NHTSA Complaint #11603936 — 2019 TOYOTA RAV4

Hi there. As of June 17, 2024, there is a class action lawsuit against Toyota regarding issues with the coolant bypass valves in the 2019–2023 RAV4 and Corolla models. Some owners have reported that this defect could affect the vehicle's performance and longevity, potentially leading to expensive repairs. The plaintiffs allege that Toyota has violated the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, the Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act, and California's Unfair Competition Law, Consumers Legal Remedies Act, and Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act. They are seeking a jury trial, declaratory and injunctive relief, and punitive damages. I encountered the same issue on July 3, 2024, and visited Toyota Scott Clark (Charlotte), where I was charged $129 for diagnostics and $835.60 for further service to fix the problem. I am not willing to pay for this service, and Toyota has refused to cover the cost. I am joining the class action lawsuit against Toyota.
