After driving IN RAIN for about 27 Miles then idling in slow traffic, vehicle started running poorly, stalled and would not run properly. Got "Reduced Engine Power, Visit Your Dealer Message". Engine would start but stall when put in drive. I held up traffic for several minutes. After several minutes of restarting and stalling, I ran engine in park for 2000-3000 rpm for about a minute. The car then ran fine and I drove for over a week before I could get it to the dealer. It seemed to be run fine during this time. Dealer found code P010014, MAF sensor and replaced the sensor. Toyota TSB T-TT-0763-24 appears to describe this issue but it does not appear to have a real resolution for this. It is 'under investigation' Just replacing the sensor, if it is just another one of the same type does not give me confidence that this dangerous condition may not happen again. There are many reports like this one.
I was driving the car for 25 minutes over main roads and freeway. There was lots of rain and water on the roadways, plus we just had major snowfall recently that was melting. I get to my destination and had my car in idle for 7 minutes in park. I shift into Drive and my car shudders and the engine shuts off with an error "Engine Stopped- Steering Power Low". I turn off the car and let it sit for one hour. Come back start it up and it does, only to repeat the shudder and then throw the same code. I had it towed to Toyota of Auburn, WA. They don't know what the problem is.Reddit forums have consumers with the same car complaining about this issue with no resolve.
This is my 2nd report to NHTSA and the 3 rd time in one year that this has happened to my 2024 Rav 4. It’s raining and I just pulled in to a Publix parking lot and not even 5 minutes of me sitting here preparing to go into the store my engine starts sputtering and shuts off. I’ve taken my vehicle to a Toyota dealership both previous times and they said they didn’t find anything
The contact owns a 2024 Toyota Rav4. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, an abnormal sound was heard coming from under the hood and would shudder towards the front-passenger side. In addition, the contact stated that the failure caused her to crash into a rail guard, and the rear driver-side tire had deflated, and the rim was damaged. No injuries were sustained, and no medical attention was sought. No police report was filed. In addition, an independent mechanic arrived on scene to replace the tire. The local dealer was contacted; however, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired due to the warranty having expired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 40,000.
Vehicle has stopped in the middle of the road 3 times so far each time I’m getting a message: Engine stopped Steering Power low
SUV shut off during heavy rain storm and won’t crank back up until after at least 5 to 7 minutes. I have had this happen four times and have had my vehicle towed to the Toyota dealership, etc..
The contact owns a 2024 Toyota Rav4. The contact stated that while driving 50 MPH, the vehicle started to shake abnormally. There were several unknown warning lights illuminated. The contact turned off and restarted the vehicle, and the vehicle responded as needed. The contact stated that the engine shut off and the power steering fluid was low. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed, but no fault codes were retrieved, and the battery was in good condition. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 13,048.
Oil leak
Engine block cracked at 3600 miles on a 74 degree day. At 5714 miles, vehicle had another issue of coolant loss.
The vehicle simply shutoff while driving. I am told Toyota is aware of the defect related to water intrusion in the air intake. It causes water to intrude into the air filter and map sensor which in turn causes the vehicle to simply shut down.
