One rear seat belt was installed backwards at the factory. The Bluetooth for the phone is also flakey and does an apparent disconnect when using the phone - the people on the end can hear my radio plus me, but I can't hear them. Of course the dealership said they could not replicate it, so the "flakeyness" continues.

front brakes wore out at 13000 miles. turned front rotors, new pads. Cost me $251 for repairs but toyota later reimbursed me for the expenses. The front rotors on the rav hybrid are under designed for the weight of the vehicle. dealer told me that they do not last like on other toyotas. I am going to order slotted rotors and ceramic brakes at prox 25k and see if these last longer. love the vehicle but toyota definitely has a problem with the rav front rotors/brakes
