Brand	TOYOTA
Model	RAV4
Model Year	2008
File date	26/08/15
Component	UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Premature exhaust system failure before 80,000 miles or 8 years. Tried to resolve this issue with the dealer and toyota corp (case #1508262478 @ 800-331-4331) but they will not replace defective parts. The catalytic converter is connected to an in-line resonator and muffler assembly. The muffler seam has split. My claim to the dealer and toyota corp is the entire system works hand in hand and the way toyota has designed the system it can not be separated from the catalytic converter. The entire system is required to reduce emissions and increase engine performance and therefore covered under the emission warranty. Not sure if it is a design or material defect but something costing over $1,400 to repair is more than a simple muffler replacement that should not fail at 52,000 miles.
