2019 Toyota Rav4 Brakes Problems

Well, making my research it shows that the RAV4 2020 will have a recall with the brake booster that my car the 2019 is having the same issues and it’s a very expensive fix. My car only has 40,000 miles is still brand new and I don’t understand why am I having this issues with the brake booster RAV4 2020 has a recall for that same part so I would like them to honor the 2019 brake booster and fix it as well

UNKNOWN

The following information refers to recall notice 19V544000 "SERVICE BRAKES" and "ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL" (recall number same for both notices) by Toyota for the 2019 Rav 4 Hybrid: "In 2019, Toyota issued a recall for certain 2019 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid vehicles due to a faulty brake assist system, specifically related to a potential issue with the brake booster pump which could lead to brake failure; the 2019 Toyota Prius was also included in this recall." The recall covered the manufacturing period 4/26/2019 - 6/3/2019 and a recall notice was issued on 7/24/2019 for the affected vehicles and owners were notified on 9/20/2019. We purchased our vehicle on 9/21/2019 with manufacture date August 2019 and on 12/19/2024 we suffered a brake failure causing damage to the vehicle and our garage. The Rav Hybrid Limited comes with sensors that will auto brake if it believes the speed/distance is insufficient and the brakes have not been applied. The brakes were self-applied at the time and no sensor action occurred. I believe the above recall should be extended to include August 2019 manufacture and should also include any sensors that involve the braking system and/or stability control system. Currently we are dealing with insurance and Toyota, no appraisal costs as yet

The brake caliper remain stuck

Engine: I got the 100k engine maintenance done. I replace my coolant and got an oil change. The engine maintenance required warning is still on my dashboard and will not go away because the diagnostic reader states I need a new coolant bypass valve. This is not apart of the factory maintenance, alot on rav4 owners are dealing with this, and it is very pricey. I think it is best for this type of situation to be recalled. Brakes: I got my front brakes replaced and I had issues with my front calipers. My mechanic said both calipers had holes in them and caused my brake fluid to leak which has affected my braking alot. It takes a long time to brake and I’ve experienced this even after I’ve paid alot of money to get my driver said caliper replaced, still need to get my passenger side replaced. My mechanic only uses toyota brand supplies so I’m not sure why there isn’t any longevity in the quality of supplies. I’ve only had the vehicle for 2 years.

Front breaks squeal when braking at low speeds. Mileage under 10k miles

Noticed air in the brake piston boot upon brake inspection. This is a safety risk for our drivers when commuting on their travels as they transport medical patient to and from the facilities. No warning lights on the dash, initial cause of inspection was due to screeching and popping noise from the brakes.

Unknown component or system While driving on the Interstate during rush hour, traveling 60 miles an hour, another vehicle along side us entered our lane and we had to avoid a collision by aggressive braking and steering. Following this maneuver, our vehicle immediately shut down. An 18 wheel barely missed crashing into our rear. It took us approximately 1 minute to realize we needed to put the car in park, step on the brake, and push the ignition button to restart the vehicle.

DIDNT FILL UP GAS TANK AND BRAKE PRESSURE IS LOW. ITS TAKE TOO MUCH SPACE TO STOP.

2019 TOYOTA RAV 4 HYBRID. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO EMERGENCY BRAKE SWITCH. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE SWITCH WAS POORLY PLACED. THE CONSUMER STATED IT WAS PLACED TOO CLOSE TO THE GEAR SHIFT AND THE INSET STORAGE AREA. THE CONSUMER ACCIDENTALLY ACTIVATED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WHIE DRIVING 65 MPH. DUE TO THIS, THE CONSUMER BURNED THE RUBBER OFF THE TIRES AND HAD TO PURCHASE NEW ONES. *JS

BREAKS MAKE A CHIRPING NOISE WHEN YOU STEP ON THE BREAKS. MOST RECENTLY HEARD ON 6.26.20. *TR

FUELING: GAS PUMP SHUT OFF WHEN TANK IS ABOUT HAVE FULL. TO COMPLETE FUELING I HAVE TO PULL GAS HOSE OUT OF TANK AND PLACE NOZZEL WHERE I CAN SEE GAS BEING DEPOSED INTO TANK TO COMPLETE FILL. I HAVE HAD GAS SPRAY BACK ON ME. TAKES 3 TIMES AS LONG TO FILL.

