| Description of the problem | I purchased the 2004 rav4 the last week of november 2003. - after my 1st initial oil change, i noticed after getting my car back from the service department that all of my panel lights were on. I. E., tire gauge, vcs, trac off, maint req., & check engine light.. I took my car back to the dealership the day after hoping it would just turn off during the day & they said that i needed to reset my car. Like i'm suppose to know this & why does my car have to be reset if its brand new? - after the second oil change everything was okay, and now i'm up to my 3rd oil change and the same thing has happened all over again a few days after i went on a trip.. This time the lights keep coming back over and over.. I took it back to the dealership, only to be told that my air fuel ratio sensor had blew & that i needed to leave it.. The dealership kept my car there all day when they said it would only take 3 hours.. I had to finally call and ask what the problem was, and come to find out, that they ordered the wrong part.. So now i have to wait an extra 2 weeks for the part to arrive. Why am i having problems like this and my car isn't even a year old yet? - *ak |
