2019 TOYOTA RAV4 — Complaint #1934424
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM filed October 10, 2023
NHTSA complaint #1934424 (ODI reference 11549113) concerns a 2019 TOYOTA RAV4 and was filed on October 10, 2023. The owner reports the failure occurred on October 10, 2023. The report was geocoded to Georgia based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as engine and engine cooling:cooling system, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same TOYOTA RAV4 cohort independently describe similar engine and engine cooling:cooling system failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2019 TOYOTA RAV4 shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
"Engine Maintaince Soon" light continues to go off while driving the car making the dashboard impossible to use. Took the Rav4 to the dealership and said it would be $536 to replace the coolant bypass valve. It is a know issue on 2019 and newer Rav4 Toyota vehicles and needs to be recalled.
