Cruise control and other safety issues randomly go off line. When driving cruise control turn off, as do the electronics. Further, the automatic bright lights are random to the point I have to disable the system. I have pics and video, cannot change format, don't know how.
Sound heard when going from all wheel drive to front wheel drive at low speeds. Also when stopping when when the rear wheel drive reengages.
During a slow roll, the vehicle jerks pretty bad. Common problem with the Rav4s that Toyota hasn't addressed.
As the transmission shifts down to first gear, without coming to a complete stop as one accelerates the vehicle makes an abrupt forward movement. Strong enough to move a passenger backwards. I have only notice this at low speeds in traffic. Does not happen after complete stop. I will rake car to dealer to check the transmission this is not normal on an automatic transmission.
My 2019 my 2019 adventure is making a groaning sound when I accelerate conservatively between 20-30 mph. This happens probably 50% of the time. Seems to be the awd system. There is a bulletin regarding https://static. Nhtsa. Gov/odi/tsbs/2019/mc-10169438-9999. Pdf . It's an ongoing problem. Seems like this should be a recall.
Vehicle jerks after accelerating from a "rolling stop. " it seems like there is an issue with the throttle - there seems to be a delay with going, so the car jerks to kick into the speed it should be. I've taking my car to the dealership at least 3 times to resolve this issue, but they always say there is nothing wrong with the vehicle.
As I drive the vehicle and come to a stop and re-accelerate it jerks violently! it feels like it does this as it's accelerating in first gear only. This seems to be a potential transmission issue, but I'm not completely sure.
I received 2 speeding camera tickets due to sudden acceleration noticed time to time, front suspensions are not even and rough, transmission is not smooth when changing gears and/or stopping vehicle.
Twice this vehicle has stumbled when trying to make a left turn across traffic, applying gas from a near dead stop. Both times would have been an accident if other driver was not driving defensively. This rav 4 is unsafe! less than 5,000 miles since we bought it new.
Car hesitates when pulling out from a stop. The natural reaction is to depress accelerator more causing a shift feels like a lower gear and the car pulls out abruptly . This happens very often and I contribute it to lower gas mileage then car is rated at along with accelerated tire wear. I feel it is a safety issue when merging into traffic and causing a possible accident. I've taken my concerns to dealership on numerous occasions with complete disregard of condition calling it a " characteristic" of the vehicle. I feel there needs to be a recall to correct this issue.
Toyota has issued a technical service bulletin t-sb-0107-19 titled "hesitation on acceleration from a slow or rolling stop". It calls for reprogramming of the electronic control module by a Toyota dealer. It goes on to say that Toyota is not notifying Rav4 owners of this fix, you have to go to the dealer and tell them you are having a problem.
Tl-the contact owns a 2019 Toyota rav-4. The contact stated that while his wife was driving 10 mph the vehicle hesitated, failed to accelrate and crashed into a 2008 kia sportage.

1st incident: sitting at stop light for a few mins as normal. When time to accelerate, the vehicle started lurching forward in a hard jerking motion. 2nd incident: slower traffic. When driving in slower traffic or at slower speeds, ~20-35mph the vehicle will start lurching jerking forward. Took back to dealership for inspection, there were no issues found. Dealership reset internal computer, stating that "vehicle is operating normally". Neither has issue has yet to cause an accident with any other drivers at this time. I do travel with dogs who are harnessed and seat-belted in the backseat, they would have been thrown to floor of car if not seat-belted. For myself, I get tossed forward several inches and head thrown forward. When driving in slower traffic and/or stop and go traffic, the car lurching/hard jerking forward will eventually cause an accident. All incidents have happen on dry city streets. I would assume during these incidents of the jerking forward that the break lights do not alert rear drivers that the car is in a stop/go motion.
Trans mission jerks hard after I come to a complete stop and drive again.
When test driving vehicle felt like transmission was not shifting properly but not being a mechanic thought it was just my imagination. They would not put a defective car on the lot for sale right? wrong!!!! when I drove it after got it home it was obvious there was a big problem. Every time I stopped at a light then took foot off of brake to accelerate car would lurch, shake, shudder before I even got my foot on accelerator. Thought is was going to die. Would hesitate when trying to accelerate when put it in park to turn off engine same lurch shake shudder and sounds like engine died. Car has 61 miles on it. Was defective when shipped from factory took it back to dealer, said there are tons of complaints about this same issue. Toyota aware but has no fix in place. Dealer claims nothing they can do but wait on Toyota. So now I have a brand new car that I have to continue making payments on while Toyota continues business as usual and my car sits in the garage, afraid to drive it.
