2022 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid XSE — physical buttons are disappearing again — good or bad?

TrackDaily71Community StarterJul 25, 20262022 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid XSENYC / Long Island
2022 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid XSE, about 22,000 miles. Automakers keep moving basic controls between touchscreens and physical buttons depending on the generation. What controls do you absolutely want to remain physical? If I fix it I'll come back and update the thread.

I parked the 2022 Toyota RAV4 and wrote down what I already tested so I'm not repeating myself. I'm in no rush to be a hero on it.

Not convinced that's the whole story. If this is a 2027 reveal, I wouldn't map it onto today's 2022 Toyota RAV4 ownership costs yet. I'd do that before spending real money. Post the numbers (or the code) and people can get more specific. If the story changes I'll post the new data.

Same neighborhood, different next step: If this is a 2027 reveal, I wouldn't map it onto today's 2022 Toyota RAV4 ownership costs yet. That's where I'd start. Was this after sitting overnight? If this is nothing, great. I want that in data.

Thanks — that narrowed it. I'm going to try the simpler check on the 2022 Toyota RAV4 first. This is me being the wet blanket on purpose.

Software recalls make me ask how much of 'driving' lives in a module now. On a 2022 Toyota RAV4, I'd care more about the remedy and downtime than the press wording. I'd do that before spending real money. This is from a 2022 Toyota RAV4 in NYC / Long Island with 22,000 miles. Stop there until you know. Not trying to scare you — just skip the expensive first guess. This is the version I'd tell a friend.

I parked the 2022 Toyota RAV4 and wrote down what I already tested so I'm not repeating myself. I'm keeping receipts and dates in one folder.

Software recalls make me ask how much of 'driving' lives in a module now. Check whether your 2022 Toyota RAV4 VIN is actually in the affected batch before you plan a dealer day. That's where I'd start. On “physical buttons are disappearing again — good,” that was the fork that mattered for me. If you share a photo of the worksheet, easier to sanity-check. Climate here is different, so treat that as a local data point. That's my plan before I call anyone.

New-model numbers always look better than curb weight and tire size. On a 2022 Toyota RAV4, I'd care more about the remedy and downtime than the press wording. Then you'll know the next fork. When does it actually happen? Not trying to scare you — just skip the expensive first guess. This is the version I'd tell a friend.

I'd rather look cautious in this thread than stuck later.

Following up on physical buttons are disappearing again — good: still happening, but I have better notes now. If the story changes I'll post the new data.
