What owners report
Short excerpts of NHTSA complaints in the original wording. These are owner statements not verified by NHTSA; personal data removed.
What is concerning is that the airbags did not deploy nor did the setbelt lock. I sustained injuries to my left knee hitting the console, my left side of face including jaw hit the top of steering wheel and my forehead hit the windshield and broke it. I am concerned that the car has a safety issues.
I barely touched the gas and the car surged forward hitting a shelving unit in my garage. It was a very scary event. The car and shelving unit were damaged. Thankfully, no individuals were injured.
During the accident with spped around 35mph the air bag wasn't deployed eventhough the front and passenger glasses were all broken and the hook was completely done
Additionally, the contact stated that the failure recurred while driving. Several unknown messages were displayed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer however, the failure could not be duplicated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired.
The window stays distorted and hard to see out of especially at night or if its raining also the back seat airbag light and noise will randomly come on when driving and I will have to pull over and turn the car off and back on to get it to stop this has happened multiple times and its annoying bc I know my kids are…
At nighttime, the distortions bend, twist lights and headlights making driving very dangerous. Multiple visits to the dealer and a visit from a toyota factory representative to inspect the windshield have been met with refusal to make repairs.
I ducked, looked around and realized it was probably the sunroof because I could hear air blowing. I was on a four lane section of hwy with absolutely no cars in front of me and a car a few hundred yards behind me. There were no trees overhead and it was a clear evening outside with no rain.
The reported gas tank size of my 2019 rav4 limited purchased in august 2019, is rated for 14.5 gallons. On each occasion of low fuel, warning or less than 50 miles before empty notice, each fill up has resulted in ten gallons or less. 13 sep - 528.6 miles fill up was 9.485 range 534.
