My 2020 Rav4 transmission is lagging power during acceleration and will not get up to speed, and also is stumbling and making a pulse like motion during acceleration. My safety and my family safety and others safety are put at risk when entering a highway, feeder, any busy road. We have taken it to the dealer for them to inspect it and the mechanic told us that his personal Rav4 does the same thing but doesn't understand why. It has started a few months ago I don't remember the exact time but however it is becoming more common and there are no warning lights when this problem occurs.
I have had issues with my 2020 rav4. I have had kickbacks during acceleration, antifreeze/coolant loss, abnormal amount of blow-by, engine runs loud at times, car shakes when I start it, weird noise from under the hood, the dash lights and screen lights went dark once. I have been to multiple dealerships not long after I bought it and they said they -€œcould not duplicate the issue-€.. when I went to them regarding the antifreeze leak they said it is normal in new cars which I know is absolute lies. I need help as they are not willing to find the issues. I have pictures and videos to back this up.
New 2020 Rav4 hybrid makes loud grinding noise sometimes when placed in reverse and ev mode is engaged. Appears to be failure of sprag-type device to disengage engine or transmission from electric drive system. Multiple members of frank Toyota service declared it to be normal and refused to make any written entries evidencing the complaint. They claimed I was mistaken when I pointed out that it did not begin until the vehicle had approximately 600 miles on it.

The vehicle is hesitating, jerking when coming to a slow stop and when giving it gas. When putting gas in the car the pump automatically shut off. When I turned the car back on it showed that the tank was only 3/4 full. I put more gas again and the gas tank overflowed.
I have the Rav4 le base model. In the first 3 gears, transmission jerks a lot during acceleration, always feeling it is having a hard shift. When I pressed the brake padel partially or rolling stop, the car lurches, this is particularly dangerous when I make turns, I feel the car is not stable. Very disappointed at Toyota.
