On June 11, 2025 I purchased a 2014 Toyota RAV4 AWD XLE - Deb992
On June 11, 2025 I purchased a 2014 Toyota RAV4 AWD XLE from Team Toyota Langhorne for $15,662 — total loan obligation $25,148.00. Within months the vehicle developed multiple major mechanical failures confirmed by the dealership's own personnel: torque converter failure, catalytic converter failure, exhaust system structural corrosion with the exhaust already separated and hanging — repair quote $4,745.02, brakes classified RED front and rear and failed within 9,734 miles of purchase, axle bracket so severely corroded it had to be cut off, fuel pump rust and EVAP system failure, fuel gauge malfunction, severe tire dry rot on aftermarket tires installed without disclosure, severe underbody and structural corrosion throughout, seat belt obstruction, and a post-repair oil leak that began February 28, 2026 and is ongoing. The vehicle is now not able to be driven. I was sold a $2,115.00 Vehicle Service Contract that did not cover the major repairs needed — and covered items were never submitted for warranty coverage by the dealership. The vehicle was in the shop in October and December 2025 — the dealership never submitted the warranty claims — dragging this out until February 2026 when the vehicle became completely inoperable. MPI videos from two service visits were confirmed recorded but never produced when requested. The vehicle has been out of service since February 17, 2026 — 56 days. Two replacement vehicles presented by the dealership were found to have mechanical concerns upon basic visual inspection. No resolution has been provided.
