    I don't think I understand.

    Fuel Bars Question

    Well that's bad news. Now she has to not use the car anymore because she drives more than that 50 mi. GOM estimate everyday and it sounds like the battery degradation is the problem. I guess as a final deciding factor, I'll try the Tony test.

    Fuel Bars Question

    Did a little searching in this forum and found that the fuel bar indicator next to the GOM should show all 16 bars when fully charged with either normal or extended charge. Well the story I get from my daughter who now uses the car is that the GOM shows only 50 miles and the fuel bars only show...

    Fuel Door Spring Replacement?

    I took a small coil spring that is about 1 inch long and about 5/8 in diameter and rolled the coil end onto the sheet metal edge just to the left of the black piece in your picture. It sticks straight out and when closed compresses against the door in there that covers the charging plug. It fell...

    RAV4 EV dead DC 12V battery

    QC Charge (Quick Charge Power) did mine. I think it was $2500. Those guys are great. They have RAV4s there from all over the country. They're in the Vista San Marcos area of San Diego County. Your 20K estimate seems low. Toyota estimated mine at 30k and couldn't get the part.

    Who still owns a RAV4 EV?

    I still have a 2014 and it gets used daily. GOM is guessing strangely.

    Repair techs cannot communicate with onboard computer

    ALL POSTS - motor whine or "HUM" (Milling Sound)

    Well...... Toyota is reimbursing us for the cost of the new power unit (motor). We only have to pay labor. He said he's giving us internal labor rate so it's $1200.00 I think. I'm so happy they decided to give us a break. Got it back yesterday and it only took about a week and a half. It's...

    ALL POSTS - motor whine or "HUM" (Milling Sound)

    Thank you very much Tony. I've been thinking about contacting you. I am now waiting to see what our Toyota case will do for us. Probably nothing. I'll be in touch after they let me down.

    ALL POSTS - motor whine or "HUM" (Milling Sound)

    I just got home with the car on a trailer. Dealer said "coolant found in speed sensor housing" I know it didn't have any pending recalls so if that sensor thing was a recall that means it went bad again. I had my wife call the toyota 800 number so she could cry on their shoulder. Maybe we'll...

    ALL POSTS - motor whine or "HUM" (Milling Sound)

    Hello fellow rav4 owners. I just read all these 51 pages and decided I should add my 2 cents. My 2014 has been in Toyota of El Cajon for a couple of weeks now. It was miles from home when after parked for a day it wouldn't go. The ready on the dash wouldn't appear it said something like see...
