Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“The sunglasses hatch is impaired which causes items to fall from the overhead, impairing the driver. This is a commonly reported issue amongst Internet forums and at the particular dealer I took it for repair. It is not easily repairable and if someone does not know about this issue, like me, it could cause it to fall on them and wreck when driving.”

NHTSA complaint #11759135, filed 2026-08

“I got in my car last night (it was dark so hence the first picture being dark) , shut the driver door, and my trunk window blew out/shattered. My car was clear of clutter, only a pair of shoes, an umbrella and a doll present in car, so no cabin pressure relief vents could have been blocked.”

NHTSA complaint #11767223, filed 2026-09

“While driving on the freeway, I heard a loud explosive sound and pulled over to inspect my car. I found the panoramic sunroof glass shattered, but there were no signs of impact or objects hitting the vehicle. Mike Calvert Toyota inspected the car and denied warranty coverage, claiming impact damage despite no evidence. They advised us to contact insurance, but we believe this is spontaneous shattering not our fault.”

“2 days after picking up my RAV4, I noticed a dimple in my rear hatch right (on the outside) above where it latches. I’ve had my car for a 3 months now. As time has gone on, the dimple has turned into a larger indention and has developed a significant crease. It’s getting worse.”

NHTSA complaint #11757054, filed 2026-08

“The sunglasses holder suddenly popped open while driving, causing my sunglasses to fall out and me to swerve. This could have caused an accident. The sunglasses holder continues to pop open by itself, especially in hot weather or when hitting bumps in the road. I have already had the sunglasses holder replaced under warranty and the new part has the same issue. This is clearly a poor design and needs to be addressed through a recall before someone gets seriously hurt.”
