Hey Rav4 team! I have a low "bur burrr" noise coming from the engine area when I maintain speed between 30-45 mph and around 1500-2000 rpm. I can press down on the gas pedal and accelerate out of the rumbling. It does not occur at highway speeds. It isn't easy to reproduce, but I do think it's...

Hello 2003 Rav, sport edition, 4wd, manual. Driven cross country a few times. Into places no other car owned has gone, and with a mini camper. Call it the 'Beast'. Nothing it can't or hasn't done.

Had an odd issue yesterday during a highway trip. About an hour after fueling-up (added 10 gallons) the transmission started slamming whenever I pressed the gas pedal. I noticed that when I took my foot off off the accelerator the EV light would come on for a split second and the vehicle would...

Hey Forum-goers, I had a guy come look to purchase my 2008 V6 Rav4 today and we discovered a new ticking noise. It seems to be coming from the back side of the engine, either the area of the exhaust manifold and such. It's definitely a centralized sound closer to the back right side of the...

Hi. Lately I was getting poor acceleration with my 2006 RAV4 and I noticed the car "hesitating" while accelerating. And today when I drove uphill the engine signal turned on, the SVC signal turned on, and the car refused to accelerate at all, until I powered it off/on. I've seen some friends...
