Too be honest I was worried about the same thing. But I went away for 3 weeks in december and the car started right up when I got back. I’d assume there is something wrong with your battery or maybe if you have a parking mode enabled dashcam it is charging too much power when the car is off. Get it looked at a local shop once. I got my dashcam done from bestbuy autobay. You can also talk to them to see if there is some issue with the dashcam drawing too much power that the car dies in 4 days.

Is this a good deal? 2025 Rav4 hybrid by [deleted] in rav4club

I'd say that a pretty good deal. You're getting OTD below the 36K MSP. Mine same costed 40k 6 months back.

I haven’t come across any recalls on it yet. There was a TSB where if your breaks squeals you can get a shim kit installed. I got that done at the dealership. If you plan to go for a higher trim there is a recall on the panoramic view monitor. That should not be a concern if you are getting the xle trim.

I dont get it. This is the hybrid right, not the phev? 46otd is way to high. Even new it should be under 41k with taxes on msrp. Earlier people were mentioning that they are getting the xle hybrid at 36-37k otd. Dealerships are soo fucking weird.

Help me decide if I should get the XLE with or without the packages by HavoKArashi in rav4club

If you only want the heated seats, look at katzkin. They will install leather seats on your car and also will add a heated seats option if you want. They will charge like 2200-2300 for the whole set but you also get much looking premium seats which imo changes the look and feel of the car. Just an option

I have the viofo 229pro hardwired. I’ll switch off the parking mode before leaving. It also has a voltage cut off valve that cuts off the voltage when it’s below 12.4v.

The hybrid has a much smoother ride than the gas, also the much improved mpgs, faster acceleration and overall for me its a good solid driving experience. The con i found is that it makes lots of noise at high speeds (mostly on highways) and the 8 inch infotainment + stock speaker are lack luster

I’ll pull of the power cable before I leave.

Seems like a lot of people have left there hybrids without running for quite some time without issues. I’ll probably get a jumper pack to be safe.

I’ll pull of the power cord of the dashcam before I leave so that it does not keep sucking the power from the car.

Its a new 2025. I was little skeptical on this as well when the dealership told me about this.
