| Description of the problem | After 3 days i finally got around to looking for the trunk lock - i. E . The key lock feature that disables the trunk release next to the driver. Only there isn't one! How could this be? My recently traded 2003 honda and older honda's i've owned all had this feature - i assumed toyota did too - a detail that didn't loom large when initially reviewing the car because i assumed it had one. So after research and much to my dismay (i returned a perfect 2014 rav4 because i felt "exposed" with items in the interior luggage area) i now find this vehicle also "exposes" me to potential loss because i cannot secure my personal items. I am not the first to comment to this flaw and toyota certainly has had time to correct the issue (2 yrs) but apparently decided not to. Toyota should correct this flaw as soon as possible - the best selling car in america can be a thief's best too. |
