What owners wrote
The car was lifted up to replace tires and somehow the exhaust system was pushed up and got stuck with the exit inside the bumper leading to a fire and melting the bumper. The car was taken to the car dealer and they explained that the tires place didn't noticed that the exhausted system was stuck up.the bumper was replaced at my own expense.
Air conditioning and heating display on rav-4 limited models with electronic HVAC control is nearly impossible to see during daytime/sunlight conditions, making it dangerous to try to read the display and drive.
