I took the car in for an oil change. When the technician opened the hood, he discovered that the striker for the hood latch had broken free of the factory welds that hold it in place, rendering the latch inoperable. While i have owned the car, there has been no damage or blows to the front end or hood. There are no marks or signs of damage at all. The striker has simply become detached from the hood. It appears that…

After being parked in carport overnight on a winter night in dec 2017, i drove only a couple of miles down the i-15 freeway in utah between spanish fork and springville no more than 60 mph when i heard a loud 'exploding sound' on the top of my car outside and then 'tinkling' noises from the front of the roof area to the back of the car. It happened at 0900 on a cold sunday morning and the traffic was extremely…

Vehicle was making a left turn, when another vehicle went through a 'red' light and hit it on the right fender. Fender came off. Other vehicle had front smashed in and airbags deployed. The air bags did not deploy in the toyota. Driver was wearing seatbelt, but lack of airbag caused drivers arm and chest to hit steering wheel and legs to hit other components.

Takata recall. I would like more investigation regarding when a car is repair per specification and state law. How is that a company take control of the value and history of the car. But is not reported the correct way when the repair is done. Affecting the owner of the vehicle.

The car was being driven in philadelphia at a low speed when the engine caught fire. The fire quickly was out of control and destroyed most of the car, including the engine, dashboard, front seats, windshield, windows, front tires which exploded, and airbags.

I had a very dangerous experience with a 2015 toyotarv4 xle. I was going up an exit ramp slowly with the traffic going and stopping when all of a sudden my right foot was stuck between the accelerator and the brake pedal. I could not retract my foot to brake, causing the vehicle to continuing going forward. I believe that there is a serious problem with this vehicle braking/acceleration due to the short space…

I have had this car for roughly 10 months. It was bought brand new. I have had to replace two windshields in that time. One was cracked in early october 2015 and replaced on november 7, 2015(lengthy due to replacement unavailability). The other happened on december 23,2015 and replaced on december 26,2015 both cracks were due to (what i consider) relatively small stone chips that happened while driving on interstate…

Yesterday, while i was parked at a secure location the back glass of my 2015 toyota rav4 broke unexpectedly for no apparent reason. There appeared to be no point of impact and the glass appeared to have exploded outwards. There was nothing in the car that went through the window and there was nothing around the car that may have hit the window. Other than two small areas where the glass fell outward the window was…

Sight lines - again. No one under aprox. 5'9" can safely operate this vehicle. I (at 5'7") can not see the front of the vehicle or determine where the front wheels are because of the poor driver position. The real danger happens at night at unlighted intersections. Turns are missed because the driver can't determine where the front wheels are. I know this doesn't sound dangerous, but mark my words, there are going…

From the drivers position the front of the vehicle can't be seen. I missed three corners at night because i can't determine where the front of the vehicle is and i will no longer drive it at night. I consider this to be a lethally dangerous design flaw and demand that the 2015 rav4 be removed from the roads until toyota redesigns the front hood, lights and dash areas so the driver can see where the front of the…

Loud buffeting wind noise and vibration when any rear window is partially lowered or open. Will diminish or go away if either front window is open partially or all the way. Vibrating droning noise is so loud you can hear nothing else. Noise increases with speed starting at about 20 mph and up. Design flaw or is a repair available? Definitely a safety issue in my opinion. Nature of the vehicle? Hope not.
