I WAS DRIVING HOME AND AT A RED LIGHT WHEN MY RAV4 STARTED TO SHAKE AND FEEL AS THOUGH IT WAS GOING TO STALL OUT. EVERYTHING SHUT DOWN AND I WAS UNABLE TO MOVE. I RECEIVED THE FOLLOWING ERROR ON OUR DISPLAY, "CHARGING SYSTEM MALFUNCTION". AFTER A FEW SECONDS I WAS ABLE TO TURN MY VEHICLE ON AND PROCEED THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. APPROXIMATELY ONE MINUTE LATER IT STARTED TO STUTTER AGAIN. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO MY DRIVEWAY BEFORE IT TURNED OFF AND LOST POWER. I INFORMED MY HUSBAND WHAT HAD HAPPENED AND HE TOOK THE VEHICLE OUT TO SEE IF THE SAME ERROR WOULD OCCUR. WITHIN FIVE MINUTES INTO HIS DRIVE THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF. WE HAD IT TOWED TO OUR TOYOTA DEALERSHIP, AS WE JUST PURCHASED THIS RAV4 BRAND NEW NINE MONTHS AGO. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT CONDUCTED MULTIPLE TESTS AND INFORMED US THAT EVERYTHING WAS FINE. IT IS A LITTLE UNNERVING TO KNOW THAT THE VEHICLE I DRIVE COULD COMPLETELY TURN OFF, POTENTIALLY ON A BUSY HIGHWAY. THE RISK FOR SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH, TO ME OR MY FAMILY, IS HIGH IF THIS OCCURS. AGAIN, TO RECAP, THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN WHILE STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND ALSO WHEN IT WAS IN MOTION.

I HEARD SQUEAKING IN MY BRAKES AT 10,000 MILES MY BRAKES WERE GOOD AT 12,000 THEY SAID A HAD 1% LEFT ON FRONT BRAKES. I REPLACED FRONT PADS. I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALER IN NORTHRIDGE TO COMPLAIN. THEY KEPT ON EYE ON BRAKES I WAS FINE AT 15,000 AND AT 20,000 MILES I HAD 60% ON MY FRONT PADS. I TOOK IN THIS WEEKEND FOR 25,000 SERVICE I WAS THROUGH TO THE ROOTERS ON THE FRONT. TOYOTA CLAIMS IT IS MY DRIVING. THOUGH THEY TESTED IT THEY FAIL TO EXPLAIN HOW I WENT CRITICAL IN $5,000 MILES. I HAVE NEVER OWNED A VEHICLE WITH SUCH PROBLEMS. BRAKES ARE A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS NOT ISOLATED INCIDENT.

TOYOTA'S HEADLIGHTS ARE TERRIBLE AND MAKE IT HARD TO SEE AT NIGHT. THEY ARE USING THE SAME 9012 BULBS USED ON THE GMC SIERRA BEFORE YOU GUYS ISSUED A SAFETY RECALL FOR THE SIERRA'S HEADLIGHTS. SEE THIS FOR REFERENCE: HTTP://WWW.GMCPROBLEMS.COM/TRENDS/TERRIBLE-HEADLIGHTS/ I REALLY THINK TOYOTA SHOULD DO SOMETHING TO FIX THIS. ON RURAL ROADS WITH ANIMALS LIKE DEER I FEEL ITS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS.

INTERIOR TRIM PIECE UNDER THE DASHBOARD AND DIRECTLY OVER THE BRAKE PEDAL REPEATEDLY FALLS DOWN (JUST FRONT CLIPS RELEASE) ALLOWING THE TRIM TO HANG DOWN AND BLOCK ACCESS TO THE BRAKE PEDAL. THIS OCCURRED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. I MANAGED TO GET THE TRIM OUT OF THE WAY, BUT IT FELL SEVERAL MORE TIMES BEFORE I COULD GET IT TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR. REPAIRS ARE UNDERWAY. I DON'T KNOW IF TOYOTA CAN CORRECT THIS. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD.

BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS WORE OUT BEFORE 10K MILES ON A BRAND NEW CAR. REPLACED THE FRONT BRAKES BECAUSE THEY WERE SO WORN OUT.THAT IS UNHEARD OF. DEFINITELY A SAFETY HAZARD AND A DEFECT ON THE PART/VEHICLE.
Electrical system, Apr 15, 2018
INTERMITTENTLY THE DASH BOARD SCREEN GOES DARK WHILE DRIVING. PER TOYOTA TECH REP THE ENTIRE COMPONENT WAS REPLACED APRIL 13,2018. ONE DAY LATER THE SAME THING OCCURRED. THE REP STATED THERE WAS A DEFECTIVE PART . I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR,WONDERING IF ALL WILL STOP WHILE IN MOTION.

MY BRAKES WERE INSPECTED AFTER OWNING MY 2017 RAV4 FOR ALMOST 5 MONTHS IT NEEDED ITS SERVICE BECAUSE IT HAD18K MILES ON IT. THEY INSPECTED THE BRAKES AND FOUND EVERYTHING TO BE IN PERFECT CONDITION, EXCEPT THEY FOUND A NAIL IN THE SIDE WALL OF THE TIRE. FAST FORWARD ABOUT 2 MONTHS AND MY SUV IS BEING REPAIRED AFTER A WRECK AND IT WAS AT THE REPAIR PLACE A WEEK BEFORE THE WOMAN CALLS AND TELLS ME MY CAR IS READY BUT WHEN THEY WERE TAKING THE CAR APART TO FIX THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE THE BRAKE PAD AND ROTOR FELL OFF THE RIGHT AIDE AND I NOW NEED TO PURCHASE NEW BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS. MY RAV4 HAS 23K MILES AND IS 7 MONTHS OLD, NOT ONE NOISE WAS MADE BEFORE THE ACCIDENT ONLY AFTER. SHE ALSO TELLS ME IT'S NOT ACCIDENT RELATED. I'M NOW GETTING THE RUN AROUND FROM THEM ALL TRYING TO GET MY CAR FIXED. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT IT TODAY AND THE GUY OVER THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN SO HE WAS GOING TO HAVE TO CALL THE WOMAN AND SEE WHAT ALL IS GOING ON BECAUSE IT SHOULDN'T NEED NEW BRAKES AND ROTORS.

THE CAR IS EQUIPPED WITH AUTO HIGH BEAMS. WHICH DO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. ON MONDAY, MARCH 26,2017, MY WIFE WAS DRIVING TO WORK IN THE EARLY MORNING. SHE HAD THE AUTO HIGH BEAM SETTING ON AND THE HEADLIGHTS FLASHED FROM LOW TO HIGH AND BACK SEVERAL TIMES, WHILE SHE WAS FOLLOWING A CAR. THE SENSORS DID NOT RECOGNIZE THERE WAS A CAR IN FRONT OF HER. AT OTHER TIMES, WHILE DRIVING WITH THE AUTO SELECTION ON THE INDICATOR ON THE DASH JUST VANISHES AND WILL NOT RESET UNLESS YOU MANUALLY TURN ON THE HIGH BEAMS, THEN TURN THEM BACK TO AUTO. THIS WAS ONE OF THE SELLING POINTS OF THE CAR THAT TOYOTA ADVERTISES, BUT IT DOES NOT WORK AS IT SHOULD. UNFORTUNATELY IN THIS DAY AND AGE, THIS MAY CAUSE A ROAD RAGE INCIDENT, IF THE DRIVER IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE GETS AGITATED. I CONTACTED TOYOTA CORPORATE, BUT I FEEL AS IF THIS WAS A WASTE OF MY TIME. THE DEALERSHIP THINKS THE SETTING IS TOO SENSITIVE, BUT THERE IS NO WAY TO ADJUST THE SENSITIVITY. SO BASICALLY I WAS TOLD DON'T USE IT. IT WAS SET WHEN I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP YESTERDAY AND THE AUTO INDICATOR JUST VANISHED FROM THE DASH.

TAKATA RECALL. MY RAV4 ONLY HAS 9,000 MILES AND I AM GETTING REALLY IRRITATED WITH THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE SUSPENSION. IT'S GETTING LOUDER AND LOUDER EVERY TIME I GO OVER SMALL CRACKS ON EVERY STREET I GO ON. THIS INCLUDES HIGHWAYS AND STREETS. I CAN'T BELIEVE I AM PAYING FOR A NEW CAR WHICH FEELS LIKE I HAVE A 1980 SUSPENSION.

