2019 Toyota RAV4

About a year ago, I was unable to make or receive calls through my vehicle. I could hear the other side talking, but they could not hear me. Additionally, I could not make voice commands through my vehicle. The microphone was not working at all. I advised my dealer and they indicated they did have a service bulletin regarding this issue, but everything they tried did not fix it. the dealer indicated to me that it was going to cost me almost $2,000 to have it fixed. I don't have an extra $2,000 laying around to fix this problem, so I've just been using my phone to my ear normally. It's much safer to have handsfree talking and commands, don't you think? I have 64,000 miles on my vehicle, so its out of manufacturer warranty. Shouldn't this be some type of recall? Thank you.

My vehicle 2019 Toyota Rav 4 Limited has transmission and engine issues as well as a roof rack leak. I have reported this to Toyota via 1-800-331-4331, which was not helpful. Israel stated that there is nothing that Toyota Cooperate can do about this issue. Both the transmission and engine had been previously repaired at Toyota of Laredo to no avail. Currently my vehicle is awaiting repair at Cavander Toyota in San Antonio. No loaner was provided despite me being a home health therapist who needs her vehicle to work.

When you are yielding and not having to make a complete stop by pressing the brake and then return to the gas the vehicle makes a loud bang noise like the engine is going to stall and then the car lunges forward with a big jerk. This is very scary when you have a lot of vehicles coming toward you. We are also having a problem with the roof rack leaking and could be hazardous if the air bag is getting wet if you look on line many people are complaining of these problems with the Rav4 2019 XLE. I purchased this car for my daughter when she graduated high school for safety and now it scares me for her to drive it. We did have a mechanic inspect it and informed us it did happen to him but could not find where it was coming from. He did inform us others with this model were having the same issues. No warning lamp or messages came on.

Roof rail leak known to Toyota leading to potential compromise of SRS airbags and any other electrical wiring within anterior pillars. Long term water damage can lead to corrosion of components within that area. Toyota assessed and confirmed water intrusion due to roof rail leak. Leak became visible to owner due to water marks on headliner. Of note, Toyota refuses to accept blame for water intrusion and provide remedy.

The 2019 Toyota RAV4 Alternator failed at 43,000 miles. The vehicle has been repaired by Toyota Authorized Dealer and is unavailable to be inspected for the same issue. This issue occurred suddenly. My car flashed a charging alert, which I couldn't read because I was driving. Shortly afterward, my power steering on my vehicle went out, making it hard to steer and the car stalled in the middle of the road. When I placed my blinkers on, I was informed by another driver that they couldn't see my blinkers. If this had occurred on the highway, this could have been a more significant safety concern. The authorized dealer confirmed that the alternator failed—no other explanation of why it failed. The authorized dealer only inspected it. The issue appeared on May 10. The only warning provided was a charging alert. This appeared minutes before I lost power steering and the car stalled.

2019 rav 4 and newer leaking water into the headliner near air bags. Obviously we cannot test our vehicles to see whether the airbag is damaged from such thing but I’m concerned! I’m in a “toyota rav 4 club” on Facebook and you can search roof leak and scroll for days with the same issue I’m having. I was dismissed at the dealer when I questioned my concern on the airbag functioning properly after the water possibly corroded it. There is also people having electrical issues from this problem with the water leaking to the electrical devices. Complaints have been made to the main office of Toyota and they state they have no knowledge of this issue. I see this being posted everyday that people have leaks right at their airbags. Please review this before someone gets hurt from this flaw on the 2019+ Toyota rav 4.

As noted by many other 2019 thru 2021 Toyota Rav4 owners, there is significant water leakage intruding into the vehicle passenger compartment. I can confirm that the water intrusion that my vehicle has sustained is leaking through inadequately sealed holes for clips that are part of the Roof-rack side rails. And that this severe water intrusion is likely damaging the electrical system connectors associated with the vehicles Side Impact Air Bags and possibly the tire-pressure monitoring system (TPMS) connectors in the side body pillar areas. Our local Toyota Dealership Service Center is aware of this problem. They tell me that our standard and extended warranty will not cover the repairs, and that we should contact our auto insurance provider. I feel that should not be the case, and that this leak issue is going to cause severe injury or death due to the water leaks incapacitating the Side Impact Air Bag System and possibly other safety systems with electrical connection affected by the water intrusion.
