2024 Toyota RAV4

Car Play, GPS, Voice Control system. Car Play and GPS is always off, sending wrong directions to get to a place. Voice control system interacts without being started by driver. I have been to the dealership where I bought the car; they know and acknowledge there is something wrong but they said there is no resolution at the moment.

At the beginning of April, 2025, Toyota began sending unrequested solicitations to subscribe to its “connected services” to the multimedia display in the center of the dashboard of the RAV4. Those solicitations take over the entire screen and prevent any other use of the display until the driver takes affirmative steps to dismiss the solicitation. They also interrupt the connection between an iPhone and the display, which requires the driver to completely reset the connection between the iPhone and the display. It can take up to five or six separate steps to click through additional screens, in different locations on each screen, before the display returns to its original state. This is particularly dangerous when the prior use of the display was for navigation, as the map cannot be returned to without going through those screens and presses. The steps required to remove these unwanted solicitations create a materially dangerous likelihood of distracted driving. I have never at any time given Toyota permission to send me these unwanted and intrusive electronic message solicitations, and I have explicitly revoked any and all such permissions which Toyota might claim were created by my purchase and.or operation of the vehicle. I request that an inquiry be opened and that the inquiry determine that Toyota's forced interruption of the operation of a vehicle such as my RAV4 is a safety defect and that Toyota be ordered to discontinue its dangerous practice.

Bought a 2024 Rav 4 on Oct 4 ,2024. Has a little over two thousand miles in it now. On two different occasions the vehicle has lurched pulled forward while I was sitting stopped foot on the brake. The first incident I was stopped at a stop sign waiting to enter a highway. All of a sudden the motor revved up and vehicle began lurching forward the brake I was pushing on would not stop the vehicle. I was dragged from the stop sign to the highway. I had to turn the key off to stop the Vehicle. The second incident was about a week later. I was stopped at a red light. Foot again on the brake. Suddenly the engine began to rev up and lurching against the brake. I immediately turned the engine off this time. Finally got the vehicle towed to Postoak Toyota in Midwest City where I purchased it. Postoak had told me three different times that I would have to to pay the tow fee or drive the unsafe vehicle to them. About an hour and a half drive. Finally Triple AAA said I was covered through Postoak. Had vehicle towed on May 31 2025. On June 3,2025 I was informed by a Postoak mechanic there was nothing found wrong with my vehicle. I was informed the vehicle has a start stop feature and letting my foot off brake when stopped would cause a small lurch. What happened to me twice in the Rav 4 was no small lurch. Literally dragging me with my foot squarely on the brake. I drove an Escape for six years which had the same start stop feature. Never did the Escape lurch forward.

I bought my car in the end of November 2024, and in April 2025 which is less than 5 months and the car's been driven less than 2,000 miles, I noticed the black plastic parts of my car in the front have been melting. This is a defect in the material composition. I see a good amount of other people sharing their similar melting experience on online platforms. When I brought the car and shown pictures to a local Toyota service center, Toyota says it's due to solar convergence. I also called Toyota corporate, and they told me it's not my fault. But they're not helping me fix the issue and repair my car. This should be under warranty. I just bought my car. I do not live somewhere with hot weather. It doesn't make sense, and it isn't acceptable for the car's plastic material on the outside to be melting like this. It's a safety concern that my car parts are melting.

Driving on the interstate highway when the sunroof glass just shattered. Luckily the cover was closed so no one was hit by the glass. Cars behind me could have been hit by flying glass. I have heard of this happening in the 2021 Rav 4's. The sunroof was looked by a Toyota dealership and they didn't say anything about it, only saying it was not covered under warranty. There not indications of cracking or any else prior to the shattering.

Today on 4/1/2025 while driving home, the roads were wet/slushy, it was actively rain/sleeting outside. During the drive, my lane assist and front impact assist was disabled due what the dash read of "sensor blocked" or somthing similar. I got home minutes later and pulled into my garage, put my car in park and sat with it idling in park for about 2-3 minutes, at that time, is when I felt it start to shake a little bit and then it shut off by itself. A warning popped up on my dash that read "engine stopped, steering power low".

Car was stationary in a fast food drive-thru. The car started shuddering/idling funny and rpm needle was jumping a bit. Turned the car off and tried to turn it back on and the car would not crank. (I then had to put the car in Neutral and have some workers at the restaurant push my car out of the drive-thru). After about 5 minutes of sitting in the parking lot, the car finally cranked and I was able to drive it home normally. This happened after a heavy rain. Message on the dash said something like "Engine off Power Steering Low."

The forward panel of the panoramic sunroof on my 2024 Toyota hybrid XSE spontaneously imploded. There was not impact from a rock or other object, no potholes or other defects in the road, and this did not occur under overpass. The car is less than 1 year old and it appears to be a common occurrence in similar models over the last few years. Toyota denies that this a defect in their materials or manufacturing and continues to insist that each instance of the panoramic sunroof must have been caused by outside factors.
