| I bought a toyota rav-4 sport in january 2009. it is a v-6 with the run flat tires. in july, i purchased a new, very expensive computerized sewing machine--one that i had hoped to be able to buy for a long, long time. it was just over $1400.00. i placed it in the back of my rav and drove home. i swung open the tailgate, not thinking i had to peak inside first. the sewing machine fell right out of the car unto the cement garage floor. i was devastated. then i thought how lucky i was that my foot or my small dog was not injured. a toddler or an infant in an infant seat would have been seriously injured. i remain concerned about the computer in my sewing machine. my husband, knowing how upset i was, and seeing that there was a serious problem, cut a 2x4 and wedged it in along the edge, thus preventing my groceries and everything else from falling right out of the car as i opened the door. the other concern i have about this car is that there are no run-flat snow tires available and we live in an area that is hilly, with a lot of snow. the so-called, all-weather, do not have enough tread for our terrain. *tr | |||

| We purchased a new rav4, in may 2009. yesterday while the car was parked the left rear tire explosively blew out the sidewall, the car has 2400 miles on it. the person who witnessed the failure said it sounded like a shotgun blast. i also found this in our toyota vehicle owner service records: by dealer 05/05/09toyota of mcdonough 5 0092548repair flat tireview details basically this car has had two tire failures in less than 3000 miles. a relative of ours, the one who recommended the rav 4 to us, had a similar experience with his new 2009 rav4 with yokohama tires, but since he was on the interstate traveling at a high rate of speed the tire was shredded to badly to determine the cause of failure. *tr | |||
