general problems of the 2019 Toyota RAV4

Braking while pulling into a parking space. Instead of slowing down the car accelerated and went over the curb. Maintained pressure on the break but it did not slow the car. Instead the car kept accelerating down an embankment, across an empty street and towards a telephone pole. Turning the steering wheel to the left to avoid the telephone pole the car further descended into a ditch. The car had to be towed and is now deemed to be totaled. The brake- pads had been inspected during a routine maintenance check the day before this accident occurred and they were good. No other vehicle was involved. My personal injury was an abrasion and bruise where my seat belt did it's job. My muscles are sore. The side airbags did deploy after the car stopped. The floor mats were locked in place.

Well, making my research it shows that the Rav4 2020 will have a recall with the brake booster that my car the 2019 is having the same issues and it’s a very expensive fix. My car only has 40,000 miles is still brand new and I don’t understand why am I having this issues with the brake booster Rav4 2020 has a recall for that same part so I would like them to honor the 2019 brake booster and fix it as well.

Unknown.

The following information refers to recall notice 19v544000 "service brakes" and "electronic stability control" (recall number same for both notices) by Toyota for the 2019 rav 4 hybrid: "in 2019, Toyota issued a recall for certain 2019 Toyota Rav4 hybrid vehicles due to a faulty brake assist system, specifically related to a potential issue with the brake booster pump which could lead to brake failure; the 2019 Toyota prius was also included in this recall. " the recall covered the manufacturing period 4/26/2019 - 6/3/2019 and a recall notice was issued on 7/24/2019 for the affected vehicles and owners were notified on 9/20/2019. We purchased our vehicle on 9/21/2019 with manufacture date August 2019 and on 12/19/2024 we suffered a brake failure causing damage to the vehicle and our garage. The rav hybrid limited comes with sensors that will auto brake if it believes the speed/distance is insufficient and the brakes have not been applied. The brakes were self-applied at the time and no sensor action occurred. I believe the above recall should be extended to include August 2019 manufacture and should also include any sensors that involve the braking system and/or stability control system. Currently we are dealing with insurance and Toyota, no appraisal costs as yet.

The brake caliper remain stuck.

[xxx] - driving my 2019 Rav4 hybrid se nearing [xxx] [xxx] traveling 25-30mph suddenly felt like car was moving faster, stop sign came up fast, slammed on brakes with 0 effect! yelled [xxx]? as I shot across the highway, down the shoulder, coming to rest against a couple small trees. No air bag deployed, wearing seat belts of course, still bumped head on ceiling causing small laceration, neck trauma, and dr found I had also suffered a vitreous detachment (eye). Did not lose consciousness. Vehicle damage appeared to be front left corner but enough underneath to total vehicle. Very fortunate no other vehicles involved and that debris brought car to a stop instead of a big tree or wall. Two witnesses heard brakes. . .

Engine: I got the 100k engine maintenance done. I replace my coolant and got an oil change. The engine maintenance required warning is still on my dashboard and will not go away because the diagnostic reader states I need a new coolant bypass valve. This is not apart of the factory maintenance, alot on Rav4 owners are dealing with this, and it is very pricey. I think it is best for this type of situation to be recalled. Brakes: I got my front brakes replaced and I had issues with my front calipers. My mechanic said both calipers had holes in them and caused my brake fluid to leak which has affected my braking alot. It takes a long time to brake and I’ve experienced this even after I’ve paid alot of money to get my driver said caliper replaced, still need to get my passenger side replaced. My mechanic only uses Toyota brand supplies so I’m not sure why there isn’t any longevity in the quality of supplies. I’ve only had the vehicle for 2 years.

I bought this car last year on October 4th from carmax (mileage was 62k at the time of purchase). I started to have problems the next month on November 6th with the brakes which was rusted and had to replace the pads. That was very dangerous and could have hurt myself driving around the heavy rain at the time. I was scared for my safety and others wellbeing so I took the car to the dealership. Their mechanic checked the car and told me that this wasn't fixed or checked since April 2023 before I bought the car in October 2023. I had problems with the infotainment system. The map navigation for my android and iphone doesnt work anymore. The mechanic at the dealership fixed the rear break pads and discs but couldnt fix the infotainment system even after updating the system. He issued me a 250 dollar refund and was charged 680 dollars for the rest of the job. Another issue happened on March 2024 for the front barring needed to be replaced from a carmax mechanic shop. Paid 380 to fix. This month I got a message saying " engine maintenance required, go to dealership". I took the car to the mechanic and explained that the computer code error message means the coolant valve is defective. I'm thinking of going to the dealer tomorrow up until I found out the car never got the recall repaired from this website. Could this be the reason why I'm having this may problems? the car hasn't been inspected by police or insurance, only the Toyota manufacturer on November 6th who told me about the car not getting fixed since April 2023. I have the invoice of all these repairs done. The latest mechanic that told me about the coolant valve being defective thought I needed to change my oil. He did change the oil and charged me 189 dollars. I'm planning on taking the mechanic to fix that problem since the Toyota dealership was gonna charge me to fix the transmission fluid which isn't the problem. I will upload the receipt for the oil change job.

