2023 Toyota RAV4 Prime

I own a 2023 Toyota RAV4 XSE that currently has an active safety recall related to the instrument cluster/speedometer display going blank. My vehicle is experiencing this issue — the speedometer/instrument screen has gone completely blank, preventing me from seeing my speed, warning lights, or critical vehicle information while driving. I contacted my Toyota dealership and was informed that this is a known recall issue and that I should contact Toyota Customer Care. Toyota Customer Care confirmed there is currently no repair or fix available for this recall and advised me to obtain a loaner vehicle through the dealership due to the safety concern. When I contacted the dealership again, they stated they have no loaner vehicles available and could not provide alternative transportation. As a result, I am left with a vehicle that may be unsafe to operate due to the lack of a functioning speedometer and safety warning indicators, with no remedy or interim solution provided. This situation presents a significant safety risk to myself, passengers, and other drivers. I am submitting this complaint because there is an active safety recall affecting a critical safety system, the defect is currently occurring in my vehicle, and no repair or reasonable interim solution has been made available.

On Friday Jan 30 around 3pm, this Rav 4 entered the short drive way in front of the garage. The car stopped, the automatic garage door was engaged. Suddenly, the car advanced, passing through the opening garage door and into and through the back wall of the garage. This is a sustaining way for the second storey. The front of the car displaced the counters inside, demolished the kitchen, almost toppling the fridge. Given the damage to the garage done and the damage inflicted, my interpretation is that an unintended acceleration event occurred. The airbags did not deploy. My wife, [XXX] , was driving at the time and was alone in the car. The air bags did not deploy Significant damage was done to the kitchen. And because the wall was a sustaining wall, there was serious damage to the support beams throughout the house. Estimate is $118,770 plus $30,000 for the repair work in the attic.

The contact owns a 2023 Toyota Rav4 Prime. The contact stated that while driving out of a parking lot, the instrument cluster went blank. The contact used the cell phone for guidance while driving to the residence. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact associated the failure with NHTSA Campaign Numbers: 25V744000 (Back Over Prevention) and 25V595000 (Electrical System). The vehicle was taken to the local dealer weeks ago. The dealer informed the contact that parts were on backorder. The manufacturer was contacted and confirmed the recall status. The failure mileage was 25,000.

The dashboard screen (which shows all data, including speed, gas, charge, etc) has been completely blank/black regularly and will stay that way for days. There is no way to know how fast we are going, how much charge the car has, if there are engine issues, etc. This has been happening for a few months now. The car has not yet been to the dealer to be seen but will be soon. I found many reports of this same thing in the same models and years on reddit and other places on the internet.

The instrument panel has gone black since approximately January 23, 2026 other than a recall notice there has been no messages or anything on the vehicle. The dealer has tried to order a new dash three times and each time Toyota has canceled it because it is a recall issue however this has been going on 39 days so far.

My 2023 RAV4 Prime is impacted by the 12.9" display screen issue currently under recall. After experiencing two incidents of my screen going blank, my dealership advised that my car was not safe to drive and I have been driving a dealer rental car for over 10 weeks now. This is not a satisfactory solution for me for multiple reasons: 1) I no longer have access to the features of my vehicle that led me to purchase this particular vehicle, namely it's size and being a plug-in hybrid (i.e., reduced fuel costs); 2) my partner is not allowed to drive the rental vehicle which limits its usefulness for trips together unless I want to do all the driving; 3) I have been advised by the dealership I am not allowed to put my pets in the vehicle, which further limits its usefulness since I have to seek alternative transportation to take them for veterinary care, etc. Further, I am forced to return to the dealership every 30 days to renew my rental agreement. I have been given no information as to when the remedy will actually be available for my specific vehicle.

