I’m officially having buyer’s remorse about my 2025 RAV4. I drove it off the lot with only 25 miles on it, and by the time I reached 3,000 miles I was experiencing the worst hip pain and sciatic pain I’ve ever had. It got so bad I had to start physical therapy just to cope with the discomfort caused by driving my own car. Now at 9,549 miles, I dread getting into it. The pain is instant — every single time. A car shouldn’t physically disable you. I took it in today hoping for help or at least some kind of solution. Instead, I was told my “options” were either: Buy a 4Runner for $21,000 more, With no down payment, A higher APR, And a monthly payment increase of $400, …or buy a seat cushion. That was their answer. A $400-a-month upsell or a pillow. For a vehicle that is causing chronic pain and forcing me into physical therapy, this response was not just disappointing — it was dismissive. I expected support, not a sales pitch. Not to mention it was a use car with 12300 miles on it, and tried to push me into a lease , not happening.
