    What are the longest lasting brake pads that produce a smooth brake(if that’s a thing) for a 2016 Rav4hLXE?
  2. 4.5 Exterior
    Hello, I just changed my front and rear brake pads however the rear ones didn’t go perfectly. I tried to put the caliper in maintenance mode, but it was already off the housing. Once I put it in maintenance the piston kept coming out, but I managed to keep it in without having to bleed the...
  3. 4.2 Faults & Fixes
    Hello, Today I had to make a hard brake because a truck driver decided not to use his blinkers when making a turn, shortly after that the red brake alert on my dash came on, I pulled over and noticed that my brake fluid was empty and there was a consistent leak coming from the rear driver side...

    Hey all. I've been going through all the posts and videos I can but can't seem to find a fix... hoping to avoid a trip to the dealership. Wife needed the brake pads on her 2019 RAV4 Limited changed. Front pads were easy. Thought the rears would be just as easy, but I found out there are some...

    Hey, all Very happy owner of a new-to-me Limited Hybrid. I have been a lurker as it took me quite some time to find the perfect Rav and know what to look for. I really appreciate this community! Dealer and I are having a little dispute and I need a reality check: Dealership noticed...

    Brake pads/rotors were replaced less than a year ago and have been lubed recently but car won't stop squealing and grinding when braking at low speeds. Hard braking is jerky and rough. 2wd and 4 cylinder- any ideas?
  7. 4.3 Mechanical
    the brakes still technically work, but the pedal will often go to the floor for a complete stop if you let go of brake for a second, then push it back down, it will firm up, regardless of speed, but will become spongy again after firm when car off, sinks when turning car on at full stop, brake...
  8. 4.4 RAV4 Hybrid
    my 2018 with 68,000km or 42250mi has issues with the rotors. I have the usual indicator (vibration) of rotor replacement or resurfacing for my front rotors. Can anyone advise if this is a common thing? Is it a failing of Toyota with this model? I only do hwy mountain driving with this vehicle. I...
  9. 4.4 General
    For about three years now, I've been trying to find a problem on this 2014 rav4 and am stumped. I'm not seeing anything that seems to be a danger so I've wanted to solve it on my own before bringing it to a dealer. I'm at the point where I'm about to bring it in for an assessment but I'm not...

  13. 4.2 Faults & Fixes
    So I've had some problems with my brakes I've been overlooking since they worked fine, but I decided to break the calipers down and paint them with some vht and replace the seals. Job took a few days and the front lines bled dry. I rebuilt everything, (Caliper piston boot retainer wasn't on...

    Hey ladies and gents, I'm looking for some info on how to reset the computer on my 2020 Rav 4. I replaced the rear pads and rotors on the vehicle and it was my first time working with an electronic parking brake; I disabled the electronic parking brake to remove the old pads and rotors and upon...

    Got rear-ended 3 days after I got my car... It went to the shop and came back and after that, the brakes have been making a weird farting noise that sounds like air is quickly escaping the brakes. I found a video from Reddit that shows the exact sound: Please let me know if this is a bigger...

    Replaced just the fronts (waiting for the 'Rack) to get the correct rear disks. I will need to take photos of them (just burnished them in). Looking forward to towing my SeaDoo next year. I will (weather permitting) install the rear set next weekend. The stopping power seems a little better...
  17. 4.2 Faults & Fixes
    Hi there, I have a RAV 2002mod which I just bought. Previous owner had not used it for some years, unknown why. The car is struggling with its brakes. I have changed the rear brakes, front are ok. I have refilled the brake fluid and aired the system. Still, when putting pressure on the brake...

    The title say RAV4.3 but this could apply to any generation, any Toyota and maybe most vehicles With 100K on my 2012 RAV4 Limited, it was time to flush the brake lines and put in new fluid. I've done this in the past with other vehicles and other Toyotas - frequently using the 2-person method -...

    Hey Everyone! This is awesome. I’ve never posted in a forum before lol. But anyway, I have a 2012 limited edition RAV4 6cyl 4wd. It has 80k now. I got the front brakes replaced fine, but the rear back left had worn down not the right. I remember my dad having an issue where this was making a...
  20. 4.5 RAV4 Hybrid (except Prime)
    Yesterday I was coming back from a hike, coming down from one of the mountains. At first I thought it was the car in front of me, but when he left the road I still smelled burning brakes. The road is too steep to coast or let the engine brake it, so I have to use the brakes. I've never had a...
