There is a letter from Toyota to dealers that says there will not be a fix until summer time. If you have any questions you're supposed to call Toyota customer experience.

The dealer is making up for the hand print by giving me the nav update for free. The nav updates fall under the 36K mile warranty.

I just bought a friends RAV4 EV and took it in to Walnut Creek Toyota for the 40k service. I asked them to change the inverter and battery coolant. They began by saying electric cars don't have engines and don't use coolant. Then they said the coolant doesn't need to to be changed until 90k...

I surrendered my Rav4 yesterday. I had gone through arbitration. I loved the Rav when it worked. My Tesla is scheduled for delivery at the end of the month.

Mine failed to charge 5-31-14. I just got the TSB 0010-14 on the 27th.

I bought the same hitch as Tony from amazon for $126.89. My bike rack is a Kuat with with built in cable lock and repair stand. The cargo door can open with the bikes off and the bikes stand tilted in the down position. I love both hitch and rack. The hitch is a Reese Towpower 51157 Pro Series...

I normally use the entune pandora function with my iPhone 5. I stopped using the USB port in the Rav because of the no sound situation. I also make sure that the entune app on my phone has been opened. It can be on in the background and doesn't have to actually be on the screen of the phone...

I own both a leaf and the Rav and I think you'll be happy with either. I think you should figure out what will work best for your needs. The leaf is a well thought out dependable electric car. The rav has more power, range, and utility. I like driving both but my grin is bigger when driving the rav.

Can someone with the noise record the the sound?

He definitely knew about the problem. Unfortunately he didn't give an exact date but I believe he was implying within the next few months.

I spoke to Sheldon Brown today and he said the software update for our charging should be out soon.

I'm definitely glad I charged up. I had 2 bars and the plug in light came on right as I pulled into my destination. edmc do you have a white one too? If so I saw you parked in front of Walgreens last week.

So I decided to see if I could get to Truckee in the Rav4. I can report that I left with an extended charge and stopped in Sacramento for lunch and a movie. Sacramento garages have a bunch of clippercreeks, including a 50 amp unit on the top of the garage I was in. I averaged 3.5mi/kwh from...

I was in a bit of a rush and I didn't get any details just what my service rep and paperwork told me. My wife was also surprised that I didn't get every minute detail.

Turned out to be loose plug to ECU.
