Hybrid malfunction warning light while driving.
- Southern Pines, NC, USA
New 2020 Rav4 hybrid makes loud grinding noise sometimes when placed in reverse and ev mode is engaged. Appears to be failure of sprag-type device to disengage engine or transmission from electric drive system. Multiple members of frank Toyota service declared it to be normal and refused to make any written entries evidencing the complaint. They claimed I was mistaken when I pointed out that it did not begin until the vehicle had approximately 600 miles on it.
- Chula Vista, CA, USA
The vehicle is hesitating, jerking when coming to a slow stop and when giving it gas. When putting gas in the car the pump automatically shut off. When I turned the car back on it showed that the tank was only 3/4 full. I put more gas again and the gas tank overflowed.

After coming to a complete stop, when I foot off the brake for acceleration the vehicle jerks every time.
- Brooklyn, NY, USA
I have the Rav4 le base model. In the first 3 gears, transmission jerks a lot during acceleration, always feeling it is having a hard shift. When I pressed the brake padel partially or rolling stop, the car lurches, this is particularly dangerous when I make turns, I feel the car is not stable. Very disappointed at Toyota.
