 The Rav 4 has had 25 recalls, which should say it all.  I have had to replace both front and rear brakes at only 50k miles.  The sensors went at 25k.  The battery died at 49k.  The front end is so far out of alignment that I must replace tires every 16000 miles or drive on badly, unevenly worn tires.  I have had the car to 3 different alignment shops which verify the car is badly out of alignment.  This is an unfixable problem. Unfortunately it still falls within Toyota's specs.  I guess it is easier to change specs than admit this problem should also have been recalled.  I have also had repeated computer problems.  I feel that this car is unsafe to drive and a money pit.
