Reported issues for this Toyota Rav4
These are the most commonly reported problems on Toyota Rav4 models (2013–2018), based on owner reports and workshop data across the UK.
1. CVT Transmission Wear & Judder (2.0 Petrol Models)
The CVT develops internal wear, particularly in bearings and the sun gear. Under sustained higher speeds or aggressive driving, premature bearing wear triggers transmission noise and eventual judder/shuddering during acceleration.[1][5] · Typical repair: £3,000–£6,000 for repair or rebuild.[1]
2. Steering Rack Knock & Play
Rubber bushes deteriorate and rack mounts loosen, causing lateral play in the steering box. Metal-to-metal contact produces a clunking noise over bumps or when steering lock-to-lock.[1] · Typical repair: OEM replacement rack £1,200+; remanufactured or used units with labour £600–£1,000.[1]
3. Water Pump Leaks & Failures
Water pump bearing seals fail, allowing coolant to leak. Continued operation causes impeller wear and complete loss of cooling function, risking engine overheating and head gasket failure.[1][4][6] · Typical repair: £400–£700 with labour (OEM replacement).[1]
4. Infotainment System Glitches (2013–2018)
Firmware glitches cause the touchscreen to become unresponsive, the system to reboot unexpectedly, and Bluetooth pairing to drop intermittently. Screen also suffers from poor visibility in daylight due to glare.[3][6] · Typical repair: Software update (free if under warranty); screen replacement £400–£800; aftermarket anti-glare shades £20–£50 (mixed reviews).[3][6]
