I recently brought mine (71k miles) into a dealership when shopping for a new car. They offered me auction value ($6000) after I balked ant the initial offer of $4300. I don’t think the sales manager realized there is a $4k IRS tax credit for qualifying buyers when these go through a dealer...

Here’s my speed sensor at about 22k miles on a reman with a sticker of 2020/04/27. I touched the droplets to a white paper towel and I think it was blue before it spread too thin to make out any color. Haven’t noticed any change in my reservoir fluid level. Yet…

I feel the same--love the car but know from hearing from everyone here that it's only a matter of time before something fails. The first loudly milling DU was replaced under factory warranty--not sure how much that one cost. I checked my repair bill and it was $5824.42 for my (third) LDU in May...

I would like to know more about “Toyota's price for a reman LDU exceeds the value of the car.” Nationwide search on car gurus has them ranging from $8k-$11k. Is the motor really that much? My last motor replacement was $6300 with the labor and parts a couple years ago.

5 years or 60k mi. All are more than 9 years now.

I’m also barely able to squeeze any more in on extended after a standard charge and 67k miles. Maybe 1kwh. I noticed it took a big hit after my battery went to nothing about a year ago. Seemed to lose 1-2kwh capacity after that event. It also seems to get just a bit more if I use the level 1...

I’d like one and just sent the Zelle. Address in the notes. Thank you!

Call QCCharge. They might have a solution and they’re in San Diego county. I recently saw a YT video that featured a mechanic describing battery repair options in their shop for a model S battery, I think. Maybe they can work on ours too.

What happened?

67k miles original owner moved to North Carolina. 85% original battery capacity. 2 motor changes and now the drive shaft clunking. Also found my white paint peeling under the roof rack mount. Toyota platinum warranty good thru 2027. Waiting/hoping for something normal-looking to replace it...

Did you fix the problem? When I have trouble I open the fuse box in the front and remove the 5A charger and replace and reattempt. I think the CHAdeMO 3.0 found at the newer EVGo stations where the plug is on the front is incompatible with JDeMO.

Just drove 110mi to a CHAdeMO and charging. It seems I only have about 35-36 of the original 41kwH left. I plan on buying the extended warranty again when mine runs out. So far only had to replace the motor (twice). Clearwater Toyota had it done in just a couple weeks the last time. They “lose...

Edit: My motor arrived at Clearwater Toyota on Friday, just 4 days after diagnosis and parts were ordered. This must be a record. The next steps are for the field tech rep to visit and complete the replacement. Cost estimate was ~$6800ish and is all covered by my Platinum VSA. Last week my...

Tony, are these batteries failing because there something different about the way the EV uses/charges the 12v battery than ICE cars (other than the alternator, I mean)? I notice my windows slow down when I turn off the car (just like ICE), so it seems like the battery is supported when...

Several forum members have reported successfully servicing/repairing their EVs out of state with the help of Kevin Spillane. http://www.myrav4ev.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=366 There is clear evidence that the car is NOT reliable based on the number of reports by members on this forum for a...

2014 2015 I owned a Ford Focus Electric for the first bill and the Rav4 for the second. DR--Residential rate because we have kids at home most of the day and A/C on all day during summer months.

Clemens, Paul -- I am moving to Madrid in a couple months and am wondering about your experience shipping the RAV to Europe. What company did you use to ship your RAV to Europe (and what was the approximate cost)? Any troubles? Some shippers specify no vehicles may be shipped with active...

Well, the buzzing stopped for a while, but then came back. Then I got the recall firmware update a couple weeks ago and now it's buzzing when it is not charging (juicebox not indicating power draw). :?:

valerun already did something similar: http://www.myrav4ev.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=527&start=70 When I finally win the lottery I want to put in the extra motor too.

I have one of these http://www.mycarma.com. Downside is the cords hang out in the trunk and I t doesn't give real time SOC but it logs data from each trip. I recommend it if you want something basic.
