Please see attached sheet for all that has happened since I purchased the car. I've had to replace the battery 2 times in 3 years as well. I have new battery and it became corroded fast. My car kept telling me there was an electrical issue and the check engine light would come on and all of the fails LED to the transmission issues.
2017 Toyota RAV4 transmission complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 16 of 16, newest first, as owners wrote them.
When driving at 25 MPH to 40 MPH my vehicle starts to shudder. I can hear it as if it is coming up from the under carriage. It doesn't do it all the time but it occurs at least once per week. The shudder occurs when driving on a suburban street going straight down the road.
2017 toyota rav4 transmission gives up at 100k miles.the toyota dealer ask me to $6000 for repair.
Power transmission, safety issue, the power transmission will not shift in a timely manner to proper gears,in cold weather, this is a safety issue, when entering the freeway after leaving work, the car will only go 30 MPH at 3,500 RPM. Until the car warms up, this has never happened before, and now it is. Toyota dealer confirmed that the shift points are higher than normal, when first started in the morning, and per the dealer well it takes awhile for the car to warm up before it will go to normal shift points, and allow the transmission to function normally. Well 30 MPH at 3500 RPM, this is not normal, and this is a safety issue, so when you leave work your car will only go 30 MPH on a 60 MPH freeway. The dealers response is after it has been running and warmed up it will work normally. There is nothing normal about this issue, never had this issue last winter now all of a sudden having this issue this winter.
The transmission, is not shifting properly in even mildly cold weather. Had the car for two years, and now the tranmission, is not shifting properly when you first start it up. The engine rpms are at 3,500, when doing 30 MPH down the road,and pushing all the way down on the accelerator, the car will not go, there are no error lights, there is an tranmission shift issue with acceleration issue. This is dangerous because when going down a 35 MPH road, there are cars that can accelerate and this car goes nowhere. Start the car after being parked outside in cold weather, waited 5 minutes before driving the car, and it is still not responding properly. There have been electrical issues with this car, and now the transmission will not shift and go into gear properly, not sure if its the computer program, or gear issue. Never had this problem until the second year of ownership. Owned the car since it was brand new. This is a safety issue, with the car not being able to go the proper speed limit, and the dealer is trying to say oh, it takes a while for the car to warm up, did not have that problem last winter being left out all day and night. There is an electronic control module for the transmission, and the gears this is a safety issue that toyota needs to address, the car will not even accelerate properly because of this transmission issue and if you do accelerate you can end up ruinning the engine.
There's a recall on my 2017 toyota rav4 and the dealership failed to mention it. This car was purchased brand new in july 2017. The recall was made june 15 2017. Recall id#265486. Recall is 17r2 for tires. Safety is very important here as I have kids in the car sometimes. Please do something. The dealership said they're not responsible for it. The also has the following noticeably problem when in motion or driving mode: suspension issues: struts,spindle, control arms, ball joints, stabilizers, and related components may present a safety hazard. It is very scary to hear that trutle grinding noise.