I'm experiencing an intermittent malfunction of the combination meter (speedometer), as described in NHTSA Recall 25V595. I contacted my local dealer, who confirmed no resolution was available at this time. I contacted Toyota customer care who also confirmed no resolution at this time. They indicated my only option was to seek a Toyota loaner vehicle and then request reimbursement for that expense after returning the car. I received this recall notice from Toyota in November 2025. They indicated on this notice that they estimate the remedy may be available by December 2025. It is now February of 2026 with no remedy identified. As indicated in this recall notice, driving my vehicle without a functioning instrument panel is unsafe - "increased risk of crash or injury" Per the last paragraph in the notice, I am filing my complaint with NHTSA because I feel they have failed to provide a remedy to this defect within a reasonable time, as this is a crucial safety related system, and I cannot safely operate this vehicle without a functioning instrument panel.

The contact owns a 2023 Toyota Rav4 Prime. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the instrument panel displayed a black screen. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed with instrument panel failure. The contact was informed that the failure was associated with an unrepaired recall. The contact was informed that parts were not yet available. The contact stated that the vehicle was unsafe to drive because of the unrepaired recall. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V595000 (Electrical System); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, and a case was filed. The contact requested a buyback. The contact stated that the remedy was a temporary fix, and not a permanent fix. The failure mileage was approximately 29,000.

There is an active recall on this car with no available remedy. Upon starting the car, the instrument panel/instrument cluster screen remains completely black and doesn't turn on. This means there is no way to see: (a) speedometer, (b) odometer, (c) tire pressure, (d) available fuel range, (e) available EV range, (f) check engine lights or other emergency alerts, (g) lane assist, (h) drive menu settings, (i) temperature outside, (j) what gear the car is in, (k) whether the car is in EV mode or HV mode, (l) average fuel economy, (m) whether the parking break is engaged, (n) whether all seatbelts are fastened, (o) whether any doors or trunk is open, (p) battery status, and (q) oil status. To be clear, Toyota is well aware of this issue and has sent out the recall notice. Upon taking my car to the dealership, they confirmed that this is the active recall issue and there is no available remedy. If the instrument panel has not yet gone blank, there is a software update that can be given; however, if the instrument panel HAS ALREADY gone blank, there is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE TO REMEDY THIS. The dealership would not release my car to me as it is not drivable. The recall has been active since SEPTEMBER 11, 2025 and there is no remedy available FIVE months later.

My premium plug-in hybrid SUV (RAV4 Prime XSE) has been continuously grounded at my local authorized Toyota Service Center since December 29, 2025, due to Safety Recall 25TA08 (NHTSA Campaign 25V-595). The 12.3-inch digital instrument panel in my vehicle had failed completely, removing access to the speedometer, system warnings, tire pressure alerts, and other critical information, which poses a severe risk of crash or injury. As of today February 5th, 2026, my vehicle has been out of service for over 37 consecutive days with no available remedy or estimated repair date. This constitutes an unreasonable delay in repair and a failure by the manufacturer to remedy a safety defect in a timely manner as required by the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act (49 U.S.C. § 30120), to my best understanding. This grounding has created a severe family hardship primarily because this is our only vehicle. We are a family of three, including a [XXX] toddler with daily transportation needs. Toyota’s attempts to mitigate our hardship have been substandard: (1) Initially, I was provided an economy SUV (Corolla Cross) which I was forced to return on January 16th because the dealership allowed the temporary registration to expire; (2) I was then downgraded to an economy sedan (Corolla) which was unfit for local winter conditions (snow and ice) and failed to meet the safety and transportation needs of my toddler; and (3) Only on February 5th was I offered a gas-powered RAV4. Despite owning a premium plug-in hybrid, I have now been forced to pay unfairly for gasoline for 37+ days due to Toyota's inaction. Because my vehicle is unsafe to drive and the manufacturer cannot provide a timely fix, I am formally requesting a prompt manufacturer action in the form of a prompt repair or a fair repurchase (buyback) to resolve this ongoing safety and financial burden.

