2019 Toyota Rav4 Engine Problems

Your engine suddenly stopped working while driving, and warning lights appeared on your dashboard indicating multiple issues. The dealer determined your engine had seized up with no prior warning signs. You've found that other 2019 Toyota RAV4s have recalls for similar problems, but your vehicle doesn't have a recall issued. Fixing this will likely require engine inspection, diagnostics, or possibly engine replacement or rebuild.

Your engine shuts down unexpectedly shortly after refueling, and it won't restart. This has happened twice, and no dealership has been able to identify the cause. Since the engine can stop without warning while you're driving, this is a serious safety concern for you and your passengers.

Your engine warning light displayed a message telling you to visit the dealer for engine maintenance. The dealer diagnosed the problem as a faulty coolant flow control valve that needed replacement. This issue has been associated with a known Toyota customer support program (24TE04), and you may want to contact Toyota about coverage since this occurred at 116,000 miles.

Was insinuating engine was over heating even in -4° weather has no hot air plenty of coolant. This is causing the vehicle to "buck" amd having to have to pull over and waiting several minutes to let the engine "cool off" I can make it about 3 miles in-between pull overs. After some research I feel like the issue falls under a current lawsuit against Toyota regarding the coolant valve based on reading other issues and what my rav is doing. It is a several thousand dollar fix through a dealership and one my family can not afford especially if it is a poorly manufactured part of the car. It is one of two vehicles we have and need to daily living especially having a child and no means yo offered another safe vehicle at this time. The coolant pump itself

Got brand new transmission put in then right after the Coolant leak started into cylinder number 2

2019-2023 model year Toyota RAV4s and Toyota Corollas are equipped with defective coolant bypass valves prone to premature failure which can cause coolant to leak out of a vehicle’s closed-loop coolant system, harming its ability to properly regulate engine temperature. This can cause overheating, stalling, increased emissions, and total engine failure and also allows coolant to leak into and damage surrounding engine components, including a vehicle’s electrical system, the complaint relays. The warning message that common appears for this issue is "Engine maintenance required Visit your dealer "

The engine maintenance light came on and I took the car to my independent mechanic. The "soft code" indicates that the coolant system valve/hose (engine coolant bypass valve) is showing in the closed position when it should be open. My mechanic has tried to order a replacement part, but is having trouble finding one. After my personal research, I see that there is a Class Action Lawsuit regarding this part from 2024 indicating that it can cause the car to overheat, stall, and potentially severe engine damage. Toyota has no formal recalls on this, but it has been indicated that some owners have received support from Toyota on models built up to 2021.

The water pump failed at 49000 miles left me with a repair of $1500 at Kendall Toyota dealership

Scan Report done ! odometer 25266.Engine coolant bypass valve "A" control circuit failed test. Engine Control Module Code P2681-15. Message: factory service require !

Faulty coolant bypass valve at 115,000 miles. Seems to be a repeat issue for many Toyota owners. Not covered by the powertrain warranty, but a known issue by the manufacturer.

The Engine Maintenance required light comes on when I use the air conditioner. I suspect the coolant bypass hose is not working properly.

Check engine light came on and code P268115 was shown for coolant bypass valve internal failure. Valve was replaced by dealership and I was told it would not be covered under the Toyota Customer Support Program because that only covers valves that leak externally, not internal failures.

Coolant bypass failure

An error code titled “Engine Maintenance Required. Visited your dealer” appeared on my dash screen. The error code was unable to be removed. I attempted have the car diagnosed by a private auto shop, however no faulty codes pop up. After research online, the problem was determined to be the engine coolant valve, which are faulty on many Rav4s. I eventually get a letter from Toyota for a Customer Support Program regarding the Engine Coolant Valve. When brought in for maintenance, Toyota pulled the error code “P268115” which is for an internal failure of the engine coolant valve. However, Toyota will not replace the part due to their Customer Support Program (24TE04) only covering the part for “small engine coolant leak[s]”. Essentially, Toyota will replace the part for being faulty if it had small leaks, but not if the part itself is faulty. When I asked the service member I was working with stated that this is a known problem and “[Toyota] should have just replaced the whole part, but they only do it for small leaks.” Currently, litigation is proceeding regarding the engine coolant valve, alleging Toyota knowingly put faulty parts in their Rav4s. I urge you to investigate this claim.

