2024 Toyota RAV4 Complaint Log

I was traveling on the interstate this morning, driving approx 70mph in 55 degree weather when the sunroof exploded and glass shattered everywhere inside my vehicle. The sunroof was closed at the time, and the interior cover was opened, so the glass was all over me and the inside of the car. There were no other vehicles near me and no evidence of a rock or other debris hitting the car. I have filed a claim with my insurance company however I see online that there are several other cases against Toyota RAV4 vehicles who have experienced the same issue. It was an absolutely terrifying situation and thankfully I didn't hit another car or hurt anyone else in the process.

The contact owns a 2024 Toyota Rav4. The contact stated while starting the vehicle, the hood was shuddering significantly. Additionally, the contact stated while driving at various speeds, the hood shuddered and rose continuously while remaining closed. The contact pulled over to the side of the road each time the failure occurred due to safety concerns. The contact stated that the failure had reduced the ability to pay attention to the road while driving. The dealer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that it was a known issue. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the failure occurred because the hood was no longer made with metal material but with aluminum material. The manufacturer referred the contact to the dealer for assistance. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was unknown. The VIN was not available.

Unknown I was taking a sharp right turn into a parking spot next to another vehicle. My foot on the brake I was just stopped in the spot and the vehicle lunged forward and ran into a brick wall

The contact owns a 2024 Toyota Rav4. The contact stated while driving approximately 10 MPH, the headlights failed to properly illuminate the road above the hood level, nearly causing the vehicle to strike a pedestrian on the passenger's side of the vehicle. The contact stated that the failure had been recurring while driving. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where the contact was informed that the vehicle was operating as designed. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a case was opened. The failure mileage was approximately 100.

On my way home from work it started to rain, and my pre-collision light came on. The rain slowed down as I was home put the vehicle in park to take a picture of the pre-collision light, and the light went off. This happens around October to December of 2024. I checked and cleaned Front windshield and front Toyota emblem. I couldn't find anything wrong. One day in January 2025 after church on a sunny day as soon as I put my vehicle in gear the pre-collision light came on again which I was able to get a picture of. Each time I checked windshield and front emblem and found nothing wrong. I took the vehicle to Hendrick Toyota to have the pre-collision light checked January 23, 2025. I was told no codes were found and the reason my light came on it because my vehicle sensor is dirty. I told the service adviser when my light went of the vehicle was clean including all the sensor. The only reason the vehicle was dirty was because it had snowed the day before and I had to drive in the snow, slush, and salt to get to the dealership. I also informed them this not my first vehicle with forward Collison sensor. I had owned 3 Toyota Corolla with the same tocology. I was also told by another service advisor that She has seen other Rav4 with pre-collision light problems. About one week after dealership checked the pre-collision sensor it came on again and once again, I checked and made sure all sensors were clean. April 4/28/2025 I brought the vehicle to the dealership again to have the pre-collision sensor checked. This time they said they found codes from way back. I asked them how far back and were these codes back from my first service. Service adviser didn't know. But on my paper receipt it said they didn't find any codes but notice a very small rock chip in the glass and blamed it on that, which was not there when my problem had started with my issue of the pre-collision light. They said replace the windshield and that should fix it. I was told by another service advisor,

After parking car in driveway, a puddle of fuel is left directly under fuel tank. Girlfriend thought it was ac condensation. I stuck my finger in puddle and smelled the gasoline. Girlfriend is taking car to dealer.

- Passenger side rear tire failed - Tire is at dealer and available for inspection - Extremely dangerous situation, tire failed on a section of interstate highway under construction. Only 2 lanes available and they were narrower than normal width. Part of the shoulder was converted to driving lane so almost no shoulder to pull off on. The incident happened on a Sunday afternoon and interstate was extremely busy with weekend traffic. My wife was extremely lucky not to be involved in a serious accident. - Tire has not been inspected by anyone other than the car dealer - If the tire pressure warning light came on it wasn't noticed. There were no symptoms or warnings prior to the failure.

The contact's daughter leased a 2024 Toyota Rav4. The contact stated that after receiving the vehicle from service, the contact noticed a glare on the windshield and a cloudy film, causing difficulty in seeing while driving day and night. The contact's daughter reached out to the dealer, who diagnosed the vehicle; however, the diagnostic result was unknown. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the issue and informed the contact to take the vehicle back to the dealer for assistance. The failure mileage was 6,000.