WHILE DRIVING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH. THE ENGINE SHUT OFF AND ALL SCREENS AND GAUGES SHUT OFF FOR ABOUT 3 TO 5 SECONDS THEN THE CAR RESTARTED ON ITS OWN AND BEGAN TO ACCELERATE QUICKLY SO I HAD TO USE THE BRAKES TO SLOW THE CAR DOWN. THIS EVENT HAPPENED THREE TIMES THAT DAY ALL ON THE HIGHWAY AND WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ON.I CALLED THE TOYOTA DEALER TO HAVE THE CAR CHECKED OUT THE CAR WAS CHECKED OUT NO ISSUES FOUND. A FEW WEEKS LATER I GOT THE OIL CHANGED AT THE DEALER AND AFTER I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP THE ROADS WERE ICY SO I WAS DRIVING AROUND 25 MPH WHEN THE ENGINE STOPPED RUNNING AND THE DASH WENT OUT FOR ABOUT 3 TO 5 SECONDS AND THEN THE CAR STARTED RUNNING AGAIN THIS HAPPENED AGAIN A FEW MINUTES LATER THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS NOT ON AT THIS TIME. I CALLED THE DEALER AND AN APPOINTMENT WAS MADE TO CHECK THE CAR AGAIN I ALSO OPENED A CLAIM WITH TOYOTA FOR THIS ISSUE. THE CAR WAS EVALUATED AGAIN STILL NO ISSUE COULD BE FOUND. THE RESPONSE FROM TOYOTA WAS NO ISSUE WAS FOUND WITH THE CAR AND NO FURTHER ACTION WOULD BE TAKEN BY TOYOTA BECAUSE NOTHING WAS FOUND ON THE DATA RECORDER. THIS CAR IS ON A TOYOTA LEASE AND I DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE DRIVING IT AND I WILL NOT LET MY WIFE DRIVE THIS CAR MY FEELING IS THAT SOMEONE COULD GET HURT OR WORSE AND I DO NOT WANT TO SEE THAT HAPPEN. I HAVE READ THAT OTHER RAVS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE.

REVERSE LIGHTS ARE 2'X2' TRIANGLE LIGHTS AT THE BOTTOM OF CAR. MOST REVERSE LIGHTS ARE TOWARDS MIDDLE OF PANEL WITH THE BRAKE LIGHTS. NOT VISIBLE TO SOMEONE ELSE POSSIBLE REVERSING AT SAME TIME AND CAN'T SEE BOTTOM OF MY CAR. 2014 MODEL HAD THEM IN MIDDLE. NOT SURE OF 2016 OR 2016 BUT MY 17 AND CURRENT 2018 HAS REVERSE LIGHTS AT BOTTOM. SAFETY ISSUE IF PEOPLE CAN'T NOTICE YOUR REVERSE LIGHTS.

I HAD THE DEALER CHECK ON A PROBLEM I WAS HAVING. THE STATED "IF CUSTOMER IS A TWO FOOTED RIVER OR THE BRAKE PEDAL IS TOUCHED ALONG WITH THE GAS PEDAL THE ACCELERATOR IS OVER RIDDEN IN THE COMPUTER CAUSING VEHICLE NOT TO ACCELERATE". THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIME WITH MY VEHICLE RESULTING IN COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER. . USUALLY WHEN FROM A STOP INTO TRAFFIC. POTENTIAL PROBLEM OF NO POWER WHEN CROSS TRAFFIC IS COMING OR WHEN ENTERING FREEWAY. WAS NEVER TOLD ABOUT THIS WHEN THE CAR WAS PURCHASED.

