2020 TOYOTA RAV4 Complaints

My computer car shows these messages: 1. Pre-Collision System: A malfunction in the System has been detected. do not relay on this system. 2. Vehicle Stability Control System: A malfunction in the VSC, TRAC, or hill-start assist control system has been detected. Do not relay on these systems. I ask to another costumer who have the similar car and he said he has the same messages. My Toyota dealer could not detected in all the PM..!!!

Went to start car and received warning that smart key was not working Unable to turn on car followed instructions in manual car would not turn on and all power lost Unable to open doors Called AAA and technician stated front battery was drained no power and that battery bad Took to dealer who stated it was computer problem that caused battery to be drained This is a safety issue as this appears to be a recurring problem Should not be occurring in new car

2020 Hybrid Toyota RAV4 would not turn on, indicating "Smart Key System Malfunction" - has less than 7,000 miles on it, is driven daily, and no lights or other electrical components were left on in the vehicle between the last time it was driven and when it failed to start. Toyota Roadside Assistance was able to jump the 12V battery and get it started, but warned that it is not a long-term fix.

I purchased this vehicle in 2020 and from then this has happened twice and no information was provided when I serviced my vehicle or when the vehicle was repaired last time. The battery died earlier with a warning but this time, the battery died again without a warning. The battery was changed in August within 7 months of purchasing the vehicle and after that in the next 8-9 months, the battery died. I am scared to use this vehicle anymore because you never know when the battery will die and the service center people have no information about why the battery got drained out. I saw few more similar complaints online. The vehicle was idle or not used only for 3 days.

THE CONTACT OWNS A 2020 TOYOTA RAV4. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL SOUND COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SUN ROOF GLASS WAS SHATTERED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SUN ROOF GLASS SHATTERED WITHOUT INCIDENT OR IMPACT. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS CONTACTED TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE VEHICLE TO BE INSPECTED HOWEVER, THE DEALER WAS EXTREMELY BUSY AND WAS UNABLE TO INSPECT OR REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 14,000.

SINCE OWNING THIS VEHICLE, WHICH I PURCHASED IN JUNE 2020, THERE HAS BEEN A STRONG SMELL OF ANTIFREEZE COMING FROM THE FRONT LEFT OF THE VEHICLE. THE SMELL ONLY HAPPENS WHEN IT IS WARM AND THE AIR CONDITIONER IS RUNNING. I DO NOT SMELL IT INSIDE THE CABIN. THE SMELL IS VERY STRONG. I HAVE TAKEN IT THE DEALER 5 TIMES AND AFTER MANY SYSTEMS TESTS, THEY HAVE TOLD ME THE SMELL IS "NORMAL" AND THERE IS NOTHING WRONG.

TWO RIGHT HAND SIDE TIRES BLEW OUT WHEN EXITING THE FREEWAY. THERE WAS NO WARNING ABOUT LOW TIRE PRESSURE AND IN ADDITION TO THAT, THIS IS A BRAND NEW 2020 LEASED VEHICLE (1 YEAR OLD). ALL FOUR TIRES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2020 TOYOTA RAV4. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING IN INCLEMENT WEATHER, WATER LEAKED INSIDE THE VEHICLE FROM THE ROOF RACK INTO THE INTERIOR CABIN AND A BY THE A-PILLAR. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT THE WATER COULD CORRODE THE AIR BAGS CAUSING THEM TO NOT DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO RAY BRANDT TOYOTA (2460 VETERANS BLVD, KENNER, LA 70062) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH THE ROOF RACK SEALS NEEDING TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT YET REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 8,100.

TOYOTA HAS A SERVICE BUILTIN ON A DCM FIRMWARE UPDATE THAT FIXES AN ISSUE WITH REMOTE START AND WILL KILL THE 12V BATTERY EVEN BUT REFUSES TO NOTIFY OWNERS OR EVEN STATE PUBLICLY IF THEY INSTALLED THIS DURING THEIR INSPECTION ON MY CAR. HAVE BEEN INTO THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES AND HAD AT LEAST ONE BATTERY REPLACED IN A 1 YEAR OLD CAR. HTTPS://WWW.RAV4WORLD.COM/THREADS/REMOTE-START-SOS-APP.309804/

UNLESS ALL BACK PASSENGER SEATBELTS ARE FASTENED, THE 'FASTEN SEATBELT SEAT' LIGHT AND BEEPING CONTINUOUSLY GOES OFF. THIS HAPPENS WHEN NOTHING IS ON THE SEATS AND NO ONE IS SEATED IN THESE SEATS. THIS HAS BEEN CONTINUOUSLY ONGOING, WHILE DRIVING, SINCE THE DAY I DROVE IT OFF THE DEALER LOT IN MAY 2020.
