The car burst into flames spontaneously in the parking lot. Nobody was inside the car at that time. It happened a few minutes after the car was parked.firefighters put out the flames later. However, the car was completely destroyed. Fortunately, nobody was injured or hurt.

While driving the vehicle on a city street, all the lights on the dashboard flashed on, then off. Vehicle immediately lost all engine and electrical power. I was able to drive the vehicle off the road and on to a parking lot. Thinking that a battery cable possibly had come loose, I raised the hood. The area at or near the battery was on fire. I called 9-1-1, but by the time the fire department arrived, the entire front part of the vehicle was in flames. The 2013 Toyota Rav4 was completely destroyed. I was not injured, but I am concerned that other Rav4 drivers may not be as fortunate.

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?

My husband and I were carpooling to work. While driving on the highway with minimal traffic in a clear straight away (no overpasses) we heard what sounded like a gun shot and I panicked. My husband thought I may loose control of the vehicle out of fear. He was able to coach me to pull off the highway so we could inspect the vehicle. The sunroof had looked like it exploded from the inside out. We called the dealership which stated they do not cover any glass damage and referred me to safelite which then referred me to sunroof express for repair. This was extremely upsetting as nothing struck the vehicle and we feel that we were not at fault. We did nothing to cause the breakage.

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.

Takata recall while driving, the vehicle tends to suddenly give off a "jerking" sound. When this happens, the vehicle tend to jiggle or shake then goes back to normal. This has become frightening, especially when driving on the highway. This usually happens while the vehicle is in motion. This event has happened on the highway, local road, city streets, in fact, anywhere. It just happens without warning. It is happening more often, hence I am very concerned now. The latest occurrence was Sunday, June 10, 2018. Before that, it was infrequent, and I thought it was normal over the years, but now it is happening too often.

While my daughter was driving on the interstate in Oklahoma her sunroof exploded and shattered into small pieces of glass without any warning. She did not hear anything hitting it prior to it exploding. It just happened.

Squirrels crawled into the hood and chewed the battery cable wire and turn signal wire, this happened 2 days in a row after repairs were done the first time. The soy based coating of the wires is attracting a swarm of squirrels.

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.

Manufacturer: Toyota motor corporation vehicle identification no. (VIN): Xxxxxxx. Bought a Toyota certified at dealership, (push button) however in six occasions, car engine would not turn on. Indicator light for steering was on. After several tries, and once I pulled the steering hard then car started fine. Took car to dealer to check it, they said nothing was wrong with car. The last time, the car did not start even with the Toyota road assistance staff/towing, was unable to get it out of garage, area was too low. Ended up leaving car at garage overnight. Next day, I returned the car, did a trade in for new Toyota. However, dealer or Toyota co. Did not admit problems with car. Battery was functioning fine as everything else would turn on, ie, radio, ac..fan, lights.

Before my 2013 Rav4 limited was even 2 years old, I discovered an indoor swimming pool on my passenger floor. My dealership claims that my Rav4 had a clogged sunroof drainage tube, but when I took it to another dealership we found all evidence to the contrary. The service manager removed two pieces of trim: One that sits directly beneath the A-pillar (where the dealership claims the water travelled) and another that sits back underneath my dash and glove box. Both trim pieces had padding (just like the carpet padding) on the back side. The padding beneath the A-pillar was bone dry. The padding underneath the dash was damp. Please explain to me how water traveling down the A-pillar managed to make a 90 turn"?" the dealership did nothing but clear the "supposed" clog and ask if I wanted to have the carpets air-dried for 24 hours. They made it sound like they did me such a great favor on the invoice and also like I was leaving the hospital against doctors orders. What they fail to mention is that a) I had already had the carpet padding air-dried the day before and B) I requested that they replace my carpet padding and reapply the black rubber soundproofing material attached to my floorboard (they declined). In hindsight, neither would have fixed the damage already inflicted upon my vehicle. Both Toyota of North America and ncds declined my case claiming that my "vehicle is operating as designed." I have a new car that is dry rotting, molding, an electrical fire risk (page 409 of the 2013 Rav4 owner's manual) and if it the water actually did run down the A-pillar my takata side curtain airbags are now primed to throw shrapnel -- but my vehicle is operating as designed!!! if you own a 2013 or 2014 Rav4, please check under your carpets for signs of a water leak. If you find a water leak in your Rav4, please post it here.

Dear sirs, I don't have nothing to hide, we here on the island of curacao have been experiencing many vehicles which are chinese and their VIN no, are also cloned, I believe this is a world problem, and also us manufacturers have to understand that this is a world problem, and they can also help to expose this situation. I have posted many on blogs, which has to do with the cloning of cars. There was also an issue with some one bought a vehicle at the Toyota dealer a Rav4 2013 and we came to find out that it is a 2010 mexican clone car. And I have reported these also to other agencies in usa, one of them is the sec securities exchange commission whistle blower department.

- Jamaica, NY, USA

The vehicle is a clone Rav4, I have bought this vehicle from a Toyota dealer ship, and I paid for a Rav4 2013, when I went to investigate I found out it was cloned Toyota Rav4 of the year 2010, and it came from the factory in Mexico, so these is against the laws. So what would you advise me to do?
