You can hear wind when driving your vehicle. When you get up to 50 miles per hour is when U can hear it good. Also you can smell freon. I reported this to my dealership within two weeks of purchase.

I bought a brand new 2019 Rav4 limited with 150 miles on the odometer, now has about 460 miles. A few days into the purchase, I noticed yellow tick marked glitches showing up on my drivers center main console. This main console displays my mph, speed limit, lta, and more. I thought nothing of it as it went away for a few minutes when I turned on/off my car, but it would show up again. After these yellow tick marks started showing, my whole main center screen will go black with only the rear seat belt red light, park, and bsm lights flashing. In addition, my analog RPM, gas gauge, and temp gauge were all down. I was driving blind for a while, until I had to pull over on the highway/street to restart my car so that I can see my main dash (RPM, mpg, temp, gas, etc) again. Some of the pictures that are attached with black screen are examples of myself turning on/off my car while I was stuck in traffic so I could restart/see all of my main dash console gauges, RPM, mpg, etc. When my screen goes dark, I have to look at the other cars to match their speed because I was basically driving blind. This is a serious safety concern to myself and my family! I have a video of this scary occurrence, but the video file is too big to attach. I took the car in the day of this started to happen and it continue to sit in the dealership.

The engine of this vehicle can be turned off by pressing the keyless "off" button on the dash without the transmission having to be in "park". I turned off the engine with the transmission in the drive position on a slight incline in a shopping center parking lot I exited the car and it rolled backwards. I was able to jump back into the car, start the engine, roll forward, put it in park and turned off the engine. Had this been on a steeper incline I would not have had a chance to get back into the car and stop it from rolling backwards. It could easily have hit other cars or people walking in the parking lot. This is a scary situation and could be remedied by the manufacturers by ensuring that the engine can only be turned off with the transmission in the park position. This was a rental car from the dallas/fort worth airport.
