I just purchased a used 2013 RAV4 EV with 22,000 miles for 18900 - they gave me a free year of maintenance- I also turned in my leased Prius where they paid the final month of the lease - and they gave me a new set of all weather door and cargo mats. Oh yes and a sunshade. I might have been...

That is kind of how it was for me- first once I had filled up with Electric Charge and was full, then it would drop to low while I drove away from the charging station- it was about a month after that incident that I had the check EV message show up!

This thing of the electric range showing low even though it wasn't happened to me about a month before the Check EV message showed up. I wonder if it is similar to other peoples experience.

Yes a 2012. And I'm happy now to be back in a regular Prius with navigation and backup camera features

Trade not so good only 25k Too hard to charge up car in rental situation. And it's my only car. So when I want to go on a long trip have to get a rental. At the dealer now

Ok I finally have decided that I think I should trade out the rav4ev for a hybrid Camry

the Gateway ECU came in sooner than they expected, mine was replaced today :)

Wow - and they said that there are others that have been waiting for some time for that same part- so even though they project in February, I probably will get mine until after that- Hope all goes well for your repairs!

Another update on mine - The service dept told me that they had to order a Gateway Computer for my car = and one other one has been waiting for one since Dec 8th - that one gets the first Gateway computer that comes to the service dept . . .

Looks like my charging issue has to do with the Gateway Computer- the service dept put one on order for me.

My RAV4EV has been in the shop for a week- and they recently opened a case to have the Toyota Engineers to take over on the issue - last week, I had the Check EV system Go to Dealer Immediately message- and went to the dealer- the message disappeared, so they said to drive it around to see if...

Thanks - will call them maybe on Thursday ? Just called the service person again- and now waiting for him to call me back :) hoping for some good news :) Update. They did give me a rental. They agreed to give me one day for free and then see from there. As of yesterday still not sure what to...

Thanks- a friend of mine suggested that I ask to speak to a service manager- the dealer (stevens creek toyota) told me that they have no loaner cars and that all they can offer are rental cars at a lower price than "normal" - whatever that means! I keep checking my entune app to see if they...

What is the phone number to call - for my situation, they are still planning to diagnose the problem, which they haven't done yet- the Toyota service dept I went to is very busy due to the holidays. They said they plan to look at my car tomorrow. Another day without a car (the RAV4 EV is my...

so I got this message for the first time today after charging my car. I called to see if the service dept was open and they were and i drove it there- they had no appts available today. the message disappeared and they decided to tell me to just keep driving it and see if the message appears...