The contact owns a 2019 Toyota Rav4. The contact stated that when the vehicle was started, the vehicle was shaking abnormally. The contact stated that the overheating, parking brake, cruise control, maintenance required, and check engine warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who diagnosed that there was a misfire in cylinder #2, and that coolant was leaking into the engine. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V064000 (Engine and Engine Cooling); however, the VIN was not included. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure and opened a case. The failure mileage was unknown.

Engine Maintenance Required warning came on. Took car to dealership, diagnostic informed the issue was the coolant bypass valve. Repair cost is $781.28 + diagnostic $160.

The engine coolant bypass valve has malfunctioned. this is caused a faulty part that toyota knows malfunctions often in their toyota rav4 for multiple years including the 2019. It can cause problems for the engine cooling component, meaning the vehicle overheats, as well as affects the cars internal A/C. It can only be diagnosed at the dealership, not through a normal diagnostic. There is currently a class action lawsuit, and many others owners of multiple years of the toyota rav4 have the same issue.

The Engine Maintenance Required message is constantly on. The Engine Coolant Bypass Valve needs to be replaced.

The contact owns a 2019 Toyota Rav4. The contact stated while driving at approximately 35 MPH, the vehicle stalled. The contact pulled over and was able to restart the vehicle. The contact stated that the failure was a recurring failure. The contact stated there was no warning light illuminated. The contact had taken the vehicle to a local dealer. The vehicle was not yet diagnosed and was not repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 118,000.

My 2019 TOYOTA RAV4 ADVENTURE is groaning, especially when accelerating or decelerating, particularly with the AWD system engaged. Plus, there no or slow forward collision warning. Toyota seems to ignore these issues related to the Adventure RAv4 of 2019 and 2020. Thanks

In September 2023 I kept getting a warning on my 2019 Toyota RAV4 saying “engine maintenance required”. My car had roughly 50,000 miles. I was not due for an oil change and I serviced my vehicle regularly. I tried to take it to autozone to read the code but nothing came up and they said I just needed an oil change which I knew wasn’t true. I finally took it to a local Toyota dealership on September 23, 2023 and the first thing the advisor said to me after I told her about the warning message was “I already know what’s wrong with it, you’re like the 4th car today with the same issue”. The issue was a defective coolant bypass valve. The advisor said the cars most affected were RAV4’s followed by corollas and it was happening at random mileages. I asked if there was a recall and there wasn’t, she advised me to call Toyota to make a complaint which I did and nothing happened. I had to pay around $1000 to get a defective part fixed that Toyota knew about and still hasn’t issued a recall. Theres a class action lawsuit currently involving 2019-2023 corollas and RAV4s, but I still don’t understand why there hasn’t been a recall. If I didn’t get it repaired, my engine could have overheated multiple times causing more issues. They are knowingly not recalling a defective piece of a equipment that has been installed in hundreds of thousands of cars.

Engine maintenance required when AC is turned on. This is an issue with the coolant by pass valve, many rav4 owners have reported but a recall has not been established

My coolant bypass valve gave out and Toyota is insisting it’s not covered under warranty my 10 year warranty. Toyota knew there was a defect and didn’t tell consumers.

I was stopped at a red light. When the light turned green and I pressed the gas, the engine sputtered and almost shut off. Just before I came to a stop, the engine revved up and the vehicle accelerated. The uneven acceleration is concerning. I recently replaced the gas cap and serviced the fuel system, which leads me to believe there is a defect with the engine. Later in the day, the check engine light went on and AWD system, cruise control, and lane assist were disabled.

Toyota has a coolant control valve problem on the RAV4 that it has known is a problem but will not issue a technical service bulletin or recall. It is only covered by the extended warranty. Any other is 800 dollars out of pocket. The warning ️ on the dash blocks the speed indicator and cannot be cleared until the fix is made.

In July of 2023 at only 23K miles but out of warranty coverage, I received the Engine Maintenance Required warning for the failure of the Coolant Bypass Valve. I took it to the dealership (Alamo Toyota in San Antonio, TX) and they said it needed to be replaced and would not be covered under warranty. They quoted over $850 to do the replacement but the part was on national backorder. After returning home I started doing research and found that this is happening at a very high rate and thus there is obviously a defect to this part. Toyota should be treating this is a defect, fixing the issue and providing the fix as a recall fix. I should not have to pay near $1000 to replace a defective part with another defective part that will most likely fail again. Since I am a very low mileage driver, from July 2023 to now I have only driven 4K miles, I have not replaced the part but continually monitor the engine temperature and for any coolant leakage. I know there is now a class action lawsuit but shouldn't the NHTSA get involved due to the number of failures on RAV4s and Corollas and the lack of responsibility being taken by Toyota?

