3 weeks after the 50,000 mile service, on october 22 2019, i was driving 35 mph on soquel avenue, when the car became unresponsive, i lost all power and control of the vehicle, and "check ev system" came onto the instrument cluster. i was able to coast to the side of the road into a bus stop, turned the car off, and had the car towed into the dealership. the dealership was unable to replicate the symptom and informed me that it was due to the 12v battery. they replaced it and assured me the issue would not happen again. on nov 11, 2019, the issue happened again while i was on the highway this time. i had the car towed in again to toyota, who informed me that "some rav4 evs have been in the shop for months, unable to be diagnosed". i researched the symptom online and found that it related to a 2015 recall that related to the electric traction motor. toyota's description of the f01 recall: in the involved rav4 ev's, components in the electric vehicle traction motor assembly, which is part of the propulsion system, may cause the vehicle to shift ...

Car doest not move right away at a stop even when stepping on the accelerator at 3-4 rpm. very dangerous when your in the intersection when turning left or when crossing the street. seems like the transmission slips
I was parallel parking the 2009 rav 4 in yellow springs ohio. with my foot on the brake i was straightening the car out with the gearshift in one when the car accelerated, jumped the curb and hit a vertical sign post that identified the parking spot as a handicapped spot. there were no injuries and the air bags did not deploy. there was approximately $1800 damage to the car which was repaired and driven until a similar accident on 5 jan 2020 which will be filed in a separate complaint. a complaint was lodged with toyota who investigated, readout the edr/vch data, test drove the vehicle and concluded there was no defect.
On light acceleration from an intersection and/or mild cruising speed in eco mode, there is an often violent lurch from stop or surging at cruising speeds. with traction control switched off, the problem is lessened, but traction control by default turns back on in <one minute. we have been told by both marietta and world toyota that this is a known problem, likely related to drive-by-wire, and that toyota has no plans to address the issue until something happens to justify the financial burden of a "fix". we live in atlanta, where traffic is intense and reliability is key. this is our 14th toyota and first problem that has been ignored. the service department does not know how to fix the problem without guidance from toyota corporate. we are markedly limiting our use of the vehicle (3k miles in 7+ months) due to risk of collision. the problem began after we had driven the car for one month.
