The fact that the “door open” alarm comes on immediately is a good thing. The goal is to inform you to secure the door you before you enter into traffic. I’d much rather hear the alarm immediately than it be delayed and now I’m in traffic with no choice but listen to it until I can find a place to pull over. That’s a hella petty complaint.
I got no issues with an instant alarm, but a nonstop alarm? My concern with that system is 10 years from now when a door sensor wears out. Heck, what if it happened now during our chip shortages and covid? It has been a nightmare to find parts for new cars. There aren't enough parts being made. Your sensor is out of stock for 6 months and that beeping happens nonstop. No thanks. It would be cool if you could control the timer of it. Probably an advanced setting in a secret menu.
If that rear door is open, then your sucking exhaust fumes into the cabin. I hope you don’t have kids in the back seat sitting on that HV battery and inhaling exhaust fumes. 😵💫
your problems: 1) i bought a wireless dongle for apple carplay for my 2019 rav4 hybrid and now no cable needed 2) I bilieve you can turn off the notification sound in the settings of your car if you aren't able to shut your doors completely or the cargo during transportation needs....or perhaps lower your seats and stuff to make it shut properly? 3) Fuel tank issue is fixed by swapping out a whole new tank and sensor that took me a day to the dealership with an appointment inadvanced. 4) I think you should leave a google review for your dealership regarding their dishonesty with the gas tank problem since that was mentioned at the official bulletin of toyota.
The honesty of the salesman aside, your estimation of "a couple of million Rav4's sold" is WAY off base, in 2019 and 2020 they sold a combined 875,000 Rav4's of ALL models, Gas powered and Hybrid models, LE, XLE, XSC, Limited and Premium. Not a "couple of million.
I have a 2022 RAV4 Hybrid and I never had any issues with the fuel tank. I actually get about 600 miles of range if the battery is fully charged and I fill the tank to the TOP.
Come on, stop with the "Karen" crap. That's getting old and not the lest bit original. The video is about this guy's gripes, you don't have to agree but slamming the guy isn't necessary, just don't watch anymore of his stuff if you don't want to - it's a choice.
Yep, that's one of the few things that bother me. Many people said it sounds like a choir, to me it's the same, but a choir of demons. Mine is too new to bother with the fan filter yet, but it's on my list to regularly check.
You don't have the problem .your dte fluctuates based on your mpg avg over the last fill ups..your avg is 37.1mpg.. toyota gets 580 dte from multiplying 14.5 gallons x 40mpg(their advertised avg) ..your avg is lower so around 530 dte is correct and your needle is way past the F mark.
@@Kiwi-rf4jv I'm kind of thinking you don't either. Stick with me a moment. When the dealer filled your tank, my take is that Toyota only put a gallon or so in so for putting on the train and then on/off the truck and a trip to station for the dealer. Therefore, they were able to fill from the bottom which was all counted toward DTE. After that fill, the last 2.5 gallons of reserve is no longer counted to DTE. With your 480 and then another 92 (if it was counted) in reserve would be 570 or so. Since we don't want to burn the reserve, the count is your 480. At least that's my .02 worth.
Thanks for the video. I assume your rav4 is a LE or XLE hybrid model. One question, When you do the math on saving the fuel, required car services, replacement of the big battery, and etc is it really worthwhile to drive a Hybrid or no? It would be great if you could put down your math here so I can relate easier to your opinion on this. Thank you.
Hi Amin. I have an XLE. Short answer on the math, to me it’s a no brained. If you’re worried about the battery, the RAV4 comes with a 10 year 100k miles warranty on the battery. Thanks for watching Amin!
@@AM1381.5 yes, plenty of Toyotas batteries have lasted longer than 10 years. They’ve come down a lot to replace. The hybrid is faster, smoother and quieter than the gas model and needs less maintenance over time. It has less things to break on it too
I figure that I get the Hybrid paid for in about 2 years. A no brainer. The warranty on my battery is 10 years or 150,000 miles. Keep the battery cooling fan clean and unobstructed. The battery will last much longer.
You can most likely turn off that safety buzzer with OBD software called Toyota Techstream. This is basically oem software Toyota uses to scan your engine. You can turn off and customize many many features with it. eBay and Amazon sell the software.
The sounds in the cabin drive me crazy. All sorts of rattling, buzzing and squeaking from all over the cabine. Especially from dashboard behind the wheel, phone charging area behind the shifter, fifth cargo door, sun roof... Even the driver seat squeaks when accelerating from the lumbar support cushion. I can understand that Toyota reduced the weight of the vehicle by using a lighter type of plastic, but I could not have imagined such bad materials in a vehicle with a price over 40k euros.
The sensor beeping would only be bad if you were needing to leave hatch partly open to drive with something that’s hanging securely out like beams, wood or something … ur screwed :/
Use your blue tooth connection. You can turn off the safety senses off. Go in to the settings on your menu on your steering wheel and turn it off. Close your doors genius. Salesmen are not %100 honest.
“Here’s what I hate about my Rav4: My 3’ phone cable that I bought separately and plugged into my Rav4. The fact that I drive with my trunk door open. Also, my accent, which makes me sound like I’m intellectually challenged, which given my first issue I clearly am.”
On my 2019 rav 4 LE there's a square hole above the phone port where I stuff my cord in to make it shorter and pulls out to make it longer. Problem solved for me anyways.
I test drove the rav4 hybrid in 2019, and this year test drove the Venza hybrid. Both of them frlt line extremely noisy and cheap. For the premium Toyota asks for, the certainly are fooling its customers. No real mechanical AWD, fuel tank problems, Safety sense is useless in long trips, as its to dumb to properly turn in a curve. All the Japanese brands, especially Toyota and Honda, are still relying on customers thinking that they have very good cars. In fact thry fo not have, and fooling the customers.
any phone connects bluetooth wirelessly… that’s literally what bluetooth is… a wireless connection… but to use apple carplay or android auto, you have to plug it in.

