At low RPM the accelerator and/or the transmission has a noticeable lag. This occurs approx 50 % of the time. Several times it has put me into a dangerous situation when trying to blend into traffic. Most recently I was taking my son to college and was almost hit by a truck on the penn turnpike. I have brought it in twice to the dealer only to be told that a road test showed "normal operation of the accelerator". I recently did a web search and found that Toyota has stopped selling rav 4 with V6 engines in australia for just this problem. In June, while also driving my son to college I had the air conditioner on for about 4 hours of a 11 hour drive. The driver side floor, and to a lesser extent the passenger side floor, flooded. Upon my arrival I dried it out the best I could using hotel towels. A musty smell lasted about a day or two then subsided. Driving back home several days later it rained for most of the trip and again the car flooded. I brought it to the dealer since it was under warranty. They told me that weep vents under the vehicle for the air conditioner and moon roof were clogged thereby directing the water into the vehicle. The cleaned it up as best they could but that the musty smell was stronger now. To get rid of that would require pulling the seats and rugs to properly clean the vehicle and that would cost approx $250. I opted not to do that and drove for the next week with the air conditioner on to dehumidify the car. I checked to owners manual and found no mention of cleaning these weep holes/vents, and it is not part of the dealers maintenance policy to clean them. The owners manual did mention that if the floor was to get wet then there was a safety issue with the side airbag and curtain shield airbag activating correctly (page 379 of owners manual). Water may also get into audio components or other electrical components above or under the floor carpet and cause malfunction and it may cause body corrosion.

The contact owns a 2007 Toyota Rav4. While driving 20 mph the side airbags deployed without warrant. The left portion of her chest was bruised from the deployment. The vehicle was towed to the dealer for inspection. No repairs were made because the dealer was waiting for authorization from Toyota to repair the vehicle. The failure and current mileages were 22000.

Other vehicle making a left turn hit my car at front right bumper and my car caught on fire. Air bags did not deployed either. I think there is some manufacturing defect in my car it should not caught on fire in such a small accident at low speed of 25 mph. Please contact glen ellyn, Illinois police and fire department for their reports. Police report number: 08092403046. Please help me. Luckily other car passing by show my car on fire and shouted to my daughter to get out of the car and she is being saved. Please help me in this matter. Thank god my daughter survived the crash with very little injury.
