What owners wrote
Hit a car in front of me and wreck the front right corner of the rav4 and no air bags went off. And my ins company total the rav4 and don't know what happen to the other car.
Vehicle exhibited a clunk and ratchet sound from rear of car when driving over small bumps. Problem was reported to dealer in january 2010. While the noise was replicated, they were unable to find the source of the problem. I was assured that the suspension components were in good condition. A local mechanic was also consulted who could not pinpoint the source of the suspension noise. Approximately one year later I was driving down the road and I lost control of the vehicle.
