Sudden engine stall while driving

- Po Box 6004, PR, USA

My roof rails are leaking in the A frame, causing roof to be wet, possible damage to airbags and corrosion of electrical components. Toyota has came out with a replacement part to fix what-??s causing the leak in the roof rails, so they know there is a issue

The 2019 Toyota RAV4 Alternator failed at 43,000 miles. The vehicle has been repaired by Toyota Authorized Dealer and is unavailable to be inspected for the same issue. This issue occurred suddenly. My car flashed a charging alert, which I couldn't read because I was driving. Shortly afterward, my power steering on my vehicle went out, making it hard to steer and the car stalled in the middle of the road. When I placed my blinkers on, I was informed by another driver that they couldn't see my blinkers. If this had occurred on the highway, this could have been a more significant safety concern. The authorized dealer confirmed that the alternator failed-?"no other explanation of why it failed. The authorized dealer only inspected it. The issue appeared on May 10. The only warning provided was a charging alert. This appeared minutes before I lost power steering and the car stalled.

2019 rav 4 and newer leaking water into the headliner near air bags. Obviously we cannot test our vehicles to see whether the airbag is damaged from such thing but I-??m concerned! I-??m in a -??toyota rav 4 club-?? on Facebook and you can search roof leak and scroll for days with the same issue I-??m having. I was dismissed at the dealer when I questioned my concern on the airbag functioning properly after the water possibly corroded it. There is also people having electrical issues from this problem with the water leaking to the electrical devices. Complaints have been made to the main office of Toyota and they state they have no knowledge of this issue. I see this being posted everyday that people have leaks right at their airbags. Please review this before someone gets hurt from this flaw on the 2019+ Toyota rav 4.

As noted by many other 2019 thru 2021 Toyota Rav4 owners, there is significant water leakage intruding into the vehicle passenger compartment. I can confirm that the water intrusion that my vehicle has sustained is leaking through inadequately sealed holes for clips that are part of the Roof-rack side rails. And that this severe water intrusion is likely damaging the electrical system connectors associated with the vehicles Side Impact Air Bags and possibly the tire-pressure monitoring system (TPMS) connectors in the side body pillar areas. Our local Toyota Dealership Service Center is aware of this problem. They tell me that our standard and extended warranty will not cover the repairs, and that we should contact our auto insurance provider. I feel that should not be the case, and that this leak issue is going to cause severe injury or death due to the water leaks incapacitating the Side Impact Air Bag System and possibly other safety systems with electrical connection affected by the water intrusion.

The issue is the stock roof rack that comes with the vehicles. The clips that clip on to the body of the car have gaskets that deteriorate. Water leaks in through those holes and into the headliner of the car. The front SRS airbags are compromised and potentially rendered useless. The wiring that attaches to the airbags is also compromised because the water will eventually corrode it.

My sunroof exploded for absolutely no reason.

- Memphis, TN, USA

I noticed water pooling on the driver side floor after it rained. I determined water was leaking in the drivers side window and streaming down to the floor and wetting the electrical components. An online search found others with a similar problem. It appears to stem from inadequate gaskets on the roof rails. All of my windows have water seeping in during rain. My concern is the electrical components getting wet. I found one example of corrosion that someone posted online.

The roof rails in my 2019 RAV4 are leaking into my car. Toyota dealership is aware of this issue in my hometown as I-??m not the only person to come forward with this however stated that being there isn-??t a recall there is nothing they can do. This is a dangerous as the roof holds air bags, electrical components amongst the mold that it-??s causing. I have a son who is highly allergic to the mold spores. Toyota used the cheapest parts available to put this car together. This needs attention as people are paying 35-40000 for these vehicles for this to take place and they turn their backs. Please take this serious please

When filling the fuel tank when full fuel spills out until the pump handle finally shuts off. Estimated spillage is about 1/2 to 1 cup of fuel. This has happened more than 6 times

- Moira , NY, USA

Roof rack seals failed, allowing water in above the A-pillar, which damages the headliner and could damage electrical and side airbags, compromising safety. In talking with other 2019 Rav4 owners, many have experienced the same issue as the sealing mechanism is poorly designed.

On April 5, 2021 at 10:40am on a highway going 50 mph there was an extremely loud bang. Luckily without crashing I parked on the side and saw that the sunroof had shattered with the appearance of coming from within. The shade had been closed therefore the glass was prevented from scattering on me. I had Toyota chula vista, ca check it out and they declined to honor the warranty. The week afterwards I spoke to the manager of Toyota in yuma, AZ where I purchased the automobile who also declined to honor the warranty and recommended to make a claim with my car insurance. I have learned that it is common for sunroofs to explode in this car. There was a class action suit that has already been settled. Please inform me of any future recalls. I will upload photos.

Up to March 17, 2021 when I would drive by sign with a posted speed limit the car would 'read' the sign and display the speed on dash for approx. 30 seconds then the speed limit sign would disappear. On March 18, 2021 things changed' 'when I got on interstate -75 and passed the sign with the posted speed limit 70mph the digital sign on the dashboard read 75 mph. (photo a) 'a second change was the display did not vanish after 30 seconds but remined displayed. 'as I passed several other 70mph signs the display in the car still read 75mph. I then cancelled radar tracking to see if the problem would go away and it did not (photo B). 'I thought maybe if I came to a complete stop the 75mph would disappear; it did not (photo C) 'finally, when I passed a posted speed limit of 45 mph the dashboard speed limit updated. (photo D). My guess as to what is going on '. on the night of March 17, 2021 Toyota updated the software to all cars, so the dashboard speed limit sign would not disappear. Inadvertently, Toyota somehow made a 2nd unintentionally change so the when the car's computer sees a 70mph sign it reads it as 75mph.