This incident occurred on the morning of [XXX]. I was driving my new, 2024 Toyota RAV4 hybrid on the highway (it has less than 20,000 miles on it). There were no vehicles or other obstacles or road debris of any kind near me. I suddenly heard an incredibly loud, explosive sound. It was like a gunshot or as if a body had fallen on my roof. I then heard the noise of wind. My sunroof had exploded. Fortunately, I had the sunroof and the interior screen closed, so glass did not fall into my car. Once I was able to pull over, I examined the sunroof to find it had shattered and there was no indication of anything falling on or colliding with it. I took two photos and proceeded slowly to the Toyota dealer (Ourisman Toyota in Richmond, Va.) where I purchased the car brand-new/off-the-truck in February 2024. The dealer stated that they would not cover glass, including a spontaneously exploding sunroof on a new car, and so I am required to pay out of pocket. Although fortunately I was able to keep control of my car and was not injured, this was a serious and dangerous event. (Note, I was unable to upload the photos below, but have them available.)

The hood on the Rav4 has excessive vibration at speeds 60 to 70 mph. This is very distracting to the driver. It was reported to the Toyota dealer (Gettle of Charlotte County Florida). Their response was they drove another one on the lot it had the same issue. It has happened since purchased new.

The contact owns a 2024 Toyota Rav4. The contact stated that the vehicle was leaking oil. No warning lights were illuminated. The contact stated that after the first failure, the vehicle was taken to the dealer; however, no cause for the failure was found. The contact stated that the failure persisted, and the vehicle was taken back to the dealer and an undisclosed part was cleaned; however, the failure persisted. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was unknown.

The Apple CarPlay/navigation system in our 2024 Toyota RAV4 consistently drifts and displays incorrect vehicle location while driving. Navigation apps (Apple Maps, Google Maps, Waze) provide inaccurate positioning and incorrect directions. This creates a distraction and unsafe driving condition, particularly for a teenage driver. Additionally, when connected to the vehicle, the iPhone’s GPS location also drifts, preventing accurate real-time location tracking by a parent. Even once disconnected the drifting on the phone navigation continues. The vehicle has been taken to a Toyota dealership multiple times. All software updates have been completed, but the problem persists and appears to have worsened. Toyota has no solve and refuse to put in a new navigation/CarPlay system. This defect has existed since the vehicle was purchased new in 2024.

On 3 separate occasions, when pulling out into traffic, the car wrongly senses oncoming traffic as being too close and slams on the brakes once you're out in a lane, preventing acceleration and leaving you stuck and at risk of being hit from oncoming traffic.

Brand new vehicle recently purchased 9/28/2024 at the Dealership, Toyota of AA, Michigan. While driving at highway speeds greater than 70 mph, the flimsy hood balloons/bubbles up and starts flexing visibly and violently with almost 2 inch amplitude waves and looks like it wants to become unlatched and slam into the windshield. Pretty scary! This is definitely a safety risk that raises the fear in me of a potential serious crash. Vehicle dropped back at the Dealership 10/7/2024 for inspection.

Engine block cracked at 3600 miles on a 74 degree day. At 5714 miles, vehicle had another issue of coolant loss.

The hood of the vehicle vibrates excessively, especially at high speeds. I have reported this issue since the day of purchase and have taken the vehicle to the dealership four times without a resolution. This situation poses a significant safety risk to me and my family, as I believe the hood could open and cause a serious accident. I request an official inspection and resolution regarding this matter. Please advise on how to proceed with a possible warranty claim or further investigation.

The contact owns a 2024 Toyota Rav4. The contact stated that while attempting to start the vehicle, several alarms were activated. The vehicle was started on the third attempt; however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was not taken to an independent mechanic or dealer. The vehicle was repaired but the failure persisted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000.

Hood vibration/fluttering at 40 speed and more at highway speeds, visible shaking even when closed. I took my car to dealer but they said no recalls. No help me with the car issues. That vibration distracted me and made me feel not safety as well as my passengers.

I just purchased a 2024 Toyota RAV4 SE Hybrid in March 2024 at Summit Toyota in Akron, Ohio.  On [XXX], the  A/C was not blowing cold air and was making loud noise when turned on.    I made an appointment for the car to get checked.    Our RAV4 has approximately 3200 miles and is used by my wife sparingly around town.   Summit Toyota called me on 8-19-24 and said there was damage to the compressor from “possibly” a rock.   They said it would not be covered under the warranty.  The total cost is around $1.250.00.  We currently have a 2020 Highlander and many other Toyotas before our current ones.  We decided to purchase this RAV4  because we wanted the reliability of a Toyota.   After today’s assessment from Summit Toyota that this was “possibly” caused from a rock then there must be a design flaw in the grate opening size.  This is a safety concern if rocks/road debris can damage components of the vehicle this easily.

