2017 Toyota Rav4 hybrid problems
The Toyota RAV4 (Japanese: トヨタ・RAV4, Hepburn: Toyota Ravufō) is a compact crossover SUV produced by the Japanese automobile manufacturer Toyota. It is known for starting the wave of compact crossovers.
It made its debut in Japan and Europe in 1994, and in North America in 1995, being launched in January 1996. The vehicle was designed for consumers wanting a vehicle that had most of the benefits of SUVs, such as increased cargo room, higher visibility, and the option of full-time four-wheel drive, along with the manoeuvrability and fuel economy of a compact car. The vehicle's name is an abbreviation of "Recreational Active Vehicle with 4-wheel drive", or "Robust Accurate Vehicle with 4-wheel drive", although not all models come equipped with the four-wheel drive system.
For the third-generation model, Toyota offered both short- and long-wheelbase versions of the RAV4. Short-wheelbase versions were sold in Japan and Europe; long-wheelbase versions in Australia and North America. Toyota of Japan also sold the longer-wheelbase version as the Toyota Vanguard (Japanese: トヨタ・ヴァンガード, Hepburn: Toyota Vangādo) at Toyopet Store dealership chain from 2005 through 2016. RAV4 for the Japanese market were sold at two different Toyota dealership chains, Corolla Store and Netz.
In 2019, the RAV4 was the best-selling SUV of any type in the world, and the fourth best-selling passenger car overall. North America is the largest market, with 535,000 units sold in 2019, followed by Europe (133,000) and China (127,000). By February 2020, a total of 10 million RAV4s had been sold globally.

Common 2017 Toyota Rav4 hybrid problems
Based on complaints from owners of the 2017 Toyota Rav4 Hybrid, common problems include:
- Electrical Issues:
- Hybrid models of the Rav4 are prone to electrical system problems, such as the vehicle shutting off while driving and displaying a "Charging system fault" error. Repair costs for this issue range from $200 to $6300, depending on the severity. To prevent buying a Rav4 with electrical issues, buyers are recommended to thoroughly test the vehicle and have a mechanic inspect any odd behaviors or errors.
- Steering Pulls To One Side:

- Summary: My Toyota RAV4 was involved in an accident. My vehicle was rear-ended on [XXX], at the corner of [XXX] and [XXX] in Tucson, AZ. Because it was during rush hour traffic, I moved my vehicle to an adjacent parking lot. It was while I was in this parking lot that I experienced brake failure and I was unable to stop my vehicle. As a result, my car hit a concrete pillar in the parking lot. This automatically stopped my vehicle and resulted in front end damage to my vehicle. 911 was dispatched and a sheriff was called to the accident scene. My car was towed to a tow yard before the Toyota collision center could begin work on estimating the amount of damages to my vehicle for the front-end and rear-end damage. My insurance company totaled my vehicle. I contacted Toyota to notify them of this brake failure. I was notified by a third party to contact you to report this incident.

- Components: UNKNOWN OR OTHER
- Summary: About two months ago (March 2024), a smell started to appear in the vehicle cabin whenever the vehicle is being driven. It became stronger over time and is particularly strong when the HVAC system was being used. I took the vehicle to a reputed independent repair shop who diagnosed the problem as leaking AC coolant within the passenger cabin. They gave a printed diagnosis that I then shared with Toyota because the vehicle mileage is under 35,000, for assistance in fixing this problem. However, Toyota North America manager Michael from their Corporate Headquarters in Plano, Texas informed me today (May 24, 2024) that Toyota does not want to help me with the repair because I had been using an independent repair shop instead of the Toyota dealership for regular maintenance on my vehicle. I am stuck with a vehicle that cannot be used due to a strong odor of AC coolant which is potentially hazardous. An internet search reveals numerous others who have experienced similar issues with their RAV4 vehicles, so it would be in the interests of the general public to report this to the NHTSA so that action can be taken if this problem is found to be widespread.

