2020 rav xle battery issues?

Asked by Guru9WJYTK Mar 11, 2021 at 05:57 PM about the 2020 Toyota RAV4 XLE FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

one month after buying a new 2020 rav 4 xle i had
to have it towed to the dealer. they told me it was a
bad battery. so it was replaced. then four months
later it died again. i called for a jump start. then two
weeks later yet again the car died. i called roadside
assistance and they jumped it again. i drove to the
dealer and they said this time it was a bad software
problem and they were going to use firmware to
correct that. anyone else have this issue?

Lots of people have problems with newer cars and parasitic battery drains compounded by cheap OEM batteries. The problem may be partially or completely alleviated by a new, high capacity battery.
