Main infotainment display doesn't switch to night/dark screen even though the settings is set to automatic mode. As a result the display is extremely bright especially in dark and rural areas blinding the driver. It caused me to hit a curb and blow a tire. I went to a Toyota dealer 3 times but they didn't not fix it. This occured on August 13 2024 at around 9:30 PM. I filled a complaint with TOYOTA but every time I called they promise they will address the issue but it's now 2 months and they have not done anything. I am not sure what to do next but the display remains an issue .
Panoramic moon roof exploded while driving with no impact to the glass. The explosion sounded like a gun shot inside the car.

Panoramic moon roof exploded while driving with no impact to the glass. The explosion sounded like a gun shot inside the car. This sudden explosive noise put the driver, and all other vehicles on the road, in danger due to the panicked reflex of the driver. Upon inspection, it's evident that the glass shattered along all 4 edges rather than from a single point of impact. This would indicate an issue with the glass, the installation, or both. Vehicle was taken to dealer and customer was told it would not be covered under warranty.
I have owned vehicle for 3 months. Noticed loud banging sound whenever brakes are applied at low speeds, on rough bumps/rough road. At times banging is loud enough to sound like vehicle hit something. No issues with braking currently. Not sure if noise is from ABS but sound is coming from front and back. Toyota inspected vehicle…

I have owned vehicle for 3 months. Noticed loud banging sound whenever brakes are applied at low speeds, on rough bumps/rough road. At times banging is loud enough to sound like vehicle hit something. No issues with braking currently. Not sure if noise is from ABS but sound is coming from front and back. Toyota inspected vehicle and said sound is the ABS activating..."totally normal for newer hybrids and no fix at this time...test drove other 2024 Rav4 Primes and all had same noise". TAS#242180433. No accident/incident to report at this time, however noise is loud enough to cause uneasiness while driving.

I have oiwned the car for 3 months and there has not been a problem previously. As I was pulling into a parking space at work, going less than 5 mph, i took my foot off the accelerator and coasting in while intending to brake, stop, and turn the car off. Suddenly, the car accelerated forward quickly, propelling the car over a tall curb, over a small grassy area, and onto the open parking lot. I subsequently applied the break, the car stopped, I drove back to the same spot. and was able to park and turn the car off. A report was filed with Toyota, completing an unintended acceleration form (UA), and Toyota filed TAS case number 24212013.
