general problems of the 2019 Toyota RAV4 - part 2

Still waiting for Toyota to remedy a recall issued oct 28 2020. They say there is no fix yet. This has been too long to drive with the risk of my vehicle stalling and potentially causing an accident.

I received a recall notice months ago and the recall has yet to be satisfied all the while my toddler grandchild is in this vehicle regularly. My biggest issue is the safety of a vehicle that may still at hwy speeds and result in a crash.

Car lost power twice, going up a steep grade. �hybrid system malfunction� warning came on the screen, gas pedal did not work at all. I was unable to get to a safe place with children in the car, both times on the interstate. Driving up a steep mountain, about 50f weather.

About two months ago I purchased my first vehicle ever, it was a used car, as a new car owner I was super excited for my first car,driving out the dealership! but later on finding out that the car had some sort of recall on it ,not knowing what this meant, I started doing my own research and found out that this was a safety hazard for me and others on the road! safety recall 20ta02.

My vehicle is stalling when at low speed and sometimes high speed. It fails to accelerate. Every time I contact my service provider they push back my service another month.

Toyota has not provided the parts to remedy a known recall. Manufacturer recall number20ta02 NHTSA recall number20v682 the dealership has had my leased vehicle for over 5 months and has yet to provide a date that they will have it repaired and drivable. While they have provided me a loaner from a second rate rental company, I am extremely frustrated that I am not able to drive the car I am required to make payments on. Due to my age, the rental company charges more for a comparable vehicle, so I am forced to drive a greatly inferior car to that which I am paying for. Additionally, at the end of my lease, the vehicle will have significantly fewer miles that my lease agreement allows (since it has been parked on their lot for so long, which will significantly increase the value of the vehicle for their resale. I have asked them to buy back my vehicle, and they have been unwilling to work with me, as they are not required to do per my contract. Ultimately, I am paying for something that I am not receiving and am spending even more money due to the fuel inefficiency of the loaner. I feel like I paid for a steak dinner and got a mcdonalds happy meal without the toy. I feel that I should be compensated with at least half of my monthly payment for the amount of time they have the car I am paying for sitting on their lot being unused. That would currently be $687.

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!.

I am unable to get the 14. 5 gallons when filling up. Most of the time, I get about 10 gallons. This drops the range from the advertise 600 to about 520 miles.

Moaning, buzzing noise of front differential when acceleration to 35mph, also upon deceleration, especially when car is hot.

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.

On Dec 14, 2020 I received an interim notice from Toyota concerning my 2019 rav 4. I bought the car new (leftover) on may 29, 2020. When I received the interim recall I had had the car for almost seven months with approximately 3500 miles on the odometer. Subject of recall: vehicle may stall while driving. "the vehicle may stop operating (stall) and the driver would be unable to restart it". "if a vehicle stall occurs while driving, this could increase the risk of a crash". "we will notify you again when the remedy is available". I have done extensive research since it involves my safety as the driver. As stated there is no remedy. The 'list' at Toyota was started in Jan of 2020 for affected models. My car was added to the list in oct which means I drove for two months before being notified of a very serious recall. The repair plan is divided into phases. My rav 4 was phase 10 (!!) but has been moved to phase 11. The target date for repair is late March but since there is no fix for the problem I doubt this date is feasible. After a lot of back and forth with Toyota via the dealership and my insistence that the car is a danger to drive, especially on highways, I left my car at the dealership and received a loaner. I am a 70 year old widow and spending $36,000 for a car was a very big decision. I am still making monthly payments on a vehicle sitting at the dealership indefinitely. I have spoken with Toyota representatives about repurchasing the car for the purchase price but apparently they rarely do this. The fact there is no replacement part leads me to conclude Toyota is reckless and uncaring about the lives of its buyers. I have dealt with many recalls in my lifetime but nothing as frightening as this. I feel strongly Toyota has a responsibility to the consumer to offer a monetary (repurchase price) solution to the interim recall . (I don't know how to upload).

The info show this car have 14. 5 gal, but no matter how I refill the gas, everytime it only ran up to around 10 gal can't be go more for that.

Two weeks ago the car came on with an error message stating the hybrid system had failed. I brought it into the dealer and they replaced a relay valve and said they had been having the same problem in cold weather with other Rav4 hybrids. Now today, I went to start the car and it was listing about 6 error messages, everything from the brake power being low, engine failure, etc. The car wouldn't start and had to be towed to the dealership.

