    My wife just replaced her 2008 Matrix with a 2008 Rav4, Limited. Never driven one before so I joined this group. The rewards have been piling in since. I sent the car to the garage 2 days ago for a shake down despite my 12 and 11 year olds being up in arms over my delaying them from luxuriating...
  3. 4.5 RAV4 Hybrid (except Prime)
    Looking to hear from RAV4 Hybrid owners who have NOT applied Krown, Corrosion Free, Fluid Film, etc., and who live in an area with snowy/salt-road winters: 1. How old is your RAV4 Hybrid now? 2. How much, if any, rust is on the underbody (or other areas) of your "unprotected" vehicle? 3. How...
  4. 4.5 RAV4 Hybrid (except Prime)
    I'm about to take ownership of a used 2019 RAV4 Hybrid and have been considering applying Krown once the dryer weather comes. However, some owners or dealers say that RAV4 Hybrids should not be sprayed with rust inhibitor, while others say that it's a good thing to do. I live in an area that...

    Hey all, I got under my families' RAV4 today and saw a decent amount of rust on what I believe is the rocker panel. How much of an issues is this? Should I take it to a body shop? We really cannot afford another car at the moment and we adore our RAV4, but I don't want to have a car that is...

    Hello Rav4 World, My Rav4 has 148k miles and I've had it for about 3.5 years. I do live in the midwest with lots of salt in the winter, but not enough to rust a 12"x2" + long hole in my frame in that amount of time. Bought for around $10,500, almost done paying it off. I did notice the...

    My 2006 Toyota Rav4 has frame rust drivers and passenger side. The car is in good shape otherwise and had I put some money into it 2020 during covid as other options were more expensive. The car is not used daily, and sits in heared indoor garage, in Quebec. I understand that the repairs are...
  8. 4.1 Faults & Fixes
    Good morning! Today, I looked under my car and saw a broken strap hanging from my exhaust. It seems to have rusted out. After pulling on it, I found it was loose and it slid right off. I'm sure I'm not calling this the right name for it to come up on the search results on the forum. What...

    Once upon a time, years ago, some idiot decided to jack up the car at the wrong lift point (no comment, the idiot lifts by the correct lift points in the center of the car now). I have ignored the issue for years, but now there is a crack in the paint whereas it use to be just bubbling. Don't...

    Hi all! Very new to this forum, looking into purchasing a RHD 95-96 RAV4. Found one for $9k at 71k miles imported from Japan. Minimal rust in the undercarriage and seems to be taken care of. May have been sitting at the dealer for 90+ days. I've attached images of the rust for reference. I will...
  11. 4.2 Faults & Fixes
    I just bought a rav4 today that I felt a clunk when going over bumps. I asked them what it was and they (hyundai dealership) definitively said it was the sway bar link on the right side. Since they gave me a good deal, I said I'd do the fixing myself. After further inspection, I found this cv...

    I have a 2009 rav4 with 270,000 on the body. Got a quote to replace for 1600$ Is that a fair price? Also would be it be something I should worry about? That car has a newly rebuilt transmission, 2012 2.5l motor with 120,000 miles and transfer case from that same 2012 model. If it’s worth fixing...

    I was replacing front end links on my 2009 rav4 and discovered a section of rotten frame while trying to jack up the driver side of the car. The rot is right under my driver side door. Is this able to be fixed? What would a frame shop do to fix it?The car runs great and I just bought it for...

    Water leak due to run-off issue. Gutter and weep holes clogged with debris missing guides. At the dealer they neglected to replace nylon retainers (like rivets) securing a replacement cowl cover shield (under wiper arms and under hood) leaving a gap in water guide -along bottom, edges of...

    Recently traded my dying 20 year old Accord in for a 2018 Rav4 XLE with 22,000 miles. It was raining when I was at the dealership so I missed some of the rust underneath. Was in the process of spraying Amsoil MPHD corrosion prevention on the under side when I noticed the extent of the rust...
  17. 4.5 RAV4 Hybrid (except Prime)
    Hello, I have 2019 Rav4 Hybrid Limited. I understand that Toyota offers perforation warranty for 5 years. But it does not include the general rust protection. Being based in Quebec, my car would be exposed to lot of snow and salt on roads. So i am thinking to get the rust proofing done. Any...