I was pulling into a parking space and when I applied the brake to stop, the vehicle did not slow down and hit a building. The driver side airbags deployed (steering wheel and knee airbags). The was no one else in the vehicle. The vehicle was declared a total loss by the insurance company. I have reported the issue to Toyota and signed an authorization for them to obtain the vehicles electronic data.

Following this maneuver, our vehicle immediately shut down. An 18 wheel barely missed crashing into our rear. It took us approximately 1 minute to realize we needed to put the car in park, step on the brake, and push the ignition button to restart the vehicle.

When braking the vehicle takes long to stop and this is a brand new 2019 Rav4 ? it only has 5k miles on it. I noticed a clinking sound when turning right and left or going over bumps. I researched this and there are several recalls and complaints of the same issue regarding the lower control arm replacement due to it detaching from the wheel hub and it is a safety issue! there is also a recall for a safety issue on the motor to be replaced due to cracks on the engine block due to manufacture oversight! my car was manufactured in the time frame of the recall month of manufacture??? there is also an issue on the reverse camera system going blank when reversing? I researched this and there is also a recall on this issue?.

2 issues with this brand new 2019 xse hybrid Rav4. 1) fuel tank never fills up as gas pump clicks off at 9. 5 (3/4 full) at gas station. This is now all over the news and blogs, and Toyota seems to have acknowledged the issue, but no solution yet . 2) after Toyota dealership performed brake recall service on Dec. 8, 2020 (at less than 2k miles), the front brakes whistles or squeaks loudly whenever I apply brakes at low speed (at or less than 5 mph). When I arrived at dealership to speak with service manager (scott), technician was assigned and rode with me and confirmed the low brake speed squeal/whistle. After 2-3 hours, a different technician who was assigned to look at it claims "no noise observed after test drive, operating as designed. " funny how they assigned 2 different technicians - one who observed the noise upon arrival, and the 2nd one who looked at it and claims no noise. When driving out of dealership service area, the low speed (<5mph) brake noise squeal was and is currently still there. Dealer continues to claim cold weather or moisture may be the cause (really - that sounds amazingly false!) and refuses to acknowledge or repair the brake noise issue. It's as if the dealership (stevens creek Toyota, san jose) is waiting for a recall vs. Acknowledging the issue so Toyota corporate will reimburse dealership for the repair cost for the brake noise issue. Car currently only has 4k miles.

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.

Rav4 has only 500o miles on odometer. Have been getting a squealing sound from the brakes when brake pedal is depressed. Braking ability is not diminished, just a persistent speak. Seems to be more pronounced at first morning braking. After about 5-10 minutes it will go away for the day.

Didnt fill up gas tank and brake pressure is low. Its take too much space to stop.

The vehicle turns on the red break light mal function without pushing the break pedal in city streets and highway. Besides that the pedal makes a lot noice when is pushed and goes very low metal to metal.

Battery goes dead and requires a jump start at least twice a week. Energency brake does not always release first time. Transmission clunks and grinds when shifting. Has been to two different Toyota dealers who tell me everything is fine and I don't drive it enough. Bought it new in 2019 and it now has 2901 miles on it.

Upon pressing brakes while going thru a pot hole the electronic stability control deactivates and flashes like if the vehicle was drifting or without road grip.

Fueling: gas pump shut off when tank is about have full. To complete fueling I have to pull gas hose out of tank and place nozzel where I can see gas being deposed into tank to complete fill. I have had gas spray back on me. Takes 3 times as long to fill.

Toyota pre-collision system with pedestrian detection does not appear to work as advertised. The vehicle has been back to the dealership due to the pre-collision system not sending a warning as it should. Dealership stated that there would most like cause damage to my vehicle if they attempted to test the system; the the vehicle did not stop as it should, they would not be responsible for the damage they caused. I also contacted Toyota directly how said they could not comment and I need to refer to the Toyota documentation which I explained show the vehicle sending warnings and stopping well before my vehicle does. The dealership did confirm the sensitivity was turned all the way up, they could not explain why it was not working, but said "the car is smarter then people so don't worry about it".

Purchased Rav4 hybrid in may and noticed the car would have a squeal/squeak when starting. Eventually was told the rotors were warped and was �fixed� however upon driving off I noticed the break assist was not the way it was. It was delayed in breaking especially if needing to break suddenly. Currently is being inspected.

Driving at a speed of 60mph I heard a strange noise arise from the rear passenger side of the vehicle and smelled a burning (electrical) smell. I cut off the heater and seat warmers as a precaution, slowing the car to a speed of 30-40mph. Approx. 2 minutes later, my dashboard lit up with about 4 consecutive warnings 1. Antilock brake system has malfunctioned. 2. Lane tracing assist has malfunctioned. 3. Rear cameras have malfunctioned. 4. Parking assist with automated braking (PA w/ab) has malfunctioned. Brakes continued to engage, but felt stiff as though they may stop working.
