Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)The car lost all power to the wheels without warning. Fortunately the car was stopped at a red light but still had to be pushed out of the way in traffic with the help of strangers. The car was inspected by a Toyota service specialist who said that the splines had sheared off of the rotor and the entire motor would need to be replaced. There were no warnings (no lamps, no messages, no sounds) prior to the failure.
Unknown. Vehicle is having problems with fuel system. Vehicle intermittently runs rough like engine is not getting enough gas.
MY O2 SENSORS CONTINUE TO GO OUT CAUSING MULTIPLE DASH LIGHTS TO COME ON ALONG WITH GAS CONSUMPTION IF NOT REPLACED IMMEDIATELY! I HAD THE CAR FOR 2 DAYS WHEN THIS HAPPENED, NOW AGAIN. THIS IS RIDICULOUS
WHILE DRIVING 35 ON A LOCAL ROAD, THE VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER TO THE PROPULSION SYSTEM. POWER STEERING AND BRAKES WORKED AS I WAS LUCKY TO BE ABLE TO COAST SAFELY TO A TURNOUT. THE VEHICLE WARNING LIGHT SAYING "CHECK EV SYSTEM, HAVE DEALER CHECK IMMEDIATELY" WAS ILLUMINATED ON THE INFORMATION DISPLAY. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THE RAV4 EV AS THE TOYOTA AND TESLA PARTS HAVE TROUBLE MAINTAINING COMMUNICATION WITH EACH OTHER WITHIN A PART CALLED THE GATEWAY ECM. MY CAR WAS SERVICED BY THE DEALER AFTER THIS INCIDENT, WHERE THEY UPDATED THE FIRMWARE LOADED ON THE GATEWAY ECM.
