Most common 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.
