RAV4

  • 2,500 miles
While driving my 2019 Rav4 adventure in slow speeds, specially when accelerating and braking, I hear a noise coming from the transmisin. It has an 8 speed automatic transmission and when shifting in the lower gears it makes a sound not usual in any vehicle I have previously driven. Only had it for three months and took it to service to be notified it is a characteristic of the engine/transmission. First time I get that an unusual sound, a sound I can feel in my feet while driving, is a characteristic of the car. It wasn't mentioned in the features and have been told that people have complained about it in the dealership. Toyota should address this problem, it is very annoying for a brand new car.

RAV4

  • 6,000 miles
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.

RAV4

  • 5,218 miles
The contact rented a 2019 Toyota Rav4. When the contact attempted to shift the vehicle in reverse, the gear shifter came out of the transmission box. The contact quickly placed the gear shifter back in the transmission box and notified the rental facility. The contact was able to drive the vehicle home. The contact was still waiting to switch out the vehicle with the rental company. The contact was unsure if the rental company notified the dealer and manufacturer. The failure mileage was 5,218. The VIN was unknown.
