I picked it up from Toyota this evening and of course there was no fault/system indication. I guess it sounds louder but that may be because all I have been talking with people about is motor faults/bearing issues etc.
A sad end to a “frankencar” and a cautionary tale to all RAV 4 EV owners. Wisdom gained? Sale ASAP if you are outside of extended warranty or you will by in the situation I am in with you realizing 0 - blue book value.
Car has been fantastic. Check EV System warning came on while on highway. Took car immediately to dealership. Put in new front suspension this year (bushings,control arms). Car has been used as a commute vehicle 43 miles one way every day. Awesome until now.
My 2012 RAV4 EV has reached end of service at 115,000 miles. An EV Fault warning lead to a 14.5k$ estimate from Toyota for a motor replacement. The dealership has offered 500$ for the car. I loved that car but there is no justifying spending on the motor replacement with a 6 yr old battery.