The contact owns a 2024 Toyota Rav4 Hybrid. The contact stated that while driving into a parking speed at a low rate of speed, the contact pressed the brake pedal to stop but the vehicle suddenly experienced unintended acceleration. The contact indicated that the vehicle accelerated forward and crashed into the parked vehicle ahead. During the incident no injuries were reported and a police report was taken at the scene. The vehicle was later driven to the local dealer. The cause of the failure was not determined and the vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 500.

I am unable to use any GPS system when connected to the Multimedia function via Apple CarPlay. The location of the car on the maps is inaccurate. I could be a few feet to a few miles off. I called Toyota Brand Engagement to report this. Initially I asked if they could give me a complimentary subscription to their "Direct Connect" as suggested by the Toyota Service center at my Dealership. Ihad hopes that this might improve the location services. This was denied. I have taken it to the dealership 3 times in an effort to resolve this. I was told that they have seen this a few times and have replaced the radios in some cars previously with some success. At the last service visit Toyota was contacted by the service center and they were told to NOT replace any more radios and Case #240705001763 was initiated by the Toyota Brand Engagement center concerning MY car. No fix has been supplied yet nor have I received any communication about this. On Friday August 9, I spoke to "resolution specialist" who said she would escalate this as a safety issue. I have not received any communication since (except the post call survey). This is a safety concern as it renders all GPS wayfinding apps inaccurate( Waze, Google maps, Apple maps. This is a huge problem if you are relying on these. I paid almost $50,000 for this car and I expect the GPS to work

I purchased the car 1/31/24 the very next day I experienced a rough idle and the car revving up its own. Toyota was unable to duplicate the problem. In May, I experienced a small leak by driver side pillar A. I was told the vehicle was fixed. In June, I had a leak in the same pillar as well but additional areas were showing a leak. I was told the first leak was from the sunroof. The 2nd leak I was told it was the windshield. The windshield was replaced in July. In August, I am now experiencing a leak again in the same places. Toyota is deeming the care safe and drivable regardless of the fact that the car is still leaking The dealership suggest I trade in the vehicle. Aside from the leak, I’ve dealt with steering/alignment issues which have been looked at twice.

This was a rental car. The center rear seat harness is locked so it cannot be used. Pulling lightly, or with any degree of resistance, will not allow the shoulder strap to be loosed so it can be used. As a result a passenger cannot be seated in the center of the rear bench seat. Also, the cover assembly for the rear cargo area was installed incorrectly so it cannot be pulled out and secured to the slots. It appears this was a dealership prep mistake.

The cover and insulation material around the steering shaft came off and it is interfering with the brake and acceptation pedals. It looks to be a safety risk. TOYOTA claims that it is not cover under warranty, but I am concern if this can eventually cause an accident. Refer to the picture attached.

I noticed at 3 thousand miles my abs light would come on and the abs would kick in and hear a grinding noise when braking over a slight dip in the road and entering a parking lot (breaking on incline slope or decline slope. I brought it into the Toyota dealership and they said they looked at everything (only 5 minutes) and nothing was wrong with brakes. The abs kicking in while braking on dry pavement has never gone away. At about 28,000 miles, i started to hear a brake squeaking noise coming from the front drivers side tire while braking at slow speeds, and when backing up. It came and went and now it is consistent and does it all the time and also squeaking when not breaking and turning to the right. I had a mechanic remove my tire and he said the bolt to the brake caliper is loose and the caliper itself is loose and that the brake pads are fine. I am now seeing there is a safety recall for this exact complaint for my exact car, Toyota rav4 hybrid 2024 , however, when checking if my vechile is part of the recall, by entering my VIN #, it says my vehicle is not part of this recall. This needs to be addressed and fixed by Toyota as this is a manufacturing defect. A caliper bolt should not come loose on its own if properly installed.

