I referred to it as VB503150 because that was the only # on the screen. I have no idea what Toyota calls it. I went to the dealer this morning, but the Service Manager was not in today. I will be going back tomorrow and I will ask him how other RAV4 owners can request or find out about...

I did show my logs to Toyota. My logs document the interruptions I have experienced. They said there is a know issue with the software that is causing my charging issue and they are working on a fix. 3-4 weeks later they provided me with the software update. At this point, Toyota has not...

I am 99% sure the interruptions are a Toyota problem. The interruptions rarely occurred when I Charged Immediately but were happening all the time on the Scheduled Charge.

Hi Dsinned: Sorry for the delayed response....I wanted to test the new update (VB503150) before I reported back. I have charged the car 4 times since getting the update. 2 times with about 12 miles of range left and 2 times with about 45 miles of range left. All four times charging was...

You could very busy that day! Tony, is there any chance that your motor problem was due or made worse because of the towing you were doing?

Based on the display it would appear like it was just a Nav and Bluetooth update. But, according to the Toyota Service Manager, Toyota was aware of the problem and that they have been testing this fix for the past 2-3 weeks. He said I was the first to get it before they issue the Service...

I have an update regarding the Charge Timer Problems. My Dealer updated the software on my car today telling me that this would fix the problems I have been having. It took about 15 minutes to install. They stuck a USB drive with the update in the USB port and went to the setting menu to do a...

Thanks Tony! That helps me understand the motor sound you were hearing. Any chance of posting a video of how your new motor sounds at those speeds and power levels?

Tony: On your YouTube video .... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8LiI5xmDRbw What is the noise at the 2:29 mark? It sounds like static. I am assuming that is not the motor noise you are referring to.

Does anyone know if there is a way to determine what Version of Firmware is installed in your RAV4 EV? It would be great if it showed up somewhere on the central display or via Entune.

HD172 Thanks for asking him. Do have any more specifics? What does soon mean? Did you get the impression he knew a lot about the problem?

Thanks SeaMonster! Is there a way to post the notes that you gave Toyota? I would love to compare them to my notes to see if the bugs and failures are the same. In about 3-4 weeks I will be taking my RAV4 EV in for its 5,000 mile checkup and plan on addressing this issue with my dealer.

SeaMonster, Thanks SO much! I have always gone to the "New and Main Toyota Rav4 EV Forum Discussions" area. I had "tunnel vision" and never realized there was a "Toyota Rav4 EV Owners" Section area. I have a lot of reading to catch up on! I feel a lot better knowing that this is a...

Here are some answers.... 1. Did whomever installed your Leviton charger, make sure to properly ground the unit, as well as insuring your ground goes all the way back to EARTH ground at the main power panel? I think so but I am not 100% sure. 2. Are you making sure that your J1772 connection...

I used to have sporadic (every couple of weeks) problems charging my RAV4 EV. Since late January it has become a constant problem. The main problem is the charging process is getting interrupted at night while using the Leviton 40A Level 2 charger. I have not had any interruptions using the...
