The vehicle sat in the garage 3 days and when I tried to start there was no power to the entire vehicle. I tried to jumpstart the vehicle without avail. Call Toyota they sent service vehicle that jumpstart the vehicle and had it run for @ 10 minutes. Shut car off and it would not restart. Vehicle was towed to the Toyota dealership. Per the dealership they had to replace the battery. I refuse to believe that was the issue. The battery is being drained by some other issue. Toyota need to recall these vehicles and fix the issue properly.
Our 2020rav4 hybrid has failed to start twice (5/5/2020 and 12/5/2020) after sitting only 1-2 days in our garage. It required jumping to be recharged. From the cargurus site, this seems to be a common problem with no definite solution yet, perhaps a bad batch of batteries, perhaps a sofrware update needed, or something else? Toyota needs to figure it out and fix it! we don't feel like a new, expensive vehicle can be depended on.
Car would not start after sitting overnight in my garage. Only has 2,200 miles on it. Dashboard lights flickering saying parking brake malfunction and check engine/ other warning lights came on. Seems to be a huge issue from other reviews. Toyota needs a recall or we need to file a class action lawsuit! unacceptable. Looking into ca lemon law.
Battery isn't holding a charge. Temps outside are getting colder but not that cold. Don't drive it on sundays, battery is dead dead on Monday mornings. Drive an average of 30 miles per day. Battery was replaced by dealership and still slow to start in the mornings. Now run it idling for 20 minutes Sunday evening to ensure it starts Monday morning
Our car sat for 2 days without being used and the battery was dead. Read online many other Rav4 owners having similiar issues, something is draining the battery
Car has approx 900 miles and has been to the dealer 3 times and jump started 3 times. Toyota svc dept is unable to reproduce or identify the problem, I was told I'm not driving the car enough and that they can't fix a problem when they don't know what it is, I never know when the car will start or not, very frustrating.
Apple car play isn't working correctly, malfunctioning frequently. It disconnects or stops working randomly, creating a distraction while driving. Either itunes stops playing or navigation disconnects which causes a driver to start fiddling with the apple car play on the display screen and tampering with the mobile device or the wiring between the mobile device and the usb port. This appears to be a software problem. Through doing research online (rav4world and other sites), I have noticed multiple similar complaints from others with this same 2020 xse hybrid model of the Rav4. The only way to correct the issue is to pull over, turn the car off and restart the car, but the issue happens time and time again. The malfunction of this hands-free feature is going to lead to distracted driving as drivers attempt to remedy the problem and will lead to people getting killed due to the manufacturing defect. Please issue a recall immediately.
Smart key malfunction-- 2020 Rav4, purchased may of 2020. First incident: Occurred after vehicle sitting in a parking garage at an airport for 4 days. Came back and vehicle wouldn't start and lights on display panel were flickering. Door locks were malfunctioning, and upon jump starting everything was ok. Took to dealership and was told battery was bad, they replaced battery. Second incident: Occurred after car parked for 11 hours. Vehicle wouldn't start and lights on display panel were flickering again. Door locks were malfunctioning again as well.. have also seen that hundreds of other people are experiencing this same issue.. based off of a google search and research, I am not the only one. Electrical issue or some software malfunction is causing the vehicle to drain its own battery at random time intervals.
Bought a 2020 Toyota Rav4 in early September, but after 1 month it began showing, "battery is charging" frequently. I took the car to the dealership to see what could be wrong. They stated that it is normal. It normally happens when you apply the brakes and the message will be shown on the dashboard, "battery is charging". I plan in taking the car again to the dealership to get this resolved, since I know for a fact it is the battery that it's malfunctioning.
The contact owns a 2020 Toyota Rav4. The contact stated while the vehicle was at the car wash, the brake warning lights illuminated. The contact drove the vehicle home. A month later after the vehicle failed to start-up, and the vehicle was towed to modern Toyota of boone (225 modern drive, boone nc, 28607, (828) 263-5437) to be diagnosed. The mechanic stated that the failure was due to low battery voltage. The battery was recharged and the failure was fixed. The manufacturer was not contacted or notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 3,023.
This is a specific concern for the battery/electric system that appears to be very prevalent.. in the 3 months since buying my 2020 Toyota Rav4 limited hybrid (June 20, 2020)-I've had to have my car jumped twice due to a dead battery. At first, I thought there might be something I was not doing correctly. However, after reading the comments on several sites it appears that this is a very common issue. The car had been driven the day before each time and would not start the next morning. The service person who came out to jump it the second time said that he gets a lot of calls for these new cars. The second time it also lost my parking assist on the backup camera along with the last radio setting. Unfortunately- taking it to the dealer has not worked for most of the owners. The dealer can find nothing wrong or even locate the issue. What has Toyota done to determine why this is happening" is it software, battery, electrical or a combination of these" references: Https://www.motorbiscuit.com/are-2019-and-2020-Toyota-Rav4-hybrids-suffering-battery-issues/ https://www.cargurus.com/cars/discussion-C29023_ds1091695 https://www.rav4world.com/threads/2020-hybrid-starting-issue-due-to-battery-drain.303771/ https://www.kbb.com/Toyota/Rav4/2020/consumer-reviews/ https://www.reddit.com/R/rav4club/comments/fucb6M/2020_rav4_battery_dead/ plus more --- just google '2020 Rav4 hybrid battery problems'
I have a 2020 Rav4 xle with about 3,000 mileage. The car battery has died twice. The first time it happened, I jump started the car. The second time, I took the car to the dealer but they said there was nothing wrong with the car. I don't understand why a new car would be having these battery problems. Has anyone had any similar problems and have suggestions on how to resolve the issue?
Battery "died" the beginning of August - jump started and drove to the dealership service center. I was told that the battery was fine and that "short distance" driving can drain the battery - since I drive 45 miles a day to and from work, that is not a valid "excuse". now, 3 weeks later, my car was parked on a flat surface for 36 hours with nothing left on - and the car is completely dead. Tested the battery myself before jumpstarting it - and it full. Absolutely no reason why my car should not start.
Car battery died after owning the vehicle for 5 months, less than 3,000 miles. While driving, I would get a message that read, "battery charging." Dealership replaced battery and 1 week later, the new battery died. After doing a parasitic drain test, the problem was sourced to the data control module. The dealership uploaded new software and so far I've had no further issues.
Serious D-cell battery discharge issue. Twice our new Rav4 hybrid has had to be jumped and taken to dealer for a dead battery. Dealer found nothing fixable but replaced the battery. 1st time we were stranded in hotel parking lot after trip abroad. 2nd time was at home. Cargurus sends me 5 complaints a day for others with the same issue. Vehicle is not reliable.
Two days of not driving and no power to car brought to dealership they said I was dreaming of things and bought it home then two days later it happen again
