Battery recall and Toyota on 6/7/2024 stated that the battery issues is unrelated to the recall and they cannot do anything. I was refused service a few months back for this recall.
I believe Toyota is falsifying the mpg rating to make it appear they are getting better gas mileage than they are actually getting. On a new Toyota Rav4 bought last year, the speedometer always reads 3 miles faster that my actual speed. This is confirmed by my stand-alone gps unit and my iphone as well. I have since checked out other new Toyotas and found the same error. This error favors Toyota because if make the onboard computer report that you are achieving better mpg that you are. This error is also recording more fictitious miles driven, on your car, than you actually have driven and causing you to get servicing sooner as well as running out your warranty quicker than it should. However, I have since traded in this vehicle for a different vehicle that I feel is more honest and accurate with their information.
Vehicle popped up engine maintenance required. Not an oil change reminder as I’d just had that done a week ago. Rav4 xle is at 60,820 and this is a common issue from the looks of it. Dealer wants $800 to fix but no physical codes came up.
Engine maintenance required “visit dealer” light is on and won’t turn off even when resetting the scheduled maintenance data. Needs a 3 point valve according to dealership. $650 cost for that part to make light go away. This is something that needs fixed and recalled as he says it’s a common issue with the Rav4.
