| Description of the problem | When i bought this car the last week of june 2016, my 2016 rav4 sle hybrid center console deck lid slam to close there is no spring to hold the lid in the console so you can close it normally, my grankids (6 and 5 years old) can get hurt if they put their finger, took it to the dealer they say this model doesn't have the spring, this is very dangerous for the kids if they open the lid and let it go could easily break their fingers,it does not close like a regular other car lid, mechanics checked and show me the difference between my car and another toyota rav4 hybrid limited 2016 that it has the spring but the rav4 sle hybrid 2016 not, so please do something before any child get hurt and that will be very bad they could lose a finger, with the force that the lid closes. |
