So like most of you here, I was very excited to get my RAV4 EV and cruise along on clean energy. I live in Las Vegas And purchased my vehicle from Carmax on Sept. 2015. a little over a week ago the vehicle dies and it turns into a giant brick. With the classic error message ( Check EV system - have your vehicle checked by a dealership immediately ) Then today I'm contacted by my Toyota rep whos located in CA and says they found a damaged cell and the battery needs to be replacement under warranty. At first I was happy that I was getting a new battery since the miles on it are 42K. Then he said I am responsible for shipping the vehicle to the Ontario location and cost. Which completely sucks. I'm on loaner now and need to figure out if it's worth keeping the RAV4 after all said and done or sell it and move on till the tech improves. This is really frustrating,.
