Dash rattle fixed and raising height? by pitbouv

I've read about a common problem in RAV4's regarding an annoying rattle that plagues the dashboard area. Has Toyota remedied this problem in the '04 models? Also... what is the largest size tire you can fit on a RAV4? I'm wanting to boost the ground clearance to navigate flooded roads. Thanks!

Hello. On the 2004 Rav4 dash the maintenence light is activated. How do you turn it off if doing your own oil changes, etc?

My 2004 RAV4 L, purchased in 12/2003, came with the dash/cowl rattle. My dealer could not hear the rattle when I asked them to fix it. As a result, the dealer will not have my maintenance business or future car purchase business. I plan to switch to another dealer and see what happens.
 
It's sad that Toyota won't issue a TSB, so that I don't have to rely on the hearing of the tech guy to have it fixed.

Toyota did issue at least one TSB for the cowl rattle. My dealer fixed it over two years ago, and it had been silent ever since.

If you have this problem see previous posts #1210, 1223 and 1236. Good Luck. My dash rattle is still gone (but there is one in the A or B pillar that I haven't been able to isolate).

I'm six feet even and have plenty of room. You probably need to go sit in one at a dealer.

Utility by suvshopper4

Last weekend, I was able to put 2 adult-sized bicycles in the back of my '01 RAV4, once I took a minute (literally) and removed the back seats.
 
I was pleasantly surprised that I did not even have to remove the front tires from the bikes. The bikes rode just fine standing up, bungee- corded off to the side.
 
That's the kind of utility I like.
 
RAV on.

Safety of RAV4? by daryll44

Can anyone tell me about the safety (crash tests, rollover issues) of the RAV4? I am thinking about buying a '05 full loaded including the side airbags. Of course they are not in the showrooms yet, but I would imagine will arive before you know it. But I am wondering how safe this will be when my teenage daughter learns to drive on it (and will use it after she learns) next year.
