Problems:

Dynamic brake support (dbs) issues
Dynamic Brake Support (DBS) may sometimes fail to engage correctly, leading to insufficient braking force during emergency stops. This could be due to sensor malfunction or software glitches.
Engine power loss
The engine producing 203 hp might experience power loss due to issues like fuel injection problems, ignition system failures, or clogged air filters.
Engine configuration problems
In-line engines can sometimes suffer from balance issues, leading to vibrations and potentially causing wear on engine mounts and other components.
Manufacturer-specific issues
Toyota engines, while reliable, can have specific issues such as oil consumption problems or timing chain wear, especially if not maintained properly.
Engine model specific issues
The A25A-FKS engine might have specific quirks, such as problems with the fuel system (PORT+DIRECT injection) leading to carbon build-up on intake valves.
Cylinder issues
With a 4-cylinder configuration, there might be issues related to cylinder misfires, which could be caused by faulty spark plugs, ignition coils, or fuel injectors.
Engine stroke cycles
Being a 4-stroke engine, maintenance issues such as valve timing, camshaft wear, or crankshaft bearing wear could arise, impacting engine performance.
General rav4 issues
As a 2023 model, newer software updates or recalls may affect the RAV4, and staying up-to-date with these can prevent many common issues.
Fuel system issues
The PORT+DIRECT injection system can sometimes create uneven fuel distribution, leading to performance inconsistencies or even engine knocking.

Problems:

Brake calipers sticking
Brake calipers can sometimes stick, leading to uneven braking, increased wear, and potential safety hazards.
Brake disc wear
Both front vented and rear solid discs can wear over time, causing reduced braking efficiency and the need for replacement.
Brake noise
Various components within the brake system can cause noise, including worn pads, discs, or issues with the calipers.
Dynamic brake support (dbs) malfunction
Although standard, the DBS system can sometimes fail, leading to reduced braking assistance during emergency stops.
Engine oil consumption
The 2AR-FE engine is known to occasionally consume more oil than expected, leading to the need for more frequent oil top-ups.
Fuel injector issues
With a port injection system, injectors can become clogged or fail, leading to reduced engine performance and efficiency.
Engine misfires
Misfires can occur due to issues with the spark plugs, ignition coils, or fuel system, affecting performance and fuel economy.
Cooling system problems
The inline configuration of the engine can sometimes lead to cooling issues, such as leaks or faulty components, resulting in overheating.
Timing chain noise
Over time, the timing chain can become noisy, indicating wear or the need for adjustment or replacement.
Throttle body issues
Problems with the throttle body can lead to poor engine performance, including stalling, rough idling, or reduced acceleration.
Exhaust manifold cracks
The exhaust manifold can develop cracks, leading to exhaust leaks and reduced engine performance.
