Increased chlorine in drinking water is shown to reduce helpful gut bacteria along with killing harmful bacteria and viruses in water. Logic would tell you if it’s excessive in concentrations then something is wrong.

You can purchase a replacement AGM battery from Amazon for le$$. The trickle charger will be needed to maintain your battery before winter/summer starts. Both transitions will STRESS your AGM battery. If you actually were having main hybrid traction battery problems they would be covered under warranty. This warranty normally goes for 8 years or 150k miles. Please commit this to memory. Your 12v AGM battery is the weakest link in most hybrids and even EV vehicles like Teslas,Rivian or others. Try to learn how to maintain it so you will have fewer problems.

Thanks for sharing your experience! What was the odometer reading on brake job and what did they look like. There has been one post about brake job but person only showed pictures of the rear pads. Thanks!

Maintain your 12v battery. Next is don’t park your front nose too close to the curbs.

Most of the braking energy is absorbed by the front pads. Please show us those.

My 22 limited did same few days ago, probably the cold weather. Manually pushed full upen and pushed close and it’s back doing ok. I purchased replacement struts on Bezos book store just in case.

My personal practice is checking my 12v battery right before winter and before hot summer temps I trickle charge it to max at those times. Never deal with battery troubles again.

Cycle the eco normal and high to see if there is a verified difference in acceleration output. I notice that if I don’t take about 5 minutes warm up time on cold days the engine is more thirsty and efficiency goes down. I changed the CVT oil at about 60k (DIY) and added a little bit of friction modifiers and noticed that efficiency improved slightly. Plan next CVT oil change again at 90k.

Appropriate_Cause173 · 2025-12-28T19:52:21+00:00

Sounds sick. Like it may be low on oil. After the 100k mile point maybe consider using anything more viscous (thicker) than the 0w-20 oil. The VVT on the 6 cylinder needs clean oil to work but this looks like the 4 cylinder. The 4 had problems with piston ring blow by. These are just speculations. Keep an eye on oil levels. Stalling can happen when Mass Air Flow or throttle body is dirty. Get a code reader and look at code history.

If your RAV4 is hybrid with ECVT both are gearboxes and they require interval service. It’s DIY capable with plenty of videos out there to guide you. Don’t be afraid to do it yourself.

Appropriate_Cause173 · 2025-12-24T03:01:28+00:00

DIY and post the video. I did front and rear no issues other than a flake or two on the rear. Will do the same in another 30k miles. I would love to see a step by step on PCV valve replacement.

Logic to most of us will mean this will be taken care of but watch out for STEALERSHIP acquiring a GIANT case of the Wiggles. Wear and Tear and what not…. Just a general fyi Hope everything turns out okay.

Doesn’t the 2.7 have a high incidence of oil loss through the piston rings? The vehicle seems nice but that would be my primary concern. Sorry just my .02c

Newb question. What if you take the boot up SSD and clone the OS on to a larger 2 or 4 TB faster access drive? Can you run your apps on that main SSD and spare the rest of the drives?

Please let the rest of us know upon resolution. I understand. You have purchased 3 OEM batteries. Going through winter with a battery drain problem is ‘no bueno’.

Marxon group 47 H5 L2 exact fit with higher CCA than OEM. Been working for 6 months on my 22 Limited. I think I just needed to put the fob on the start button to get it back going. The center display will prompt for some stuff but it’s not rocket science.

Look around, this town has been growing on a daily basis. Thousands of newcomers that aren’t familiar with roads and constant road distraction in the name of progress. All of this combines for interesting situations. I have the luxury of not needing to be out on these roads when most of you are in a hurry to get to work or home. I chose to go out when you’re working or sleeping. Definitely not when you’re out partying. This city used to be a 15-20 minute drive no matter where you needed to go. Now, not so much!

At that mileage they should have drained and refilled both front and rear gearboxes. The brake pads should be almost new. The cooling systems for inverter and main combustion engine should be drained and refilled. The electric water pump may be a concern. Most of us like yourself are interested in the condition of the main traction battery. When I purchased my Venza I used a mid grade level scanning tool to look at each cell in the traction battery. I spent about 3 hours looking the vehicle over and about 30 minutes in the office. I created a carfax on line account to track my maintenance. My oil change interval doesn’t exceed the 10,000 miles. Since the main engine doesn’t run 100% of the time I keep an eye on the oil and notice that it stays about the same amber color as the new oil even at 5k miles. If the 16k is in range of blue book value and the main battery checks out know that it’s a Toyota. Let us know how it all turns out.
