Update to prior review on 8 speed transmission

We bought the 2019 model in Feb. In the earlier review, I mentioned the 8 speed transmission was the worst ever and the only reason I would not recommend it. Opened up a ticket with Toyota corporate, expressed my frustration and expected it fixed. They contacted the dealer who then contacted me and said a fix had come out in August. After the fix, the shifting problem is resolved. It's still not a rocket but we knew that. With the issue fixed, I recommend the vehicle.

Frustrated and disappointed and angry

Disappointed with 2019 Rav 4 Limited. Disappointed in Toyota. After having my Rav 4 for 5 months, approx 2,000-2,500 miles started hearing GROANING type noise when car is upshifting and downshifting at low speeds going into 3rd gear or so. Been to dealer, contacted Toyota. They will not do anything about it because they say there is no fix. Also nothing mechanically wrong. But something is wrong. No brand new car should be making this groaning, grunting sound. From what I read Toyota knew of this problem prior to release and released this vehicle anyway, not caring about how it will affect the consumer and customer satisfaction. I feel Toyota does not care about quality anymore. So disgusted and disappointed. Shame on Toyota to continue to boast about their quality.

Excellent SUV made in Japan.

Best value for the money for a brand new, AWD, fully loaded SUV, Panoramic sunroof, 19” wheels and best of all made in Japan. Amazing trunk space and ample leg room in all seats.

Perfect for an everyday driver

This was my first brand new vehicle, and has exceeded my expectations. Every feature is easy and intuitive to use. This vehicle is fun to drive, has every comfort you could need, and I couldn’t be happier with it!

Very satisfied with the vehicle overall

This car style has everything I need and want besides the hub caps that it came with. Except for the hub caps. We switched those out right away but everything else was perfect.

No android auto

Really like all the feature except it doesn't have android auto and only one USB port. I usually get hand me downs, but this car would not work for me.

Entune Infotainment & Scout GPS are the worst !

Car engine noise is excessive. dash controls are not functional friendly and difficult and dangerous to use at night. Far worse than my former RAV4 Hybrid and my 3 Prius's.
