    Car won't charge / Onboard Charger Failure

    It’s an issue on many of the ravs I’m surprised they never had a recall... it’s been a while so I don’t remember if there was one or not. Glad I made it through my lease as I had issues at like 30k miles and ended up with 75 k miles. Was easily past warranty. Happy to be done with that car.

    Car won't charge / Onboard Charger Failure

    You mean they won’t honor the recall on it? Or was there never a recall? This has happened to a ton of cars I can’t believe they want to charge you. That’s why I got rid of mine toyota and Tesla don’t work very well together.

    Lease Return Questions

    Just had my inspection, he said just several little scratches and couple minor dings... but arent those part of normal wear and tear? I also have a small crack on windshield. I know Safelite can fix it for around $70. I am just wondering, with all the headaches these cars have given us, with...

    Sell now or at end of lease

    regarding the Mirai, I would max out that free fuel thing in less than 2 years with the driving I do.. and spending $8000 per year on gas would be a little cost prohibitive for me. I know cost should go down in those 3 years, but EV is way better option. Maybe its time for me to visit CarMax to...

    Tire replacement...anyone have originals for sale?

    Ok I found the Yokohama tires used online for around 200 for 4 with 8-9/33 tread.. Will do for next 10 months. Is there a tire which gives car better range? I read people complain about the noise from these tired but my main concern is range. I also found Bridgestone dueler for about same...

    Sell now or at end of lease

    So if I want to sell my Rav4 whose lease ends in 10 months, I probably need to wait until month or so before to sell to you since otherwise $1000 over residual wont cover my 10 months X 476?? ;) I'd love to unload my car instead of returning it, but I think residual is around $16000 and I am...

    Lease returns

    let me know how yours goes, I am done in 10 months, so probably have someone come out to inspect it in 9 months. Also have small crack on windshield and right side view mirror turn signal clear case broke and needs to be replaced. Dealership quoted me $80.

    Tire replacement...anyone have originals for sale?

    So I am at 56,000 miles and have two nails in my rear tires. Toyota says they cannot replace them because tread is at 4/32 and one is in an unpatchable location. Anyone have 2 tires they can unload? I can even take all 4 as they said my fronts are also at 4/32. Thanks G

    Car won't charge / Onboard Charger Failure

    Sounds familiar... Mine did the same thing.. First fix didn't work, second Fix finally solved the issue. I haven't had any charging issues since that last fix, been about 17,000 miles... One more year left on the lease... Wonder if these cars are worth anything at least end with all these...

    RECALL: going into neutral / Speed Sensor failure

    Yah that's why I went with the RAV4...but it's not been nice to me either.... Maybe the latest repair will be the last, keep fingers crossed.

    RECALL: going into neutral / Speed Sensor failure

    So the tesla cars have this many issues as well? Even if so, it seems like they repair the issues faster. Do Leaf's have all these issues? Any of the other evs? Just seems like the hybrids like Prius are better tested and more reliable at this point. Maybe in 5-10 years the EV will reach this...

    RECALL: going into neutral / Speed Sensor failure

    A used model S or new model 3? Definitely not with a brand new tesla costing $70000. I have done the calculations. At current gas prices I am looking at around $115 per month in gas. I can probably buy a used Prius for around 10-12K...drive for three years and sell for around $5000...I don't...
