2019 Toyota RAV4

THE TIRES SLEEPS TO THE FRONT WHEN YOU TRY STEERING TO THE SIDES ETHER RIGHT OR LEFT AND THE TIRES MAKE HORRIBLE NOICE AND THE SLIP TO THE FRONT AND IF YOU DON'T BRAKE WHEN THE CAR SLIP TO THE FRONT YOU CAN HIT THE VEHICLE INFRONT OF YOU, LOOKS LIKE THEY MAKE THE STEERING ANGLE TO WIDE OR THE TIRES TURN TOO MUCH THAT INSTEAD OF MAKING A TURN THEY SLEEP TO THE FRONT AND THATS TOO DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT

MY BOUGHT MY VEHICLE BRAND NEW ON DECEMBER 10, 2019. ON OCTOBER 29, 2020 THE BATTERY STOPPED WORKING WITH ONLY 10K MILES. I CALLED TOYOTA AND TOLD THEM MY BATTERY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. TOYOTA TOLD ME TO JUMP START THE CAR AND DRIVE THERE TO REPLACE THE BATTERY. I ADVISED MY CAR WAS STUCK IN THE GARAGE AND WE WOULD NEED SOMEONE TO TOW THE CAR. WHEN THE 'TOW' ARRIVED IT WAS ONLY A MAINTENANCE WORKER THAT JUMP STARTED THE VEHICLE AND SAID I WOULD NEED TO DRIVE IT MYSELF THERE. THE WORKER ADVISED ME OF THE DEFECTIVE BATTERIES FOR RAV4 AND OTHER MODELS. ONCE MY CAR WAS TURNED ON AND OUT OF THE GARAGE, I WAS PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY WHEN MY POWER STEERING LOCK WARNING SIGNAL FLASHED. I CALLED AND EXPLAINED I WAS AN HOUR FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND NEEDED MY CAR TOWED TO THEM AND THE WARRANTY I PAID FOR SHOULD COVER IT. SUBSEQUENT TO GETTING MY VEHICLE BACK, I RECEIVED PAPERWORK IN THE MAIL WITH A RECALL NOTICE ON 12/9/2020 EXPLAINING THE POSSIBILITY OF MY VEHICLE STALLING WHILE DRIVING, WHICH COULD INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH. I PULLED OUT MY PAPERWORK FROM THE TECH AND ON THE BOTTOM NOTES I NOTICED THE TECH WROTE 'INTERIM STATUS' EXPLAINING THAT I WAS ADVISED THERE IS CURRENTLY AN INTERIM RECALL NOTICE FOR THE VEHICLE, BUT CURRENTLY NO REMEDY. THIS INFORMATION WAS NEVER EXPLAINED OR GIVEN TO ME UNTIL THE RECALL NOTICE VIA MAIL ON 12/9/2020 EVEN THOUGH THE RECALL WAS DEFECT INFO REPORT WAS ISSUED ON MAY 20TH.

WHEN BRAKING THE VEHICLE TAKES LONG TO STOP AND THIS IS A BRAND NEW 2019 RAV4 ? IT ONLY HAS 5K MILES ON IT. I NOTICED A CLINKING SOUND WHEN TURNING RIGHT AND LEFT OR GOING OVER BUMPS. I RESEARCHED THIS AND THERE ARE SEVERAL RECALLS AND COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME ISSUE REGARDING THE LOWER CONTROL ARM REPLACEMENT DUE TO IT DETACHING FROM THE WHEEL HUB AND IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE! THERE IS ALSO A RECALL FOR A SAFETY ISSUE ON THE MOTOR TO BE REPLACED DUE TO CRACKS ON THE ENGINE BLOCK DUE TO MANUFACTURE OVERSIGHT! MY CAR WAS MANUFACTURED IN THE TIME FRAME OF THE RECALL MONTH OF MANUFACTURE??? THERE IS ALSO AN ISSUE ON THE REVERSE CAMERA SYSTEM GOING BLANK WHEN REVERSING? I RESEARCHED THIS AND THERE IS ALSO A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE? *TR
