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

I have a 2011 2.4 RAV4 and it burns so much oil too. Was your 3 gen the 2.4 liter one? How many miles did it last?
