2018 Toyota RAV4 4dr SUV
176-horsepower 2.5L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD
| 15000 mi | 4 times now the 'part-time' AWD has failed, thrown a code, and disabled cruse control and other features. The dealership claims there is nothing wrong... the funky computer controlled 'haldex' style clutch differential only works under 20 mph. AND, every time it has snowed... something has gone wrong with it, leaving us with fwd only... it's very frustrating. |
2016 Toyota RAV4 4dr SUV
176-horsepower 2.5L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD
| 21700 mi | Oil leak from transfer case. Major repair requiring removal of steering rack and transfer case from the vehicle. Covered under warranty. Out-of-warranty cost would have been in excess of $1,000. Dealer had to wait 5 days for parts to arrive. |
| 42000 mi | Transfer case leaking oil again. Repairs performed under Toyota powertrain warranty. Problem not corrected - started leaking same day car returned from shop. Continuing problem with oil leak from front differential / transfer case. This is a 3rd attempt to correct the same problem. Dealer replaced entire differential / transfer case assembly, tested the vehicle and still leaking. Dealer says that they don't know how to fix the problem, Toyota is mute and does not answer dealers questions. Escalated with Toyota. Problem still not resolved. Car sitting at the dealer waiting for Toyota resolution. Very disappointed by Toyota's terrible warranty service and lack of response to a recurring vehicle problem. A quick summary: 4 repairs / 4 shop visits: 1st repair (in 2018) - 3 days, replaced transfer case seals - fixed oil leak for 2+ yrs 2nd repair - 1 day (almost immediately after the first repair) to correct front wheel alignment that was messed up during transfer case repairs 3rd repair - after 2 yrs oil leaking again, 3 days, dealer removed transfer case, replaced all seals and re-sealed the flange between transfer case and transmission. Brought car back home, oil still leaking 2 hrs later. 4th repair - 13 days in total, dealer replaced complete transfer case ($3k+), tested car, still leaking, dealer decided to keep car for further repairs. Dealer requested authorization to replace transmission, Toyota dragged their feet for a few days but finally agreed. New transmission was installed, picked up car yesterday, has been sitting in the garage for 12 hrs, no sign of oil leak. Over $10k and 20 days to repair a small oil leak. Paid by Toyota under powertrain warranty. They could have saved a lot of money and time if they did it right the first time. A quick research on the internet confirms that it is a fairly common problem, apparently caused by defective transmission cases. They probably have a TSB on this already. So if your 4th gen RAV4 is dripping gear oil on your garage floor, get it fixed before the warranty expires, because otherwise you may end up with a huge repair bill. Or you may chose to ignore it, but eventually the transfer case will end up dry with no lubrication. |
| 47000 mi | Another fluid leak from the transmission. Dealer claims that the leak was due to loose vent/breather that wasn't installed properly when the transmission was replaced in March. |
