My last car was a 2006 Matrix Never replaced anything but the front brakes.Drove it for 200,000 miles.Standard trans.
Bought a 2007 Rav 4 clean as a whistle. All the service records etc 4 cyl 4 wheel drive with
120000.I have the 40MPH grind noise and it lost 2QT's of oil on the drive from Florida to Maine.Never noticed the grind noise during the test drive.
Both my wife and I like the car.BUT I believe after doing a lot of reading in this forum,they have many problems.Tons of problems.I have two I know about.Sounds to me like these are JUNK.Motors Tranny,s .The Matrix was our first Toyota and I guess I figured they were all good.I guess my question is ,Should I just get rid of it.I don't see many I got 200,000 and never had a problem posts..The Toyota dealer is 90 miles away.They are going to check my growling noise next week .Then have to go back for repair If they find anything.Then I guess i'll have to get oil run down thingy. Sounds like these babies have about a 100,000 miles or less lifespan.
I,m 64 and know a bit about cars Do my own work on them after warranty.
Don't get me wrong We love the car But you can't polish a turd
