2019 Toyota RAV4

Both of my rear control arms failed on my 2019 rav 4. They failed at the same time, this is very unusual so I looked into it and found a recall Toyota's 2020 recall (20TA08 / NHTSA 20V-286). however it only involves the front control arms. I feel this needs to be looked into. I’m asking my mechanic to take pictures and document everything.

My transmission failed, torque converter. My check engine light came on with "AWD malfunction" on the dash on 10/21/26. I had to get it towed to the closest dealership. I was told it is covered under warranty to replace and repair, the following Tuesday 10/27/2 I havd to call and ask what was going on. They then informed me the part is on back order until end of December (they do not have a date) 2026- Leaving me with no vehicle for 2 months, Krause Toyota will not let me drive the car (not state legal with a faulty transmission) and only gave me a rental for 5 days. I am now forced to pay out of pocket for however long they will have my Rav4. I have called the Brand Engagement department and they have not been very helpful. The guys in the service department at Krause are extremely rude and bothered by the fact that I had questions. I did ask about the lawsuit regarding my 2019 Rav4 faulty transmissions and they said they didn't know anything about it. Any help regarding this very frustrating matter would be helpful.

2019 Toyota RAV4, Adventure model, AWD. Toyota issues a Toyota Customer Support Program "20TE03" which extends warranty coverage for the front transfer case electro-magnetic clutch in specific 2019–2020 Toyota RAV4 Adventure and Limited AWD vehicles. Toyota's "brand engagement center" says it covers Adventure models manufactured Mar 2018 thru Oct 2019 and my vehicle was mfgd Jan 10th, 2019, smack in the middle of the production period that is covered. Toyota says it's covered under the CSP, but my local dealers are denying it, saying when they try to process the work order, it denies it, saying the last vin KW013786 does not qualify, since the W digit can only be an A, B or C. But when the Toyota "brand engagement center" searches by using my VIN, it says my VIN is indeed included in the "20TE03" Customer Support Program ticket. Or said another way, Toyota says it's covered, the dealer says it's not.

"I am filing a deceptive trade practices and fraudulent service documentation complaint against Rodland Toyota of Everett. I brought my 2019 Toyota RAV4 in for a critical drivetrain defect under an active corporate warranty program. The dealership returned the vehicle to me with official invoice documentation stating they inspected and test-drove the vehicle. However, the official paperwork provided by the dealer shows that the 'Odometer In' and 'Odometer Out' mileage are completely identical. The dealership committed consumer fraud by falsifying safety inspection records and failing to perform any diagnostic work, leaving me to drive an unsafe vehicle. Toyota Corporate Case Management is now using this fraudulent lack of replication to deny my coverage under Customer Support Program 20TE03."

Code P26CB likely a premature error on water pump causing overheating

The heated steering wheel in my 2019 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid experienced a significant overheating incident that resulted in smoke, bubbling, and damage to the steering wheel's leather covering. Approximately 10 minutes after activating the heated steering wheel function, smoke began coming from the steering wheel. The material beneath the leather covering appeared to become excessively hot and began visibly bubbling and expanding. As the overheating continued, the leather covering ruptured, creating a hole in the steering wheel. Prior to this incident, the steering wheel was intact, with no punctures, holes, or visible damage. The hole developed during the overheating incident as the material beneath the leather bubbled and the covering ruptured. This occurred during normal use of the vehicle's factory-installed heated steering wheel feature. The sudden appearance of smoke and excessive heat created a serious safety concern, including the potential for burns, fire, driver distraction, and loss of vehicle control. The vehicle was subsequently taken to a Toyota dealership for inspection. The exact cause of the overheating has not been determined. I am reporting this incident because a heated steering wheel should not produce smoke, overheat to the point of damaging its exterior covering, or create a potential fire hazard during normal operation.
