When driving the vehicle at approximately 40-50 mph, in 4th gear, a vibration or shudder is felt in the transmission. It is a slight loss of power. It can be felt intermittently as long as you are holding a constant speed. If you manually or automatically shift down it stops, but as soon as you maintain speed again it will come back. It doesn't necessary matter which roadway you are driving on. From my understanding…

In the past 4 years the charcoal canister and purge valve has gone bad. Why does the have to be replaced so often? I'm on a fixed income and can't afford to replace this every four years, then i bought this vehicle good faith.

A few days ago, i turned on my vehicle and saw three lights, check engine, electronic stability control, and 4wd. I took my vehicle into the toyota dealer, which diagnosed my problem as water in the charcoal canister that is part of the evaporative fuel system. Problem is that fuel vapors can now accumulated in and about the vehicle. The dealer checked with toyota to see if it would pay for the repair. They…

Dealer says that charcoal cannister, which is part of evaporative system, has failed by allowing water to ruin charcoal. Wants $1500 to repair. Says tsb for this doesn't cover my vehicle due to mileage (would be covered in ca). Fuel fumes can accumulate if this is not repaired.

I bought the car 8/31/2010. The car always jumped for no reason. Henderickson toyota said nothing was wrong. I saw 2010 rav4 was involved in a lawsuit that toyota corporation lost in 2013. I was never notified. The car was rpaired for a floor mat problem, but not the motor jump. I sold the car because the car was in 2015 because it had a second major problem with poor control of backend.
