2020 RAV4 Hybrid Limited/ Low Miles - SUDDENLY DIED
My 2020 RAV4 Hybrid has only 48,000 miles and has been taken in for regular servicing at the Toyota dealership-- no issues prior to this month. I woke up one morning a few weeks ago, turned on my car, and got a rotating carousel of error messages. There was a message about a PKSB malfunction and several other flashing messages I had never seen -- followed by "see dealer." I got the car towed to the dealer and they tried replacing the battery only to find that each new battery was also getting immediately drained due to some other problem. Here are a list of the things that needed replacing: Rear Traction Motor with transaxle assembly, combination meter, and floor wiring harness. I know that there are customer support programs out there that have to do with moisture and corrosion of certain cables associated with the parts listed below, but the dealer is insisting that none of those factors are at play. In other words, they are saying there is no applicable recall or customer support programs. I am shocked at the total collapse. The dealer is commnunicating with Toyota headquarters to see if I can get any "goodwill" coverage for these repairs since my 5 year 60,000 mile warranty that would have covered the rear traction motor has just expired about 5 or 6 months ago-- though I only have 48,000 miles.
Has anyone else experienced this level of catastrophic Rav4 Hybrid failure?
