My 2020 Toyota Rav4 wouldn't start. It was parked in my garage. A tow truck operator ran a test and found that I had a dead battery. This was surprising because I only had 1,800 miles on this vehicle. After the operator charged the battery, I drove it to the Toyota dealer's service dept. They ran some tests and replaced the dead battery under warranty. They were unable to find out what caused the battery to fail. The technician told me that they had 5 batteries fail this month. I did an internet search and found other people had the same problem with the 2020 Toyota Rav4. They thought that it either could be an internal short in the battery, or else the digital parking brake was draining the battery. This battery problem could be a serious safety problem that could leave people stranded in winter weather.

I have owned this rav 4 hybrid for 4 months. I have driven only 2500 miles so far. I live in new england area. Rav4 is made in Canada. Twice in the last 3 months I have had a dead battery after leaving parked for 2-4 days. Both times need assistance from a battery charger. Hybrid battery shows over half charged. The 12 volt battery seems to be the issue. There are no aftermarket accessories. Smartphone app notifies me if there is an issue when parked. This issue is not isolated. Many complaints on Rav4 forums.

I purchased a new 2020 Rav4 xle in December 2020, it is not even 3 months old. I parked my Rav4 in my driveway after getting home from work. The following morning my car had a dead battery. I had the battery jumped by Toyota roadside service. The car started up, and I was told to let the engine run for about 45 minutes so the battery could charge. There's nothing I could have left turned on the evening before that would have run the battery down. If you leave a light on, or a door ajar the lights go out after 20 minutes. This was not the case. I did an internet search on Toyota Rav4 battery problems and found that this is a common issue.
