My car has an electric rear door/hatch. Without electric it is extremely difficult to open. The electric opening does not work so I had to have it repaired. The cost was about $1100. The Toyata repair shop mechanic said there have been many of these repairs. The vehicle is only 6 or 7 years old.

While going about 60 mph in a highway curve, the rear passenger door partially opened (unlatched). The driver dashboard immediately started flashing warning triangle and door opened picture. After stopping on a shoulder, I went outside and saw the door partially opened. After opening/closing the door no more errors occured.

I was driving down a highway on the afternoon of February 26, 2022, when we heard a loud pop. At our next stop, we pulled back the interior sunroof cover and discovered the sunroof had shattered spontaneously. It was buckled up, not down, so I don't believe anything on the highway hit the vehicle. We were very lucky the interior cover was closed at the time it happened, or it's possible glass could have fallen into the car on the driver or passenger.

My brand new car caught fire in the front while it was parked outside a restaurant. I came outside to leave and it was towed away. The car was totaled from the fire. I saw the Rav4 investigation is happening and wanted to make sure you had my report included. The fire happened in the front left (as it was stated in the article other cars). I can send you additional details if needed but everything is matching up with the other incidents. It was a brand new car which is why it was such a strange event.

When it rains the driver side flooring and mats are completely soaked absorbing up to 1 inch of water. The car isn't driven much so the problem only struck a bell this year.

This safety issue which I have seen mentioned by many other buyers online and have personally seen on a 2015 Rav4 consists of two pieces of plastic molding on the dash board which appear to be designed to look like shiny metal moldings but exhibit a very dangerous glare from both the front and side reflections from the sun. Even when wearing sunglasses it can make it difficult to see where you are going. I showed this issue to the salesmen and he could see it too. He said that he would try and find the phone number for a Toyota representative and call him about the problem. After not hearing back from him I returned a few days later and he told me that no one at the dealership could locate his number. He then talked to his manager and returned to tell me that his manager would send an email to the regional representative to see if anything could be done about the problem. It has been many weeks now and I have not heard back from anyone about resolving this safety issue.

The sunroof exploded while driving down the highway. No rock was seen before it happened and the glass was curved outward when we stopped to look at it. Fortunately, the visor/cover was below it so the glass shards did not spray into our faces. It sounded like a bomb went off. This is extremely dangerous and we have no option but to have the sunroof replaced. It would be wise to always drive with the sunroof cover over the glass to protect yourself.
