Example complaints

Electrical system: “The electronic dashboard with speedometer, and information regarding mechanical functions and fuel has gone blank. This recall has been issued however, Toyota does not yet have a fix. They are estimating sometime in December, however no specific date for a fix. I have followed up with the Toyota dealer who stated that I should file a complaint regarding the delay in a fix.”

NHTSA complaint #11700264, filed 2025-11

Other or unknown: “I was stopped at a red light at an intersection, when a car pulled up next to me, and the driver rolled down the window to tell me my vehicle was on fire. I got out of my vehicle while the driver of the other car called 911. Brookline Police & Fire came, firefighters extinguished the fire, and one of the emergency services responders had a wrecker come & take the car away. The car was towed to Watertown, then collected by Safety Insurance, which got a repair estimate of $95,000. The car was deemed a total loss and is in the possession of the insurance company. …”

Visibility (wipers, defrost, mirrors): “Road debris damaged AC condenser that cools batteries of RAV4 Prime. A quick google search yields many other cases over multiple model years highlighting a design failure on the part of Toyota. Not only is the repair costly, if not quickly remedied could lead to damaged hybrid batteries and possibly even fire.”

NHTSA complaint #11709171, filed 2026-01

Brakes: “I was driving on a busy road at rush-hour. I was behind a school bus at a light. I stopped the car the way I always do but the car kept inching up very very slowly. I could not stop the car. It just kept moving until I hit the back of the bus!!! there was no damage to the bus, but my vehicle has a lot of damage on it. It was almost new 2024 RAV4 prime!!! I have since read that there have been a lot of recalls on this vehicle for brake problems. …”
