Mine only sat two days and went completely dead. Just purchased 2 months ago. Dealer and Toyota headquarters say I need to let it run in my driveway for 20 min every day if I'm not planning on going anywhere. What?? My case is open. I'll be using Lemon Law if this isn't fixed. Please call Toyota headquarters 800-331-4331 and Nat'l Highway Traffic Safety Admin 888-327-4236 and file complaints. Toyota needs to FIX this! I love my 40,000 new car- but it doesn't run faithfully. Sad! Now I keep jumper cables in back seat. But I will have it towed to dealership an hour away every time I can so that they are feeling my pain. Battery completely drained.

I have a 2019 RAV4 XLE hybrid. The first time the battery died was May 2020. The second was December 2021. Toyota service said there was a tracking device factory installed that was drawing power (even though we don't subscribe to the tracking service). They removed it and I hope that fixes the problem. I asked them about the TSB 0095-20 and they said my VIN wasn't in the TSB list.
