Imagine that! Nobody wants to buy a hydrogen powered fuel cell car. :o

Thanks Tony. I'll remember that if it ever happens again. The dealer just did what Tesla told them to do. The part came from Tesla, as well as the diagnosis. The fuse was kind of square with orange plastic around the edge on one side. To answer the other question, yeah I was in sport mode and...

It turned out to be the service port under the dash. The 325amp fuse blew. Not under warranty. It's costing me $925.00 (Correction: It was actually $1002.00 with tax.) Bummer. Oh well, at least I'll get my car back and it wasn't the battery dying like the last time it quit on me.

Yeah, I'm still under warranty. The motor was replaced in January of this year and the traction battery pack was replaced in March of this year. The Toyota Factory Rep said 12 months unlimited miles on the motor. The battery pack is brand new, so it's covered for another 8 years , 100K miles...

On my 3rd motor and my 2nd battery pack and car died on me while passing a logging truck on the way into work. Luckily, I was going fast enough at the time to still pass and then pull off to the side of the road. Dreaded Check EV System warning. This is really frustrating.

It's more than likely that your drive shaft bolts have loosened and need to be re-tightened. It happened on my Rav after about 30,000 miles.

Hi, I own the Rav4 that had it's battery pack replaced at 96,000 miles under warranty. According to Tony Williams, only 5 Rav 4s have had to have their battery packs replaced. That's less than 0.2% of all Rav 4 EVs. That's pretty low. I now have over 100,000 miles on my Rav. At 96,000 miles...

Yeah. Reserve one online at 7:40 PM the 31st of March. :D

They were told by Tesla that the battery was sending a failure to discharge signal.

Before the battery pack went bad at 96,000 miles, the mileage at 3.5 KWh was 126. So My battery was down by about 13.1% and that was charging to 100%, 5 days a week, twice a day for about 3 years.

Folsom Lake Toyota is the dealer.

Meter initially had mileage, but then went to lo even though the battery was half full.

They replaced my main battery at about 2 weeks ago with 96K miles on the car. I hope this isn't shades of what's to come for Rav4 owners. Tesla told my Toyota dealer that they hadn't seen this occur before mine.

It happened again. Approximately one month after it happened in January, I got stranded again. This time, the dealer said it was my traction battery pack. Tesla sent them a new pack without even telling the dealer. I now have a full capacity pack with 96,000 miles on my Rav4 and a new motor. :D

Changed to the Interstate Group 24F from Costco. It's bigger than the OEM Group 35, but fits the holder better. Cost was $93. Has a 42 month full replacement warranty.

This happened to me two weeks ago, less than a month after they put in the third replacement propulsion unit. Car stranded me half way home. Stopped to get hay. Got back in the car and it wouldn't go into reverse or forward or shut off. Tried disconnecting the 12 volt battery. Didn't help...

Have them check the drive shaft bolts. Mine loosened up at about 30,000 miles and it sounded like a bad u-bolt. Technician tightened up and used Loctite. Never happened again.

Definitely sounds like a bad 12 volt battery. I just replaced mine. Had a similar issue. Car wouldn't turn off. Went with the standard Group 24 battery instead of the smaller Group 35.

My true-up was suppose to be in January, but PG&E doesn't have their act together. Still waiting to see if I owe a little. I started using three 1500 watt quartz heaters to keep the house warm in November. I think those heaters really racked up some watts! I had a $700+ credit up to...

My dealer just informed me that my 12 volt battery is bad. It will be 3 years the 21st of this month. I've never had an OEM battery go bad in that short of a time.
