Should we be expecting some updates or other good news tomorrow?

What were the approx dates of the replacements? This sounds exactly like my Model S. The original drive unit (May 2013) had a hum under power (even the slightest power and quiet when "neutral" or during re-gen) at highway speeds. I think it was replaced in mid-to-late 2014. That once quickly...

I also received a call in early May, after about 6 months of waiting. Must be part of the large batch. The new drive unit is sooooooo much quieter. It's no longer embarrassing to drive in a quiet neighborhood or a parking lot.

Any news yet? I'm also waiting for Toyota of Palo Alto. If you haven't gotten it yet, I won't even bother inquiring for mine.

I've been waiting since mid-November. My Model S got a replacement in just a few weeks (and that was due to my schedule limitations) within that same period of time.

I checked, but I don't have a sticker under the hood. Hmm... checking out Techtream cables and software...

None of my settings were changed. From what I gather, there is no way to confirm that the work was done.

I understand. You mentioned in your post three years ago that you are willing to share all knowledge. Assuming you have something worth sharing, are you still willing to do so? Thanks!

Hi Tony... Have you had any time to make progress on this effort? I'm not planning to renew the Safety Connect subscription, but would love to see SoC and get charge completion notifications. A data-logging device connected to a hotspot or cellular-tether device would be a perfect solution.

Anyone know how we can verify that the firmware update was applied? From the nav screen, I only see these and they all look unchanged from before the recall work: Software Update: Navigation: VB503102 Bluetooth: 21.210 Gracenote Database Update Ver 03451 [2011-01-1] Map Informaiton Map...

Good luck. I'd like to hear an update of what you find, and maybe photos if you're going to take things apart. Last week, I checked the drain tube and it was definitely not clogged. I emptied two more cans of odor-eliminator through that drain tube in an attempt to flood and flush the...

I bought my RAV4 used, and the interior and HVAC system smelled really bad. I cleaned and shampooed the interior, replaced the floor mats, sprayed Lysol in the fresh-air intake, replaced the cabin air filter, odor-eliminator-bombed the interior, and used a can of odor-eliminator through the...

Thanks eschatfische! Just before reading your post, I saw that button in my own Entunes account and e-mailed the previous owner to see if he can still do that now that I've already "claimed" ownership of the vehicle (I see the car's VIN in my account). I hope so.

I just spent almost an hour on the phone with Toyota to try to get the Safety Connect Contract ID. I talked to three different people, no one knew WTF is a RAV4 EV. And none of them even thought it was possible to remotely check on the charge status. None of them can do anything for me. What do...

Thanks Tony. I definitely like some things about the RAV more than the Model S, but the UI is terrible. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad if I never owned a Model S.
