| Description of the problem | I am having a sporadic, continuing starting problem with a 2009 toyota rav4. The problem seems to appear after the car has been driven, then parked. On attempting to restart the car, the accessories (radio, lights, etc.) come on but the engine does nothing. There is no sound from the starter. Repeating the starting sequence has no effect. Attempting to change the "start/stop" by using the method described in the user's manual also has no effect. It appears that something has to cool down before the car will restart. This has happened at least four times in the year i have had the car, and always at unexpected times. My dealer has had no luck recreating the problem, or finding a solution for it. |
