2021 Toyota Rav4 (gas model) has experienced a sudden, unexpected engine stall/shutdown on a public road. The incident occurred while shifting into drive after backing up in reverse. The engine immediately died without any prior dashboard warning lights or mechanical symptoms. The information screen displayed a message stating "put car in park" or "shift into park. " the vehicle safely restarted immediately after shifting back into park and pressing the ignition button. This intermittent stall has happened three times under the exact same directional shifting conditions over the last 1. 5 years, creating a high-risk scenario for a rear-end collision in active traffic. After previous incident (one year ago) when the engine stopped when shifting from reverse to drive, I took it to Toyota service. Dealership diagnostics could not previously replicate the issue due to its intermittent nature and the absence of a permanent check engine code. Checked battery and performed health check.

**vehicle:** 2020 Toyota Rav4 le *:** [xxx] **current mileage:** 126,776 miles **purchase date:** October 2020 **component:** automatic transmission (power train) **problem description:** on xxx, I took my 2020 Toyota Rav4 le to a transmission specialty shop (tj's transmission service inc. , bedford, PA) because the automatic transmission was slipping while driving. The professional diagnosis (invoice #xxx) confirmed the following stored fault codes: p2681, p2816, p08ba, p2713 the technician also confirmed that the transmission fluid was black and contained metal debris, indicating significant internal wear of clutch/band components. While researching these codes, I found that Toyota previously issued technical service bulletin (TSB) t-sb-0160-18, titled "transaxle whine noise, harsh shift, mil on, or reduced power," which acknowledges these same fault codes (p2816, p08ba, p2713, among others) as a known problem in the 8-speed automatic transmission (ua80/ub80 family, manufactured by aisin). This TSB was officially issued only for the 2017-2018 highlander and sienna models, but the 2019 and later Rav4 uses the same transmission family (ub80e/ub80f) for the 2. 5l engine, suggesting this is the same design or manufacturing defect that has not been officially acknowledged for this model. This issue represents a safety risk, as unexpected loss of power or transmission slippage while driving (for example, when merging onto a highway or passing) can create a dangerous situation for the driver and other vehicles on the road. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate whether a similar failure pattern exists in other 2019-2021 Rav4 vehicles equipped with this transmission, and that consideration be given to whether Toyota should extend coverage of TSB t-sb-0160-18 (or issue a specific one) to include the Rav4. No repair was performed at this time due to the high estimated cost without warranty coverage. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

The vehicle experienced a sudden, severe loss of vehicle control while driving twice. Without any warning lights, dash indicators, or stored error codes, it began violently surging and decelerating uncontrollably around 20 mph with severe bucking. My 18-year-old daughter was driving. Fortunately, this occurred on a quiet local residential road at 5 am; had this sudden failure occurred at highway speeds, it would have resulted in a catastrophic rear-end collision. The vehicle was purchased in may 2023, has 42k miles, and was used normally for school commuting. Incident 1 (08/03/2026): towed to Toyota. Techs could not diagnose it and opened a tech case. Per instructions, dealer replaced shifter assembly due to internal short (part 33560-0r070). However, within 24 hours of return, the exact same dangerous failure reoccurred suddenly without warning in mild traffic. Experiencing an uncontrollable vehicle was terrifying. Fortunately no crash occurred, but it was towed back immediately. When I raised urgent safety concerns and sought a permanent resolution, Toyota stated it takes 60 days for review. During this period, if the dealer requests loaner return, I must return it immediately. They further stated that as soon as the dealer declares the vehicle "ready for pickup," I must retrieve it immediately or be charged daily storage fees. When I asked how the dealer could diagnose and repair the car entirely on their own—without Toyota corporate engineering instructions while Toyota is supposedly still investigating the root cause—Toyota had no logical answer. When I asked who assumes legal and safety responsibility if another failure or accident occurs after pickup, Toyota executive offices explicitly stated "no one" assumes responsibility. No reasonable consumer would drive an unresolved, life-threatening defect under an explicit disclaimer of safety accountability.

