This is a long sad story with a happy ending In January 2021, I took my RAV4 EV to Findlay Toyota (Henderson Nevada) for service with the “Check EV System” message displayed. The symptom was that my RAV4 EV would go into "Neutral Mode" when accelerating onto a freeway onramp. At that time,...

[/quote]Did they check the converter fuses (without removing it)?[/quote]
I have not talked to the Technician

My experience with auto repair facilities in general is that if they mis-diagnose an expensive problem, mostly they do not offer any compensation on the original repair; sometimes, you'll get a discount on subsequent parts replacement costs, but they are diagnosing via parts replacement at your exp...

I live out of state but REALLY like the Rav4 EV. Is it worth it? The reddit forum on r/electricvehicles seemed down on it as a compliance car. I usually do all my own car maintenance but have never worked on an EV before. Thoughts? Yes I recommend buying a used Rav4 EV. (I live in Las Vegas and rec...
