2007 TOYOTA RAV4 — Complaint #636620

Open-data reference.

NHTSA Complaint about FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:DELIVERY filed August 30, 2007

NHTSA complaint #636620 (ODI reference 10201231) concerns a 2007 TOYOTA RAV4 and was filed on August 30, 2007. The owner reports the failure occurred on August 27, 2007. The vehicle had 55 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Georgia based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as fuel system, other:delivery, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.

The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.

Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same TOYOTA RAV4 cohort independently describe similar fuel system, other:delivery failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2007 TOYOTA RAV4 shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.

Complaint Description

HESITATION WHEN TRYING TO PRESS GAS PEDAL USUALLY FROM A STOP. THIS COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT WHEN I BELIEVE I HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO GET OUT ON MAIN HIGHWAY FROM SIDE STREET AND THE SUV WON'T GO. TOOK TO DEALER, WHO SAID NORMAL. CRUISE DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY ON INCLINES. IT WILL JERK BACK AND FORTH UNTIL CRUISE TURNED OFF. MECHANIC RODE WITH ME AND SAID THIS SHD NOT BE HAPPENING, BUT TOYOTA HAS NO FIX FOR IT AT PRESENT; THEY DO NOT KNOW WHEN. CALLED TOYOTA CALL CENTER. THEY SAID THIS VEHICLE NOT MEANT TO USE CRUISE ON INCLINES(SO WHY PUT IT ON THE VEHICLE-PUT ON ON LEVEL ROAD, TAKE OFF WHEN SEE HILL APPROACHING-WHAT A JOKE). NEVER HAD A VEHICLE IN MY LIFE WHERE THE CRUISE WAS NOT MEANT TO BE USED AT ALL POINTS OF DRIVING. TOLD BY DEALERSHIP TO WAIT. THIS VEHICLE IS NEW AND I DO NOT WANT TO WAIT.