That is extremely annoying and a valid issue. You should be able to mute it.

4:16 valid point - it’s annoying - mattress 🛏
It’s a good thing you bought a Toyota and not anything from GM. You would have gone postal by now.
your problems:
1) i bought a wireless dongle for apple carplay for my 2019 rav4 hybrid and now no cable needed
2) I bilieve you can turn off the notification sound in the settings of your car if you aren't able to shut your doors completely or the cargo during transportation needs....or perhaps lower your seats and stuff to make it shut properly?

Which wireless dongle did you buy…I can’t figure out what will work
Man, drive with the cargo door open isnt safe.....mostly for other drivers.
according to your video, Toyota didn’t lie. Your dealer lied ...
i guess, your issue with the phone cord is your fault, should done research prior. The back door complain, LOL. It is for your safety and others.
What issue though? Just let the cord hang over the side.

My husband asked the same question when I was buying my Rav in February and we got the same answer.
Can you make a video of you starring at the screen with malice and say "roadhouse! "?
After the fuel tank fix, were you able to get the full 14 gallons?
I have a 2022 RAV4 Hybrid and I never had any issues with the fuel tank. I actually get about 600 miles of range if the battery is fully charged and I fill the tank to the TOP.
Man he complains more than other chicks!!
Can this guy please be the next Karen!!!!
LMAO

@@dj3114 Karen 🤡
Does the backup sound or hybrid engine noises bother you? Do you clean the filter for the battery? If so is that annoying?
None of that is annoying, and does he seem like a guy who’d even know about the battery fan filter?
Yep, that's one of the few things that bother me. Many people said it sounds like a choir, to me it's the same, but a choir of demons. Mine is too new to bother with the fan filter yet, but it's on my list to regularly check.
Subbed just for the accent.
Hi M3! Thanks fah’ watching! 😁
Do you mean you could only put 2 gallons in every time you got gas? That’s hard to believe.
1:00 hahahah I’m done… awesome review!
Thanks, informative.
Hi may thanks for watching!
So if you don’t have your phone with you and it’s not plugged in you can’t use that play?
You don't have the problem
.your dte fluctuates based on your mpg avg over the last fill ups..your avg is 37.1mpg.. toyota gets 580 dte from multiplying 14.5 gallons x 40mpg(their advertised avg) ..your avg is lower so around 530 dte is correct and your needle is way past the F mark.
Nope. My avg is 37.2mpg, I’ve just 480. (Rav4 XSE hybrid 2021). I dont know what happend?

@@TheComebackKid So, with the cost of replacing the battery in 10 years, does it still worth to get the hybrid?
Hi Amin. From my perspective, 100% worth it, this rav4 is the best vehicle I have ever owned.

yeah I bought Toyota tech stream twice, each one from 2 different vendors, couldn't get either one to work.
wait, why the fuck are you complaining about the cargo door alarm?
Because this happened when I carried a mattress in the trunk
Almost all car salesman are lieing fuckers lol. Congrats on the car I be getting mines this week. Excellent review thx

Why don’t you just get out and close the door… lol
He did, but couldn't with the mattress. He stated that.
I will tell you one thing, that annoying beeping got me to put my seatbelt on as a habit. I hate that.
He said he did a ton of research, so I'd presume yes since it's on nearly every maintenance video.
The sensor beeping would only be bad if you were needing to leave hatch partly open to drive with something that’s hanging securely out like beams, wood or something … ur screwed :/
I suppose that just goes to show, Toyota does not expect you to haul any of that...
In my luxury car crossover I don’t have to plug n my phone for car play it’s auto remote. Dang it’s good to know.
Use your blue tooth connection. You can turn off the safety senses off. Go in to the settings on your menu on your steering wheel and turn it off. Close your doors genius. Salesmen are not %100 honest.
Then Firmly Close it. How hard is that? That was petty 🤣🤣🤣
I love the first thing you hate. 😂😂😂
I dislike iPhone and Apple products.
So funny. This is exactly how I feel.
😁
It should annoy you.close the door.
Solution to your apple car play issue, get an airfly and go cordless.
You and your petty dislikes lol
This is the perfect meme for first world problems.

Why not just get out, shut the trunk. Then drive off?
On my 2019 rav 4 LE there's a square hole above the phone port where I stuff my cord in to make it shorter and pulls out to make it longer. Problem solved for me anyways.
Hi Barry, I checked my 2021, the square hole does not exist. Thanks for watching!
@@TheComebackKid It exists on the LE and XLE. However, it does no good to help with this as it only leads to the inside of the panel.
dude, if thats all you have to grip about, grow up. close the door, get a shorter cable an shut up!
"Fuggitaboutit!"
He ain’t from ny
-dislikes video because the rav4 is amazing-
These are minor issue lol
You are to much
Petty!

Why you buy it whats the purpose???trade in its very simple…there is lot people loosing job because of covid and then u complain about your rav 4..
Dude. My Android phone works beautifully via bluetooth in my 2017 Rav4.... so stop being an applehead and get an Android.
