Example complaints

Other or unknown: “I was driving on the highway and heard a very loud crash/explosion noise. Glass fell all over the inside of the car, the panoramic sunroof exploded. I believe this is the spontaneous explosion issue that has been reported in other rav4s, as there was no known road hazard seen or found, no overpass where anything fell, and there is no clear impact point on the broken glass, no other body damage anywhere else.”

NHTSA complaint #11645231, filed 2025-02

Brakes: “With the car stopped & the transmission in the Drive or Reverse position with foot off the brake pedal: 1. Pushing the Power button once to turn the car off results in the transmission automatically shifting from Drive or Reverse to Neutral without automatically setting the Parking Brake. 2. If the car's front-end is on a slope pointed up-slope the car will freely roll backwards. If the car's front-end is pointed down slope the car will freely roll forward. The above sequence is very dangerous when on a steep slope. …”

Electrical system: “After purchasing a new vehicle, I have become aware of a persistent and widely reported problem with the Toyota/Lexus battery maintenance/charging logic for the 12V batteries in their HEV and PHEV vehicles. This results in chronic under-charging of the 12v battery due to low charging voltage even during normal use and produces a failed 12v battery within 6-24 months. …”
