Electrical system, 12v/24v/48v batteryNov 1, 2023
Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling certain 2013-2018 RAV4 vehicles. Certain replacement 12-volt batteries may not fit properly in the battery tray, allowing the battery to move and contact the hold-down bracket, possibly causing a short circuit.
A battery short circuit increases the risk of a fire.
Dealers will replace the battery clamp sub-assembly, battery tray, and positive terminal cover, free of charge. Owner letters were mailed December 27, 2024, to 2013-2014 RAV4 owners. Additional owner notification letters will be mailed in phases, phase 2 will begin on May 14, 2025, and phase 3 in late July 2025. Owners may contact Toyota's customer service at 1-800-331-4331. Toyota's numbers for this recall are 23TB13 and 23TA13.

Trailer hitchesJan 16, 2015
Southeast Toyota Distributors, LLC (SET) is recalling certain model year 2013-2015 Toyota Rav4 vehicles manufactured June 1, 2013, to December 29, 2014, and equipped with an accessory trailer light module. The software within the module may incorrectly detect an electrical short and preventively turn off the electrical current and the trailer lights.
If the system incorrectly detects an electrical short and turns off the trailer lights while the trailer is being towed at night, there is an increased risk of a crash.
SET will notify owners, and dealers will replace the trailer light module with a new unit with corrected software, free of charge. The recall began on March 17, 2015. Owners may contact SET customer service at 1-866-405-4226. SET's number for this recall is SET-15A.

THE SUNROOF SPONTANEOUSLY SHATTERED. IT SOUNDED LIKE A LOUD THUD OF SOMETHING HITTING THE ROOF OF OUR CAR, BUT WE WERE DRIVING IN AN OPEN PARK AREA WITH NOTHING OVERHEAD AND NO OTHER CARS WITHIN CLOSE DISTANCE. WE OPENED THE SUNROOF COVER AND SAW THAT IT HAD COMPLETELY CRACKED. BY THE TIME WE GOT HOME, MUCH OF THE GLASS WAS MISSING.

I DID NOT REALIZE THAT THE RAV4 CLASS ACTION WAS EVEN FILED. I OWN A RAV 4 2003 AND I NEVER RECEIVED A LETTER INFORMING THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE 103,000 MILES ON IT. I TAKE IT TO THE DEALER ON A REGULAR BASE .RECENTLY 3/25, 2016 IT STARTED TO RUN ROUGH, AND WAS DIFFICULT TO ACCELERATE. I TOOK IT TO MY TOYOTA DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THEY WOULD ADJUST THE ECM WHICH THEY DID AND TOLD ME TO DRIVE IT ANOTHER 100 MILES. WELL, I ASKED THEM WHAT HAPPENS IF THE PROBLEM PERSISTS AND THEY SAID THEN WE REPLACE THE ECM FOR $ 1100 DOLLARS IF THAT DOES NOT FIX IT THEY SAID THEY WOULD CHARGE ME $6,000 DOLLARS FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION. AT THE TIME I DID NOT REALIZE HOW MANY OTHER PEOPLE WHO OWNED THIS MODEL HAD THIS PROBLEM. SO I TOOK IT HOME AND HAVE BEEN DRIVING IT. I AM A HOME DIALYSIS NURSE AND TRAVEL QUITE FREQUENTLY TO PATIENT'S HOMES WHO DEPEND UPON ME WHEN THEY ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THEIR DIALYSIS TREATMENTS. WELL, NEEDLESS TO SAY, I WAS WORKING LATE AND COMING HOME ON A MAIN HIGHWAY PM 03/31/2016 AND IT HESITATES TO SHIFT WHEN MERGING AND SHAKES. I WAS ALMOST HIT FROM BEHIND BUT LUCKY IT FINALLY ENGAGED AND I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER IN A NEARBY PARKING LOT. I CALLED MY TOYOTA DEALER AND TOLD THEM AND THEY WENT ON TO SAY WELL WE THEN HAVE TO REPLACE THE ECM ETC. I TOLD THEM ABOUT MY SEARCH REGARDING THE PROBLEMS WITH THIS MODEL AND THEY PUT THE MANAGER ON THE LINE. I TOLD HIM ABOUT BY RESEARCH ETC. HE SAID HE WOULD THEN FIND PARTS FROM A DISCARDED RAV 4. NOW I AM WITHOUT A CAR, WHICH WILL AFFECT THE LIVES OF MY PATIENT'S, AND HOW RELIABLE WILL IT BE IF THEY ARE GOING TO THE JUNK YARD FOR PARTS TO REPAIR IT. PLEASE HELP ME.