On December 29, 2025, the 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster on my 2023 Toyota RAV4 Prime went completely blank upon startup. This failure immediately eliminated my ability to see the speedometer, fuel and battery levels, tire pressure warnings, and all critical brake and hybrid system malfunction indicators, rendering the vehicle completely unsafe and illegal to operate on public roads. I immediately brought the car to Wondries Toyota in [XXX] , where it has remained ever since. The dealership confirmed the failure is related to Toyota Safety Recall 25V595 (Toyota internal code 25TA08). The service department advised me that the vehicle is unsafe to drive, but they are unable to repair it because the required replacement combination meter is on national backorder with no estimated time of arrival. As of late March 2026, my vehicle has been sitting out of service at the dealership for approximately 90 days. Because Toyota has failed to provide a timely remedy for this severe safety defect, my vehicle has been abandoned on the dealer lot for a quarter of a year. Furthermore, this prolonged, unmaintained inactivity introduces secondary safety and vehicle integrity hazards. The plug-in hybrid high-voltage battery has been sitting idle and degrading for three months, and the fuel in the system is destabilizing. I am filing this complaint because Toyota's failure to supply replacement parts for a massive safety recall within a reasonable timeframe has permanently compromised the safety, use, and value of my vehicle, and I am currently proceeding with a Lemon Law repurchase that vastly exceeds the 30-day out-of-service threshold in [XXX] . Lastly, we got this RAV4 Prime new and have had all the services done at the authorized dealership since day one.

1 - The dashboard/head unit went black. Software failure. No longer able to see any metrics on the dashboard screen. Speed limit. Mileage. Electrical charge. Gas tank. Nothing. 2 - I literally cannot drive the car anymore, it's a safety issue. 3 - It's been at the dealership service center since December 31, 2025, with no solution in sight, I called again today for an update. It's been held "in repair" for three months now. 4 - The screen disappeared once before for a few hours, came back on, then disappeared again and never came back. It's a national recall - Toyota is not expediting the fix or just doesn't care

My 2023 Toyota RAV4 Prime is currently subject to an active safety recall. I brought the vehicle to my Toyota dealership on 12/20/25 to have the recall addressed, but I was informed that Toyota does not yet have an available fix or remedy. As of January 28, 2026, there still is not fix or remedy. As a result, my vehicle has been sitting at the dealership for an extended period of time with no estimated completion date. Toyota has provided a rental vehicle, which I appreciate, however there is still no clear timeline for when my own vehicle will be repaired and returned. I am filing this complaint because I was told there should be a fix/remedy for this recall and the recall remedy delay has effectively taken my vehicle out of service indefinitely. Owners should not be left without their vehicles for unknown periods while manufacturers work on recall solutions. I respectfully request that NHTSA review this situation, as the lack of an available remedy and open-ended repair timeline is creating hardship and uncertainty for affected owners.

My car's instrumental panel display (aka combination meter) went blank. This has been described in the NHTSA recall# 25V595, but no remedy is available at this time. It will not come back by restarting the car or disconnecting/reconnecting the battery. The dealership tried to reset the ECU multiple times, but that did not bring back the display. The dealership has not provided me with a loaner car. I cannot see the vehicle's speed and remaining gas, or if any doors are not shut. This makes operation of the vehicle unsafe. I respectfully request increasing the severity of the recall to Do Not Drive. Thank you, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Vehicle: 2023 Toyota RAV4 Prime Plug-In Hybrid Component/System: Digital instrument cluster / dashboard display Description of the problem: The digital instrument cluster intermittently and unpredictably goes completely blank while the vehicle is being driven. When this occurs, all dashboard information is lost, including vehicle speed, fuel and battery level, warning indicators, cruise control status, and tire pressure information. The screen remains entirely black and provides no information to the driver. Safety risk: This failure makes the vehicle unsafe to operate. The driver cannot see speed or critical warning information, and multiple safety features become functionally disabled due to the lack of display feedback. The screen has gone black while driving, which significantly increases the risk of an accident and poses a serious safety hazard to the driver, passengers, and others on the road. Timeline and progression: The issue first occurred in October 2024. Initially, it happened infrequently (about once per month) but has progressively worsened and now occurs nearly every other drive. Restarting the vehicle does not reliably restore the display. Cold weather may be a contributing factor, but the failure also occurs under normal conditions. Reproduction and inspection: The problem has occurred repeatedly and with multiple drivers. The vehicle has been taken to a Toyota dealership twice for this issue. No repair was performed, and the concern was dismissed. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. Warnings or alerts: There are no warning lights, messages, or alerts prior to the failure. The display turns completely black without warning.
