Still rolling in the Seattle area! In fact just ordered new set of tires! MICHELIN X-TOUR A/S 2 225/65R17 102H She's got just over 76K miles, still on the original motor :O (it refused to whine during all the years I had a warranty!) Did all the other changes including cabin heater and had...

Thank you Tony! quick question... how much would your shop change for a coolant replacement? long story... I have been using test strips for over a year since I read one of your suggestions. The values are still in the "ok" range and I have never lost any level with either of them. I love...

Hello, This is of immediate interest to those living in WA state and could be interesting to other states' residents. This is to invite you to sign a petition to support a bill for clean cars, and spread the word – ideally before this Monday, 2/10, when the bill will have a hearing in Olympia...

I'm late to this thread... but I'll add my $0.02 These cars can be the source of some character building adventures. My last one was that I let the Entune Membership expire... bad mistake... You'd think that calling back and updating credit card information, see charge go through would fix...

I think mine is on the original unit (bought used with 27K, now at almost 50K) Does anyone have a recording of what the noise sounds like? I don't hear anything that sounds particularly worrisome... but I'm not sure what I'm looking for either.

awesome, thank you!

For a while now I've noticed that closing the last door in the car is more difficult unless there's a window open. This often leads to the door not closing well and the person closing it opening and slimming the door hard. : / After trying a few things I think what's happening is that as the...

Thank you. that's very helpful. I'll go back in and try to find it and see if it's disconnected... I think I see that in the pictures, I didn't know to look under that hose.

I was listening to that podcast too and that also caught my attention! I kept listening to hear where that person was located... it was colorado. "Toyota electric SUV... plugged in and 2 yellow lights came on...." sounds familiar!

I found a couple of pictures online but wasn't able to find a matching part on my rav. I removed the 12V battery, the plastic base it sits on and the metal frame THAT sits on (held by 4 bolts). I didn't find any plug that looked like the big square plug and I couldn't find anything that looked...

I got my rav4ev 2nd hand and it has never made a low speed noise. I remember reading references that there is a low speed noise maker. Does anybody have instructions or information on how to check if mine has one and how to enable it? Is this something relatively accessible for end users or is...

Good idea... I didn't think there were 2019s, but now that I looked there are. I wasn't thinking about a lease but this may be an interesting option... thanks! They are also available here in WA and with the $7,500 credit they end up in the mid 20s. Still about 10K more than a used one but...

We currently use a Rav4EV as our main commuter. Next month we'll be needing a second commuter which will mean wife gets the RAV4 and I need a new commuter. I'm sold on EVs and I think the best choice for us is an >200 miles EV SUV that we can hitch a bike rack to... which probably points to a Y...

thanks... good to know that it's 'about right'...

Mine is showing 90max (without heater on)… i'm wondering if the range loss is the cold or if the battery is wearing out... In the summer I think I saw up to 110...
