THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHT BEAMS FOCUSED APPROXIMATELY 20 FEET ABOVE THE GROUND, WHICH MADE IT DIFFICULT TO SEE THE ROAD.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, TRAVELING ABOUT 65MPH WHEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN I HEAR A LOUD BANG. I PULL OVER MY CAR AND NOTICE A LARGE HOLE IN MY SUNROOF. I DIDN'T PASS UNDER A BRIDGE AND THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE A ROCK OR OTHER OBJECT WAS DROPPED ON THE ROOF. ADDITIONALLY, THE GLASS WAS CURVED UPWARD, LIKE A BOTTLE TOP BURSTING FROM A BOTTLE. THE SUNROOF SEEMED TO SPONTANEOUSLY EXPLODE. I BELIEVE THE ONLY POSSIBLE EXPLANATION IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT.

THEN I WAS TOLD THAT THE CAR COMPUTER HAS TO LEARN THE WAY I DRIVE. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR NOW BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHEN THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. I AM THROUGH BEING INSULTED.

I HAVE HAD AND CONTINUE TO HAVE BATTERY TROUBLE WITH MY TOYOTA RAV4. I FIRST BOUGHT A NEW 2014 AND AT MY REGULAR MAINTENANCE AT THE DEALERSHIP, THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED SEVERAL TIMES. I WAS UNCOMFORTABLE ENOUGH TO TRADE IT IN AND GET A NEW 2016. I STILL HAVE THIS ONE, BUT IT CONTINUES TO HAVE BATTERY TROUBLE. I HAVE BEEN LEFT STRANDED AT WORK WHEN MY CAR WOULD NOT START. THAT IS WHEN I FOUND MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF CORROSION, AND TO THIS DAY, THE TERMINALS CORRODE OVER EVEN WITH NEW BATTERY. THE PASSENGER DOOR DOES NOT ALWAYS LOCK WITH THE KEY BUTTON BC OF THIS ISSUE. I WOULD ESTIMATE I'VE REPLACED THE BATTERY 3-5 TIMES BETWEEN THE TWO CARS, WITH NO REAL SOLUTION. BATTERIES HAVE ALWAYS BEEN REPLACED/INSTALLED BY THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. (I'M SURE INVOICES COULD BE PULLED IF NECESSARY) MY CARS HAVE NOT STALLED WHILE RUNNING, THEY WON'T START OR JUST START TO HAVE ELECTRICAL ISSUES W LIGHTS, AND IT GETS CHECKED BY THE DEALERSHIP. THEY USUALLY RECOMMEND REPLACEMENT WHILE THE BATTERY IS COVERED. A SEPARATE BUT EQUALLY UNSETTLING ISSUE IS WITH THE WINDSHIELD. IT RECENTLY CRACKED DUE TO A PASSENGER FLICKING A BUG ON IT. YOU WOULD THINK A ROCK LANDED ON IT.

SOMETIMES MY BRAKES WORK NORMALLY. OTHER TIMES, THE BRAKE PEDAL WILL BE HARD TO PUSH, AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WILL NOT COME BACK UP WHEN I RELEASE IT. IF I DON'T PULL THE PEDAL BACK UP WITH MY FOOT, BRAKES WILL CONTINUE TO BE APPLIED EVEN WHEN I'M ACCELERATING. I CAN'T TELL WHY THEY WORK SOMETIMES AND NOT OTHERS. I COULD SPEND 4 HOURS DRIVING AROUND WITH STICKY BRAKES, AND THEN SUDDENLY, THEY'RE FINE.

