Approximately 30 days after purchasing my 2019 Toyota rva4, while driving to work during the week of August 1,2019 on a major highway my vehicle swerved to the right almost hitting an 18 wheeler without me steering in that direction. It happened about 15 minutes later swerving again towards the right almost hitting a car. During the week of August 5,2019 the car did the same thing again. While driving home, this time the steering wheel warning light started flashing. I checked the owners manual and it stated to take the vehicle to the nearest Toyota dealership immediately which I did. On August 17th I brought my car in to be checked. Initially a young service manager told me there was nothing wrong with my car. I was persistent in having my car checked. After the young service manager spoke to a senior service manager, he suggested to the young manager that if I am being persistent then she needs to do a code diagnostics on the car. I was told an issue was found and they had to keep my car. On August 21,2019 I received a call stating my car was ready. I asked what was the problem. I was told the steering angle sensor had to be recalibrated. The car was tested for 14 miles with no problems, but I should keep an eye out for any other steering issues. I must say I am not comfortable driving a car with steering issues. It is still swerving on occasions, but not as severe.

I experienced several near misses related to two adas features as I rented this new Rav4 in atlanta. Firstly, the lane-centering feature actively tried to guide my vehicle out of its lane while driving on the highway. This typically occurred when driving across overpasses where the pavement type transitioned. The left and right lane markings were present on the pavement throughout these events. The steering wheel moved with force and speed--had my reaction time been half a second longer, I would have struck vehicles next to me. Secondly, the vehicle's full-range adaptive cruise control braked abruptly, especially at lower speeds, on nearly every occasion where highway/city traffic slowed or stopped. I was nearly rear-ended due to the jerky actions of the system. The vehicles in front braked smoothly during these events--only my vehicle slammed on its brakes when it could have lightly applied them to slow down safely. It appears that Toyota might have my data from 3/13/2019, since a sticker on the overhead console states: "vehicle data transmission is on! your vehicle wirelessly transmits location, driving and vehicle health data to deliver your services and for internal research and data analysis..." I hope that NHTSA can work with Toyota to examine these records and improve these systems.
