I was alone around 630pm driving straight east on i10 twin spans in the left lane going 70ish mph when i heard a loud pop sound. Overhead i could hear a little whistling and rattling coming from the sunroof shade that was closed. I quickly got into the right lane and slowed to about 50 mph. I immediately stopped at the toyota dealership for them to review the vehicle. They claim a rock hit the glass, however, there…

The sun roof suddenly exploded, while we were driving 55 miles an hour, straight, on the highway. Luckily we had the inner roof shield closed, otherwise the broken glass would have fallen into the car and onto the driver / passenger, putting us at serious risk of an accident. There was no sign of anything hitting the roof... And after we pulled over to safety, we noticed that the broken glass that was still attached…

I was driving to work around 740am on 287 south just past rt 24. Dashboard has "4wd" warning and smoke coming out from hood. I quickly moved to the shoulder and fire broke out before car came to full stop, all within one minute. I barely escape the car and called police and fire dept. They came and put off the fire. There are two explosions before the fire was put off.

Auto light feature does not work properly: on many occasions (about 2-3 times per week), while car is in motion early in the morning and at night, with the headlights in the "auto" mode and the automatic high beam feature enabled. When starting the car, the auto light function seems to be delayed. It does not work initially but starts working after the car is in motion for several minutes. The auto light feature is…

The line departure alert / steering assist buzzer is not working or not loud enough to be heard. Occasionally when driving for hours on freeways i may get drowsy, so i bought the new rav4 and specifically chose a model with lda/sa hoping that it assists me. After driving over 1000 miles between the cities, i am completely disappointed with this feature. It supposed to alert me when the car drives over the lines with…

I was driving straight down the interstate and my sunroof exploded right over my head. I was not trying to open it, nothing impacted it, it just exploded and the glass shattered everywhere into my car and on my head. The interstate was not rough road and the weather conditions were sunny and 50 degrees. Again no impact from and kind of weather or debris

Vehicle's lda (lane departure alert) could not be heard and no volume adjust. Dealer won't do anything about it claiming there is no standard loudness required. Yet, the lda is part of toyota safety sense and marketed as alert for safe driving assist. My vehicle is 2 weeks old and missed the warning twice already. False advertising by toyota as safety alert when it could not be heard. Dangerous to depend on it.01/29