Unknown - on xxx, at just 7,741 miles, my 2025 Toyota Rav4 xle premium awd (VIN: [xxx]) suffered a catastrophic and life-threatening complete mechanical and hydraulic transmission failure. The vehicle completely lost forward propulsion when placed in drive mode, rendering it entirely immobile. When placed in reverse gear, the transmission violently over-pressurized, causing the vehicle to suddenly surge and jump uncontrollably. Simultaneously, the dashboard displayed 6 critical safety system failures: 1. Check engine — electronic control malfunction 2. Vehicle stability control system (vsc/trac) malfunction 3. Secondary collision brake system malfunction 4. Pre-collision system malfunction 5. Parking brake system malfunction 6. Advanced ultrasonic detecting and ranging system malfunction ourisman Toyota chantilly (ro# xxx) has confirmed complete transmission failure. Fault codes found: p28167f — pressure control solenoid h actuator stuck off, p08ba7f — pressure control solenoid l actuator stuck off. Estimated repair cost: $11,347. 42. While this failure fortunately occurred on a local road, had it occurred while merging onto I-66 or I-95 at highway speeds, it would have inevitably caused a catastrophic high-speed collision. This represents an extreme manufacturing defect and life-threatening safety hazard. Toyota corporate cases opened: #xxx (original case) and #xxx (full replacement request). I am requesting full vehicle replacement. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

The 8-speed automatic on my 2019 Rav4 (2. 5l 4 cyl) has been shifting super rough at lower speeds, to the point to where downshifts can send the revs into redline territory, but the car really doesn't move. No warning lights, passed state inspection, recently serviced. Purchaced this car in janurary with 50k miles on it and noticed it within a few weeks of driving. I am now at 57k and the issue is signifigantly worse than it was before. Will be taking it to Toyota soon. The safety issues arise when I do not know how the car is going to accelerate or respond to throttle input in traffic. I don't trust the car to handle any fast throttle input if I need to move out of the way quickly.

National transportation safety boaed has confirmed 57 cpmplaints of same issue. Vehicle determined total loss by insurance inspector, va state police. No warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms proir to the problem.
Gear shift makes noise when moving it, as in you can actually hear the gears/electrical equipment moving and making noise when going from park to drive. The keyless entry when the fob is near, just doesn't work well from the drivers side. . . I can stand there trying to allow it to unlock and it just locks again or wont unlock the passenger door even if allowing it extra time to.
My 2021 Toyota Rav4 began experiencing intermittent shuddering and vibration at low speeds around may 2026. The condition occurred while accelerating from a stop or at slow speeds and became more frequent over time. Because the problem was intermittent, the dealership was initially unable to duplicate it. Independent inspection later found dark transmission fluid containing metal debris, indicating internal transmission failure. I was informed the transmission requires replacement or rebuild. My vehicle has approximately 94,000 miles, which is well below the expected service life of a modern transmission. The symptoms are consistent with numerous reported complaints involving Toyota’s ua80 automatic transmission and torque converter. An unexpected loss of smooth power delivery or hesitation during acceleration creates a potential safety risk, particularly when entering traffic or crossing intersections. I am submitting this complaint so NHTSA can investigate as this is a very dangerous and concearning issue.

My 2019 Toyota Rav4 adventure suffered a sudden catastrophic transmission failure while driving on the highway on April 28, 2026, resulting in loss of forward gears and a dangerous situation. On April 28, 2026, while traveling in [xxx] , my 2019 Toyota Rav4 adventure (159,173 miles) experienced a sudden transmission failure with no prior warning symptoms. The vehicle began slipping, made a whining noise, would not properly upshift or hold speed (became stuck in 3rd gear), and eventually lost all forward propulsion, creating a safety hazard on the road. I had the vehicle towed to zanesville Toyota in [xxx] . Their diagnosis (copy of repair order attached) revealed severe internal damage including: torque converter clutch actuator stuck off multiple pressure control solenoids stuck transmission slipping and complete loss of all forward gears fluid full but contaminated with metal debris and clutch material whining noise the dealer quoted approximately $15,000 for a full transmission + torque converter replacement and denied goodwill assistance. This appears to be part of a known issue with the 8-speed automatic transmission (ub80) in 2019+ Toyota Rav4 models. I am concerned this is a safety defect that can cause sudden loss of power while driving, increasing the risk of a crash. I have attached the zanesville Toyota repair order dated 04/30/2026 documenting the failure. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
Malfunction: mechanical failure of the torque converter clutch. The vehicle exhibits a persistent transmission shudder during acceleration between 25–50 mph. Warning signs: none. There were no dashboard warning lights or error messages prior to or during the failure. The only indicator was the physical shuddering of the vehicle. Safety risk: the malfunction causes unpredictable hesitation when merging or changing lanes, creating a dangerous speed differential and risk of rear-end collision. Documentation: comprehensive maintenance records are available to prove the vehicle was serviced according to the manufacturer’s schedule at a third-party facility.