2 ISSUES WITH THIS BRAND NEW 2019 XSE HYBRID RAV4. 1) FUEL TANK NEVER FILLS UP AS GAS PUMP CLICKS OFF AT 9.5 (3/4 FULL) AT GAS STATION. THIS IS NOW ALL OVER THE NEWS AND BLOGS, AND TOYOTA SEEMS TO HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED THE ISSUE, BUT NO SOLUTION YET . 2) AFTER TOYOTA DEALERSHIP PERFORMED BRAKE RECALL SERVICE ON DEC. 8, 2020 (AT LESS THAN 2K MILES), THE FRONT BRAKES WHISTLES OR SQUEAKS LOUDLY WHENEVER I APPLY BRAKES AT LOW SPEED (AT OR LESS THAN 5 MPH). WHEN I ARRIVED AT DEALERSHIP TO SPEAK WITH SERVICE MANAGER (SCOTT), TECHNICIAN WAS ASSIGNED AND RODE WITH ME AND CONFIRMED THE LOW BRAKE SPEED SQUEAL/WHISTLE. AFTER 2-3 HOURS, A DIFFERENT TECHNICIAN WHO WAS ASSIGNED TO LOOK AT IT CLAIMS "NO NOISE OBSERVED AFTER TEST DRIVE, OPERATING AS DESIGNED." FUNNY HOW THEY ASSIGNED 2 DIFFERENT TECHNICIANS - ONE WHO OBSERVED THE NOISE UPON ARRIVAL, AND THE 2ND ONE WHO LOOKED AT IT AND CLAIMS NO NOISE. WHEN DRIVING OUT OF DEALERSHIP SERVICE AREA, THE LOW SPEED (<5MPH) BRAKE NOISE SQUEAL WAS AND IS CURRENTLY STILL THERE. DEALER CONTINUES TO CLAIM COLD WEATHER OR MOISTURE MAY BE THE CAUSE (REALLY - THAT SOUNDS AMAZINGLY FALSE!) AND REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE OR REPAIR THE BRAKE NOISE ISSUE. IT'S AS IF THE DEALERSHIP (STEVENS CREEK TOYOTA, SAN JOSE) IS WAITING FOR A RECALL VS. ACKNOWLEDGING THE ISSUE SO TOYOTA CORPORATE WILL REIMBURSE DEALERSHIP FOR THE REPAIR COST FOR THE BRAKE NOISE ISSUE. CAR CURRENTLY ONLY HAS 4K MILES.

RAV4 HAS ONLY 500O MILES ON ODOMETER. HAVE BEEN GETTING A SQUEALING SOUND FROM THE BRAKES WHEN BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED. BRAKING ABILITY IS NOT DIMINISHED, JUST A PERSISTENT SPEAK. SEEMS TO BE MORE PRONOUNCED AT FIRST MORNING BRAKING. AFTER ABOUT 5-10 MINUTES IT WILL GO AWAY FOR THE DAY.

TWO WEEKS AGO THE CAR CAME ON WITH AN ERROR MESSAGE STATING THE HYBRID SYSTEM HAD FAILED. I BROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED A RELAY VALVE AND SAID THEY HAD BEEN HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM IN COLD WEATHER WITH OTHER RAV4 HYBRIDS. NOW TODAY, I WENT TO START THE CAR AND IT WAS LISTING ABOUT 6 ERROR MESSAGES, EVERYTHING FROM THE BRAKE POWER BEING LOW, ENGINE FAILURE, ETC. THE CAR WOULDN'T START AND HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP.

THE VEHICLE TURNS ON THE RED BREAK LIGHT MAL FUNCTION WITHOUT PUSHING THE BREAK PEDAL IN CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAY. BESIDES THAT THE PEDAL MAKES A LOT NOICE WHEN IS PUSHED AND GOES VERY LOW METAL TO METAL.

