Problems with 2001 Toyota RAV4 EQUIPMENT

I have a toyota rav 4 4wd 2001 model. at 47,000 miles i had an engine replacement done by lynch toyota under warranty. 25,000 miles later vehicle was diagnosed with a cracked flex plate. repair was done by aamco and in their written report they state that due to an alignment dowel that was cut off when lynch replaced the engine, the engine became misaligned and the flex plate cracked. in addition the torque converter also had to be replaced. the reports were handed to lynch and their service manager does not accept responsibility for this and reported that the cracked flex plate was more than likely due to poor materials. i still have the flex plate and would like to know if there is a way to have it checked to find out if indeed it was made from poor materials. aamco don't appear to believe this to be the case. *tr

Toyota rav 4 2001, headlights fog up after one year. they are a sealed unit. i have had them replaced 3 time now because of this problem. they are not cracked or damaged in any way. the headlights just fogg up after about 1 1/2 years. the cost of the headlights are $500 and to install them it's $180. after they fogg up, the light is dimmer on the night headlights and can't see very good when the light is so dim. i was told by the toyota repair shop that this happens to the headlights all the time. also on the lexus model that they also make. he told me it was a problem that toyota has not addressed. he just know that would happen again, because he replaces them all the time. that is unexceptible, the head should not be fogging up like that. why hasn't toyota mfg. done something about this problem???? please help me find out. pleaseeeeee. thank you. *ak
