Is the car still under warranty? 5 years is up for most of these cars. If it still under warranty, forget the clowns at walnut creek. You should take it to Toyota of Berkeley. They are the top rav4 ev repair shop in the bay.
I'm selling one of my 2 Rav4 EV's. 57,000 miles. I just had it checked at Toyota of Berkeley and it's not making noise on the orginal motor. The one I'm selling has the $3,500 aftermarket Jdemo 440volt DC fast charge port and hood struts installed by quickchargepower. The heater and DC to DC...

Dang, same thing just happened to my car. 62,000 miles on my 2014 silver Rav and the battery is dead.
Plugged it into a 220 and it didn’t take a charge. Tried to move it later and it wouldn’t shift into ready. Thinking this is the normal fault I unplugged the 12v battery 5 times and restarted...
I used to regularly get the “EV sytem fault have your car checked by a dealership immediately” warning. After many trips to the dealer, they never found an issue. I realized the fault in my case was caused by 2 things:
1 Pressing the break and the accelerator at the same time on accident. I...
I live in San Francisco and park on the street every night in exceptionally tight spaces, with 16 to 24 inches of space in both the front and back.
The great thing about the RAV4EV is the backup camera. Use it. It allows for parking in tight spots with some effort and focus. I consistently...
This is an interesting and all too familiar story for me personally and likely one that is common among RAV4EV drivers.
Having driven this car for 4 years and owning 2, I’ve had this dreaded “check ev system go to dealer immediately” warning a dozen or more times along with a failure to power...
So freaking awesome about the Redding station. That cuts 4-5 hours off the trip to Oregon from San Francisco. One DC station seems like a lack of long term planning. There really needs to be 2-4 stations per site. Making some progress though so I'm excited.
My left window was knocked off by a flying sheet of plywood that the car in front of me hit and sent airborne while driving down the freeway at 70mph. It cost me $500 to replace as well. I installed it myself and it was super tough because I think there are 3 mounting bolts and I could only see...
