I noticed water pooling on the driver side floor after it rained. I determined water was leaking in the drivers side window and streaming down to the floor and wetting the electrical components. An online search found others with a similar problem. It appears to stem from inadequate gaskets on the roof rails. All of my windows have water seeping in during rain. My concern is the electrical components getting wet. I found one example of corrosion that someone posted online.

My RAV4 has factory roof rails and the seals on the rails for drivers and passengers sides have begun leaking which caused water to get inside the liner of the roof and travel down the a pillars to the side curtain airbags. I had the vehicle inspected at Toyota of Terre Haute Indiana. And they confirmed where the leak was at and stated that they have no reports of this issue happening. However there are a lot of people reporting the same issues online.

Steering suddenly locked up. Car steered to the right went off the road. Turned over several times and landed upside down. Causing serious injuries to myself and the driver. I was in hospital 3 weeks total with broken ribs , broken vertabrae and dislocated shoulder. Cuts on feet from the glass. Driver had cuts on head and dislocated shoulder. Prior to accident, I had reported (twice) to dealer that steering wheel felt loose. The second time, I had him write it down on report when I came in for oil change. So I have proof that I reported it. They checked steering and said they couldn't find anything wrong; but the problem was it didn't do it all the time. Sometimes it would take quite a few seconds before it would react if I would turn it a little left or right. Eventually, it did lock up and caused the horrible accident. The accident occured on November 26, 2020. I typed that date, but somehow this report changed it to Aug 6 and I can't seem to change it.

The roof rails in my 2019 RAV4 are leaking into my car. Toyota dealership is aware of this issue in my hometown as I’m not the only person to come forward with this however stated that being there isn’t a recall there is nothing they can do. This is a dangerous as the roof holds air bags, electrical components amongst the mold that it’s causing. I have a son who is highly allergic to the mold spores. Toyota used the cheapest parts available to put this car together. This needs attention as people are paying 35-40000 for these vehicles for this to take place and they turn their backs . Please take this serious please

Unknown component or system While driving on the Interstate during rush hour, traveling 60 miles an hour, another vehicle along side us entered our lane and we had to avoid a collision by aggressive braking and steering. Following this maneuver, our vehicle immediately shut down. An 18 wheel barely missed crashing into our rear. It took us approximately 1 minute to realize we needed to put the car in park, step on the brake, and push the ignition button to restart the vehicle.

Case number started at Toyota Customer service: 210701002045 Requested an unacceptable time to answer of 8 weeks. There was a recall for this vehicle. I wasnt notified and the recall also doesnt show in any website (Not Toyota not in the goverment one). I went on a trip thousands mile aways from home, I was up in the montains, the car got broken in a very bad place where I had to spend almost $2,000 dollars due to Towing, meal and hotel expenses (as the dealer was closed on a weekend). I am trying to solve this with Toyota but they say I have to wait 8 weeks to start looking at my case. It is unacceptable . I need a reimbursement ASAP.

Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? Yes, while driving on the interstate the vehicle began vibrating heavily. What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? Upon inspection it was noticed that the inner tread of the left rear tire was damaged, worn away and scalloped or cupped. The tire was replaced with a spare, and vehicle driven to the nearest Toyota dealer for service. The damaged tire is available for inspection. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes, the servicing dealer informed us that the left rear camber was out of manufacturer specification being -1.8 deg. The minimum allowed is -1.7, and the minimum recommended is -1.3. We were informed that to be safe the vehicle required repairs; however, they were unable. We then took the vehicle to the selling dealer who also found the issue and were unable to repair. Two additional service centers also confirmed the rear camber was out of specifications, and posed a safety risk. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? Yes, the dealer stated that a manufacturer representative from Toyota inspected the vehicle. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? Safety was compromised as the damage to the tire was severe and hidden. This damage could have resulted in a loss of control of the vehicle. The vehicle remains in the unsafe condition. It is also important to note that the tires were being rotated every 5,000 miles by a manufacturer service center as recommended.

The sunroof exploded outward/upward. I was doing 75-80mph north bound on I-15 in Montana, south of mile marker 250. Suddenly there was a loud BOOM like a an explosion! (I was startled and almost lost control of the car.) When I reached Cascade, the nearest town, I checked and saw that the sunroof was bulged outward, with a large hole. See pictures. Condition: around 12:45pm. Outside - Cloudy, temp around 30 degree Farenheit with a dusting of snow. Inside cabin was set to 70 degrees. I do not know the elevation above sea level. I was not near any area that rocks could fall on the roof. The only other vehicle was about 1/4 to 1/2 mile behind me at the time of the incidence. The autobody shop guy checked for any signs of rocks or bullets or anything that could have caused it and he could not even guess at the cause, especially since the glass was bulging outward.

