About These NHTSA Complaints:
The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
The armrest above the center compartment between the driver and passenger has a light resistance to pressure. I was drive with my right arm resting on this and my wife needed to adjust her position in her seat. She leaned on the armrest and the armrest went sliding to the front and startled me. I had a 2014 avalon that had the same type armrest and never had a problem. The dealer looked at this and said all the Rav4's are like this and they couldn't do anything. The indents for the front and back of the armrest should be stronger and not so temperamental. There should be a product improvement bulletin to correct this problem.
