Component | SERVICE BRAKES |
Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | While driving the car, the brakes started to grind around 27,500 miles. I took the vehicle to the dealer while it was still under warrant. The service agent told me that the 2015 rav4 had a design issue where the brakes start to go bad around my current millage of about 27,900. He also said that this is a known issue and it is not covered under warranty, nor is there a recall. He told me that i need to replace the brakes at the next service. He also said that because of the design issue, he is offering a discount at $290. 00. It seams to me that a design issue that causes your brakes to go bad around 28,000 miles should not only be covered under warranty, but also have a recall issued to resolve the problem. |
