Very similar to what I read on a #6 post - I received the following error on our display, "charging system malfunction". After a few seconds I was able to turn my vehicle on and proceed through the intersection. Approximately one minute later it started to stutter again. I was able to make it to my driveway before it turned off and lost power.
It is strange because when I start the RAV4 it shows it is charging at 14.1V. But when I start driving, the voltage drops to 13.0 (or lower). Take my foot off the gas peddle (coasting) and the voltage starts climbing back to 14.1V. This seems backwards to what it should be.