19 Rav4 xle awd transmission issue and power train. My vehicle has driven under 5k miles and I noticed two major problems. First, rpm moves up and down when I slow down the vehicle. I don't see rpm shifts when I reduce the speed in range of 10mph but I see rpm moves up and down when the reduction becomes greater like 15 and 20 mph. Furthermore, there is a hesitation and lurches. Once the vehicle's speed is reduced upto either 4 mph or 5 mph and try to speed up, I can tell it hesitates and lurches. As a result, I witnessed rpm jumps high all of sudden. The vehicle had software update on 9/9/2019 and I took video record and posted on youtube. . Read more...
The transmission is very jerky. It seems to start in 4th gear and if I have to speed up in an intersection, it downshifts violently and causes a lot of jerking while driving. Not a great experience and worried about the life of the transmission. Vehicle has 4200 miles on it.
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.
Vehicle does not function as advertised, ecm appears to change shifting, hybrid, and gasoline usage at lower temps. Pre-collision system malfunctions with any visibility reduction, causing the vehicle to suddenly brake at highway speeds or to not brake at all with radar cruise active. Also have same issue as others with not being able to fill tank more than 10 gallons of 14. Mileage is as low as 24 mpg for a whole tank, driving very conservatively.
After car has warmed up, accelerating around 20-30mph it makes a grinding noise. Typically happens when the awd switches to 2wd.
Make intermittent soft grinding noise (think raspberry) when moving. Makes noise in eco and standard mode but not in sport mode. The dealership told me they could replace the whole drive train and it might make the noise.
Tl the contact rented a 2019 Toyota Rav4. When the contact attempted to shift the vehicle in reverse, the gear shifter came out of the transmission box. The contact quickly placed the gear shifter back in the transmission box and notified the rental facility. The contact was able to drive the vehicle home. The contact was still waiting to switch out the vehicle with the rental company. The contact was unsure if the rental company notified the dealer and manufacturer. The failure mileage was 5,218. The VIN was unknown.
I leased a new 2019 Toyota Rav4 xle in April and since that day have had issues. If you are stopping and then go to push the gas again, you will lurch forward. Also if you ease off the break, it will rock back and forth. I describe it like trying to drive a stick shift when you don't know how to use the clutch. Also if you stop and go to turn into traffic or left across an intersection, it will delay and not go fast enough and then you push harder and it rockets forward. I have experienced 3 near accident situations due to this delay. I called my dealership about the issue and they said they didn't know anything about it. I spoke to the customer relations manager and he said the car needs to learn my driving habits, it could take up to 10k miles, and that it's normal. I told him I wasn't happy and wanted out of the vehicle as it's a safety issue, uncomfortable, and kind of scary. He told me I signed a contract and there wasn't anything they could do. I called and informed Toyota corporate. I brought the car in for a full diagnosis in June. They said everything was normal. I brought it in again in October. They did the software update. The car drove better for about 3-4 weeks and started up again. I called and scheduled to bring it in November. They said the software update hadn't taken fully and needed to be re-run. I left and still had the issue. I called Toyota corporate again and started the process for lemon law and the had my car for 3 days. They could not get the car to re-create the issues and so therefore there is nothing they can do and they will not be sending out the corporate master technician. They said the 1-2 second delays are normal for the computer while it tries to determine if it should shift up or down.
Condition 1 : heavy thumping in rear driveline when coming to a near stop, in traffic or parking causing vehicle lurch forward, as if hit from behind from behind? such can be heard and felt by occupants in vehicle. Condition 2: when coming to a near stop when accelerating back again vehicle delays down shift causing momentary hesitation before responding do to lapse in transmission gearing to find proper gear responce which leaves a second or too hesitation upon re-acceleration in traffic condition. Condition 1: above is due to un-coupling and coupling or read driveline wheels to mainly mileage rating. Which creates a feeling of heavy wear and tear to placed upon driveling components. Vehicles in question gas powered models only for further information look upon Toyota drivers forum and edmonton's customer complaints. Condition on going, contacted both dealer and Toyota direct, dealer had no idea what I was talking about nor did Toyota, this condition is not isolated to my car, there are many of same on sites mentioned with same issues.
Adventure trim of 2019 Toyota Rav4 makes an abnormal groaning/buzzing sound when accelerating. Sound occurs between 20-30 mph when awd system disconnects rear wheels. A video recording has captured this sounds on two separate occasions.
Transmission hard shifting coming to a full stop and the lurking jerk when not fully stopping and then pressing gas.
2019 rav 4 xle premium I purchased a year ago continues to lurch when suddenly accelerating from a rolling stop. An example is when pulling up to a red light and the light suddenly turns green, I'll take my foot of the brake and tap the gas and the car hesitates then accelerates. This motion jerks me and other passengers in our seats.
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.
