RAV4 starting problem

Asked by RickAAMI Mar 14, 2019 at 09:18 AM about the 2014 Toyota RAV4

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Our 2014 RAV4 would not start over last weekend. Jumped it on Monday,
would not even turn over. On Tuesday it would turn over just fine but not start;
jumped it at length to no effect. Had it towed to the shop, where they found it
started up just fine o n Wednesday morning! They checked battery and say it
is good. They theorize the battery drained because car had sat for three or
four days in moderately cold weather without being used last week. I am
skeptical but shop recommends not spending on more diagnostic work. This
is my daughter’s car at college and I do not want her to get stuck somewhere
if this happens again. Advice?

This is something my old car would do. I would buy a battery pack and leave it in the back of the car.
