In my Rav4, I had a message pop up that said "Engine Maintenance Required" and it wouldn't go away. I couldn't get rid of it. So I took it to the dealership and they immediately said that I needed my engine coolant bypass valve replaced. They also said it has been a constant issue with other Rav4 vehicles, but there has not been a recall yet. So I paid $650 to get the valve replaced and the continuous message taken off.

Engine maintenance repair light came on and it ended up needing the coolant valve replaced. Cost over $700 out of pocket when part alone is less than $100. After research, this seems to be happening to many newer models of RAV4 when warranty is expired.
