I picked the RAV4 up at the dealership on April 26th and have only driven it about 200 miles thus far. While the car is noisy, that's not a major concern for me. The 2019 version of the RAV4 has demonstrated some unusual performance issues. I can honestly say I have never had any outstanding mechanical issues with any of these vehicles-until now. I have owned or leased a total of 6 Toyota vehicles since 1992. Until Toyota acknowledges the problem and repairs the car, I wouldn't DARE take this GRINDING, JERKY car on an ADVENTURE. All of these "features" (8 speed, early shifting trans, complicated driveline disconnect) are sacrificing reliability and ensuring headaches in the name of squeezing a couple more MPG out of a car. Jolts if you come to a near-stop then accelerate again (READ ABOUT THE 2018 CAMRY!!! SAME MOTOR+TRANSMISSION!!! SAME PROBLEMS REPORTED!!!). Dealerships basically tell me "if it doesn't have a warning light and doesn't have a TSB or Recall, the car must be functioning normally" On top of that the Automatic transmission is a joke. WHY WOULD TOYOTA RELEASE A CAR THAT GRINDS AND CALL THAT "NORMAL"?!?!?! Especially their best selling car? Extremely frustrated that I traded in a fun, perfectly functioning Focus ST for a brand new car that grinds all the time. 2 Dealers that know NOTHING about the technical workings of the driveline disconnect system have told me that "It sounds normal". This popped up after driving the car for about 1,000 miles. My Adventure model has been GRINDING when the AWD Driveline Disconnect engages/disengages after driving the car for about 20-30 min (When gear oil has heated up).
