Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“While driving 35 on a local road, the vehicle lost all power to the propulsion system. Power steering and brakes worked as I was lucky to be able to coast safely to a turnout. The vehicle warning light saying check EV system, have dealer check immediately was illuminated on the information display. This is a common problem for the rav4 EV as the Toyota and tesla parts have trouble maintaining communication with each other within a part called the gateway ECM. My car was serviced by the dealer after this incident, where they updated the firmware loaded on the gateway ECM.”