HAVE BARELY HAD MY 2016 TOYOTA RAV4 A YEAR, WHEN LAST WEEK JUST LEFT WORK AND TURNED ONTO THE HWY ABOUT 10 MIN GOING ABOUT 65 MPH ON A STRAIGHT STRETCH. ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEARD A BLAST. FIRST I THOUGHT SOMEONE SHOT THE CAR, THEN THOUGHT MUST HAVE BLOWN A TIRE, BUT IT WAS STEERING FINE. I HEARD AIR AND LOOKED UP AT THE SUNROOF AND IT HAD SHATTERED AND EXPLODED, BIG CHUNK HAD BLOWN OUT. MORE LITTLE PIECES WERE BLOWING OUT SO I SHUT THE COVER. TOOK A PICTURE OF MY DISPLAY SHOWING TEMP, SPEED ETC. WASN'T SURE WHAT TO DO, I WAS 30 MILES FROM TOWN, SO I DROVE TO GAS STATION FOR GAS, AND TOOK PICTURES. NEXT MORNING CALLED TOYOTA AND TOLD THEM WHAT HAPPENED. HE MADE ME AN APPT. FOR LATER THAT DAY. I SAID IT SHOULD BE NO COST TO ME AS IT'S OBVIOUSLY A DEFECT IN THE SUNROOF. HE SAID WE WILL TAKE A LOOK AT IT AND SEE IF A ROCK HIT IT OR SOMETHING. I SAID "NO ROCK HIT IT, IT JUST EXPLODED FOR NO REASON". WENT TO APPT AND SERVICE GUY HAD ONLY BEEN ON THE JOB FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS, THEY SENT OUT MAINTENANCE MANAGER. SHE TRIED TO TELL ME A ROCK MUST HAVE HIT IT, I ARGUED THAT NOTHING HIT IT, IT JUST EXPLODED. THEN SERVICE DIRECTOR CAME OUT, HE SAID THERE'S NO WAY TO PROVE WHAT HAPPENED AND THAT IT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER MY INSURANCE COMPREHENSIVE FOR GLASS REPAIR. I SAID SURE WITH A $500 DEDUCTIBLE THAT I WILL HAVE TO PAY. HE SAID WELL THERE'S NOTHING THAT WE CAN DO. THEY WROTE UP A REPAIR QUOTE AND GAVE THAT TO ME. THEN A COUPLE GUYS COVERED THE SUNROOF WITH STICKY PLASTIC TO KEEP THE RAIN AND OTHER STUFF OUT. OTHER THAN THAT THEY WERE NO HELP, THEY SAID THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF THIS HAPPENING, WHICH I FIND HARD TO BELIEVE, SO WHEN I GOT HOME I RESEARCHED EXPLODING SUNROOFS AND FOUND THAT THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS. I FEEL IT IS A DEFECTIVE SUNROOF AND TOYOTA SHOULD PAY FOR THE REPAIRS.

ALL 4 TAIL LIGHTS ARE DEVELOPING A WHITE HAZE ON THE INSIDE OF THE LENS THAT WILL EVENTUALLY AFFECT THE VISIBILITY OF THE AFFECTED SAFETY LIGHT. THIS INTERNAL LENS CONTAMINATION CANNOT BE CLEANED AND WILL CAUSE THE LIGHTS TO FAIL TO MEET THEIR ORIGINAL DOT APPROVED SPECIFICATIONS CREATING A SAFETY/CRASH HAZARD. THIS DEFECT APPEARS TO AFFECT ALL 2016-2018 RAV4S SUPPLIED WITH LIGHT ASSEMBLIES MADE BY ICHIKOH/VALEO. NOTE: THIS ISSUE IS NOT CAUSED BY ISOLATED DEFECTIVE CRACKED OR BROKEN LIGHT ASSEMBLIES CONTAMINATED BY WATER. BASED ON MY OWN VEHICLE AND A ROUGH PARKING LOT SURVEY ALL OF THESE LIGHTS WILL DEVELOP THIS ISSUE OVER TIME. MY CURRENT WORKING THEORY IS THAT THIS INSIDE LENS FOGGING IS CAUSED BY LEACHING PLASTICIZERS FROM THE LIGHT ASSEMBLIES COMPONENTS VAPORIZING AND THEN DEPOSITING ON THE INSIDE OF THE LENS. THE AMOUNT OF SUNLIGHT RECEIVED SEEMS TO CORRELATE WITH THE SEVERITY OF THE ISSUE.

PLEASE BE AWARE THAT NEWER TOYOTA CAR AND TRUCK MODELS ARE NOT COMPATIBLE FOR THE MOST PART, WITH THE LATEST TO SERIES OF APPLE IPHONES, THE 11 AND THE JUST RELEASED 12 SERIES. THIS HAS BEEN A KNOWN ISSUE FOR OVER A YEAR, YET NO RESOLUTION HAS BEEN PROVIDED. THIS IS A POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD ESPECIALLY IN STATES THAT REQUIRE HANDS FREE USE OF A CELL PHONE WHILE OPERATING A VEHICLE. HOW CAN TWO LARGE COMPANIES NOT WORK TOGETHER TO PROVIDE THE NECESSARY INTEGRATION BETWEEN THEIR PRODUCTS TO ALLOW SAFE OPERATION OF THEIR VEHICLES AND PHONE. I ASK TO NHTSA TO INVESTIGATE THIS MATTER AND TAKE PROPER ACTIONS TO MITIGATE THIS RISK ASAP.
