2020 RAV4 Hybrid Limited AWD

Decided to try the RAV4 Limited Hybrid. So far, so good. This vehicle has all the safety features you could want or need in a car, plus many extras. The greatest things are the 40 mpg and Toyota’s ventilated front seats. In Florida, that’s a must!

Transmission problem

If you have the heavily mentioned transmission problem. Take your car to a Toyota dealer. A bulletin came out on August 15th that fixes the issue. It is a simple reprogramming of the computer. Takes about 1.5 hrs to complete with road test. I did mine and it’s all fixed.

Toyota does not care

Purchased 2019 rav 4 on feb 9th with 10miles on it. Last client to leave the dealership that evening. Drove home, car stood parked all day February 10th. Turned the car on February 10th with engine light on. Took back to dealership, and told the whole fuel tank had to be replaced. A week after servicing, car came to a complete stop, and shut off in the middle of the highway. Had to get towed back to dealership. Was told the fuel gauge was not accurately showing gas amount, and the car ran out of gas. Fixed again.... currently driving waiting for another problem to occur. DO NOT PURCHASE 2019 Rav 4. All stories about engine and problems are true. When contacted Toyota HQ they don’t care about customer service. They refer you to the state lemon law policy. And send you off wishing u luck. Thank god it’s a lease, and the crappy car will go back to them in 3 years. They lost my business along with everyone who hears my story.

RAV 4 2019 DISAPPOINTING

I’ve been driving Toyota’s for 40 years and this new RAV 4 is so disappointing. Like many other reviews, my car jerks, mooing sound( grinding) and is loud. I bought it brand new in February of this year. The dealership says there is nothing wrong with it. Has anyone found a solution to these issues?

Highly deceiving mpg rating

This car has been a sad disappointment (coming from a Toyota family). Terrible gas mileage (6+ under the city rating), incredibly loud cabin, crappy speakers, cheap shortcuts taken (i.e. panoramic sunroof that opens all of 16 inches, vents in only two spots of ventilated seat), no hitch option, headrests are uncomfortable after any more than a short drive and aren't adjustable (other than height). Very disappointed in a brand with such a good reputation. Edit: Continue to be disappointed with the gas mileage. After significant highway use, highway mileage (in a very flat place) is about 8 miles under the advertised mileage.
