The contact owns a 2022 Toyota Rav4. The contact stated that the economy feature disengaged while driving. While the lane assist was activated, the vehicle drifted over into another lane. The engine was revving and backfired. The vehicle lost motive power while driving at undisclosed speeds. The driver's side windshield had a glaze or wax on the outside. While idling, the vehicle surged forward. The driver hovered a foot over the brake pedal. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer but was not diagnosed or repaired. The vehicle was taken to several dealers, AutoNation Toyota Winter Park Service Center (225 N Semoran Blvd, Winter Park, FL 32792); Claremont Toyota (601 Auto Center Dr, Claremont, CA 91711); and Miracle Toyota (37048 US-27, Haines City, FL 33844); but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 52,000.
Our 3 yrs old + Toyota RAV4 Hybrid SUV with barely over 30,000 miles on it had 2 safety issues within 2 months of each other! First was the driver's side mirror- it was rattling, feeling like it might fall off! Seems common issue, perhaps due to cheap plastic parts inside. We had it fixed- Toyota Brand Engagement Center gave a '…

Our 3 yrs old + Toyota RAV4 Hybrid SUV with barely over 30,000 miles on it had 2 safety issues within 2 months of each other! First was the driver's side mirror- it was rattling, feeling like it might fall off! Seems common issue, perhaps due to cheap plastic parts inside. We had it fixed- Toyota Brand Engagement Center gave a 'Goodwill' gesture to cover us replacing it at Dealership, though it should never have happened on such a newer vehicle in the first place! Then not even 2 months later, a Warning flashed- "Pre Collision System Malfunction!" Also "Headlights" with same warning- "SEE DEALER NOW!" Toyota Dealer. They said Forward Recognition Camera had 'INTERNAL MALFUNCTION' and needed to be replaced. It was going to be quite expensive, but the camera part is not even available in foreseeable future as there's back order for hundreds and they're still in production! It seems this too is a common safety problem~ We can't understand why there's not a RECALL on this. Toyota took no responsibility for this issue, which is APPALLING as, like the first 'side driver's side mirror failure' was also a safety issue! The whole reason we bought this vehicle was for its safety features! Without the front facing camera that comes with the car in same compartment as rear view mirror resides, we now have NO Pre-Collision Warnings, NO Headlight safety feature, NO RSA (Road Sign Assist System). It's infuriating that Toyota, who obviously is making inferior safety products, does not offer to help out in any way. We're both [XXX] and entitled to these safety features as we bought the car both new and paid top dollar! Our service advisor at the Toyota Dealership agrees this is 'not normal', the car is too young to have this happen! He will attest to this & we have paperwork. It stated 'No immediate remedy'. (replacement camera not available) I believe this is happening to hundreds of other RAV4 owners. It's outrageous! Please help! These electronics for safety should not fail!

The Blind Spot Warning system fails to alert the driver when a vehicle in the adjacent lane is partially behind the current vehicle. It only activates when the nearby vehicle is completely behind the current vehicle. Due to this limitation, the system does not provide adequate warnings for nearby vehicles, which has nearly caused several accidents when the driver attempted to change lanes.

Above checked ADAS items don't work appropriately, and can't relay on them all the time. Apart from that My Toyota RAV4 Moon Roof shield couldn't be able to withstand for the wind during raining when the vehicle speed was at 75mph on Highway i-35 in Oklahoma. The glass busted completely, and those glass particles causes inconvenience to the other vehicle on the high way. I reported this incident to the car dealer but they were so rude to me, and said that car is not designed for the 75mph speed. Ended up convincing myself that RAV4 is not safe to drive anymore.
