Description of the problem | 3 weeks after the 50,000 mile service, on october 22 2019, i was driving 35 mph on soquel avenue, when the car became unresponsive, i lost all power and control of the vehicle, and "check ev system" came onto the instrument cluster. I was able to coast to the side of the road into a bus stop, turned the car off, and had the car towed into the dealership. The dealership was unable to replicate the symptom and informed me that it was due to the 12v battery. They replaced it and assured me the issue would not happen again. On nov 11, 2019, the issue happened again while i was on the highway this time. I had the car towed in again to toyota, who informed me that "some rav4 evs have been in the shop for months, unable to be diagnosed". I researched the symptom online and found that it related to a 2015 recall that related to the electric traction motor. Toyota's description of the f01 recall: in the involved rav4 ev |
