TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA RAV4. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ALL FOUR RIMS OF THE VEHICLE WERE RUSTED AND CAUSED THE TIRE PRESSURE TO BECOME LOW. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE RIMS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM TOYOTA ABOUT 1 YEAR AGO AND THE PART IS STILL NOT AVAILABLE. THE NHTSA RECALL IS : 15V-577. THIS LENGTH OF TIME IS UNACCEPTABLE.

WHILE IN BUMPER/BUMPER TRAFFIC - FOOT ON BRAKE - CAR RAPIDLY ACCELERATED TO OVER 3K RPM'S. ALMOST HIT CAR IN FRONT. HAD TO TURN OFF IGNITION TO STOP. THEN RESTARTED CAR WITHOUT INCIDENT.

YOUR WEB SITE SHOWS ONLY ONE OPEN RECALL CONCERNING THE REAR SEAT BELTS. THERE ARE AT LEAST TWO/THREE OTHER RECALLS THAT I RECEIVED LETTERS FROM THE MANUFACTURER AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THERE ARE NO PARTS TO EFFECT REPAIR, SHOULD THEY NOT BE LISTED AS OPEN IN YOUR WEB SITE? DO YOU THINK THAT TOYOTA HAS THE PARTS TO EFFECT REPAIR?

PAINT ON ROOF IS CHIPPING OFF. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS PROBLEM ON BOTH THIS AND OTHER WEBSITES, ESPECIALLY RELATED TO WHITE VEHICLES. IS ANYTHING GOING TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS?

VEHICLE ENGINE CAN BE SHUT OFF WITHOUT TRANSMISSION INTO "PARK" CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO ROLL AWAY WHEN ON A SLOPE/INCLINE CAUSING POTENTIAL SERIEOUS BODELY/PROPERTY DAMAGE. SUCH UNEXPECTED VEHICLE MOVEMENT DISREGARDS BASIC SAFETY PRINCIPLES: 1ST: ELIMINATE POTENTIAL HAZARD; 2ND: GUARD AGAINST HAZARDS AND 3RD: WARN AGAINST HAZARDS. UNLIKE TOYOTA, OTHER VEHICLE MAKES WITH "SMART-KEY SYSTEM" ADDRESS THIS HAZARD BY EITHER ELIMINATING, GUARDING AND/OR WARNING SAFETY PROVISIONS. VEHICLES WITH CONVENTIONAL KEY START SYTEM REQUIRE DRIVER TO SHIFT TRRANSMISSION INTO "PARK" BEFORE SHUTTING OFF THE ENGINE. FYI, I HAVE CONTACTED PEOPLE IN THE NHTSA RULEMAKING DEVISION - FMVSS NO. 114 WHO CONFIRMED THAT THIS IS A "SAFETY HAZARD" AND NUMEROUS COMPLAINS HAVE BEEN FILED BY CONSUMERS.I ALSDO CONTACTED THE LOCAL TOYTA DEALER AND TOYOTA USA CORPORATE TO FILE A COMPLAIN (#10870836) WHICH NEITHER DID RESPOND TO.