The 2019 Rav4 models have an issue with the roof rack rails leaking water into the A pillar as well as the C pillar due to a failure in the materials the manufacturer used. Not only does this cause issues with the headliner of the vehicles but this could also endanger the occupants of the entire vehicle due to the leak affecting the airbags located in the A and C pillars. This leak has a potential to affect electrica as well as the main safety component located in the locations stated above. Not addressing the issue could result in death due to airbag failures and could then lead to class action lawsuits.

ON APRIL 5, 2021 AT 10:40AM ON A HIGHWAY GOING 50 MPH THERE WAS AN EXTREMELY LOUD BANG. LUCKILY WITHOUT CRASHING I PARKED ON THE SIDE AND SAW THAT THE SUNROOF HAD SHATTERED WITH THE APPEARANCE OF COMING FROM WITHIN. THE SHADE HAD BEEN CLOSED THEREFORE THE GLASS WAS PREVENTED FROM SCATTERING ON ME. I HAD TOYOTA CHULA VISTA, CA CHECK IT OUT AND THEY DECLINED TO HONOR THE WARRANTY. THE WEEK AFTERWARDS I SPOKE TO THE MANAGER OF TOYOTA IN YUMA, AZ WHERE I PURCHASED THE AUTOMOBILE WHO ALSO DECLINED TO HONOR THE WARRANTY AND RECOMMENDED TO MAKE A CLAIM WITH MY CAR INSURANCE. I HAVE LEARNED THAT IT IS COMMON FOR SUNROOFS TO EXPLODE IN THIS CAR. THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION SUIT THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN SETTLED. PLEASE INFORM ME OF ANY FUTURE RECALLS. I WILL UPLOAD PHOTOS.

TOYOTA HAS NOT PROVIDED THE PARTS TO REMEDY A KNOWN RECALL. MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER20TA02 NHTSA RECALL NUMBER20V682 THE DEALERSHIP HAS HAD MY LEASED VEHICLE FOR OVER 5 MONTHS AND HAS YET TO PROVIDE A DATE THAT THEY WILL HAVE IT REPAIRED AND DRIVABLE. WHILE THEY HAVE PROVIDED ME A LOANER FROM A SECOND RATE RENTAL COMPANY, I AM EXTREMELY FRUSTRATED THAT I AM NOT ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR I AM REQUIRED TO MAKE PAYMENTS ON. DUE TO MY AGE, THE RENTAL COMPANY CHARGES MORE FOR A COMPARABLE VEHICLE, SO I AM FORCED TO DRIVE A GREATLY INFERIOR CAR TO THAT WHICH I AM PAYING FOR. ADDITIONALLY, AT THE END OF MY LEASE, THE VEHICLE WILL HAVE SIGNIFICANTLY FEWER MILES THAT MY LEASE AGREEMENT ALLOWS (SINCE IT HAS BEEN PARKED ON THEIR LOT FOR SO LONG, WHICH WILL SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE THE VALUE OF THE VEHICLE FOR THEIR RESALE. I HAVE ASKED THEM TO BUY BACK MY VEHICLE, AND THEY HAVE BEEN UNWILLING TO WORK WITH ME, AS THEY ARE NOT REQUIRED TO DO PER MY CONTRACT. ULTIMATELY, I AM PAYING FOR SOMETHING THAT I AM NOT RECEIVING AND AM SPENDING EVEN MORE MONEY DUE TO THE FUEL INEFFICIENCY OF THE LOANER. I FEEL LIKE I PAID FOR A STEAK DINNER AND GOT A MCDONALDS HAPPY MEAL WITHOUT THE TOY. I FEEL THAT I SHOULD BE COMPENSATED WITH AT LEAST HALF OF MY MONTHLY PAYMENT FOR THE AMOUNT OF TIME THEY HAVE THE CAR I AM PAYING FOR SITTING ON THEIR LOT BEING UNUSED. THAT WOULD CURRENTLY BE $687.

