“Vehicle was parked, just turned the car from engine on to off with just the battery on running the radio while I was preparing to exit the vehicle. Suddenly the entire radio system completely stopped working. I looked at my infotainment screen and it was certainly having a issue because ever since that day over one year ago I have not been able to listen to radio, use GPS, use bluetooth, etc. …”
NHTSA complaint #11288506, filed 2019-12, 45,000 miles“The hatch will not close fully unless I push on it. It's a self closing door. Now it stops 3/4 of the way down and stays open. The vehicle is being loaded and then closed. It is stationary.. I've had it in the dealership 3 times. I've queried on-line and others have had this problem”
NHTSA complaint #11093365, filed 2018-05, 30,000 miles“The roof rack cross bars do not stay in place while being used and car is in motion. We purchased a rockymount for our bikes that connects to the roof crossbars and when driving on the interstate, the stock cross bars moved backwards so that our bikes were hanging over the backside of the car.”
NHTSA complaint #10836892, filed 2016-02, 5,000 miles“Issue first started when battery had to be jumped. Then a few days later when in motion driving to the bank, the radio started acting up and got stuck on station and song and then just went black then a picture of the radio appeared the on the screen and was attempting to update but would go black again and then start over so was stuck in some kind of reboot. Not sure if electrical problem or what so took it in to dealership and they told me I should only have to pay $50-60 to reboot it. …”
NHTSA complaint #11065324, filed 2018-01, 48,027 miles“I have a Toyota RAV4 2014 xle awd. The radio system went out showing a picture on the screen of the radio and what seemed to be a rebooting of the system constantly. The usb port is also shorting out. To note what I was doing, I was turning the car on in my garage to leave and run errands for the day. This all happened on the same day. I only use the system for cd playing, radio playing, and occasionally navigation. When I called the dealership the first response was I would have to pay $98 each for a system check on both problems. …”
