Common problems and easy repairs on a 2016 RAV4

The 2016 Toyota RAV4 Limited is a relatively easy vehicle to maintain. The battery has unobstructed access to the terminals and the bracket, so jumpstarting or replacing it shouldn’t be a problem. Some of the headlights are accessible by simply reaching behind the bulb housing, which will allow for reliable bulb changes. The engine air filter is also easy to change as the filter housing disengages without the use of tools.

However, the 2016 Toyota RAV4 Limited does have its share of difficulties. You’ll need to remove a large panel from underneath the vehicle for access to the petcock, which will put you in an awkward working position. The wheel well lining will need to be pried back for access to the fog lights, which won’t allow for reliable bulb changes. Reaching the tail lights may also be a problem as you’ll have to take out the entire bulb housing first.
