    2015 Rav4 battery needs replacement

    I'm surprised you got a price out of Toyota for a HV battery. When mine was replaced about 5 years ago I asked for a quote and they declined to provide one since it was being covered under warranty. When I inquired further the service manager said something along the lines of "we don't have a...

    Range Meter Calibration

    I have been driving my R4EV for 11 years, it has 105K miles on it. The battery has never been "extended charged". On most days when I wake up and unplug it, the range meter says between 95 and 102 miles - it depends on weather and how aggressive I've been driving. However, for the last 2 days...

    What is my RAV4EV worth now?

    I'm in almost exactly the same situation. 100k miles, about 95 miles on gom. I did have the motor and battery replaced by Toyota at 50k though. I've looked at selling and 7-8k is about right. It's worth more to me on the road than it is in cash. I'm hoping it holds together one more year - until...

    Fuel Door Spring Replacement?

    Thanks for the help! I picked up 77360-0R010 from a local Toyota service center for $8. It snapped in easily and now it's good as new.

    Fuel Door Spring Replacement?

    My R4EV is 10 years old now, and just passed 100K. Pretty reliable - though admittedly I had the battery and motor replaced at 50K :) The spring on the fuel door has been problematic for years - today it completely broke off. In the picture attached there is a small black plastic base which...

    Incorrect Date / Year on Radio

    When you hit the home button under the display the unit will show the date in the top right. Today mine says "Wednesday, June 12", despite the current date actually being Wednesday Jan 26 2022. The last two times June 12 was a Wednesday were 2019 and 2013, so I suspect the year may be wrong...

    Car won't charge / Onboard Charger Failure

    Does anyone know what the buzzing sound is the car makes while charging? Mine has always done it (presumably they all do), I figured it was a pump running battery coolant or something. The reason I ask is that mine is behaving different today than it has the previous 4 years. Rather than just...

    motor replacement cost $15k

    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 well...

    Cost for a New/Replacement/Replace Traction Battery?

    My service technician shared a bit with me regarding this. There is no retail pricing on the battery anymore - Toyota won't sell them at any price. He said verbally that Tesla invoices Toyota $10k for a battery, but I didn't see any paperwork that corroborates that info.

    ALL POSTS - Replacement Traction Battery

    I just got my car back - total of 5 months waiting for the motor, and 7 weeks for the battery. Has anyone else had a motor replacement? My car seems much more tame (sluggish acceleration) with the new motor. It is, however, a heck of a lot quieter than it was before!

    Cost for a New/Replacement/Replace Traction Battery?

    Funny you should mention it - I'm having my battery replaced under warranty currently. I've been waiting 6 weeks, and Toyota is telling me it could be 3 months or more for them to get a battery from Tesla. I was told directly that Toyota does not stock the battery, and that Tesla is the...

    ALL POSTS - Replacement Traction Battery

    Looks like I'm next for traction battery replacement. Car was gently used, 50K miles, no real issues until recently. It died while in motion and accelerating. Toyota has had the vehicle for 6 weeks, and have just notified me that both the motor and traction battery are being replaced...

    Has anyone replaced their wipers?

    Sorry to dig up an old post, but does anyone know the size of the wipers? I couldn't find it in the manual, and checking online I've seen a lot of variation. Most places recommend 24" and 17", but it is really inconsistent. I got a tape measure out - and surprisingly that didn't help much...
