We have had our RAV4 EV since March of 2013, 73k miles and zero issues so far. Wife LOVES this car and wants to keep driving it as long as possible.
I do suspect our drive unit may need replacing as its a bit loud, perhaps due to motor bearing on the way out, not sure.
We are in Colorado and our (Toyota) extended warranty expires in March 2020.
Im wondering if we can get the car diagnosed (possibly get motor replaced) locally, or if we should just ship it to a CA dealer and have them do whatever work needs to be done before the warranty expires. We do have a third car that my wife can drive while her RAV4 is in service, so if we need to ship it to a CA dealer and wait however long for for proper service, that is fine.
Thoughts? Suggestions? TIA
