What are some common problems with the Toyota RAV4?

I’ve owned several Toyota RAV4s in the past and never had an issue. However, I’ve only owned them for a year or two before I upgraded. I recently lost my job and I need a car, so the RAV4 seems like a logical place to start. Are there any common problems with the Toyota RAV4?
