| Description of the problem | Bought the car brand new in jan/2018. In march/2019, 18,000 miles, brakes were making loud noises. At first toyota said it was normal, just moisture. Month later i insisted bc it got worse, so finally the mechanic at toyota drove my car and agreed. They changed the rotors and pads, no charge (after some argues). Now car is 35,000 miles (after 17,000 miles), brakes are making noises again. Took at toyota and at that time i had to pay. That's ridiculous! They say you should change pads between 35,000 and 70,000 miles. Rav4 has problems with the brakes for sure! |