AFTER RECEIVING THE RAV4HYBRID FUEL TANK FIX FROM TOYOTA IN MARCH OF 2021, MY VEHICLE STILL ONLY HAS A FUEL CAPACITY OF 12.5 GALS. THE DEALERSHIP STATES THIS IS BY DESIGN TO ALLOW ROOM FOR SPLASH BACK. 12.5GALS DOES NOT ALLOW FOR THE TOYOTA ADVERTISED RANGE OF 550MILES PER TANK. I AM GETTING ~470MILES PER TANK, 80 MILES SHORT OF THE TOYOTA ADVERTISED. THE FIX FROM TOYOTA TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK AND ASCENDING UNIT HAD NO CHANGE TO MY FUEL GAUGE READING, DISTANCE TO EMPTY OR FUEL FILLING CAPACITY. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND TOOK MY VEHICLE BACK IN AGAIN, THE INFORMED ME I WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO PUT MORE THEN 12.5 GALS OF FUEL IN MY VEHICLE AND WILL ONLY GET ~470MILES PER TANK; THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO PROVIDE AN ANSWER TO THE CONTRADICTION OF WHAT THEY WERE ADVERTISING THE RANGE OF MY VEHICLE SHOWN AT 550MILES PER THE TOYOTA DOCUMENTATION. PICTURE SHOW IS AFTER FILLING THE TANK. 466 MILES TILL EMPTY AND AVG OF 38.3 MPG. IF I HAD 12.5 GALS AND AVG OF 38.5 THAT WOULD BE 478.75MILE TILL EMPTY. AT 14.5 GALS, THE TOYOTA ADVERTISED AND 38.5 AVG MPG IT WOULD BE 555.35MILES TILL EMPTY. THE ONLY WAY 12.5 GALS GETS TO THE ADVERTISED RANGE OF 550MILE ON ONE TANK IS IF THE VEHICLE EXCEDED THE TOYOTA ADVERTISE MPG OF 41 CITY / 38 HIGHWAY. IT WOULD REQUIRE AND AVERAGE MPG OF 44MPG

THIS IS ABOUT OUTDOOR THERMOMETERS ON CARS. IF THEY AREN'T ACCURATE, WHAT GOOD ARE THEY. THEY CAUSE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. HERE'S WHY. ON A COLD DAY WITH PRECIPITATION, IF IT ISN'T ACCURATE PEOPLE COULD GET A FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY. MINE IN PARTICULAR IS THIS. MINE READS 4 DEGREES TOO WARM. THE PROBLEM. IF IT'S RAINING AND IT READS 34 DEGREES, I'M 2 DEGREES ABOVE FREEZING I THINK, I'M SAFE, NO ICE WHEN IN FACT IT'S 30, 2 DEGREES BELOW FREEZING. DO YOU GET MY POINT. IF A CAR IS WARM, IT'S A WARM DAY, THERE IS AMBIENT HEAT ON THE ROAD. I DON'T EXPECT IT TO READ ACCURATELY. IF IT'S COLD, CLOUDY, RAINING, THERE IS NO AMBIENT HEAT. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO TO FIX THIS AND THEY JUST AREN'T THAT ACCURATE ANYWAY. IF THEY AREN'T ACCURATE, THEY SHOULD NEVER BE ON A CAR IN THE FIRST PLACE. THIS COULD KILL INNOCENT PEOPLE. AUTO MAKERS SHOULD BE HELD TO AN EXACTING STANDARD ON THESE THINGS OR DON'T INSTALL THEM AT ALL. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE.

AFTER PERIODS OF RAIN, SNOWMELTING ON THE CAR, OR GOING THROUGH A CAR WASH, WATER ENTERS VIA THE ROOF RACK AREA,POTENTIALLY EXPOSING THE AIRBAGS TO WATER. THE WATER CAUSED STAINING ON THE HEADLINER ALL OVER (A. B, C PILLARS). THE CURTAIN AIRBAGS FOR THE FRONT AND BACK SEAT WERE IN DIRECT CONTACT WITH THE AREA SATURATED BY WATER. I TOOKTHE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED IT, AND THEY REPLACED THE HEADLINER AND ROOF RACK HARDWARE AFTER CONFIRMING THERE WAS A LEAK (3/4/21). AFTER THE REPAIR WAS DONE, A FEW WEEKS PASSED WHERE THERE WAS LITTLE TO NO RAIN TO VERIFY THE LEAKWAS ACTUALLY FIXED. YESTERDAY, (3/26/21) IT RAINED. I WENT TO INSPECT THE HEADLINER, AND THE PASSENGER CURTAIN AIRBAG ON THE A PILLARWAS SURROUNDED BY WETNESS. THIS POSES A RISK TO THE INTEGRITY OF THE AIRBAGS. PLEASE NOTE, NO MODIFICATIONS WERE MADE TO THE CAR- THE ROOF RACKS ARE THE OEM TOYOTA LOW PROFILE (FACTORY INSTALLED). THIS OCCURS (FROM WHAT I CAN TELL) WHEN THE CAR IS STATIONARY. IN THIS CASE, MY DRIVEWAY.
