2002 Toyota RAV4 L review from North America
"Don't buy a RAV4"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The transmission went out on this car at 107,000 miles. This is a known issue with Toyota and is extremely expensive to fix: $4,000.
Customer service from Toyota and from my local dealer has been horrific, which only compounds this problem.
General comments?
I loved my car until this happened. After reading that many other people have experienced the exact same thing, I know that I'm not alone.
