The rav4 2013 is not even 5 years old yet. The car does not speed up when pressing gas and jerks suddenly. Per dealer, there is a problem with the computer connected to the transmission and had a lot of customers with the same problem.

Speedometer is not accurate. When using an external gps unit in other vehicles, the speed on the speedometer is accurate. When i am driving in this 2013 toyota rav 4, the speedometer says 60 mph but the gps says 57 mph. The faster you drive , the larger the discrepancy.this is a limited with 18 'wheels, maybe it was set from the factory for 17' wheels?

The sunroof spontaneously shattered. It sounded like a loud thud of something hitting the roof of our car, but we were driving in an open park area with nothing overhead and no other cars within close distance. We opened the sunroof cover and saw that it had completely cracked. By the time we got home, much of the glass was missing.
