On my 3rd motor and my 2nd battery pack and car died on me while passing a logging truck on the way into work. Luckily, I was going fast enough at the time to still pass and then pull off to the side of the road. Dreaded Check EV System warning. This is really frustrating.

Took my Rav4 to the dragstrip a couple of weeks ago just to see what it could do. Made four passes. The quickest was 15.33 secs at 89 mph for the 1/4 mile. Tried with and without traction control. Without traction control got too much wheel spin, even with new Continental Control tires. The...

Did anybody see the attached article: (http://chargedevs.com/newswire/misleading-lexus-ad-trashes-plug-ins/ Toyota's at it again.

I walked into the garage the other day and heard a fan noise. At first I thought the cat had turned something on, but then realized it was coming from the Rav. This is the first time I have heard a fan during the daytime when my car is not charging. It ran continuously. This only happened...

My brakes recently started making a klunking noise when stopping from speeds above 30 mph about 40 to 50% of the time. Then when I take off they klunk again. Anybody else notice this? My Rav4 has abouth 30,800 miles on it and this started about a month or so ago. I'm taking it in for service...

Well it happened. Got rear-ended last Thursday after work on westbound Hwy 50 by Watt Avenue. Stop and go traffic, got hit by a young girl in an older 4-Runner at about 5 miles an hour. Damaged the bumper and the lower right corner of the swing out door. Took the car to Folsom Lake Toyota...

So I'm listening to Pandora in my Rav4 EV. I park, turn the car off and plugin. I walk into the house and my phone starts playing the Pandora station I was listening to in the car. I turn off the bluetooth and it still continues to play. I turn off my wifi and it still continues to play! I...

Was at the Sacramento Electric Vehicle Auto Association meeting last week. The SMUD (utility) representative told a horror story where someone in South Sacramento installed two 40 amp EVSE in their garage without talking to SMUD and fried the subdivisions transformer and associated powerline...

Had my Rav4 in for it's first service. Complained about the timer and had em listen to the whine from 50 to 65 mph. They test drove another Rav4 EV and said the whine was about the same. They called Toyota also and were told the sound is in the design, so I'll just see if it gets any louder...

Okay Everybody. When you get home and plug in your Rav4, hit the charge immediately button and let the rav charge for a couple of minutes. Then unplug the J1772 and turn the car on and then off. Then plug it back in with the charge timer set. So Far when I've done this the timer starts...

Went out for a walk this afternoon and low and behold there's a white pearl Rav4 EV just like mine in my offices parking lot. Mines in the back charging. This is the first one I've seen around Rancho Cordova. My office is on Sun Center Drive. Anybody on the forum own it. :)

Okay. Decided to take a little exploration trip after church. Rav4 was charged up to 100% and the range indicator showed 127 miles. Headed up Highway 4 from our house to see how far we could make and still make it back. Did 50 to 55 mph until the last 20 miles or so, then did 45 mph, as...

Drove the Rav4 to church yesterday and charged it to full when we got back. The wife was going to use the vehicle today to deliver some flowers from her flower shop, so I decided to disconnect the J1772 plug, so she wouldn't have to. When I went out to get in our LEAF early this morning, the...