The contact owns a 2024 Toyota Rav4 Hybrid. The contact stated that while attempting to park the vehicle in a parking space, the vehicle accelerated without warning. The vehicle crashed into a tree while the contact's foot was firmly depressed on the brake pedal. The air bags did not deploy upon impact. The contact did not suffer any injuries and did not seek medical attention. A police report was not filed. The contact stated that two days prior to the failure, the "Hybrid System Fail" warning message appeared on the instrument panel. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for a repair and an inspection. The contact was informed that the vehicle's black box did not record a vehicle failure during the accident. The body of the vehicle was repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 4,600.

I was pulling into a parking space at work and went to break to park and my car accelerated up a hill. After I released my foot from the break,and tried pumping the break the car eventually decelerated and I was able to come down off the hill to park. I had damage to the passenger corner panel and had to file and insurance claim for repairs. I called the dealership and they said they had not heard of any type of issues with breaks on this model and to file an insurance claim and they would inspect the vehicle for default.

The contact owns a 2024 Toyota RAV4. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the brake pedal was depressed, however, the vehicle did not stop as intended. The contact stated that the failure occurred while the contact was trying to avoid a crash. The contact stated that while trying to prevent the oncoming vehicle from crashing into the contact's vehicle, the contact crashed into a curb. The contact stated that while driving off the curb, the brake pedal was depressed and the steering wheel was steered to the left, the vehicle did not stop. The contact stated that the vehicle crashed into a pole and then the vehicle stopped. The vehicle was damaged on the passenger's side from the front bumper to the passenger's front door. The driver's front door rear view mirror was damaged. In addition, the transmission fluid leaked and the passenger's front wheel was detached. The fire department and Police department arrived on the scene. The contact sustained injuries to the right lower leg and left wrist. The contact’s left wrist was burned due to the air bag deployment. The contact received medical treatment for the injuries at the scene. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 5,500.

I was pulling into a parking spot in a parking garage. My foot was off the accretor ready to brake and then the car self accelerated and hit the cement wall. The red brake light came on and I slammed on the brake but the damage was done. The front bumper was cracked on the left side and dented on the right side. There whole front end was scraped and scratched. The collision sensor is damaged

The car self accerated while I was pulling into a parking spot and hit a cement wall. The brake sign came on and I braked. Damage to the front of vehicle and the collision sensor was demolished.

Car was left inside garage for about 20-24 hrs. Car was locked and turned off with no one in it. Upon going to use the vehicle after this amount of time had passed, it was found the passenger side dash airbag had deployed at some point in time since last parked.

The contact owns a 2024 Toyota Rav4. The contact stated that while releasing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle quickly surged or jerked forward, like the vehicle would unintendedly accelerating. The contact became aware of a delay in the light on the side view mirror being illuminated whenever there was a vehicle approaching in the blind spot. The contact was unable to recall if a dealer or an independent mechanic was contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

It's brand new car

I bought a brand new 2024 Toyota Rav4. It was raining heavy, I drove through some deep puddles. I parked at my jobs parking lot, let my car idle for a few minutes, and I received a message on the dash "Engine Stopped. Steering Power Low." I went out 2 hours later, tried again, same message. Waited all day, even called a Tow truck. Right when tow was about to show up, I started the car again, no message, and car was fine. I told dealership, and they told me it was because the engine got water in it. But looking online it's because of a faulty battery or alternator from the factory. Two days later, it happened AGAIN as I was parking. I saw the warning momentarily as I was turning off the car. I turned it back on again, and no message. Please look into this. I fear for everyone who buys a Rav4 from the factory. It seems to be a common occurrence for brand new Rav4, not just a one or two happenstance.

break in the rough road the brake is not working. The car is shaking before break. Looks like break is sleeping. always happen when you drive in the rough road if you need to break, the brake is not working properly. Something is off. It happens always when you drive in the rough road and you need to break

The vehicle simply shutoff while driving. I am told Toyota is aware of the defect related to water intrusion in the air intake. It causes water to intrude into the air filter and map sensor which in turn causes the vehicle to simply shut down.

I'm driving a rental Toyota RAV4. I stopped the car at a curb, pushed the button to turn off the engine, and got out. There was a beeping sound (accessory on beep). I ignored it, as I wanted to quickly check something outside. I started to walk away and someone yelled 'car rolling'. I ran back, couldn't block the heavy car, opened the door and jammed on the foot brakes. Then I noticed the car was still in Drive. With no engine-transmission torque against the wheels. The car is proximity-keyed, but does not require the transmission to be in the Park position, to turn the engine off. This has happened twice in my driveway as well. In retrospect I'm lucky not to have been struck or run over by the car or clipped by the door. -------- Yes I 'should' have put it in park. But every regularly keyed vehicle I have driven won't let me remove the key until it is in Park, and as I said this has happened when I was doing other things in the car in my driveway. Going proximity keyless has dropped the transmission interlock requirement. This is a recipe for disaster.

