2019 RAV4 experienced a check engine light and was overheating due to a faulty Coolant Bypass Valve made by Toyota. If unchecked and not replaced it could cause catastrophic failure to engine due to overheating. Toyota charges between $600-1100 for replacement and it is not covered under warranty because Toyota claims it is not part of power train. Had to be replaced at dealer who explained that it is a common issue with this vehicle .

The Engine Maintenance Alert appears on the screen. Mechanic confirmed it is the coolant bypass valve that has been shorted. Forums from other similar model RAV4 report the same issue at low mileage. This can cause the car to stall at high speeds.

"Engine Maintaince Soon" light continues to go off while driving the car making the dashboard impossible to use. Took the Rav4 to the dealership and said it would be $536 to replace the coolant bypass valve. It is a know issue on 2019 and newer Rav4 Toyota vehicles and needs to be recalled.

AIR BAGS
My wife was traveling 45 miles per hour and hit a deer and the airbag did not deploy. After review, the air bag is supposed to deploy at 20 miles per hour. I am especially worried because Toyota has issued Technical Service Bulletin, noting that the rail line leaks and can cause air bag failure. I have brought this to Toyota Corporate and Legal's attention and they have completely denied responsibility and implied that this isn't a serious issue. I asked to have the airbag inspected and they refused, saying we could only do that before repairs had been completed. However, the airbag did not have any work done on it and should be in the same condition as it was during the accident.

STRUCTURE:BODY
While driving on Highway 52 on a Saturday morning at approximately 8:40am (9/23/2023), I heard a loud sound like a gunshot. There was not anything on either side of the highway and no accidents around me. Then I noticed a weird whistling sound and heard little bits of something falling down in the front passenger, driver seat and front middle console. Upon looking up, I saw a gaping hole in the middle of my moonroof and pieces of the glass were coming down inside the car. I looked for any large object that could have possibly come down to hit the moonroof but there were only pieces of glass. Upon parking the car, I saw that the moonroof glass has exploded OUTWARDS toward the sky, not inward, indicating that there was not anything that dropped down through it. There was no other sign outside of the shattered moonroof and pieces. No rock, no nothing. No warning signs, nothing to indicate anything was at all wrong with the moonroof, which actually had worked fine just the prior week, opening and closing as always with no grating sounds or unusual sounds, just the usual smooth open/close for both the 2 opening functions. Upon doing a Google search, we saw that there is a entire list of Toyota owners who have reported this problem but have had Toyota claim that there is nothing they can do and it is NOT a safety issue; Toyota also claims that there had to have been a crack or nick in the moonroof glass of all vehicles that have had this happen but my moonroof had absolutely nothing wrong with it nor did it have any kind of prior damage to this incident happening. Research shows it may be a possible manufacturing error on the glass maker. I am taking the car in to my Toyota dealership to have it repaired. I did call my insurance company but they did not ask me to take it for inspection. They merely gave me the parameters for which they were wiling to pay for part of the repair cost after my deductible. I took ample photos of the damage as soon as it happened.

ENGINE
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. If over 500 people are experiencing the same issue in the same type of car, that is 100% means for a recall. Thank you.

The fuel system will not fill up the full tank. When the tank is half full it signals for the pump to stop and that is all that will go in the tank.