2017 RAV4 HYBRID XLE - 4300 MILES HELLO, EXPERIENCE A PROBLEM LAST WEEK DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. WHILE DRIVING 75 MPH, I TOOK MY FOOT OFF GAS PEDAL TO COAST, THE "EV" LIGHT CAME ON FOR ABOUT "1/2 - 1" SECOND AND THEN WENT OFF. IF I HAPPENED TO PRESS THE GAS PEDAL AT THE TIME THE LIGHT WAS ON AT ABOUT 65-70 MPH, I EXPERIENCED A SHAKING, VIBRATION, AND A FEELING THAT I RAN OVER SOMETHING FOR ABOUT A 1/2 SECOND TIMEFRAME. IT WAS VERY NOTICEABLE AND TROUBLING. IF I WAITED THE SECOND FOR THE LIGHT TO GO OFF WHILE COASTING, THEN NO PROBLEMS. I TOOK IT TO MY DEALER AND THEY COULD NOT RECREATE, NO COMPUTER CODES, AND INDICATED THAT THIS IS NORMAL SINCE THE ELECTRIC AND GAS IS "OUT OF SYNC" AT THE HIGH SPEED. THIS WAS CERTAINLY NOT NORMAL TO ME. MY THOUGHT IS THAT THE EV LIGHT SHOULD NEVER HAD COME ON (EVEN FOR A 1/2 SECOND) AT THE HIGH SPEEDS AND THERE IS A PROBLEM SOMEWHERE.

I STARTED IT AND NOTICED IMMEDIATELY SOMETHING WAS WRONG. VEHICLE STARTED MOVING AND I TRIED TO APPLY BRAKE. BRAKE WAS HARD INITIALLY AND VEHICLE CONTINUED MOVING. THEN I WAS ABLE TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL ALL THE WAY BUT IT KEPT MOVING. WITH MY DAUGHTER IN THE CAR I GOT PANIC. I SWITCHED TO P AND VEHICLE KEPT GOING, THOUGH SLOWLY ON THE STREET. THEN I TURNED POWER OFF AND REMOVED THE KEY. AT THIS POINT ALL DASH BOARDS LIGHTS WERE ON AND IT WAS MAKING A LOUD, WIRED NOISE. IT LASTED SEVERAL SECONDS AND VEHICLE KEPT MOVING DURING THIS TIME. FINALLY IT CAME TO A STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. THE VEHICLE HAS ONLY 4200 MILES. THE SCARY THING IS, BRAKE FAILED FOR NO REASON AND ALL DASH BOARD LIGHTS WERE ON EVEN AFTER THE KEY WAS REMOVED.

THIS IS A POTENTIAL ACCIDENT THE SEALS THAT ARE BUILT INTO THE DOOR WINDOW GUIDES ARE NOT EFFECTIVE. WHEN THE OUTSIDE WINDOWS ARE FOGGY OR WET, THE BUILT-IN SQUEEGEE DOES NOT WIPE OFF THE WINDOW AS THEY HAVE IN EVERY OTHER CAR. THIS CREATES A HAZARD AS YOU CANNOT SEE TO CHANGE LANES OR BACK OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY. I REPORTED THIS TO THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER AND THE REFUSED TO CORRECT THIS THANK YOU

HEADLIGHTS ON LOW BEAM, FORM A LINE ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD. UNABLE TO SEE THE ROAD AHEAD UNLESS HIGH BEAMS ARE ACTIVATED. YOU CANNOT SEE STOP OR STREET SIGNS. UNLESS YOU KNOW THERE IS A STOP SIGN OR ROAD ENTRANCE YOU CANNOT SEE THEM WHEN USING THE LOW BEAMS. 2 OTHER PEOPLE HAVE DRIVEN MY VEHICLE AND COMPLAINED ABOUT NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE THE ROAD AHEAD. VERY DANGEROUS. I AM NOW LEERY OF DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AT NIGHT.

2017 TOYOTA RAV 4 HAS LANE DEPARTURE WARNING, AUDIBLE SOUND. IT IS TO MUTED TO HEAR, EVEN IF THE RADIO IS OFF. SECOND RAV 4. MY 2015 RAV4 LANE DEPARTURE WAS LOUD. TOYOTA STATES THAT THEY CAN'T INCREASE THE VOLUME. THIS TO ME, IS A SAFETY DEFECT THAT NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED. NO RECOURSE WAS OFFERED BY TOYOTA ON MY LEASED VEHICLE. BOTTOM LINE, IF I ACCIDENTALLY CROSS OVER A WHITE LINE I GET A LOW ALMOST MUTED SOUND, WHICH IF I HAVE THE RADIO ON I CAN NOT HEAR. TOYOTA NEEDS TO GO BACK TO THE TECHNOLOGY THAT THEY USED FOR THIS ON THE 2015 MODEL, TO MAKE IT ACTUALLY WORK!
