What Are Some Common Toyota Rav4 Problems?




A faulty oil level sensor, a defective valve guide seal or a coolant leak in the engine causes excessive oil consumption in a Toyota RAV4. A faulty catalytic converter closest to the head of the cylinder or a loose gas cap can cause the check engine light to come on with no apparent reason.

A low transmission fluid level, a oxidized, dirty or overfilled transmission fluid can cause the automatic transmission to fail. Additionally, a malfunctioning electronic control module can cause harsh shifting, making the car jump from gear to gear. Worn out or corroded solenoid contacts in the starter can cause the RAV4 to fail to start.
