Car lost power twice, going up a steep grade. 'hybrid system malfunction' warning came on the screen, gas pedal did not work at all. I was unable to get to a safe place with children in the car, both times on the interstate. Driving up a steep mountain, about 50F weather.

Abnormal buzz or groan noise coming from the front transfer case when slowing or accelerating around 15-20 mph. Toyota tsb identifies problem as electro-magnetic clutch shifting from 2wd to 4WD on certain models. Toyota says not a recall but will repair which requires opening the transfer case. Brand new car and Toyota should replace entire transfer case instead of repairing it. Dealer ordered parts 3 weeks ago and still not delivered. Dealer has not offered loaner car in interim.

Cruise control and other safety issues randomly go off line. When driving cruise control turn off, as do the electronics. Further, the automatic bright lights are random to the point I have to disable the system. I have pics and video, cannot change format, don't know how.

There is a large chunk and grind noise coming from the front end when going into 4th gear. Both up shifting and down shifting. Took the issue to Toyota, they said they were waiting for more people to report he issue before fixing the issue.

- Denver, CO, USA

Sound heard when going from all wheel drive to front wheel drive at low speeds. Also when stopping when when the rear wheel drive reengages.

During a slow roll, the vehicle jerks pretty bad. Common problem with the Rav4S that Toyota hasn't addressed.

- Mckinney, TX, USA

As the transmission shifts down to first gear, without coming to a complete stop as one accelerates the vehicle makes an abrupt forward movement. Strong enough to move a passenger backwards. I have only notice this at low speeds in traffic. Does not happen after complete stop. I will rake car to dealer to check the transmission this is not normal on an automatic transmission.

My 2019 my 2019 adventure is making a groaning sound when I accelerate conservatively between 20-30 mph. This happens probably 50% of the time. Seems to be the AWD system. There is a bulletin regarding it: Https://static.NHTSA.gov/ODI/tsbs/2019/mc-10169438-9999.pdf. It's an ongoing problem. Seems like this should be a recall.

- Mount Laurel, NJ, USA

Moaning, buzzing noise of front differential when acceleration to 35mph, also upon deceleration, especially when car is hot.

- Cedarburg, WI, USA

Vehicle jerks after accelerating from a "rolling stop." It seems like there is an issue with the throttle - there seems to be a delay with going, so the car jerks to kick into the speed it should be. I've taking my car to the dealership at least 3 times to resolve this issue, but they always say there is nothing wrong with the vehicle.

- Anaheim, CA, USA

As I drive the vehicle and come to a stop and re-accelerate it jerks violently! it feels like it does this as it's accelerating in first gear only. This seems to be a potential transmission issue, but I'm not completely sure.

- Deatsville, AL, USA

I received 2 speeding camera tickets due to sudden acceleration noticed time to time, front suspensions are not even and rough, transmission is not smooth when changing gears and/or stopping vehicle.

- Bronx, NY, USA

Adventure trim of 2019 Toyota Rav4 makes an abnormal groaning/buzzing sound when accelerating. Sound occurs between 20-30 mph when AWD system disconnects rear wheels. A video recording has captured this sounds on two separate occasions.

- Las Vegas, NV, USA

Twice this vehicle has stumbled when trying to make a left turn across traffic, applying gas from a near dead stop. Both times would have been an accident if other driver was not driving defensively. This rav 4 is unsafe! less than 5,000 miles since we bought it new.

- Kingman, AZ, USA

1st incident: Sitting at stop light for a few mins as normal. When time to accelerate, the vehicle started lurching forward in a hard jerking motion. 2nd incident: Slower traffic. When driving in slower traffic or at slower speeds, ~20-35mph the vehicle will start lurching jerking forward. Took back to dealership for inspection, there were no issues found. Dealership reset internal computer, stating that "vehicle is operating normally". neither has issue has yet to cause an accident with any other drivers at this time. I do travel with dogs who are harnessed and seat-belted in the backseat, they would have been thrown to floor of car if not seat-belted. For myself, I get tossed forward several inches and head thrown forward. When driving in slower traffic and/or stop and go traffic, the car lurching/hard jerking forward will eventually cause an accident. All incidents have happen on dry city streets. I would assume during these incidents of the jerking forward that the break lights do not alert rear drivers that the car is in a stop/go motion.

My 2019 tortola Rav4 xle with 6401 miles on it has been experiencing problems with stalling since I first got it in August. I notice it especially when I don't make complete stops. It will stall and yank the car forward. It is annoying and embarrassing that my new car does not drive smooth. I will be taking it to a Toyota dealerships to get evaluated.

- Dallas, TX, USA

2019 rav 4 xle premium I purchased a year ago continues to lurch when suddenly accelerating from a rolling stop. An example is when pulling up to a red light and the light suddenly turns green, I'll take my foot of the brake and tap the gas and the car hesitates then accelerates. This motion jerks me and other passengers in our seats.

- Chicago, IL, USA

Vehicle does not function as advertised, ECM appears to change shifting, hybrid, and gasoline usage at lower temps. Pre-collision system malfunctions with any visibility reduction, causing the vehicle to suddenly brake at highway speeds or to not brake at all with radar cruise active. Also have same issue as others with not being able to fill tank more than 10 gallons of 14. Mileage is as low as 24 mpg for a whole tank, driving very conservatively.

- Minneapolis, MN, USA

Toyota has issued a technical service bulletin T-sb-0107-19 titled "hesitation on acceleration from a slow or rolling stop". it calls for reprogramming of the electronic control module by a Toyota dealer. It goes on to say that Toyota is not notifying Rav4 owners of this fix, you have to go to the dealer and tell them you are having a problem.
