Model years to avoid

Toyota RAV4 Hybrid

What it says about you

Opinion

The best-selling sensible thing in the country, in its most sensible form. Resistance was never really on the table.

Not measured, not from the data, and offered in fun. Everything below this is not.

11 model years on record, 410 complaints filed. That is too few to measure against. Every finding on this site compares a year with the same model's other years, and that needs about 40 complaints in a year and 4 years to compare it with. This nameplate has 1. So nothing is claimed either way — the recalls and ratings below are the record, and they are the whole record.

The years to look at closely: 2017 (car). Everything else drew a normal number of complaints for this model.

Every year

  1. 2026 0 recalls 18 complaints
  2. 2025 2 recalls 5 complaints
  3. 2024 2 recalls 1 complaints
  4. 2023 1 recall 7 complaints
  5. 2022 2 recalls 5 complaints
  6. 2021 1 recall 22 complaints
  7. 2020 5 recalls 13 complaints
  8. 2019 3 recalls 22 complaints
  9. 2018 0 recalls 15 complaints
  10. 2017 car 302 complaints
  11. 2016 nothing on record 0 complaints
