On 11-9 the vehicle had an unintended acceleration that resulted in a collision. The vehicle was brand new. On 11-8 the vehicle had another unintended acceleration with a different driver where no collision was involved. Toyota is ignoring the problem.

The contact owns a 2022 Toyota Rav4. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, she noticed that the front windshield started to form a crack from the front passenger’s side over to the driver’s side of the windshield. The contact stated that the crack had formed without an impact to the windshield. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 2,963. The VIN was unavailable.

Car automatically accelerated when slowing down to make a turn into parking lot. Car is only a few months old and has 7,000 miles on it.

When driving at a speed of ~60 miles, I felt a brief loss of power steering. The wheels were heavy and difficult to control. It lasted for less than a second but occurred twice already in one week.

The contact owns a 2022 Toyota Rav4. The contact stated while driving 50 MPH, the vehicle ESC became inoperable. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and the ESC system was updated but the failure reoccurred. The manufacturer was contacted, and a case was filed. The failure mileage was 4,800.

I received from Toyota USA via USPS a "Safety Recall Notice" regarding my 2022 RAV4 hybrid. Both the local Toyota dealer and Toyota Brand Engagement Center told me there is no recall on my vehicle. Neither could tell me why I received the notice. When I searched NHTSA recall database for Recall No. 22V-519, it referenced an unrelated fire hazard on HYundai and Kia vehicles. Attached please find the notice and its envelope. Sending false information like this creates a perception of danger, when perhaps none exists

The breaks are failing to stop the car if there is any rough spots in the road it feels like I'm pushing against air, the car jerks, the break pedal will shudder. The car has no warning lights or sounds when this occurs. The car has recently been inspected by the dealership for this issue, they performed a resurfacing to the breaks. The issue has continued and 2 days after repair, car slipped into intersection due to a failure of the breaks and after going over a rough spot in the road.

Hello, I am concerned about the windshield on our new RAV4. It was chipped and the glass cracked from the passenger side to the drivers side of the car. Currently we are waiting for the car insurance to cover the cost of repair for the windshield. For safety reasons you cannot clearly see out of the windshield because of the crack. The problem cannot be reproduced currently. the problem was inspected by the insurance company representative (SAFELITE) and we are still waiting on the new windshield because apparently there is a hug backlog there was no warning when the windshield cracked. But seemingly cracked when there was no warning, my wife was driving the car when something hit the corner of the windshield (some rock or road debris)

SUV came on highway on exit ramp car ahead of me sharply moved right to center lane. Seeing the headlights I did too but he sideswiped me on driers side tearing the back tire and everything else out. He flipped me around so now I was facing on coming traffic in center lane. My face hit steering wheel. No airbag deployed

The vehicle without warning will lose all power; "Accelerator System Malfunction Output Power Reduced Visit Your Dealer" and "Pre-Collision System Malfunction - Visit Your Dealer" are the warning messages that appeared when power was lost. The "Check Engine" light also illuminated as well as a collision error light appeared. The vehicle has done this twice; the first time, the dealer found a recall which was a software update. However, today the vehicle became unresponsive again with the same error messages as before; we were lucky no vehicle hit us from behind since we were turning towards the frontage road to access the highway. The first time this happened, my wife was entering the ramp towards the expressway when the vehicle lost all power and she had to go to the side. Vehicle is now again at the dealer but cannot be serviced until Monday; however, this needs to be addressed since it is a safety concern. On the Toyota App, it is also listing a hybrid malfunction; this needs immediate attention to avoid a catastrophic event. Losing all power with no warning is completely unacceptable.

The Cruise Control has issues. On 3 long rides so far, I have experienced that it suddenly loses speed and gives the message radar ready now. Furtunately i was maintaining very safe driving distance with other cars on the highway, which has helped me accelerate in time to continue driving and avoid collision. I dont know of any pattern which triggers this. This could lead to a serious problem if it fails in a tricky spot on highway. I am afraid to use it as its not 100 percent reliable.

I purchased a brand new Toyota RAV4 Hybrid XLE on June 30, 2022 and on my first drive, 6.4 miles from the dealership to my home, the the windshield developed a crack on the driver's side. It is available for inspection. Both Toyota and Safelite say they are having supply issues with the windshield and of Sep 1, 2022 neither Toyota or Safelite have replacement windshields for the RAV4. The crack affects vision for both the driver and those outside the vehicle. The problem has been confirmed by the local dealer, Toyota of Cedar Park, TX and by Safelite of Austin Texas. The windshield has NOT been inspected by the manufacturer, police, Amica insurance, or any others There were no warning lamps, messages or symptoms of the problem prior to failure or after the failure.

When breaking on dry roads no matter my speed, or how hard I press the breaks, the ABS system kicks in momentarily making my vehicle feel like it’s accelerating vs. stopping. This is very intermittent. Tends to happen more on rough city roads, however it really doesn’t matter. I understand ABS is really suppose to work for wet or snow roads in slippery conditions. In my experience ABS has always worked with a rapid pulse. This is certainly not happening. The breaks literally feel like one big skip.

Unknown crack on exterior front windshield. The vehicle is nearly a month old and always garage kept. Discovered hairline crack from drivers pillar to halfway towards the rear view mirror.

When driving the car on a highway around 45 mph or above you can hear a excessive wind noise near driver window. There are several posts about this issue reported by various owners. This excessive wind noise makes fatigue and tiredness which can have impact on drivers ability and may result in health issues.

On May 13th, 2022, I was in my garage and inside the vehicle in park mode, when I suddenly heard a little crack sound coming from the windshield. It was very faint, but I heard it. Then I noticed that it was the windshield and it had a little crack. On May 19, 2022, I took the vehicle to Elmhurst Toyota and they stated that a rock hit the windshield which is false. I am certain that it is a defect of the windshield in the RAV4's. I am not the first person to complain about the faulty windshield on these models and truly believe that is very unsafe. This needs to be investigated as it can cause a car accident if cracked on the highway.

My Rav4 Hybrid 2022 exhibits a front brake squeal/squeak noise when braking at low speeds. Went to Toyota delearship and they examined but said there's no issue! Called toyota customer service and expected a call back but didn't hear back.(Toyota Case Number 220726001124)

"The total fuel dispensed is less than expected when the fuel nozzle automatically clicks off when refueling. [Some customer reports] have also noted the "Distance to Empty" shown on the multi-information display is less than expected."

The fuel tank warning light comes on when the car still has over 4 gallons of gas remaining in the tank. This was confirmed by checking fuel fill versus tank size and also running vehicle well past warning light. The warning light appears to mislead drivers and is inaccurate. The actual range of the vehicle is misleading with this warning light.