Received notification of recall from Toyota in January of 2021. Notice stated that part to repair condition would be available in late March. Latest information is that part will now be available in late April. Dealership has provided free loaner vehicle, but we want our Rav4 back.

Fuel system does not hold the amount according to the manufactures specifications. This appears to cause the gas gauge to show incorrect, which could lead to running out of gas. Dealer said there was nothing they could do to fix the problem and that this was a Toyota issue.

Unable to fill 14. 5 gallons as advertised. Max fill is 11 gallons. Brought it to the dealer and they continue saying the car is fine and that there's a "reserve fuel" we can't see. They are unwilling to fix this issue.

Two months ago I received a recall paper. In pursuit of this, I talked to shore Toyota that the engine recall paper has arrived in my car and I have to work for it, but nothing has happened till now and even today it is 1/5/21 the paper has come in its for that, but it is not known when the work will be done. I often call shore Toyota but they don't answer the same.

Purchased a new 2019 Toyota Rav4 hybrid awd xle on 10/24/19. Fuel capacity appears to be about 11 gallons, as opposed to the 14. 5 gallons advertised. I have run the car down to below 10miles of range multiple times and get the same result. This 25% understatement of fuel capacity translates into roughly 100 miles less of total range than the advertised 537-595 miles of range. See attached pics.

Rav4 2019 hybrid will not allow me to fill it past approximately 10 gallons. When I contacted the dealership they informed they were aware of said issue and that Toyota currently doesn't not have a fix or active recall for the issue. When I searched independently I noticed that many people sight this same issue.

The vehicle cannot be refueled fully without topoff, reducing the driving range of the vehicle.

Tl the contact owns a 2019 Toyota Rav4. On numerous occasions, the contact was unable to fill the vehicle with fuel to the advertised capacity. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The contact took the vehicle to ira Toyota of danvers (99 andover st, danvers, MA 01923, (978) 739-8300) and was informed that they would not be able to inspect the vehicle until he brought it in for scheduled maintenance. The manufacturer was not notified. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 23.

Took my 2019 Rav4 to Toyota of orange. Like couple months ago for fuel pump recal but my vehicle stalls when driving on freeway or streets. Looses speed for 4 seconds and its scary reported issues to Toyota of orange and they don’t fixed anything they only want to sell. They offer me services I don’t need for my vehicle. Got 2021 Rav4 rental from enterprise and that one work just find no problems had it for about a week. If could get another another dealer that will be great.

While driving down I-25 south of denver, CO in heavy traffic at 75 mph, the engine abruptly shut off. I suddenly had no engine power, power brakes or power steering. Luckily I was able to coast to the shoulder, but came close to hitting or being hit by several vehicles. When we made it to the shoulder all the warning lights and messages were appearing on the dash. After letting the car sit a few minutes I restarted it, and it did run, though all the warning lights were still on. There was a dealership 9 miles from my location, so I slowly made my to arapahoe Toyota. They ran a diagnostic and said that something caused the fuel to be shut off to the engine. They did not know why, and could not replicate the problem. They suspect it is an electrical issue as I also found out that the right rear brake light does not work intermittently. Since they could not replicate the problem, and had no loaner cars, they essentially told me to come back the following Monday and hope for the best in the meantime. Since I was heading to vacation this is impractical, so I was stuck driving a car I'm afraid to drive. My next step is I am taking the vehicle to the nearest dealership in fort collins, CO, and tell them what happened and that I want the issue resolved, the brake light electrical issue fixed, and be assured that the car is safe. I've never had a vehicle die while driving like that, let alone one with only 4580 miles. I'm apprehensive about driving the car 26 miles in the mountains to the nearest dealership, and so far Toyota has been no help.

My hybrid battery has yet to fully charge. I have only recieved double talk from 3 different service care specialist stating "the hybrid battery is never going to fully charge. And if it does, it will not last as long as the 8 year warranty. " I then ask if others {owners of the Toyota Rav4 hybrid battery } have the same hybrid battery issues I have. The service care specialist all replied"all hybrid batteries have fully charged".

The engine is non-responsive when making right hand & up hill turns. I can depress the gas pedal three times before the car starts to accelerate. This is dangerous! what is going on?.

Vehicle will not accelerate when pushing down on the gas pedal. This can occur when leaving a parking place or. From a traffic light. The engine does not stop running. It has only happened three times, but could cause an accident. The Toyota dealer could not duplicate this at the 5000 mile inspection and there are no codes set nor does it set a check engine light when it happens.
