I think there is a fourth scenario. RAV4 ICE standard things that are covered by warranty. My key fobs are not recognized after start-up on one of my RAV4 EVs when I place the fob in the cup holder. I get an error message on the dash. I have replaced the batteries and still have the issue. My other RAV4 EV does not have the issue when placing the key in the cupholder. Is that something we would bother the authorized field engineer with?
I got new snow tires, wheels and sensors. Discount Tire has been unable to get the sensors to "pair/register" with my RAV4 EV so I decided to try the local Toyota dealer (Schaumburg, Illinois).
I was met by the whole management staff in the service department and they flat out told me they have been instructed they cannot WORK on this car. I told them I was willing to pay for the service and they said NO.
After a lot of whining (and embarrassing them), the manager finally agreed to call the Field Tech to see if the sensor setup was somehow special. During the call, the FT apparently allowed them to do the procedure (projected to cost $58).
After an hour of working on it, they said they could not register the sensors. They COULD read the wheel sensors with their tool. So they said they were incompatible. They did not charge me for the time.
