2006 Toyota RAV 4 Limited

If you hear the noise from middle or back, it might be a binding drive shaft for the 4x4 system that's making the noise. It's really hard pin point the problem area without verifying the vehicle. But the only things in the center\back of the vehicle that would make a noise in that speed range would be drive shaft and\or differential. Check the exhaust system well. There's a very big muffler on this model rav4 which's common to rust and make all kinds of noise. Usually it goes bad at the edges where it's welded. Check them as well.

You need to replace the CV shaft boots. They're cracked and leaking grease that keeps your wheel bearings and CV joints lubed. If you keep driving, extensive damage may occur creating more issues!

dose it sound like a fast knocking noise it could be your CV joints connected to your steering in the wheels

sound like a bad power steering pump

I also bought a used 2006 RAV4 Sport (in 2008) and I am really happy with it. What you need to look for is for a clunk, pop or knock type noise when you are turning the steering wheel left of right. I noticed it when I test drove it. There is a service bulletin ST001-08 not a Recall. The dealer would have fixed it under the 36000 warranty but I don't know if it will be fixed after that. The 2006 RAV4 has no recall problems for the accelerator.

I have a 2006 rav4....there is a button to the left side of the radio labeled 4WD push it and 4WD light comes on on dash. It is electronic. Bad thing is that it automatically turns off the 4WD when the car reaches about 25 MPH....This means that if you want to sling mud while going through a puddle at 10MPH while reading 40MPH on speedometer...you are out of luck.

i require a bit more info, what type of sound, knocking noise from engine? belt squealing? have you just had car serviced. await more info and should be able to assist regards hj miame

Almost sounds like a throwout bearing problem. Either way, bring the car back and make them fix it. It will be covered under the warranty so dont let them try to convince you otherwise.

the front sway bar links are worn out and loose, they need to be replaced.

you have a rod knocking in the engine