OUR TOYOTA 2013 RAV4 HAD A SUDDEN ACCELERATION. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE GAS PEDDLE SUDDENLY DROPPED TO THE FLOOR, AND THE RPM'S WENT FROM 3-8 INSTANTLY. UPON BRAKING, THE ACCELERATOR WENT BACK TO NORMAL, BUT AS SOON AS THE BRAKE WAS RELEASED, THE PROBLEM IMMEDIATELY HAPPENED AGAIN. AT THIS POINT, THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED AGAIN, AND THE CAR WAS PULLED OVER. THE CAR WAS SHUT OFF, THEN RESTARTED. AT THIS POINT THE CAR DROVE NORMAL FROM THEN ON.

THE "POWER BRAKE ACTUATOR" WENT OUT ON MY 2013 TOYOTA RAV-4 THREE TIMES WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE. EVERY TIME THIS HAPPENED, ALL OF THE WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH BOARD WOULD COME ON. AT THE SAME TIME ALL OF THE GAUGES INCLUDING THE SPEEDOMETER, THE VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL, ANTI LOCK BRAKES, TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM AND POWER STEERING WOULD ALL STOP WORKING ON THE VEHICLE. THIS WOULD MAKE IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO STOP OR CONTROL THE VEHICLE WHAT SO EVER.

"BLIZZARD PEARL BISQUE" PAINT PEELING BETWEEN THE WINDSHIELD AND THE SUNROOF. PAINT IS COMING OFF IN LARGE PIECES THE SIZE OF SILVER DOLLARS. PAINT "BLISTERS" FIRST THEN JUST FALLS OFF THE ROOF OF THE CAR. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN THERE FOR THE BETTER PART OF THE YEAR AND SEEMS TO HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE CAR BEING STATIONARY, IN MOTION - OR THE ENVIRONMENT. IT HAS BEEN PARKED IN THE SAME PLACES THAT MY PRIOR TOYOTAS HAVE BEEN PARKED, AND THIS PROBLEM HAS NEVER OCCURRED BEFORE. MY WIFE AND I HAVE SEEN THIS PROBLEM, WITH THIS COLOR PAINT ON OTHER RAV4S, PRIUS, AND LEXUS MODELS.

WHILE BACKING OUT OF MY GARAGE, SATURDAY 12/12/15, MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE, SUDDENLY THE ENGINE SPEEDED UP RADICALLY AND I SPED BACKWARD TO THE END OF MY DRIVE. I BRAKED AND SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL AND SWITCHED OFF THE ENGINE. IT STOPPED AND UPON RESTARTING, WAS OK. THIS COULD BE DEADLY IF IT HAPPENED IN TRAFFIC.

MANUFACTURER: TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NO. (VIN): XXXXXXX. BOUGHT A TOYOTA CERTIFIED AT DEALERSHIP, (PUSH BUTTON) HOWEVER IN SIX OCCASIONS, CAR ENGINE WOULD NOT TURN ON. INDICATOR LIGHT FOR STEERING WAS ON. AFTER SEVERAL TRIES, AND ONCE I PULLED THE STEERING HARD THEN CAR STARTED FINE. TOOK CAR TO DEALER TO CHECK IT, THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH CAR. THE LAST TIME, THE CAR DID NOT START EVEN WITH THE TOYOTA ROAD ASSISTANCE STAFF/TOWING, WAS UNABLE TO GET IT OUT OF GARAGE, AREA WAS TOO LOW. ENDED UP LEAVING CAR AT GARAGE OVERNIGHT. NEXT DAY, I RETURNED THE CAR, DID A TRADE IN FOR NEW TOYOTA. HOWEVER, DEALER OR TOYOTA CO. DID NOT ADMIT PROBLEMS WITH CAR. BATTERY WAS FUNCTIONING FINE AS EVERYTHING ELSE WOULD TURN ON, IE, RADIO, AC ..FAN, LIGHTS.

ON AT LEAST 5 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS SINCE OWNING THIS TOYOTA RAV4 I HAVE EXPERIENCED A SERIOUS ENGINE CONTROL PROBLEM. IT HAPPENS IN THE ECONOMY MODE OF THE CAR WHICH IS THE DEFAULT MODE YOU START THE CAR UP IN. WHAT HAPPENS IS WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC AND YOU PUSH DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR TO GET FAST SPEED TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC THE ENGINE STALLS. YOU CAN HAVE THE ACCELERATOR PUSHED ALL THE WAY DOWN AND THE ENGINE GIVES YOU NO POWER. THIS CREATES A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION ON THE ROAD AS MY CAR IS ACTUALLY STALLING WHEN IT SHOULD BE ACCELERATING. I HAVE TESTED AND DONE THE SAME THING IN THE 'SPORT MODE' OF THE VEHICLE AND IT DOES NOT CREATE THE SAME STALL SITUATION. THUS MY CONCLUSION IS THE PROBLEM RESTS IN THE 'ECONOMY MODE'. I HAVE ASKED THE DEALER ABOUT THIS AND THEY SAY THEY DO NOT KNOW WHY. I AM GOING BACK TOMORROW TO AS THEM TO TAKE BACK THIS CAR, AS IT IS DANGEROUS AND IS NOT PREDICTABLE OR DEPENDABLE IN DRIVING.