The coolant bypass valve has leaked. It is available for inspection upon request, however this seems to be a larger ongoing problem across the country with this make, model and year. The check engine light did go on.

The “Engine Maintenance Required” light came on, indicating issues with the coolant valve. This is become a common issue with the RAV4. If this is becoming a common issue for owners, it needs to be looked into!! I commute and my engine can overheat.

Coolant valve failed ($700)shortly after warranty ended; extended warranty did not cover repair. Coolant valve then caused harness to be unusable causing for a $4500 part replacement to be required. During the whole process the Toyota dealership maintenance told me that the engine repair required alert was for normal maintenance and directed me to continue driving with it until my scheduled service every time after speaking with three different people and a mechanic at the dealerships maintenance shop. I was then told after bringing in the car that I could leave although the alert was still present. Finally after the maintenance supervisor looked at my car I was told it was not safe to have been driving. Toyota made a faulty part that they expected to break and still put it in vehicles. They then are not even aware/ do not acknowledge this widespread issue in 2019 and 2020 rav-4s and Carrolas. This defective part can cause the engine to have catastrophic issues as I was later told by the maintenance manager at a Toyota dealership. However, Toyota is leaving car owners and leaders out of thousands of dollars in repairs and not acknowledging or warning customers of a dangerous issue.

My 2019 Toyota RAV4 had been making a loud noise at random intervals when driving at high speeds such as freeway speeds. The dealer said they could not reproduce the issue. A couple years later at around 65000 miles my engine maintenance required message came up and would not go away. I took my vehicle to get the code read and there were no codes. I kept smelling fuel or different unpleasant smells when driving the vehicle. The engine maintenance required notice would turn on every single Time I used the AC. I later went to the Toyota dealer and they said the coolant bypass valve had been leaking and causing the engine maintenance notice to come up. This is a new vehicle that has been maintained properly and rarely driven far. The part and labor was $824.

I got an alert on my screen that would not go away. It said Engine Maintenance Required.” Went to auto one & there was 0 diagnostics associated with any codes. The guy said that it is the coolant bypass valve and that there is a class action in the works. He said most places charge $600 - $700 to replace and to hold on to my receipts.

Out of the sudden, the engine light started to display a message to check engine and overheating of this took place continuously. My Rav 4 only has 70k miles and I got it pre-certified from the dealer. This error is the Coolant Bypass Valve. This Valve is connected to a radiator hose.

A warning message appeared that stated: “Engine maintenance required - Visit your dealer”. At that time my vehicle had 38,796 miles on it. I contacted the Service Advisor at Toyota of Newnan who advised that it was likely the Coolant Bypass Valve on the engine and that they have had issues and repairs relating to that condition on their RAV4 and Corolla models. Their mechanics confirmed that this was the fault and that failing to have it repaired / replaced could result in engine overheating and engine seizing which could result in lose of vehicle control and endanger other vehicles on the road. Sensing the urgency, I had the repair / replacement completed at a cost of $846.68. Service advisor stated that many of the other vehicles with the same problem were still under warranty and repaired at no cost to the consumer. In my opinion this recurring defect among two Toyota model lines is occurring with enough regularity to warrant Toyota issuing at least a Service Bulletin and covering the cost of the repair and reimbursement to those that had to pay for the repair.

Check engine light came on. Ran codes in vehicle and showed code P2681-15 engine coolant bypass valve needs replaced.

2019 RAV4 with 50120 miles engine maintenance light. It is a very common problem with Rav4s. coolant bypass valve...... My brother has same model same problem. Spent $600 to replace it. Toyota is charging $600-$1000 to replace defective part.

2019 rav4 at 59,000 miles engine maintenance required popped up. Went to the dealer, service advisor knew exactly that coolant control valve needed to be replaced because it being so common. I looked it up and coolant bypass valves in the 2019–2023 RAV4 and Corolla models. Some owners have reported that this defect could affect the vehicle's performance and longevity. Now I have to spend almost 1,000 for a repair I didn’t even cause because Toyota built a faulty valve.

Engine error message showed up after extended warranty expired by 600 miles. To fix the error message Toyota charge $871 total combined diagnostic, part and labor. The problem was coolant by pass valve shorted.

