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.

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 multiple accidents caused by this vehicle's poor design.

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 vehicle is. Ps. I'm 5'7" tall and should be able to see the front of any vehicle I'm driving.