CLUNKING NOISE COMING FROM THE STEERING COLUMN WHEN MAKE LEFT OR RIGHT TURNS AT LOW AND HIGH SPEEDS. DEALERSHIP INSPECTED MY CAR, EVEN TEST DROVE WITH ONE OF THE MECHANICS, AND THEY CLAIM THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING AFTER SEVERAL APPOINTMENTS AND INSPECTIONS. FINALLY, THEY SAID IT'S SOMETHING WITH MY STEERING AND HAVE YET TO FULLY DIAGNOSE AND FIX THE PROBLEM. A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH AND YOU'LL FIND MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND LITTLE HELP FROM THE DEALERSHIP.

I WAS PUTTTING AIR IN A FLAT TIRE IN MY DRIVEWAY WHEN THERE WAS A LOUD BANG AND THE TIRE COLLASPED. I LOOKED AT THE TIRE ( BRIDGESTONE DUELER H/T 687 235/55R18 DOT # EL7CCFH5012) AND SAW A 12 INCH RIP IN THE SIDEWALL. THE EXPLOSION CAUSED A FENDER BRACKET TO BREAK AND CRACKED MY FRONT BUMPER. I SENT IT BACK TO MFGR. AND THEY SAID THE TIRE WAS NOT DEFECTIVE AND DENIED REQUEST FOR COMPENSSATION FOR MY DAMAGES AND TIRE REPLACEMENT.

BEFORE MY 2013 RAV4 LIMITED WAS EVEN 2 YEARS OLD, I DISCOVERED AN INDOOR SWIMMING POOL ON MY PASSENGER FLOOR. MY DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THAT MY RAV4 HAD A CLOGGED SUNROOF DRAINAGE TUBE, BUT WHEN I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP WE FOUND ALL EVIDENCE TO THE CONTRARY. THE SERVICE MANAGER REMOVED TWO PIECES OF TRIM: ONE THAT SITS DIRECTLY BENEATH THE A-PILLAR (WHERE THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THE WATER TRAVELLED) AND ANOTHER THAT SITS BACK UNDERNEATH MY DASH AND GLOVE BOX. BOTH TRIM PIECES HAD PADDING (JUST LIKE THE CARPET PADDING) ON THE BACK SIDE. THE PADDING BENEATH THE A-PILLAR WAS BONE DRY. THE PADDING UNDERNEATH THE DASH WAS DAMP. PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME HOW WATER TRAVELING DOWN THE A-PILLAR MANAGED TO MAKE A 90 TURN??? THE DEALERSHIP DID NOTHING BUT CLEAR THE "SUPPOSED" CLOG AND ASK IF I WANTED TO HAVE THE CARPETS AIR-DRIED FOR 24 HOURS. THEY MADE IT SOUND LIKE THEY DID ME SUCH A GREAT FAVOR ON THE INVOICE AND ALSO LIKE I WAS LEAVING THE HOSPITAL AGAINST DOCTORS ORDERS. WHAT THEY FAIL TO MENTION IS THAT A) I HAD ALREADY HAD THE CARPET PADDING AIR-DRIED THE DAY BEFORE AND B) I REQUESTED THAT THEY REPLACE MY CARPET PADDING AND REAPPLY THE BLACK RUBBER SOUNDPROOFING MATERIAL ATTACHED TO MY FLOORBOARD (THEY DECLINED). IN HINDSIGHT, NEITHER WOULD HAVE FIXED THE DAMAGE ALREADY INFLICTED UPON MY VEHICLE. BOTH TOYOTA OF NORTH AMERICA AND NCDS DECLINED MY CASE CLAIMING THAT MY "VEHICLE IS OPERATING AS DESIGNED." I HAVE A NEW CAR THAT IS DRY ROTTING, MOLDING, AN ELECTRICAL FIRE RISK (PAGE 409 OF THE 2013 RAV4 OWNER'S MANUAL) AND IF IT THE WATER ACTUALLY DID RUN DOWN THE A-PILLAR MY TAKATA SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS ARE NOW PRIMED TO THROW SHRAPNEL -- BUT MY VEHICLE IS OPERATING AS DESIGNED!!! IF YOU OWN A 2013 OR 2014 RAV4, PLEASE CHECK UNDER YOUR CARPETS FOR SIGNS OF A WATER LEAK. IF YOU FIND A WATER LEAK IN YOUR RAV4, PLEASE POST IT HERE.
