Description of the problem | 2020 toyota rav4 hybrid has been experiencing a host of issues since purchased march 1, 2020. Top three are: 1) fuel tank / fuel sender issue (see attached from toyota corporate), 2) remote connect issue (t-sb-0021-20, also attached), and most recently 3) smart key system malfunction, pksb failure, brake assist failure, and a dead battery. These most recent failures are most troubling as the car was totally unresponsive. The vehicle was parked in a temperature controlled garage for 60 hours, untouched. There are no after-market installations, and nothing was accidentally left on; no high-drain accessories to blame. This is strictly an electrical / software / firmware issue, and toyota has shown zero accountability in addressing the issue. Hundreds, if not more, 2020 rav4 hybrid owners have experienced the issue (for reference: https://www. Rav4world. Com/threads/dead-battery. 303636/). These vehicles should not be permitted to be sold as-is. |