PURCHASED RAV4 HYBRID IN MAY AND NOTICED THE CAR WOULD HAVE A SQUEAL/SQUEAK WHEN STARTING. EVENTUALLY WAS TOLD THE ROTORS WERE WARPED AND WAS 'FIXED' HOWEVER UPON DRIVING OFF I NOTICED THE BREAK ASSIST WAS NOT THE WAY IT WAS. IT WAS DELAYED IN BREAKING ESPECIALLY IF NEEDING TO BREAK SUDDENLY. CURRENTLY IS BEING INSPECTED.

FAULTY BRAKE ASSIST BOOSTER (PLASTIC BRUSH HOLDER MISSHAPEN) CAUSING DEACTIVATION OF VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM ON THE RAV4 XSE HYBRID. MY VEHICLE HAS NOT YET BEEN DELIVERED FROM THE NEWARK, NEW JERSEY PORT OF ENTRY. IT HAS BEEN THERE SINCE JULY3, 2019 WITH NO EXPECTED DATE OF DELIVERY.I DISCOVERED THIS PROBLEM WHEN GOOGLING RECALLS ON THE 2019 RAV4 HYBRID, USING THE VIN # SUPPLIED IN THIS TEXT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 TOYOTA RAV4. WHILE DRIVING AND/OR STOPPING THE VEHICLE WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED, THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL SCRATCHING NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ORLAND TOYOTA (8505 W 159TH ST, TINLEY PARK, IL 60487, (708) 336-7288) AND OAK LAWN TOYOTA (4320 95TH ST, OAK LAWN, IL 60453, (708) 423-5200) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 500.

ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE MALFUNCTION. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN DRIVEN IN A FEW DAYS, IT WAS PARKED IN OUR ENCLOSED GARAGE. STARTED VEHICLE SHIFTED INTO DRIVE, LET OF BRAKE AND VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD. I THEN APPLIED LIGHT THROTTLE AND STILL THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE. I COULD FEEL RESISTANCE FROM THE REAR WHEELS. I SHIFTED BACK INTO PARK AND MANUALLY CYCLED THE PARKING BRAKE SWITCH. NOTICED THAT THE PARKING BRAKE LIGHT INDICATOR IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WOULD NOT ILLUMINATE. NO AUDIBLE NOISE OF PARKING BRAKE ACTUATOR FUNCTIONING. CYCLING THE PARKING BRAKE SWITCH DID NOTHING. I TRIED TURNING THE ENGINE OFF AND BACK ON, THIS DID NOT RESOLVE THE SITUATION. SHIFTED BACK INTO DRIVE AND GENTLY APPLIED LIGHT THROTTLE, THEN SHIFTED INTO REVERS AND APPLIED VERY LIGHT THROTTLE. I REPEATED THIS A FEW TIMES AND WITH A SUDDEN LOUD CLUNK THE E- BRAKE RELEASED AND THE VEHICLE MOVED FORWARD. I THEN CYCLED THE E-BRAKE SWITCH A FEW TIMES AND IT APPEARS TO FUNCTION PROPERLY AGAIN. THROUGH OUT THIS NO MESSAGES OR WARNING LIGHTS WERE DISPLAYED INDICATING ANY PROBLEM WITH THE E-BRAKE OR ANY SYSTEM. THIS VEHICLE HAS 2,400 MILES ON IT. IT HAS NEVER BEEN SUBJECTED TO ANY ENVIRONMENTAL CONTAMINATES THAT COULD POSSIBLY CAUSE THIS ISSUE. IT HAS NEVER BEEN OFF-ROAD, NO EXPOSURE TO SNOW, MUD, DIRT OR FREEZING TEMPS. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD! I HAVE NO IDEA IF OR WHEN THE ELECTRONIC EMERGENCY BRAKE MAY FAIL TO ENGAGE OR DISENGAGE. I TALKED TO THE DEALER AND THERE SUGGESTION WAS TO WAIT UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN AND HAVE IT TOWED IN. THIS IS AN ALL WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLE SO ATTEMPTING TO WINCH IT UP ON A TOW TRUCK WOULD LIKELY FREE THE STUCK BRAKE, OR DAMAGE THE DRIVE TRAIN. THIS IS EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING.
