    Who is currently waiting for a drive unit replacement?

    Picked mine up from the dealer yesterday and wow, what a difference! I was just starting to get to the point where I was getting used to the noise and it bothered me less and less every day, but now that I have a quiet car, I love it. They also replaced the battery coolant pump, but only...

    New RAV4 EV Website Platform

    I think coming up with a valuation for this site is a tricky thing. My guess is that the value of a website is all about the amount of traffic it can generate and eyeballs it has. Unlike other car chat forums (myleaf, tdiclub, etc..) this one has a very low ceiling and unlike the others is a...

    Chevy Bolt

    Hey DrManny, I actually ended up buying a Bolt last week in the exact same configuration as you....premier, Cajun Red, infotainment and Diver confidence package. We were 50/50 on the colour between the red and dark grey. If I had read your post, it might have pushed me to the grey. I'm not...

    Who is currently waiting for a drive unit replacement?

    Just got a call. Mine is in and scheduled to be installed on Wednesday. As an aside, when they originally checked mine in December, it had a "check ev system" light on and it was caused by the battery coolant pump. The tech cleared the code and it hasn't come back. He recommended changing...

    Who is currently waiting for a drive unit replacement?

    Had a field tech come out to Buffalo and confirm noise back in December. Kevin called me in early January to confirm I'll be eligible for a DU replacement despite being (barely) out of warranty. Sound is annoying, but not unbearable. Kevin's replacement (Thorn) has sent me a "hello" email...

    Greetings from Toronto

    Picked up car from dealer yesterday. Check EV system light turned out to be battery coolant pump fault code. Field tech hit it a couple times with a hammer (I assume), and reset the code. Hasn't come back since, but he told me up keep an eye on it and if the light comes back, should probably...

    Greetings from Toronto

    Thanks for the clarification Tony. Tried it, no luck. Light still on. Driving down to buffalo tomorrow to leave it at a dealer there for an assessment. As for the warranty....for some reason I thought it was 3 year/60K. My mistake.

    Greetings from Toronto

    I already swapped out the battery and cycled on/off to try and reset the check EV light with no luck. I might be cycling on/off wrong, but not sure. Should I be turning the car on (with my foot on the brake), or just on so that the instrument panel lights up. Either way, this is still...

    Greetings from Toronto

    Hi guys, after waiting patiently for Toyota to come up with a remedy for the wiper recall (had to wait for all recalls to be fixed before importing it to Canada), I finally jumped on one of these puppies a few weeks ago. Took about 3 weeks or so to work through all the paperwork back and forth...

    km/h, Celsius

    Thanks Devin. I'm thinking about importing one back to Ontario (where it was actually built). I'm still a little worried about the servicing side of things, but I think I'll manage. I imported a LEAF about 2 months ago and can't stop thinking about replacing my other ICE car with an EV. The...

    km/h, Celsius

    Sorry if this seems like a basic question, but can the speedometer and odometer units be changed to km and the temperature to Celsius on all model years (2012-2014)? I'm thinking about importing one to Canada and it's a requirement. Thanks, Steve