POWER TRAIN PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-04-29
- VIN: JTMDFREV4HD
- Components: POWER TRAIN
- Summary: Vehicle has less than 50,000 miles. We purchased this vehicle new. Both inner CV Axles are leaking grease. I expected, for a Toyota brand, for these parts to last much longer. It is difficult to know how long these have been leaking, but suspect for quite some time. Meaning these parts have been quite defective for possibly over a year or two. If these were to dry out without knowing, the CV could completely lock up--very dangerous.

Positive 2017 Toyota Rav4 hybrid car reviews

We absolutely love our two 2017 RAV4 Hybrid Limiteds, but we have noticed a few areas that could use improvement. Firstly, we have noticed that it lacks the foot-activated rear hatch opening technology that other SUVs have. Secondly, we feel that the Toyota Entune technology could be improved. Perhaps Toyota could consider using a different technology, as opposed to Entune, if they compared it to Apple's technology. Lastly, we have noticed that the plastic spoiler located above the rear hatch is melting and delaminating from the door. Unfortunately, the dealer claims that this is due to the reflection of Low E Window coating onto our vehicles, which is not covered by warranty. It's worth noting that this is happening to both of our RAV4's. Overall, we are very pleased with our Hybrid RAV4's.

Your vehicle sounds like a great fit for you! I'm glad to hear that you're satisfied with its performance and comfort. It's impressive that you've averaged 34.08 MPG over the past 2 years, and it's great to hear that all of the safety systems are working correctly. It's also reassuring to know that you haven't had any reliability issues. While some competitors may have better interiors, it's good to hear that you find the vehicle's interior to be okay and that it has plenty of room and cargo space. It's also great that you've had a seamless experience switching between gas and electric. With Toyota Care, you've had zero maintenance costs, and it's a no-brainer to sign up for Toyota Care Plus at a cost of $329 for another 2 years, which also covers a new air filter and cabin filter at 30,000 miles. It's impressive that you've had such a positive experience with the vehicle over the past 3 years, and it's great to hear that you're still getting great MPG with no problems or expenses. Thank you for sharing your experience with us!

Hey there! If you're thinking about buying a car, don't wait any longer! This car is definitely worth it and you won't regret it.

Please make sure to check all features and don't assume anything.

Quiet, good power, and good fuel economy, even for the hybrid SUV niche. The interior is roomy and there are so many features and capabilities that I'm still trying to figure them all out. I purchased it as a 4-year-old used car with 41K miles and I'm still quite happy with it. If I could change anything, I would have them raise the rear package tray a few inches to provide some minor storage for road emergency gear beneath it, like my Prius had. It would still have plentiful cargo space.

Are you having problems with your 2017 Toyota Rav4 hybrid?
Jerel Hauck 2024-11-25
The 2019 Rav 4 gas version gets about 33mpg, which is the same mileage I got with the 2017 Hybrid. It's not worth paying extra for the Hybrid. Additionally, my 2019 has way more pickup than the Hybrid did. Unfortunately, I had an accident with the 2017 Hybrid and the airbags never deployed, even though the collision was direct and frontal. My son also had a Hybrid Toyota and experienced the same disappointing gas mileage results. Despite these issues, we have always owned Toyotas and will probably continue to do so, just not with Hybrids. Lastly, I should mention that the tires were worn out in under 20000 miles.

Acceleration is as poor as stated, but it is important to note that this is a fuel-efficient vehicle designed for a smooth and steady ride. While I have not yet achieved the advertised mileage, I am confident that with proper care and maintenance, this car will perform exceptionally well.

If you're 6 ft. and weigh over 200 lbs, this car may not be the best fit for you. However, if you're looking for a car with great mileage, this may not be the one you want.

The aggressive bolstering on the seats caused discomfort and pain in my hips. Mild bolsters are acceptable, but not necessary on a non-sporty car. In contrast, I have experienced bolsters in a Corvette that were comfortable. Toyota could learn from Chevy in this regard. Despite the positive aspects of the car, such as the quiet ride, LED headlights, and unique color, the discomfort caused by the seats ultimately led me to return the vehicle after only 5 months of ownership. A car that causes pain is not desirable, neither for the driver nor the passengers.