Coolant bypass valve

Upon reaching 50k miles, vehicle prompted a "engine maintenance required, please contact dealer" message. Upon inspection at the dealer, I was told this is a common issue in newer Toyota RAV4/Corollas and employees have been seeing this issue continuously. There is no way to bypass this message without getting the part replaced and the replacement runs anywhere ~$800 -$1000. How are so many people dealing with the same issue and Toyota has yet to issue a recall?

Coolant bypass valve failure The issue has been confirmed by a service center and was told a very common failure in my make & model of car. Warning light came on dash board and immediately had checked at service center. The fix is $900, which is frustrating because a class action lawsuit is being gathered for this same defect in my same model of car.

Hi there. As of June 17, 2024, there is a class action lawsuit against Toyota regarding issues with the coolant bypass valves in the 2019–2023 RAV4 and Corolla models. Some owners have reported that this defect could affect the vehicle's performance and longevity, potentially leading to expensive repairs. The plaintiffs allege that Toyota has violated the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, the Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act, and California's Unfair Competition Law, Consumers Legal Remedies Act, and Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act. They are seeking a jury trial, declaratory and injunctive relief, and punitive damages. I encountered the same issue on July 3, 2024, and visited Toyota Scott Clark (Charlotte), where I was charged $129 for diagnostics and $835.60 for further service to fix the problem. I am not willing to pay for this service, and Toyota has refused to cover the cost. I am joining the class action lawsuit against Toyota.

Coolant bypass valve

My engine maintenance light will not shut off due to a engine coolant bypass valve circuit short to battery. I also have warm fluid dripping on my feet when ac is on. The dealer says water under the dash is from from recalled roof rails. There has been a recall for code that pops up on my mechanic Toyota number20TA04. Dealer says he does haven't code so toyota hasnt issued any issues or re all for engine bypass valve. Toyota now has a class action law suit for this part. I can't afford $700 repair, can't see the messages or my speed due to the engine maintenance required on my screen which can't be reset. This is dangerous and can cause the need to have engine replaced, start engine fires. Toyota has known this issue for 5 yrs and needs to be held accountable.

A “Engine Maintenance Required” notification came up on dash boards. When car was taken to dealership and a diagnosis was made they stated that the engine coolant bypass valve was damaged and needed to be replaced. Upon research online it appears that Toyota would be recalling over 44,000 vehicles of the makes RAV4 and Corolla ranging from the manufacturer years 2019-2023. The issue with these vehicles states that potential of a crack forming in the engine, a result of a manufacturing error. Coolant or oil could leak from the crack, leading to the engine stalling, overheating, or possibly catching fire. This issue can be found within several articles. The dealership is wanting me to pay $787+ tax for an issue that appears to be a manufactured issue which later I may not be refunded.

Coolant Bypass Valve Defect. Toyota sold me a 2019 RAV 4 knowing there are problems with coolant bypass valve. Toyota RAV4s and Corollas is “insufficiently manufactured and/or designed” as it can crack and leak coolant. Once a leak begins, the coolant comes into contact with an electrical connector near the valve and corrodes and damages the component, the filing says. Once this occurs, a vehicle’s engine can no longer communicate with the coolant bypass valve during operation, the suit states.

A message popped up on my dash "Engine Maintenance Required - See Dealer". After further research this is a known issue with the Toyota Rav4s. The coolant bypass valve gets stuck open/closed.

My local mechanic was not aware of this issue, so I had to go through Toyota directly. If someone cannot afford $700-$1,000 repair, they risk their engine overheating. Toyota is aware of this issue and they have not recalled this part in their vehicles that is consistently failing.

Upon taking the vehicle to the Dealer, agent mentioned it could be a non reseted counter for the regular 5000 miles next service reminder, however such maintenance wasn't due, after check by additional person, technician and scan, it turned out to be the bypass valve sticking, code found P268115 and suggested repair for around $900, since vehicle is no longer under the limited warranty cost would have to be covered by the client. Agent told has to be done other wise cooling system for the engine could be at fault causing overheating, and ended up on a mayor engine failure by overheating. It doesn't seem to be a normal failure found on the users manual, hence could be a possible manufacturing fault which Toyota is not covering.

