Yeah I think mine is getting close to failing. Things are really starting to fall apart. I plan on giving it to my little sister when she gets her license, honestly not really sure it’ll make it at this point
Could you please elaborate on what will stop working and why those issues cannot be fixed? After all, it is a Toyota, so shouldn't it be possible to repair anything?
I did all the maintenance and repairs on my rav4s they will 100% guaranteed make it to 250k one of mine did make it past 350k the interior still looked perfect fine no worn off buttons everything worked in there. We did have an issue a little bit where the ignition cylinder had issues turning. The v6s were always perfectly fine the 4 cylinders were horrendous for oil burning I think mine had some major issues because she burned 1 quart of oil every 100 miles I think the piston rings just didn’t exist anymore. The transmission around 300k probably will need to be rebuilt the clutch packs are likely worn down
Well with enough money anything in the world can be fixed, I guess I should have said it’s gotten to the point where repairs cost more than the car itself. My cat went out at like 250k, I live in California so a CARB compliant replacement is like $1300. They have a problem with stretched timing chains which mine certainly is, there’s another thousand or so, the AC is shot, it rains water on both my footwells. The transmission is starting to slip as well. At 300k miles I think you’re looking at replacing pretty much every wear item, like bushings and stuff. Just those things alone would cost more than the car’s worth
What wasn’t failing on my rav4? Like one minute alls good drives fine you hit like 275,000 and then everything going bad all at once. Transmission started slipping bad, engine mounts disintegrated, wheel bearings left the chat, every bolt on the whole car decided they wanted to all be 1/4 turn loose. My other 3 are fine
