2024 Toyota RAV4

The Apple CarPlay/navigation system in our 2024 Toyota RAV4 consistently drifts and displays incorrect vehicle location while driving. Navigation apps (Apple Maps, Google Maps, Waze) provide inaccurate positioning and incorrect directions. This creates a distraction and unsafe driving condition, particularly for a teenage driver. Additionally, when connected to the vehicle, the iPhone’s GPS location also drifts, preventing accurate real-time location tracking by a parent. Even once disconnected the drifting on the phone navigation continues. The vehicle has been taken to a Toyota dealership multiple times. All software updates have been completed, but the problem persists and appears to have worsened. Toyota has no solve and refuse to put in a new navigation/CarPlay system. This defect has existed since the vehicle was purchased new in 2024.

Novemver 18, 2025 "I was driving my 2024 RAV4 .. suddenly - I only heard the glass shatter, not an impact on my sunroof glass. After 10mins driving (7:10AM) Speed 65 mph in freeway It was not raining when I started driving but a little windy and splash of rain started No impact or debris and I am far away from cars in from of me The remaining glass edges (show outward shattered)

Impact is to software. Apple car play is malfunctioning. Will not allow bluetooth calls while apple car play is active. Phone will continue to ring on screen however, and will not be able to take call handsfree while driving. Call will not allow communication from driver to caller, only can hear caller. Concerns have been ongoing since May.

Driving on a city portion of Highway 69 between Prescott and Prescott Valley, traveling about 45mph, the panoramic moonroof suddenly exploded. There was no one near us and the road is newly paved so no obstacles. Glass shards rained down on us. This happened on a normal day about 75 degrees. Totally unexpected. I did sustain a cut on a finger. This could have harmed one of us with flying glass. We have contacted our insurance company and directed us to a collision compare place. In checking online, I see that others have experienced the same problem and there are lawsuits about this issue.

Recently, I have been noticing that my defroster has not been working properly. Only defrosting a portion of the windshield in the front. I have also noticed that my GPS screen will sometimes go completely black while driving. I am also having to reconnect my phone every time I am in the car after it has already been connected for some time throughout my drive. I am not sure completely what’s going on, but I have noticed that the recall that is currently out for Toyota. My car is having the same issues. There is no warning lights or anything that have come up. I did contact Toyota customer care about the issues.

Had to have my 2024 Toyota RAV 4 towed for a second time in 2 month after driving in heavy rain. During the first instance, I drove less than 10 miles on the highway in very heavy rain. Arrived at my destination, put the car in park and the engine and RPM meter started pulsating, revving feeling as if the car were going to stall. Turned the engine off, had the vehicle towed to the dealership who found "no issues" with the car. Again on September 23, 2025, I drove through a heavy rain storm, arrived a my destination and again the engine/RPM were pulsating/revving. An hour later when I went to leave (in no rain), started the vehicle and the engine began to sputter, all warning lights on the dash board went on including in part "Parking Support Brake Malfunction Visit Your Dealer", "Pre-Collision System Malfunction Visit Your Dealer" and "Engine Stopped Steering Power Low", and the engine sputtered and shut off. Had the vehicle towed to another dealership where it has been for 5 days with the technician telling me he cannot replicate the issue. This is a serious problem for a new vehicle with 17k miles. Not only is this is a safety risk due to vehicle failure/shut down, it is a serious defect in a product that I paid $40,000 for. Please do all that can be done to force Toyota to fix this issue, as it appears based on review of similar complaints on this website that this is happening quite a lot. Separately, it is more than concerning that total engine failure does not generate codes sufficient for Toyota technicians to diagnose such a fatal problem.

While driving, I heard a loud noise on roof of car. The sunroof/moonroof spontaneously shattered, pieces of glass around edge came loose and flew off and part of the frame dislodged. No cars around that could have thrown something up on top of car to cause this. I took to Toyota dealer and they said it was not under warranty and refused to cover. I filed a claim with AAA insurance and they don’t think they can cover because, according to their assessor, it appears to be a defect with no single point of contact to cause the shatter. As is, the car is not safe to drive for fear of glass completely breaking and flying off, as well as there being no protection from the roof, as the sunroof/moonroof critical to the integrity of the car.

AC drainage system easily clogs and creates undetectable leaks on the interior of the car that create flooding in the car and mold growth at least a month before visible water collection and smell. This is widespread across Toyota vehicles and my dealership reports at least 4 cars a month with this issue which is a high occurrence. This issue is undetectable and is a major health concern for passengers causing a major safety risk, especially since undetected. There is documentation of this issue across Toyota models and Lexus models
