I haven't really decided what approach to take with Toyota at this point. If I get another Check EV System light it will be the 4th time I've had to take it to a dealer (hence the 32 days in the shop) and I will most likely request a new one under the Lemon Law. Even if nothing else goes wrong though I was still downsized to a Prius for several weeks, a Camry for another visit, and wasn't even given a loaner car the first time. While waiting for the new part to arrive I was unable to check on my car with Entune which leads me to believe the battery was disconnected for several weeks of high heat (wouldn't this prevent the TMS from kicking in to keep the battery healthy?) with ~ 80% SOC. I'm not sure whether to pursue and extended warranty on the battery or some other type of compensation to make up for the inconvenience and lost time that resulted from this but I'll let everyone know how it turns out. With all the other issues with the Check EV System I'm not terribly confident that my troubles are over at this point. I love the Rav4 EV but I wanted to be on the leading edge, not the bleeding edge.
