2023 TOYOTA RAV4 Complaints

The digital instrument cluster display failed completely while the vehicle was in operation. The speedometer, warning indicators, and safety alerts were not visible, making it unsafe to drive due to inability to monitor speed or receive critical warnings. There were no prior warning messages before the failure occurred. The vehicle was inspected by an authorized Toyota dealer, Toyota of Temecula, who confirmed instrument cluster failure. The vehicle has been out of service since November 25, 2025. The dealership has ordered a replacement instrument cluster, but the current estimated availability is May 2026. The vehicle remains unusable due to the safety risk created by the failed display.

When pulling into a driveway, sudden acceleration while slowing down caused crash into side of the garage and damage to the right front fender, side panel and hood.

My premium plug-in hybrid SUV (RAV4 Prime XSE) has been continuously grounded at my local authorized Toyota Service Center since December 29, 2025, due to Safety Recall 25TA08 (NHTSA Campaign 25V-595). The 12.3-inch digital instrument panel in my vehicle had failed completely, removing access to the speedometer, system warnings, tire pressure alerts, and other critical information, which poses a severe risk of crash or injury. As of today February 5th, 2026, my vehicle has been out of service for over 37 consecutive days with no available remedy or estimated repair date. This constitutes an unreasonable delay in repair and a failure by the manufacturer to remedy a safety defect in a timely manner as required by the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act (49 U.S.C. § 30120), to my best understanding. This grounding has created a severe family hardship primarily because this is our only vehicle. We are a family of three, including a [XXX] toddler with daily transportation needs. Toyota’s attempts to mitigate our hardship have been substandard: (1) Initially, I was provided an economy SUV (Corolla Cross) which I was forced to return on January 16th because the dealership allowed the temporary registration to expire; (2) I was then downgraded to an economy sedan (Corolla) which was unfit for local winter conditions (snow and ice) and failed to meet the safety and transportation needs of my toddler; and (3) Only on February 5th was I offered a gas-powered RAV4. Despite owning a premium plug-in hybrid, I have now been forced to pay unfairly for gasoline for 37+ days due to Toyota's inaction. Because my vehicle is unsafe to drive and the manufacturer cannot provide a timely fix, I am formally requesting a prompt manufacturer action in the form of a prompt repair or a fair repurchase (buyback) to resolve this ongoing safety and financial burden.

My 2023 Toyota RAV4 Prime is currently subject to an active safety recall. I brought the vehicle to my Toyota dealership on 12/20/25 to have the recall addressed, but I was informed that Toyota does not yet have an available fix or remedy. As of January 28, 2026, there still is not fix or remedy. As a result, my vehicle has been sitting at the dealership for an extended period of time with no estimated completion date. Toyota has provided a rental vehicle, which I appreciate, however there is still no clear timeline for when my own vehicle will be repaired and returned. I am filing this complaint because I was told there should be a fix/remedy for this recall and the recall remedy delay has effectively taken my vehicle out of service indefinitely. Owners should not be left without their vehicles for unknown periods while manufacturers work on recall solutions. I respectfully request that NHTSA review this situation, as the lack of an available remedy and open-ended repair timeline is creating hardship and uncertainty for affected owners.

The contact owns a 2023 Toyota Rav4. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V595000 (Electrical System); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the instrument panel failed to display critical safety information. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 21,000.

Recall 25TB08 is affecting the vehicle. Driver display is dead, will not display. No speedometer, no fuel quantity, no battery level, no tire pressure or engine check lights, etc. Toyota does not have a fix and dealer I purchased the vehicle from will not repair/replace defective components.

The dashboard screen (which shows all data, including speed, gas, charge, etc) has been completely blank/black regularly and will stay that way for days. There is no way to know how fast we are going, how much charge the car has, if there are engine issues, etc. This has been happening for a few months now. The car has not yet been to the dealer to be seen but will be soon. I found many reports of this same thing in the same models and years on reddit and other places on the internet.

The digital display (including speedometer, fuel gauge, warning systems, odometer, and speedometer) remains blank for extended periods of time, at least once greater than 30min, while driving. Manufacturer recall in effect for greater then 4 months with no fix identified.

The contact owns a 2023 Toyota Rav4 Prime. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V595000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM); however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and opened a case. The contact had not experienced a failure.

I am reporting an unresolved safety defect involving the 12.3-inch instrument panel display on my Toyota RAV4 Prime, which is the subject of NHTSA Recall 25V595 (Manufacturer Recall 25TB08). The defect affects the LED digital display that provides critical driver information, including vehicle speed, warning indicators, and operating status. Initially, the display would intermittently go blank at startup and sometimes return during the drive. However, the condition has progressively worsened. The instrument panel display has now been completely blank and unresponsive for over three consecutive days and has not returned at all, including after multiple drive cycles. As a result, the vehicle cannot display critical operating information or malfunction indicators. This issue was first reported to an authorized Toyota dealer in August, prior to the recall being issued. At that time, I was informed that I would be responsible for replacing the entire display/instrument system at my own expense. On September 11, 2025, Toyota issued Recall 25V595 acknowledging that the instrument panel display may be blank at startup and stating that operating the vehicle in this condition reduces the ability to see malfunction indicators and could increase the risk of a crash or injury. The vehicle was most recently serviced on December 19, at which time the dealer confirmed that the issue is related to the recall and that no remedy is currently available. The recall remains incomplete, and Toyota has not provided a repair, interim solution, loaner vehicle, or timeline for resolution. Because the instrument panel display is completely nonfunctional, the vehicle cannot be safely operated. The lack of a remedy for a safety-related defect affecting a core vehicle safety system has exceeded a reasonable timeframe. I am requesting NHTSA review and intervention.