My car has been maintenanced and cared for routinely yet an engine maintenance light has come on. When I took it to the dealership I was told that I needed to spend $600 to replace the engine coolant bypass valve. After researching how to change that and what the parts consisted of I found that HUNDREDS of not thousands of people who have 2019-2020 Toyota RAV4’s have also experienced this problem. My car only has 90,000 miles on it and this is happening to other RAV4 owners who don’t have near as many miles. I would happily pay this if it was just something that happened but after researching and finding out so so many others are experiencing the same problem in the same year model car it is frustrating that there isn’t a recall on this part.

After a week, I took it to a mechanic shop; I had the oil changed and discovered that the message cannot be removed. I had the vehicle system scanned and one of the items that came up is "Engine and engine cooling". My mechanic went on line to find out if there's a RECALL issue on my vehicle with its VIN. There are 8 Recall issues on the KELLY BLUE BOOK website but not on the Toyota website. We called the dealership and they confirmed that my VIN is not included in the list. Toyota is charging $180 or more just to Diagnose. WHY do we have to pay for the Manufacturer's defects?

I further saw YouTube videos and read forums on my vehicle and the issue. A lot of individuals are reporting similar issues with their vehicle. An interesting remark, which I noticed was that a lot of the Rav4s from 2019 and newer had the same issue. These cars are not even above the 100k miles, which makes me wonder and worry how safe will my vehicle be. The part is on backorder around 1 month to 3 months.

RECALL FOR A FUEL PUMP AND TOYOTA STILL DOES NOT HAVE A FIX AFTER 4 MONTHS

VEHICLE SHAKES WHEN IDLING, SHAKING INCREASES OVERTIME. MECHANIC VERIFIED EGR MALFUNCTION ALONG WITH DIAGNOSTIC COINCIDING WITH PROBLEM.

REGARDING COMPLAINT # 11390472 I HAVE NOT HAD A RESPONSE. PLEASE LET ME KNOW VIA R-MAIL; BJCOLLIER44@GMAIL.. THANK YOU. AS YET, THE ISSUE, HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED.

I AM WONDERING EXACTLY WHEN THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED OF THIS PROBLEM.. (IT INVOLVES, 20V-064. ALSO, 20V01200. I AM UNDER THE IMPRESSION THEY WERE NOTIFIED OF "LOW-PRESSURE FUEL PUMP .PRIOR TO 10/28/2020. IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE THE DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED THE DAY AFTER WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE... WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE OCTOBER 28TH, 2020. I TRULY THINK THE DEALERSHIP WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BEFORE SELLING IT TO US ON THE 28TH. OF OCTOBER, 2020..

SECOND TIME IN COLD WEATHER, LOSS OF POWER ON INTERSTATE ALMOST CAUSING ACCIDENT. ALL LIGHTS ON DASH FLASHING AND FLASHING THROUGH SEVERAL CODES. FULL TANK OF GAS BOTH TIMES, WITH HEAT IN GAS TANK. ENGINE RUMBLING AND RUNNING ON 2WD, VERY WEEK POWER BOTH TIMES.

MY 2019 RAV4 ADVENTURE HAS A STRONG COOLANT SMELL, I FILLED THE RESERVOIR AND IN A FEW MONTHS GOT LOW LEVEL AGAIN, THE SMELL IS ONLY WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING, I DON'T SEE ANY LEAKS. IT'S ALSO MAKE A STRANGE NOISE IN LOW RPM, BETWEEN 1000 AND 2000 RPM

THERE HAS BEEN A SAFETY RECALL ON THIS CAR FOR OVER A MONTH NOW WITH NO REMEDY. IF THIS PROBLEM COULD CAUSE THE CAR TO STALL AND CAUSE A HIGHER CHANCE OF A CRASH, WHY IS IT TAKING SO LONG TO FIX? IT IS UNSAFE!

ENGINE STALL AND RUN ROUGH WHEN DRIVING ON A CITY

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 TOYOTA RAV4. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AND SLOWING DOWN, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT RESTARTED THE VEHICLE HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO WELLESLEY TOYOTA (234 WORCESTER ST, WELLESLEY, MA 02481, 781-237-2970) WHERE THE MECHANIC RETRIEVED AN UNDISCLOSED FAULT CODE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE CODE SHOWED A NON-SPECIFIC ENGINE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I NOTICED THAT IS A DRIP OF OIL UNDER THE CAR. LOOKS LIKE IT'S COMING FROM THE ENGINE. *TR

I NOTICE THAT MY RAV4 WAS DRIPPING OIL ON THE FLOOR OF THE GARAGE. I READ THE REPORTS ON YOUR SITE AND THIS MATTER COULD BE SERIOUS, AND CAN START FIRE.THE CAR IS NEW ONLY 8.000 MILES ON IT. I NEED HELP TO FIX IT. *TR

THE VEHICLE HAS AN ENGINE KNOCK/RATTLE NOISE AT COLD START UP.

