Since new my RAV4 EV when turned off has rolled forward slightly when stopped on an incline, even after applying the hand brake and then taking my foot the brake pedal, it appears to come to rest on the transmission gear. I thought the hand brake cable needed adjustment but when I mentioned this to the dealer I was told this is normal. Is this what other owners experience?
 
It always rolls back a little before the brake grabs, no mater how hard you pull up on the e-brake handle. Definitely a different feel then the LEAFs, which is electronic and doesn't allow the car to move once engaged.
 
I was told by Toyota corp to always use hand brake. And yes mine rolls a little every time.
