ALL Rav4 EVs have the "pedestrian warning system." It may have been disabled by a previous owner. If so, that is typically done by unplugging the speaker. I believe you would need to re-connect the speaker connector. The plug is in the vicinity of the 12V battery. If I recall you may need ...

Interesting, thanks for sharing.

I suppose if you are going to come late to the party you need to make a good impression. This could be it. I hope we are talking a couple years at most.

I'm in east county also, and when I am forced to use a dealer I use Toyota of El Cajon. They replaced the DU on my 2014 in 2016. I suggest you get in touch with Tony at Quick Charge Power (San Marcos). They can likely do a motor swap or repair for less than $5k. But there may be other underlying iss...

Yeah mine does that too. I noticed it this morning. 2014, 65,000 miles

I just got my 2014 back from a motor/battery replacement. A few questions for those more knowledgeable than I: 1. Is there any way to know if my replacement motor is the newer "rev 1" variant? 2. My car seems to accelerate much slower now. If I press the pedal hard, it still accelerates w...

Today I had a call from Toyota Carlsbad telling me the hire car they gave me is my financial responsibility. Going to see the service manager tomorrow to refute this. Let us know how that works. I know the 3/36 factory warranty has rental car coverage, but depending on whether this is being done un...

So after having my motor replaced six months ago, it's now completely failed and will be stuck at Toyota Carlsbad for a few months, while another motor is sourced. Not happy! :x Did the drive unit fail? What are the details? Typically the DU makes noise or has other symptoms, but a catastrophic fai...

The tires could be out of balance. Have them checked out. That would be the easiest and cheapest problem to fix so lets hope thats what it is.

Thanks, I rotate and balance the tires every 5000 mi. Next one due in about 1000 mi. So we will see if that helps.

With a good battery and dc-dc converter your voltage will be reasonably steady. So if you have a readout at the accy outlet you will know what normal looks like. Then if it starts dropping from normal you will know something is up. In that sense it doesn't matter whether you are at the terminals or ...

I have a 2014 Rav4 EV with ~65k miles. Drive Unit was replaced in 2016, around 25k miles. Over the past 5K miles I'm noticing a new vibration that slowly seems to be getting progressively worse. When driving on a smooth surface, like good asphalt, the car is very smooth. If I accelerate in the 50 - ...
