  1. 4.5 RAV4 Prime
    Hello, I have a 2021 Prime which was great until a few months ago when I had a minor collision and damaged the grill, driver's side headlight, and front door. Some electronics were also impacted (on the driver's side). After getting the car back from the shop about 6-weeks after the accident, I...
  2. 4.5 RAV4 Hybrid (except Prime)
    I am replacing the battery in my vehicle, and when I pulled it out I noticed a wire that was sitting free next to the negative terminal. Following it back it comes from the Final Coat Electromatic Corrosion Device. My assumption is that it is supposed to be connected to the 14mm bolt on the...

  4. 4.5 RAV4 Prime
    Hello fellow RAV4 owners, I'm contemplating the practical usage of the battery in my RAV4 PRIME. I have several devices I'd like to power during my trips, and I'm hoping to gather insights on whether or not I can rely solely on the car’s battery. Has anyone used the trunk outlet for powering a...

    Here is my current issue with my 1999 rav 4 In the middle of last month my car was giving me issues with its battery since it was leaking and swelled up.

    Hi guys I’m at a loss. My 2009 SR180 2.2 4wd-d RAV4 is running fine. However twice today my dashboard pinged and a very brief message flashed on and off within seconds stating “check battery”. It happened again after driving another 8 mins or so. No other warnings lights have lit or permanently...

    I'm not exactly sure what this wire is called but it apparently relays into the fuse box in the engine compartment. It's the wire that sits on top of positive terminal. I drove my car to work no issues and when I went to leave I realized the battery seemed dead. Long story short I noticed this...

    Hey everyone, New Rav4 owner here, in a little bit of a pickle. I purchased a 2020 Rav4 XLE with 27k miles, single owner, no accidents about 2 weeks ago. Haven't had any problems with it at all up until this week when I decided I was going to try doing some modifications. Please keep in mind...
  11. 4.5 RAV4 Hybrid (except Prime)
    From the Toyota website, there seems to be two different types of batteries used for the 2023 Rav4 Hybrid, depending on the Trim. The XSE shows a Li-ion at 259.0V. Both the XLE and the Woodland show a Ni-MH at 244.8V. That surprises me. Does anyone know the improvements that might be found...

In the morning there is no problem with the first start, but when I leave the car for 2 minutes After just hear a click and have to hold the key for 10-15 seconds, and then the engine starts.

    Car: Rav4 LE 2020. Issue: 12V battery dead after forgetting the lights on overnight - completely dead no power whatsoever. Recharged it but now the fobs are not working. Should I reconfigure that? Could it be a fuse issue? Thanks!
  14. 4.4 RAV4 Hybrid
    Over the past 7-8 months, my MPG has gone from about 38 to less than 32. I fill up from the same stations, and my driving habits have not changed. The decrease has been gradual, going down to 36 for a while, then 34, and now 32 or less. I have contacted my dealer to see what kind of testing...

    Hi My friend's 2019 Rav4. Problem: The AC blows only through the main cabin. At first dealership claimed this was normal. After going a second time and insisting, then dealership changed their story saying that they had to 'reprogram' something and that it was caused by the alarm system...

    2008 RAV4 Limited, fully loaded, ~150k miles, runs pretty well... Yesterday morning, I went out to start my car and it was turning over and over and over but the engine never kicked on. The battery seemed to have a charge as it wasn't "clicking" like it was dead. Note: battery was replaced...
