2019 Toyota RAV4

The rear power liftgate metal hinges are peeling away from the body of the vehicle. My liftgate doesn't close properly and is out of alignment to stay safely latched closed and has become 100% unusable. There is a 1.5 inch gap (you can see light and water can enter) on rear pass. side and the door is tightly jammed closed on the rear driver side. After speaking with a Toyota service manager, he casually let me know he sees this frequently. I have learned this is a very known issue yet Toyota will do nothing to prevent these defective hinges from being installed or cover repairs. The service manager told to take it to the collision center to get quoted on a repair. I did and my out of pocket cost (because Toyota won't take responsibility for this defect) is between $700 and $2700, depending how much damage occurred to other components caused by the defective hinges (the collision company has also stated they've done many of these repairs). My vehicle showed no visible sign of failure prior to breaking. It would occasionally fail to close, as if an object was in the way, but upon re-trying to power liftgate button, it would close. Sometimes it would take 3 to 4 times to be successful. But, it never appeared as if it was out of alignment or damaged until last weekend when I tried to close it and it forced closed itself VERY incorrectly. Considering my vehicle was purchased less than 5 years ago, brand new, this shouldn't be happening. It definitely shouldn't be showing this kind of wear on a vehicle I haven't even had to change brakes, tires or a simple headlight on the ENTIRE ownership of the vehicle. When I use those items every single day. My liftgate is used 1 time or less a week. The cost of this repair is half what I still owe on it and I didn't even do anything to cause it, it happened due to faulty hinges that are NOT safe. How do I know my hatch won't open while driving? Or that it won't break opposite and my liftgate becomes unsecured from my suv altogeth

THE CENTRAL ENTERTAINMENT TOUCH SCREEN /DISPLAY HAS NOT BEEN WORKING AT ALL. CARPLAY AND CHARGING DOES NOT WORK AT ALL AS DISPLAY IS NOT WORKING. SPEAKER SETTINGS AS WELL AS GAS MILEAGE INFO CAN NOT BE ACCESSED AS IT DISPLAYS NOT WORKING OR NOT RESPONSIVE. I TRIEDTO CHECK WITH TOYOTA DEALERSHIP HERE IN LOUISIANA AND THEY ARE SAYING THAT IT IS OUTSIDE WARRANTY AND HAVE TO PAY 1500 DOLLARS TO CHANGE THE RADIO AND THE DISPLAY COMPLETELY. TO ME PERSONALLY IT LOOKS LIKE A SOFTWARE ISSUE RATHER THAN A HARDWARE PROBLEM. HOPE IT HAS A SIMPLE FIX. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE SO THAT OTHER DRIVER'S DO NOT ENCOUNTER THIS PROBLEM WHILE DRIVING AND GET INTO A LIFE-THREATENING ACCIDENT. APPRECIATE YOUR HELP.

I own a 2019 Toyota RAV 4. After realizing that my liftgate does not close properly I discovered that the hinges are cracked resulting in issues with opening and closing the tailgate and causing a misalignment when the door finally shuts. In further researching I have discovered there are hundreds of vehicles affected and owners impacted by this manufacturer defect. Toyota fails to take any action despite having an extended warranty. I fully believe this should be a recall issue with full responsibility on the vehicle manufacturer for installing faulty parts.

My issued started as a persistent warning light that the vehicle needs to be taken to dealer. They informed me that the the Engine Coolant Bypass Valve was malfunctioning. This problem is so common that the service writer was able to diagnose it within 10 seconds of hearing the symptoms. Apparently these parts are used in the RAV4, the corolla and some Camry’s 2019-2021. These aren’t even a question of if they will break but how soon (sometimes as early as 20,000 miles). My car has 38,036 miles on it. It is very low mileage and driven conservatively. The safety issue is that this repair is to put the same faulty part in, which costs just shy of $900, only to have the same issue reoccur in another 20-30k miles. It is tempting to continue to drive the car without making the repair, as it is costly and frustrating, yet it is not safe so the repair must be done. This is such a widespread problem in these cars, that there is no doubt that some drivers just cannot afford the expense and are continuing to operate their vehicles, regardless of safety. I believe this should be a recall or at the least a warranty enhancement to the parts as they become faulty, so that until Toyota has a better fix, it is no fault of the driver and not an unexpected expense to cover to drive their fairly new vehicle, which they didn’t expect to have to need costly repairs so soon. This is an issue inherent in either the poor design or the poor manufacturing which forces the drivers to put safety in competition with their financil

Vehicle has been releasing a chemical odor when engine is started. At 36,000 miles the Engine Maintenance Requird light alerted driver to have vehicle checked. Diagnostic indicated the Coolant Bypass Valve was needing replacement. Cost for repair $760 + tax. Part for repair is priced at less than $100 at local car parts store but repair must be done at dealership to maintain powertrain warranty. POV: Excessive price for a part that should not be failing at 36,000 miles. Driver advised to not drive vehicle for safety reasons.

"Engine Maintenance Required See Dealer" message keeps appearing on my bashboard took it to my local Toyota dealer and they confirmed the problem is the coolant bypass valve/hose $150 to find the find the problem and $700 to fix apparently this is common in 2019-2022 RAV4s. Now my car won't drive for long without over heating I have only had my car for a year and a half and drive less than 5,000 a year.

Coolant bypass value malfunction. Engine maintenance required message popped up on dashboard and display screen. The check engine light never came on and still hasn’t came on. Message will come on when starting the car every other time. Was told the radiator value/hose(coolant bypass value) was faulting in most 2019 Rav4s and it’s a common issue they have. If you run the AC, the car will start to overheat and leak

my 2019 Rav4 has a message "to visit the dealer" vehicle needs maintance. i believe code #P2681. The coolant bypass valve. the dealer told me that the coolant bypass valve needs to be replaced. Also through my research this is a know issue with certain Toyota vehicles including the Rav 4. Deal needs approx $1,000 to replace the coolant bypass value. My personal mechanic researched the known issue and wants me to purchase the parts from Toyota #16260-f0010. $119.68 from toyota online parts. I am not sure what to do. No recall "YET" and vehicle not in warranty.