I FORGOT TO TURN OFF THE ENGINE (PUSH BUTTON) AFTER PARKING. THE ENGINE RAN FOR MORE THAN 5 HOURS UNTIL I RETURNED. UNLIKE THE TRADITIONAL KEY THAT MOST OF US REMEMBER TO TAKE IT AFTER PARKING. REMOVING THE KEY WILL TURN OFF THE ENGINE. I AM OF THE OPINION THAT THIS A CRITICAL SAFETY ISSUE: 1. THE ENGINE COULD OVERHEAT IN HOT SUMMER AND MAY EVEN CATCH ON FIRE 2. ANYONE CAN DRIVE THE CAR AWAY WITHOUT THE KEY. LOW OR TOTALLY NO KEY SIGNAL MEANS THE DRIVER IS NOT NEAR TO THE CAR. THE ENGINE SHOULD NOT BE RUNNING AT ALL. FOR THE LEAST, THERE SHOULD BE SHOULD BE SOME LOUD ALERT. THE RAV4 BUILT-IN TECHNOLOGY HAS AN AUTO SHUT OFF FEATURE ON ACC MODE AFTER CERTAIN PERIOD AND REMOTE ENGINE START/STOP FEATURE. ONE CANNOT START THE CAR WITHOUT THE KEY NEARBY. WHY CANNOT TOYOTA INCORPORATE THE AUTO OFF FEATURE ON THE KEY SIGNAL LEVEL, I.E. BELOW CERTAIN KEY SIGNAL LEVEL TURN THE ENGINE OFF AUTOMATICALLY. I HAVE REPORTED TO TOYOTA. IT APPEARS THAT TOYOTA IS NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING AT THIS MOMENT.

ONCE THE CAR IS WARMED UP (30 MINUTES OF DRIVING), THE ENGINE MAKES A VERY STRANGE "MOO-ING" SOUND WHEN DRIVING AT LOW SPEED, SLOWING DOWN OR ACCELERATING FROM A LOW SPEED. THIS STARTED HAPPENING ABOUT THREE MONTHS AFTER I GOT THE VEHICLE (PURCHASED NEW). IT DOESN'T SEEM TO AFFECT THE DRIVING BUT IT IS A DISTURBING SOUND & I DON'T KNOW WHERE IT'S COMING FROM.

UPDATE TO CLAIM #11233589: AFTER GOING BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP A SECOND TIME BECAUSE OIL CONTINUED TO CLIMB UP THE DIP STICK, THE SERVICE DEPT FOUND THAT YOU CANNOT PUT MORE THAN 4.6 QUARTS INTO THE RAV4. THE FACTORY PUT IN 5 QUARTS, AND THE DEALERSHIP ALSO PUT IN 5 QUARTS AT THE FIRST APPT. THE PROBLEM HAS NOW BEEN SOLVED SINCE THE CORRECT AMOUNT OF OIL IN NOW IN THE CAR.

PURCHASED AUTO 3/20/19 AND AT THAT TIME OIL APPEARED TO BE RIGHT AT MARK ON DIPSTICK. A MONTH LATER NOTICED THE OIL LEVEL RISING. TOOK RAV4 BACK TO DEALER 7/5/19 AND HAD NEW OIL AND FILTER INSTALLED AND DIPSTICK SET AT PROPER MARK. DEALER FELT IT WAS PROBABLY OVERFILLED AT FACTORY. HOWEVER, ON 7/20/19 THE OIL IS NOW 1/2 INCH ABOVE THE MARK SET BY THE DEALER ON 7/5. CONCERNED THIS MIGHT BE PROBLEMATIC FOR ALL RAVS. WILL BE CONTACTING DEALER AGAIN FOR POSSIBLE RESOLUTION.

VEHICLE MAKES A GRINDING/WINDING/LURCHING NOISE WHILE ACCELERATING, BRAKING AND DURING NORMAL DRIVING. PROBLEM GETS WORSE EVERY DAY.
