Update to claim #11233589: After going back to the dealership a second time because oil continued to climb up the dip stick, the service dept found that you cannot put more than 4.6 quarts into the Rav4. The factory put in 5 quarts, and the dealership also put in 5 quarts at the first appt. The problem has now been solved since the correct amount of oil in now in the car.

At this time there at least 24 complaint about a "lurching" problem at low speed and re acceleration. A very significant "lurching" almost"stalling" is very apparent as the complaints indicate. In addition, the transmission starts in 4th gear...not 1st gear from a dead stop. I would consider this a safety issue. Has been an issue from day 1 of car purchase. Vehicle now has 5600 miles on it.

1. transmission sudden jerking/shifting when slowing down in city at traffic lights then trying to accelerate anywhere from 5-10 mph will then jerk backwards then forwards making the car jump about 10 inches forward. Can be replicated at any time. 2. cars front end suspension seems to squeak/groan will pulling into my bank or drive way, almost any unleveled pavement. This happens at lower speeds when I can hear it with very little wind noise. 3. my seat in the vehicle broke at 7,000 miles. 4. my brakes sound as if the rotors are bent with slight vibration in the brake pedal. 5. no fix for transmission. Today they are reflashing the PCM - powertrain control module. We'll see if that will fix the issue but I highly doubt it from the damage that has already occurred. I am working with Toyota corporate with the issue.

Purchased auto 3/20/19 and at that time oil appeared to be right at mark on dipstick. A month later noticed the oil level rising. Took Rav4 back to dealer 7/5/19 and had new oil and filter installed and dipstick set at proper mark. Dealer felt it was probably overfilled at factory. However, on 7/20/19 the oil is now 1/2 inch above the mark set by the dealer on 7/5. concerned this might be problematic for all ravs. Will be contacting dealer again for possible resolution.

While driving down I-25 South of denver, co in heavy traffic at 75 mph, the engine abruptly shut off. I suddenly had no engine power, power brakes or power steering. Luckily I was able to coast to the shoulder, but came close to hitting or being hit by several vehicles. When we made it to the shoulder all the warning lights and messages were appearing on the dash. After letting the car sit a few minutes I restarted it, and it did run, though all the warning lights were still on. There was a dealership 9 miles from my location, so I slowly made my to arapahoe Toyota. They ran a diagnostic and said that something caused the fuel to be shut off to the engine. They did not know why, and could not replicate the problem. They suspect it is an electrical issue as I also found out that the right rear brake light does not work intermittently. Since they could not replicate the problem, and had no loaner cars, they essentially told me to come back the following Monday and hope for the best in the meantime. Since I was heading to vacation this is impractical, so I was stuck driving a car I'm afraid to drive. My next step is I am taking the vehicle to the nearest dealership in fort collins, co, and tell them what happened and that I want the issue resolved, the brake light electrical issue fixed, and be assured that the car is safe. I've never had a vehicle die while driving like that, let alone one with only 4580 miles. I'm apprehensive about driving the car 26 miles in the mountains to the nearest dealership, and so far Toyota has been no help.

Vehicle makes a grinding/winding/lurching noise while accelerating, braking and during normal driving. Problem gets worse every day.

Vehicle will not accelerate when pushing down on the gas pedal. This can occur when leaving a parking place or. From a traffic light. The engine does not stop running. It has only happened three times, but could cause an accident. The Toyota dealer could not duplicate this at the 5000 mile inspection and there are no codes set nor does it set a check engine light when it happens.
