2013 Torque Converter shudder victim but Auto Zone sells a product in a red tube that stops it immediately and so far permanently. Put it in over 5000 miles ago. Also added 1 pt of transmission fluid while I was at it. We have over 220,000 miles on it and it’s driven to Marietta GA. and Pidgeon Forge TN. regularly. So far so good.
What’s the product called ?
Thank you so much. My wife's RAV4 has been shaking/vibrating.
It sounds like we need to replace the torque converter. I never would have known that without watching your video.
Thank you so much!
Hi. Were you able to fix it?
There is an ECU/PCM software update that needs to be done as well. The main problem was the software not providing the correct fluid pressure to the Torque Converter
@@mickeymang6how do you do that?
@@mickeymang6
You are correct... also some of the vibrations could be due to the normal wear and tear that affect the engine mounts on ALL cars...
Thank you. Torque converter is most likely my issue! Transmission sputters when I hit gas lightly.
Which model do you have?
Could you explain a lit more? Have you addressed this issue to toyota?
That shutter that feels like you are running over a rough road is the torque convertor and Toyota had an extended warranty issued but it ran out for most so now we are stuck with broken cars. Cheapest way out is to find a real trusted mechanic and have them replace the Torque convertor and put in the magnets in the transmission pan and then bring it to Toyota for only the software update. Look up ZH1 or U760e Torque Converter Shutter and you will find the bulletin from Toyota. Also unfortunately if it is a bad shutter it could ruin the transmission because the front shaft coming out of the front of the transmission goes through a hole in the middle of the Torque Converter.
How to convince the dealer about torque converter issue? The technician did test drive and said no issue found. Also the extended warranty says not all cars have this issue
Thank you for this info!!! My 2013 has the Bluetooth connection issues & the shaking/vibrating when driving.... I have already hit more than 100K miles . Other than that, I love my Rav4
2016 owner and power steering is my culprit. Thank you for the video.
Main culprit is fuel.effiiciency not as good as i expected. Getting around 10-11litres/100kms around city driving. I was expecting around litres/100kms
Im considering a 4th gen Rav4. As a female I feel empowered to purchase myself. Thanks
Good luck with the Torque Converter Shutter as the extended warranty ran out. Look up Rav 4 Torque Converter Shutter ZH1 or U760e Toyota bulletin and it tells you all about it.
I dont understand
Paid off, 2016 se sport 146000 miles had 10miles when we got it, no mechanical issues since we bought it. Just regular maintenance, it has been very reliable. But i did just notice the paint pealing on the roof right by the windshield, I thought it might have been a rock chip that started it. But after this video it means it is a paint issue. Time to get some touch up paint from Toyota. SMH
So stick with diesel and manuell gear
Thank you
Mines burning a lot of oil, any recommendations why! It's a 2013
2013 rav4 owner here, check your spark plugs and spark plug tubes to see if any oil is leaking inside from a defective vlave cover gasket. Also, run a oil consumption test to see how much oil you are burning/consuming. Also try to run a seafoam HIGH MILEAGE treatment in your oil to see if that helps reduce oil burn/consumption. - Toyota Tech
I had the same oil consumption problem. My mechanic said these cars all do this as they get higher mileage. He recommended I use 5W 30 synthetic motor oil high mileage. So I did that ran it for about 1000 miles it has helped tremendously. This RAV4 is a 2013. It has well over 200,000 miles on it. I would drive it anywhere.
You forgot to mention the throttle body assembly failure at 58,000 miles
Because it isn't common
I have a 2013 Rav and it shutters as well as using lots of oil. Probably a quart and a 1/2 at 5k miles
The rav4 will drink lots of oil if it hasnt been serviced often enough. These Ar series engine cant go any longer than 8000kms or 5000 miles between oil changes contrary to what the manual says. Great engine otherwise.
Which year RAV 4 has the least problems? You really seem to know what you're talking about I'm looking for a reliable SUV for my daughter who has disabilities that I can pick up between 12 to $20,000. I wanted the Honda CRV but that isn't an option with her because of the large dash there's no room for pedal extensions
2017 + 2018 but ALWAYS have a mechanic perform a thorough inspection b4 you purchase even if they "give" you a warranty
I've had the 2015 for the past 80k miles regular oil change/inspection etc. & no issues except battery change.
@@sdgna do you know the mpg are you getting on average and what’s the rpm at idle?
2017 Rav4 here: Driver's side door actuator and blower motor have already failed
I am having issues I believe with the transmission just at 100K :(
Which year rav4 do you have?
my 2016 is vibrating In park and at stop lights sometimes. shifting gears sometimes helps and sometimes stops it immediately. there's only 110k miles on it. I guess it's time to research torque converters... thanks guys
@@imhockeygirlhi have you changed the spark plugs and cleans throttle body. U might need to get obd2 scanned and diagnose
What's the solution for the water pump issue
A new water pump. Not that expensive.
I bought my 2015 rav4 LE brand new and it’s averaging 22.8 to 23 mpg highway mileage. I’m getting a readingBetween 860- 875 rpm at normal temperature according to obd2 scanner , no engine light. Manual said I should getting 25 mpg on highway. I maintained oil change every 5000k mile synthetic ow-20 oil. Is there any idle adjustment to bring it down to 750 rpm at normal temperature. Thanks
No body gets the fuel mileage the manual suugests for any vehicle. If it states 25 and you get 23 it is normal & good.
Have you some Mass Airflow Sensor spray cleaner to clean the Mass Airflow sensor located in the air intake? There are many TH-cam videos about what to use & how to do it. This can affect the idle speed,....
It is very easy to do.
Also check that the air filter is clean.
The idle is high make sure clean the throttle body , maf sensor and put the smoke machine, but you need reset the idle with a scanner
I need to replace my 2013 Toyota RAV4 le fuel door spring and I don't know what it looks like and they are showing different ones for it online. I'm in need of a picture of the inside of the fuel door where the spring is located please.
Look up on Toyota oem site after entering VIN number so you know you have the right part.
That torque converter is dead on
mine starts to shake now to
Ever fix it?
Je vous confirme que les problèmes sont véridiques je suis propriétaire d’un foutu rav 4 jamais je rachète.jamais un toyota
En español, gracias 😂
