The last couple of times I charged my 2014 Rav4 EV on my Level 2 charger I was only able to get it to charge up to 72 overnight. In the past I have been getting a charge of about 85-90.

I experienced the same brakes locking, vibration and was told we needed the traction motor assembly replaced. First price Toyota Walnut Creek quoted me was $17,500!!!! I immediately called Toyota Headquarters and after battling with them for almost 3 months while my RAV4 EV set in the Walnut...

Al, Thanks for clarifying that the traction motor is a rebuilt unit. I'm very happy Toyota finally agreed to cover most of the cost and hopefully no one else goes through what we did.

Finally today after almost 2 months of going back and forth with Toyota we finally get our car back with the brand new traction motor. Cost to us $660 after Toyota first quoted $17k then lowered it to $12k and also offered to buy the car back for $500!!!

Toyota will now cover 90% after first telling me warranty has expired, nothing they can do!!

Still going back and forth with Toyota Headquarters USA. They have been insisting since the car's warranty just expired they are not responsible. I told them I will continue to fight this and hand over to a lawyer if Toyota does not cover 100%. Today I receive a phone call from the Toyota...

Here's the link where we saw the recall notice: https://insideevs.com/news/325785/toyota-recalls-all-rav4-evs-to-fix-faulty-tesla-component/ Also, when we called Toyota headquarters, they said there was a recall in 2015 on all RAV4 EV's. You should give Toyota a call.

Thanks for your replies. There was a recall on the traction motor assembly for the 2014 Rav4 EV and I was told they had replaced mine in 2016. I bought the car in 2017. Toyota told me the warranty on the motor they replaced was for 12 months! 5 year Warranty just expired in March!! However, I...

I took it to the Walnut Creek Toyota

So my 2014 Rav4 EV has been vibrating/shaking when I put in reverse or apply some acceleration, once I get going the vibration/shaking goes away. It does not do this all the time. A couple of days ago the car would not shift into drive or reverse and tires locked! The car starts but will not...

I just purchased a 2014 RAV4 EV. I can only get about 82 - 90 on a full charge. I do have a clippercreek level 2 charger installed at our house. Can someone explain how to get a the highest charge possible? Thanks
