My bought my vehicle brand new on December 10, 2019. On October 29, 2020 the battery stopped working with only 10k miles. I called Toyota and told them my battery needed to be replaced. Toyota told me to jump start the car and drive there to replace the battery. I advised my car was stuck in the garage and we would need someone to tow the car. When the �tow� arrived it was only a maintenance worker that jump started the vehicle and said I would need to drive it myself there. The worker advised me of the defective batteries for Rav4 and other models. Once my car was turned on and out of the garage, I was pulling out of my driveway when my power steering lock warning signal flashed. I called and explained I was an hour from the dealership and needed my car towed to them and the warranty I paid for should cover it. Subsequent to getting my vehicle back, I received paperwork in the mail with a recall notice on 12/9/2020 explaining the possibility of my vehicle stalling while driving, which could increase the risk of a crash. I pulled out my paperwork from the tech and on the bottom notes I noticed the tech wrote �interim status� explaining that I was advised there is currently an interim recall notice for the vehicle, but currently no remedy. This information was never explained or given to me until the recall notice via mail on 12/9/2020 even though the recall was defect info report was issued on may 20th.
There has been a safety recall on this car for over a month now with no remedy. If this problem could cause the car to stall and cause a higher chance of a crash, why is it taking so long to fix? it is unsafe!.
The car has stalled twice out of the blue. It was taken to the shop, and they said the vapor lock had gas in it. They wanted to charge $1000. The excuse was when it is hot outside you run the risk of gas getting into the vapor lock every time you fill up. . . That is bull. It stalled in motion twice on a city street.
My 2019 tortola Rav4 xle with 6401 miles on it has been experiencing problems with stalling since I first got it in August. I notice it especially when I don't make complete stops. It will stall and yank the car forward. It is annoying and embarrassing that my new car does not drive smooth. I will be taking it to a Toyota dealerships to get evaluated.
Purchased auto 3/20/19 and at that time oil appeared to be right at mark on dipstick. A month later noticed the oil level rising. Took Rav4 back to dealer 7/5/19 and had new oil and filter installed and dipstick set at proper mark. Dealer felt it was probably overfilled at factory. However, on 7/20/19 the oil is now 1/2 inch above the mark set by the dealer on 7/5. Concerned this might be problematic for all ravs. Will be contacting dealer again for possible resolution.
At this time there at least 24 complaint about a "lurching" problem at low speed and re acceleration. A very significant "lurching" almost"stalling" is very apparent as the complaints indicate. In addition, the transmission starts in 4th gear. . . Not 1st gear from a dead stop. I would consider this a safety issue. Has been an issue from day 1 of car purchase. Vehicle now has 5600 miles on it.
