Description of the problem | Van started having a propane/musty smell inside cabin while driving on highway. Van just had cabin filters replaced and auto shop stated the rear differential and coupler were blown and to get a used part and replace it would be $4300. The van is a 2013 with 86,000 miles on it. The rav-4 has the exact same part under a recall. How different could the parts be in the same company for 2 vehicles like this? It seems like toyota should be issuing a recall for this problem as i just read about 6 other people who had the exact same problem in the last 6 months alone all with vehicles with relatively low mileage. This is a disservice to loyal toyota customers and a huge safety issue to people driving their families in these mini-vans. |
