. …”

NHTSA complaint #11418136, filed 2021-05“Making a turn onto a local toll road and entire car went dead without warning of any kind. I had to struggle with loss of power steering to complete turn without going off road. Car came to a stop. I tried to call my wife to advise her I was having car problems which is surprising as I haven't had issues previously and had an earlier version of the RAV4 that I drove for 210,000 miles. Anyway, another vehicle stopped alongside and inquired if I needed assistance. As I talked, I noticed a smokey smell from what I had initially assumed was steam. …”
