| Description of the problem | Muffler & tailpipe and housing on my rav4 are rusting extensively. Had dealer check it out. Recommends i replace my exhaust system. There were holes in my exhaust systems due to rust. Called and complained to toyota headquarters. Unfortunately, they only offer a 3 yr/36,000 mile warranty. Case ref #1203230216. My car is only 5 yrs old!!! My exhaust system can fall off my rav4 on the highway and cause an accident. Who is to blame in such a senario? Toyota motor company for making inferior exhaust systems?