At 92,000 miles my transmission went out and Toyota told me I need a brand new one. It goes in for routine services. It’s available for inspection. For the last few years I addressed the issues of jerky shift motion and it was blown off every time. It is only 7 years old. It stalled out in a busy intersection and wouldn’t move forward or backwards. There were no warning lamps before it went out.
Supplemental to complaint 11728745. My 2025 Rav4 failed at 39,919 miles. Toyota corporate is acting in bad faith to deny the 60,000-mile powertrain warranty. The case manager repeatedly calls only after 6:30 pm when the dealership is closed to avoid resolution. Furthermore, the representative is now using "legal threats"-directing me to their legal department-as a tactic to stop me from pursuing this valid warranty claim. This is a safety hazard and a violation of federal warranty law.
My 2025 Toyota Rav4 (39,919 miles) has a permanent "check engine" light. On March 18, 2026, diagnostic codes p24517f and p214502a were found, indicating a failure in the switching valve and fuel tank pressure sensor. Toyota USA and the dealer are refusing to honor the 60,000-mile powertrain warranty and federal emissions warranty. I am reporting this as a safety defect because the vehicle may lose power or stall on the highway, creating an immediate crash risk. The manufacturer's refusal to repair a known emission/fuel defect in a new 2025 model has left me with an unsafe vehicle for over 15days.
I was about to accelerate on a main avenue, made a clunking sound and came to a halt. Couldn't pull over safely. Investigated by mechanic, said the transmission exploded, and the differential gears broke. No warning lights.

The contact owns a 2020 Toyota Rav4. The vehicle was previously taken to a dealer for maintenance, and it was discovered that there was an oil leak underneath the vehicle. The contact stated that the transmission was shifting roughly while driving. The vehicle was driven to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed with transmission failure. There were metal fragments found in the transmission fluid. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 133,000.
The entire transmission failed according to the Toyota service center in hyannis, MA. My vehicle is only 5 years old, only has 42,245 miles, no history of any accidents, I am the only owner, and had regular and consistent service. My vehicle is available for inspection. I am now part of the class action lawsuit against Toyota for knowingly selling cars with the defect in the ua80 8-speed automatic transmissions and torque converters. The transmission failed while I was on the road driving, which could have been a potentially very dangerous situation. The vehicle was inspected by the independant ira Toyota service center of hyannis. There were 5 different warning lights that suddenly came on while I was driving, and I immediately went straight to the nearest Toyota center as soon as the lights came on. Apparently, according to the class action lawsuit, engineers warned Toyota about the flaws in the ua80 8-speed automatic transmissions and torque converters, but they sold vehicles with them anyway. I am not the only victim. I informed Toyota of the issue, but they will not repair it.

