Since I bought the car in 2018, the car has stalled two times while I am driving on the road. That was very dangerous because other drivers almost hit me from behind. The first time I had the problem, the Toyota dealer told me that it was likely caused by bad gas. It happened again this time today. I am bringing it to the dealer again, but likely not able to get a solution. At the same time, I am scared of driving it, yet I need to drive it for work and other necessities. Happened at 32k in August 2020, and 55k in January 9, 2022.

Car is failing to speed up past 60 unless using cruise control then the car used a lot more gas then normal. I also tried to pass a car to get up to highway speed and was unable to, very dangerous on the highway. Then the car would not go past 40 I tried to switch from eco to sport to normal thinking that maybe the computer was confused but that did nothing. So after trying to speed up multiple times I got a hybrid malfunction light and told to pull over. This has happened to me in the past as well. Toyota dealer was unable to diagnose any issues with it and just reset the computer.

I purchased this car in February 2018 and on February 2019 the first failure occurred. I was driving when the engine stopped and "charging system failure" was displayed on the dash. With this failure, the owners manual says take it to the dealer. The car did start up and I was able to drive home. The selling dealer could not find any problems. I ignored the same failure a couple more times, but with the last failure, I took the car to ball Toyota, charleston, wv. They told me that there was 3 error codes, po 1603,1604,1605, P219A and made a referral to Toyota, tas case #202130026. Toyota told the dealer to replace the tank sub-assy. And the canister assy.. I believe that this is a dangerous problem that I'm not sure their repair will be the correct fix

I purchased my 2018 Rav4 in November 2019. I had the car for about 3 months when I drove to work, the car acted sluggish, was pressing on the gas pedal but wasn't going faster. Then I had to go to bank, my car wouldn't move the rpms went up to 5 but car didnt move, finally car jumped so I pressed on gas an it tried to stall so I let off, then car acted like it had power again the car did this all the way to bank. It sat ideal while I was at the bank I noticed the car smelled gassy, then it did the same all the way back to work. When I got back to work I call the dealership in enid where I got it and he even said I may be my fuel pump. Later that day my car seemed fine. Now it feels like it will jump, sluggish, or stalls like it doesn't get gas when I have a full tank. I had great gas mileage now it takes 20 buck for 20 miles no joke. I called the Toyota dealership in amarillo tx 4 days ago about changing my pump, so shows I had issues long before I got sent the recall message from a friend. I call Toyota dealership in enid ok where I got the car and have plans to take it in on the 19th to be looked at.

This is an update to complaint # 11279255 filed on 11/10/2019. Car stalled unexpectedly while driving with "charging system malfunction" appearing on the dash next to check engine light. After taking car to local Toyota dealer in conshohocken pa, they kept the car asked questions and finally found a faulty valve in the gas line that was flooding the vapor canister with gas. Toyota stepped up and along with the persistence of this dealership in diagnosing the problem, it was resolved. This issue was a threat to life as if it had happened 10 minutes later when the car was on an interstate, someone could have been killed or seriously injured.

When I'm driving at slow speeds the engine feels like it stalled or downshifted and the display gets dark but car is still 'on', however, it will no longer accelerate. The steering seems to be affected too. Unfortunately, it only resolved by turning the car off and back on, causing traffic to stop or swerve to avoid hitting me 3X the past 2 weeks.

After purchasing our brand-new 2018 Rav4 from authorized Toyota dealer, we were heading back home. On our way, we noticed burning smell followed by black smoke filled front side of the cabin. I quickly moved my car to the right side parking lot. While changing the lane I could not even see the right mirror because of the black smoke in the cabin.
