It's brand new car
- Pasadena , MD, USA
I bought a brand new 2024 Toyota Rav4. It was raining heavy, I drove through some deep puddles. I parked at my jobs parking lot, let my car idle for a few minutes, and I received a message on the dash "Engine Stopped. Steering Power Low." I went out 2 hours later, tried again, same message. Waited all day, even called a Tow truck. Right when tow was about to show up, I started the car again, no message, and car was fine. I told dealership, and they told me it was because the engine got water in it. But looking online it's because of a faulty battery or alternator from the factory. Two days later, it happened AGAIN as I was parking. I saw the warning momentarily as I was turning off the car. I turned it back on again, and no message. Please look into this. I fear for everyone who buys a Rav4 from the factory. It seems to be a common occurrence for brand new Rav4, not just a one or two happenstance.

Moon roof spontaneously shattered while driving. No impact from any object caused this, no other vehicles around and vehicle was only at 5 MPH at time of shattering. It-??s as if the glass just shattered outwards from inside the cabin of the vehicle. Showered driver with glass and could have caused injury especially if glass fell into eyes.

1 - there is no hatch release button on the remote or inside the vehicle 2 - there is no tune knob on the radio. Dangerous when using the touch screen to change channels while driving 3 - the door handles are close to the door hinges. Extremely hard to carefully open and also have to pull very hard to close doors. There is no grip in the door armrests. 4 - gearshift should be on the left side of console, not the right 5 - no ability to customize what you want displayed on the touchscreen, ie mpg, direction, temperature, date, time, channel, etc. It-??s all or nothing. 6 - trip info doesn-??t display current mpg compared to trip mpg 7 - passenger seat has pocket on back, but driver-??s seat does not

The drivers side mirror is distorted like if you have on a pair of glasses that are stronger than they actually are. It makes my eyes go cross-eyed everytime I look into that mirror & it's going to cause me to get into an accident if it's not addressed. I already went to the dealership & the service consultant said he could see what I was talking about but the service technician said he saw nothing wrong with it. I am also have an issue with the alignment. It was off when I brought it in for my inspection sticker & had them look at it & they said it was slightly off so they adjusted it but here it is 3 days later & my alignment is off once again. I contacted the person that sold me the car & a service manager is suppose to be getting in touch with me. That's also what they said last week when I first mentioned the issues to them but I never got a phone call. So we shall see.