When trying to start my vehicle this morning, the car was having a noticeable issue the minute I turned on the vehicle. It was making some weird noises under the hood, and it was starting to lose power. Then the engine would cut out and a warning would appear on my dash that read, "engine stopped, steering power low" thank god this happened while I was at home. What if this had happened while I was driving down the road, at a red light. I would have been a sitting duck in the middle of the road and would not want to put my kids or I in jeopardy of being hit.
My 2019 Toyota Rav4 8 speed transmission has died. There are 105,000 miles on it. I’ve read that my year and model of car have deficient transmissions and multiple class action lawsuits on this issue.
‘voltage abnormality, power steering low’ error message has appeared three separate times. All while vehicle is idle at stop light or parked, last incident car was unable to restart immediately. All dashboard lights came on, including message saying parking hold unavailable. Mechanic confirmed no issues with 12v battery health and unable to recreate issue. Loss of power is risk to safety, possible draining of battery due to unknown issue.
The 2023 Toyota Rav4 8-speed transmission is catastrophically defective and poses an immediate safety hazard. It exhibits severe hesitation, slipping, and lurching when accelerating from a stop or low speed, and when attempting to merge into high-speed traffic (I-15/las vegas), creating a high risk of rear-end collisions. During these events, the rpms spike and fall rapidly but the vehicle fails to accelerate. Furthermore, the vehicle lunges forward while the brakes are applied. The engine actively fights the braking system, requiring extreme physical force to stop the car and prevent front-end collisions. This lunging has repeatedly triggered the pre-collision system, causing the seatbelts to lock and tension against the driver’s body. Additionally, the vehicle exhibits steering resistance and feedback during turns, making it difficult to maneuver safely. The local dealership (autonation Toyota las vegas) inspected the vehicle and claimed these life-threatening behaviors are "normal" for this model.
My wife was going at about 10 - 15 mph coming up about 2 car lengths to a small curve in a residential area when all of a sudden she heard a pop or snap and the Rav4 went to a super high speed by itself. The acceleration could not be stopped even though she had her feet on the brakes. She had both hands on the steering wheel to avoid hitting a house and ended up going through a wall in the yard. There were no warning sounds and no signals indicating a problem. It appeared that the display was blank. There was no pre-collision warning or braking except as my wife was pushing on the brakes. She also hit the right side into side wall. No air bags deployed even though windshield and all door glass on sides shattered. My wife the driver was okay and not hurt, and the grandchild in the car seat behind my wife was fine also. Neither had injuries. There were checked by emt. The police looked but all would not try to get in except to remove my granddaughter. My wife was removed also because she could not get out the door was jammed against shed and rock, and handles broken off this happened after the recall work was done by Toyota dealer on 12/04/2025. There were no problems prior to the recall. I've listed the recall below. 25td01 rear traction motor cable corrosion - multiple model & model year Toyota hybrid (awd) vehicles NHTSA recall id awaiting# recall date dealer reference id 25td01 description the subject vehicles are equipped with a rear motor unit and an hv floor under wire that provide high voltage to operate the motor. Mud, water, or road salt could potentially enter the hv floor underwire connector housing and could cause corrosion over time. Excessive corrosion could cause am radio static during certain driving cycles, or the vehicle may not start. Status remedy available remedy any authorized Toyota dealer will apply a wire harness protector seal to the hv floor under wire connector. Toyota corporate engagement is looking into this.
Transmission went out at 109,217 k miles had to pay for it out of pocket Toyota doesn't recommend transmission fluid replacement until 120k miles.
Safety issue: the vehicle experiences intermittent loss of acceleration and transmission “slip/rev” events, especially when cold, from a stop, or at low speed. At times, the vehicle revs as if in neutral, then re-engages. The driver sometimes must press the accelerator fully to gain speed. In one instance, the vehicle was driven slowly for several miles, pulled over, shut off, restarted, and the function temporarily improved. When it started: symptoms began immediately after a routine service visit at a Toyota dealership (11/28). First noted deceleration going uphill with recovery. Next day, multiple warning indicators/messages appeared and vehicle was towed to the same dealership. Dealer response: dealership advised transmission replacement based on diagnostic codes and quoted approximately $10,000, stating fluid check was not necessary. Second opinion: independent shop found transmission fluid level extremely low (reported approx. 1/4 full). They refilled fluid; initially vehicle drove normally, but intermittent slipping/revving continued after pickup (worse when cold/low speed). No external leaks observed by second shop at that time. Current status: vehicle continues to show intermittent loss of acceleration/slipping behavior, creating a safety risk in traffic. No current check engine light, but symptoms persist. Codes/records available: codes: p07457f, p28167f, p088a7f, p27137f, c137ba2, c1241, c1280, u1117, b2227. Location: new york.
My 2019 Toyota Rav4 hybrid (VIN: [xxx] ) suffered sudden engine failure due to coolant intrusion. On Nov 20, 2025, johnstons Toyota in harriman, NY (ro#xxx) diagnosed the issue and recorded dtcs p26ca31 and p26cb, which indicate failure of the coolant flow control/bypass valve. The dealer confirmed heavy white smoke from the exhaust with a strong coolant smell and advised the engine had failed, recommending a replacement. This vehicle is part of the early 2019 japan-built batch widely known for premature electric water pump and coolant-flow system failures. Internal impeller swelling, seal leakage, and bearing seizure can cause coolant pressure spikes and ultimately head-gasket failure with coolant entering the cylinders. This defect has been reported by thousands of Rav4 hybrid owners (2019–2021). Toyota has addressed it quietly through internal tsbs such as xxx and xxx but no public recall has been issued. The safety risk is severe: the engine began emitting thick white smoke and ran roughly, risking sudden power loss, overheating, or engine seizure while driving. A stall at highway speed could easily cause a collision. Toyota USA opened case #xxx but declined assistance despite the defect being well documented. This failure was sudden, with no warning lights prior to the incident. Given the widespread nature of this defect and its clear safety implications, I request that NHTSA open a formal investigation into the electric water pump/coolant system failures in 2019–2021 Toyota Rav4 hybrids and consider requiring a safety recall. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

The car transmission hesitates to accelerate at slow speeds and jerks or lurches forwards in a uncontrollable way. Dangerous at stop signs or on slow or hilly roads. Dealership does not directly acknowledge this issue, despite mechanic mentioning very clearly it is related to t-sb-0107-19 which Toyota dealerships charge to repair. No warning messages. Issue has existed as long as I have owned the vehicle 1. 5 years from 61,000 miles to 71,000 miles.