I have driven 20 years in USA, where I had observed a debris (dirt/ rock) from road hitting the wind shield and have never had damaged by car wind shield. My new TOYOTA RAV4 xe, wind shield cracked by UN-noticeable debris hitting it. Wind Shield quality has been compromised by TOYOTA. It is so thin and week that it gave way. I lost confidence in Toyota and feel nervous as similar damage may happen in future also. How can you ensure that they recall and install better wind shield. Dealers sell Warranty for the same when we buy new cars, so that Financial impact is taken care by additional 3-4 K. $ warranty sale. But what about Passenger in front if the windshield breaks and cause face / eye injury. The wind shield of RAV4 is too thin for it large area (size). It may be OK for windows and rear, but not OK for front. Do they test the impact test on Wind shield (1/2 cm stone or ice (hail) hitting the wind shield from their vendors? Toyota is not considering this in Manufacturing Warranty. Relying on Toyota's quality, i denied Dealer's warranty, as I am a safe driver (no incidence in my 40 years of driving. Toyota should reimburse and provide High quality Wind shields. Yours sincerely [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I waited a few seconds then tried to turn off and restart the car. The message "Steering Power Low" came on as well as several warning lights. I turned the car off totally and waited. I tried restarting again. Same bucking and error message. I turned the car off. and reported the issue to Brampton east toyota, they perform some checks and found battery issue and ask me to report if comes again I was promised this issue would not come again, but second time on Friday [XXX] evening this happened again and the car lost all power and slightly hit a road side wall, thanks to the the [XXX] the car was not in speed or on a express highway otherwise Toyota would found 5 dead bodies including a 5 year old child in car.

Hood shakes in the middle presenting the appearance that the hood will open on its own, side mirrors shake causing distorted view

After driving the vehicle in the rain, pulled into work and the car died. Would not restart, it popped up with power steering low error code. After leaving work car started right up and drove normal. Searching online and a lot of other people are having same issue, causing there cars to die and not restart when they are in traffic. Most people reporting the same issue have had their cars die on them while on the highway in stop and go traffic, which could lead to a wreck. I don’t want this to happen to me or anyone else as I travel a lot with my two small children in the vehicle. Other items to note, almost all the people I found online with same issue have said that it was also raining, with their windshield wipers on and the start stop function turned on. Thank you for looking into this for me and other customers.

The 12.3 in multi media display keeps going blank while driving I have taking it back a couple of times and still does it on the way back from a trip this year the screen went blank while I was using the map in a city and about got into a accident

Moon roof spontaneously shattered while driving. No impact from any object caused this, no other vehicles around and vehicle was only at 5 MPH at time of shattering. It’s as if the glass just shattered outwards from inside the cabin of the vehicle. Showered driver with glass and could have caused injury especially if glass fell into eyes.

Vehicle exhibits a squeal/squeak noise from the front brakes with light to moderate braking while driving at low speed.

None of the doors has puddle/ courtesy lights which can cause hazard situation when doors need to open in dark environment. Those lights when available alerts oncoming vehicles pedestrians or cyclists. Oncoming vehicles cyclists at danger of poor visibility if the doors open. There use to be lights on all 4 doors few years ago on any motor vehicle. Then certain manufacturers made them available only on front doors. Now they are all gone from all doors at least in the car I have. In my opinion this should be a safety requirement. Kindly evaluate and see if what I mention make sense. It was a simple technology which may have prevent certain hazardous situation.

1 - there is no hatch release button on the remote or inside the vehicle 2 - there is no tune knob on the radio. Dangerous when using the touch screen to change channels while driving 3 - the door handles are close to the door hinges. Extremely hard to carefully open and also have to pull very hard to close doors. There is no grip in the door armrests. 4 - gearshift should be on the left side of console, not the right 5 - no ability to customize what you want displayed on the touchscreen, ie mpg, direction, temperature, date, time, channel, etc. It’s all or nothing. 6 - trip info doesn’t display current mpg compared to trip mpg 7 - passenger seat has pocket on back, but driver’s seat does not
