 First, I have been driving toyotas before I was aloud to drive...35 years. I have owned used and new. I had a 2005 rav4 ...great car. Everything about that car...5 stars. I bought a 2009 limited V6 3.5 and it is a nightmare. The suspension recall fix involves an epoxy seal on the links which make the adjustable links...unadjustable. meaning...if the rear is out of alignment. ..you have to pay $500+ to have the recall fix done again. I have never had to do anything other than maintenance to my toyotas. This one...3rd pair of shocks...this time i used monroe shocks. ER brake cable...drive train assembly  ($1400 part). Blower motor...Such a disappointment... I have 150000 miles on the odometer and it runs great. Done with it.After I updated my review I started experience more problems with this car. I had to have the rotors resurfaced again.  Problems with the steering also started to progress. Recalls for the master switch for driver's side window and wiper motor. Toyota stopped making their own parts in 2006...huge mistake. This car became a full time job. I am a car guru and visit dealerships 24/7 chose to get rid of this car before it depreciated any more. I had a hard time finding a dealership that would give me decent money for the trade. The day I traded in the 2009 my 2005 limited (not a v6 and a lot less options) was worth 2000.00 more. I have to say that I am disappointed in the Toyota Corporation. Their business decisions have affected their automobiles. Putting their dealerships in the position of not being able to be honest with customers about their cars has enabled me not to trust Toyota corporation anymore. I was fortunate to be able to put my car up on a rack anytime I needed to check anything. Many people don't have that luxury. I see people driving their cars on the road with the suspension recall and the rear wheels out of toe. ..scary. If I get the opportunity to talk to them most say that they did not know because they had the recall fix done! I take excellent care of my cars...it's a lemon.Since the last time I reviewed this car I look at the rear suspension of other 2009 rav4 cars on the road or parking lots. I have not found one yet that the rear wheels are not out out of toe. I even speak to other owners and inform them about this make and model. This car has a lot of safety issues. Why Toyota thinks it is OK to drive a car around with the rear wheels out of toe is beyond me. I will not own or recommend Toyota to anyone again. ...they have lost a longtime customer and consumer promoting their products.
