Consumer Description

FRONT CUP HOLDERS FOR THE 2006 TOYOTA RAV4 ARE INADEQUATE FOR HOLDING MOST CUP SIZES WITHOUT FEAR OF THE CUP TIPPING OVER. THE LOCKING MECHANISM TO SECURE A CUP DOES NOT ACCOMMODATE LARGE OR MEDIUM DIAMETER SIZED CUPS (ONLY SMALL DIAMETER CUPS CAN BE SECURED IN THE HOLDER). I ALMOST SCALDED MYSELF ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS DUE TO THE CUP TIPPING OVER UPON MAKING A TURN. TOYOTA IS OBVIOUSLY AWARE OF THE PROBLEM SINCE IT ISSUED A RETROFIT FOR THE 2006 AND 2007 VEHICLES. *TR
