My lawer send the car back to the import dealer, we claim now : money return if problems are not fixed before April 8.
Rav4 2011 Apr. 1.8 4w cvt
Please give me some tip to fix the problem. The car is great, but I am afraid to make an accident because of numb foot. I am 6 feet 2 inches tall, but I have more than enough leg room. I have an option to return the car during the first year, but I like it and don’t want another car.
I goggled, but it seems I am the only person with this problem. I am absolutely proportional , not known health issues or disabilities ( I may get some if continue to drive this car)
Please help if you faced the same problem and found solution.
After car is warmed up 20 minutes, car dies.
Engine turns but does not start
Checked the full pump 38psi
Looking for advice what to check next
Thank you

We stopped asap and had it towed. A mechanic later told us the clutch plates were fried from working against each other, which damaged the gearbox and that it was all because of a faulty ECM. But then we were given conflicting information by other people.
I’ve been trying to find anyone else who may have had this problem – specifically in the V6 Rav4’s (2006-present). I really wanted to know if this has been an issue for others, as I have only been able to find info for similar things happening in the earlier 4-cylinder models (2001-2003). I would really like info on how it happened to you (circumstances, how old was the car etc.) and how you had it resolved/fixed. Also if it recurred.
We have 2008/2009 model, but if anyone with a V6 has experienced this, I’d love to hear from you. Or if you have links to this issue anywhere else that you know of, please feel free to redirect me to them. I have searched with filters and looked up TSB’s etc but not really found much, yet am told others have experienced this. So I’m trying to get it resolved and find out a little more. Thanks in advance!
Not sure I can replace it myself.
Toyota said "haven't seen it happen before", that what they say about everything.
Afraid, I have bought my last Toyota, my loyalty has run out.
It turned out to be a back problem -- my back, a slipped disc. A few sessions with a good physical therapist and repetition of the exercises she showed me fixed the problem. Yes, it *seemed* to be the seat, and the floor may indeed slope the wrong way, but when changing the seat and the car didn't fix the problem, I had to face the fact that it was my body that needed fixing.
Hope this helps!
Thanks in advance.
I would look around for someone who has experience rebuilding Toyota engines. Depending on where you live, it might be easy or impossible. Get an estimate or two for rebuilding.
If you rebuild the engine, you are still not going to get that money back. You should see what you car is worth using this site, kbb, or nada and make a call. My gut says you should have it hauled to the dump.
I have a 2006 RAV4 V6 that developed a check engine light. The code was #3 coil failure and my local mechanic declined the repair because the "book" called for removal of the air intake manifold and throttle body to access #3 coil. When I looked behind the intake manifold with a mirror, the back side coils & spark plugs are in fact accessible. Disconnect one electric connector, remove one bolt and the coil comes out. replace the new one and done in 20 min plus trip to Toyota parts. Roy
