km-04 got a reaction from johanbrandon in clay bar
Been thinking of doing this as well. I have waffled on this a bit but watched several videos on it and think it is something that I could do well (or at least ok).

km-04 reacted to 2late4u in fuel tank problems, not just dodge
The 2019 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid could have a fuel tank issue that prevents owners from completely filling it up, according to a report from Automotive News. Toyota has issued a statement to confirm it is “investigating a fuel tank shape issue on certain RAV4 Hybrid vehicles. In these cases, variations in fuel tank shape may prevent a full refill by up to several gallons. This condition may impact the vehicle's total available driving distance. As a best practice, customers should refuel before or when the low fuel light illuminates, to prevent running out of fuel."
Automotive News cites multiple sources of complaints from owners about the issue, with most of them stating that the vehicle won’t take much more than 9-11 gallons into its 14.5-gallon fuel tank. This greatly reduces the overall range you get with a full tank, which is one of the big benefits of the Hybrid model. It’s rated for 580 miles on a full tank of gas, thanks to its 40 mpg combined fuel economy rating. However, even if the tank won’t fill all the way, the RAV4 Hybrid has reasonable range — filled with nine gallons, it could theoretically go 360 miles.
As for why the tank won’t fill, Toyota just hints at a potential shape issue. Automotive News points out that Toyota changed its fuel tank design when it redesigned the RAV4 Hybrid. It went from a “Native American papoose” shape to a “latitudinal, saddle-shaped design,” as shown by parts diagrams and described by AN. Toyota is investigating, so we’ll hopefully get a full explanation soon.
There’s also no word on how widespread the issue is beyond Toyota saying it’s affecting “certain RAV4 Hybrid vehicles.” Toyota has sold 82,398 RAV4 Hybrids so far in 2019, according to company sales reports. With that many vehicles out there, the complaints should be rolling in if a significant number of vehicles built are suffering from the potential issue. Let us know in the comments if your 2019 RAV4 Hybrid won’t fill to a full tank at the pump. Like we mentioned before, the vehicle has a 14.5-gallon fuel tank.

Also; just for fun
After changing the tire, I placed the still inflated damaged tire inside the trunk.
After 4 hours, the tire exploded without warning making our ears ring.
probably caused by the increased air pressure from the cabin heat.
Me and wife in conversation, she is half way through a sentence. It is 7am.
Tire in the back seat: [Loudest single noise I've ever heard.] --KABOOM!---
Our ears: ******rrriiiinnnnggggggg ..................
Me: "Ore you OK?"
Wife: [silent, but Totally OK, but looks in shock]
Me: "Must have been the tire in the back... Well, with the adrenaline I don't need Redbull anymore"
Wife: [checking her heart rate, still in shock]
Me: "Well looks like I don't need to use the bathroom anymore either"
Wife: [Snaps out of shock:] "WILL YOU SHUT UP!"

km-04 reacted to 2late4u in Adjust brake pedal height ???
well thats a great way to get advice by calling names from whom you want help...to be honest their isn't much can be done if the pedal height is not to your liking. i use to work for Chrysler in St Louis and drove the vans off the line and to be honest the ones with adjustable pedals that CAN be ordered(and to be honest might could be redone at the dealership but u am certain the cost would be extremely high) had a feel to them that i didnt like dont know if it was the angle or just the pressure feel when using them..good luck finding a fix for your problem

km-04 got a reaction from jkeaton in Transmission "clunk"
My 2014 did as well. I looked it up and found that it was common. Still worried me so I took it to the dealer. They said it was the motor mounts, not sure if it was true, but the clunking stopped after that.

No more 3.6L engine is one of the dumbest moves they could make. Sales WILL take with just offering the 2.4L. Looks like no more DJ's in my life. The ride was fun while it lasted.
