general problems of the 2007 Toyota RAV4

2007 Toyota rav 4. Consumer writes in regards to problems with recall notices for rear suspension and power window switch. The consumer stated did not believe the recall was performed, as he is still experiencing problems with the power window switch. Also, the water pump was replaced.

Drivers side window visor loose and does not stay in position. Falls down into drivers view obstructing vision and distracting driver.

The driver side visor falls down and will not stay up. It keeps falling down obstructing my view.

Passenger side visor flap not staying in upward position (for months now). It is hanging down halfway and faces forward. Yesterday, when breaking, it struck my forehead close to the eyes straight on with its small side. This is a safety issue.

Drivers side sun visor on 2007 Rav4 will not stay in the up position. It stays in a semi-down position where it blocks forward vision and also represents a hazard to the head and eyes when getting into/out of the vehicle.

Just like many other owners of 2007 Rav4 I began experiencing a distinctive klunking noise around 35,000 miles. Took it to the dealer and they said it was normal noise when you turn the wheel all the way to the side. . . . . My problem was that it was making cracking noise all the time, when turning or especially parking the car. . . . Also a problem with my driver visor flap not staying in upward position it was hanging down halfway and faces forward. I had to pay 75 dollars to replace it, warranty would not cover it. Since so many 2007 Toyota Rav4 owner are having the same problems it should be elevated to a recall status!!!.

2007 Toyota rav 4. Consumer writes in regards to the power window master switch assembly recall notice issues. The consumer stated the window would roll up.

The sun visor on the driver' side in my 2007 Toyota Rav4 is drooping down and causing serious visibility problems. This is the second visor, as I had to replace it once about a couple of years after buying the vehicle, and as I remember it was not cheap to replace. Now the replacement is at the same condition and will not stay up. I have been made aware by other Toyota owners that this is a very common problem with the Rav4 and other Toyota vehicles, and I don't understand why Toyota would allow this type of defect to continue in their otherwise reputable vehicles.
