NOT ABLE TO TELL FROM THE GAUGE HOW MUCH FUEL IS ACTUALLY IN THE CAR. HAPPENS AT ALL SPEEDS IN ALL CONDITIONS SINCE CAR PURCHASED ON 04/18/2020 | Crash: No Fire: No | 150 |
| Jul 2020 | STRUCTURE,UNKNOWN OR OTHER,SERVICE BRAKES | ON JULY 3, 2020 AT 2:30PM I WAS PARKING THE CAR INTO A PARKING SPACE IN A STRIP MALL WHEN I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE TO STOP THE CAR BUT THE CAR IMMEDIATELY ACCELERATED AND CRASHED INTO THE PARKED CAR IN FRONT OF ME. WITH MY FOOT STILL ON THE BRAKE, I PUT THE CAR INTO REVERSE, WHEN THE CAR ACCELERATED AGAIN AND JERKED BACKWARDS, WITH MY FOOT STILL ON THE BRAKE, I PUT THE CAR INTO DRIVE AND THE CAR ACCELERATED AND CRASHED INTO THE PARKED CAR IN FRONT ON ME AGAIN FOR THE 2ND TIME.

| Jul 2020 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | RAV4 WAS PURCHASED FIRST WEEK OF JUNE 2020. TWO WEEKS LATER, I GO TO START THE CAR IN THE MORNING AND THE BATTERY IS DEAD. I HAD IT JUMPED AND TOOK IT TO TOYOTA. THE DEALER SAID EVERYTHING WAS WORKING AS IT SHOULD. I TOOK IT HOME. THIS MORNING, THREE WEEK AFTER THE FIRST INCIDENT, I GO TRY TO START THE CAR IN THE MORNING AND THE BATTERY IS DEAD. THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER WAS ABLE TO JUMP AND START THE CAR. SINCE THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENED IN A MONTH, I HAD THE CAR TOW TO THE DEALER FOR FURTHER DIAGNOSTICS. SOMETHING IS DEFINITELY WRONG WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. CAR WAS PARKED IN THE GARAGE OVER NIGHT BOTH TIMES. NO LIGHTS INTERIOR OR EXTERIOR LIGHT WERE ON. NO DOORS AJAR TO DRAW POWER. RADIO WAS TURNED OFF. BOTH FAN AND A/C WAS TURNED OFF. | Crash: No Fire: No | 863 |

| Jul 2020 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | 2020 TOYOTA RAV4 HYBRID HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING A HOST OF ISSUES SINCE PURCHASED MARCH 1, 2020. TOP THREE ARE: 1) FUEL TANK / FUEL SENDER ISSUE (SEE ATTACHED FROM TOYOTA CORPORATE), 2) REMOTE CONNECT ISSUE (T-SB-0021-20, ALSO ATTACHED), AND MOST RECENTLY 3) SMART KEY SYSTEM MALFUNCTION, PKSB FAILURE, BRAKE ASSIST FAILURE, AND A DEAD BATTERY. THESE MOST RECENT FAILURES ARE MOST TROUBLING AS THE CAR WAS TOTALLY UNRESPONSIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN A TEMPERATURE CONTROLLED GARAGE FOR 60 HOURS, UNTOUCHED. THERE ARE NO AFTER-MARKET INSTALLATIONS, AND NOTHING WAS ACCIDENTALLY LEFT ON; NO HIGH-DRAIN ACCESSORIES TO BLAME. THIS IS STRICTLY AN ELECTRICAL / SOFTWARE / FIRMWARE ISSUE, AND TOYOTA HAS SHOWN ZERO ACCOUNTABILITY IN ADDRESSING THE ISSUE. HUNDREDS, IF NOT MORE, 2020 RAV4 HYBRID OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE ISSUE (FOR REFERENCE: HTTPS://WWW.RAV4WORLD.COM/THREADS/DEAD-BATTERY.303636/). THESE VEHICLES SHOULD NOT BE PERMITTED TO BE SOLD AS-IS. | Crash: No Fire: No | 2,800 |
| Jul 2020 | STEERING,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL | TRIED TO SET RADAR CONTROLLED CRUISE CONTROL FOR THE FIRST TIME ON A WORK TRIP TO MICHIGAN AT 70 MPH. THE STEERING WHEEL IMMEDIATELY TURNED TO THE LEFT AND TOOK CONSIDERABLE PRESSURE TO KEEP VEHICLE STRAIGHT. TOOK SUV IN TO SHOP AND THEY SAID THE RADAR CONTROLLED ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL WAS WORKING FINE AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM. THIS WEEK TOOK ANOTHER WORK TRIP TO MICHIGAN AND THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED ABOUT 20 TIMES WHILE TRYING TO SET CRUISE CONTROL AT 70 MPH. WHEN I DISABLED THE RADAR CRUISE CONTROL THE PROBLEM VANISHED BUT THE SUV WOULD NOT DETECT TRAFFIC IN FRONT OF IT AND OF COURSE WOULD NOT SLOW DOWN. WILL TRY TO VIDEO THIS PROBLEM AND TAKE SUV BACK TO SHOP FOR A FIX. | Crash: No Fire: No | 1,000 |
| Jul 2020 | VISIBILITY/WIPER | MY WINDSHIELD WAS HIT BY A SMALL ROCK FROM THE VAN ON THE LEFT LANE. IT CAUSED A CHIP BUT IT CRACKED ALMOST 15 INCHES ACROSS MY WINDSHIELD. I HAVE SEEN CHIP FROM MY PREVIOUS VEHICLES BUT IT NEVER LEFT A CRACK, THAT INSURANCE COVERED IT WITH NO DEDUCTIBLE. OTHER THAN NEEDING THE WINDSHIELD TO BE REPLACED, IT NEEDS TO BE CALIBRATED TOO OR SOME SENSORS WON'T WORK. THAT'S ANOTHER $390 PLUS TAX FROM TOYOTA SERVICE CENTER. I SPOKE TO A REPRESENTATIVE FROM AUTOGLASS NOW LOCATED AT RALEIGH, NC, THAT I CONTRACTED TO REPLACE MY WINDSHIELD, SHE SAID THEY'VE BEEN GETTING A LOT OF RAV 4 LATELY WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS SO FRUSTRATING. I WENT TO THE GROCERY STORE AND SPENT $20, JUST TO SPEND $600 COS OF A BROKEN WINDSHIELD. TOYOTA PUT A CHEAP KIND OF GLASS THAT IT CRACKED BY A SMALL ROCK. THIS VEHICLE ISN'T CHEAP EITHER. TOYOTA, WHAT CAN YOU DO FOR US CONSUMERS? THIS IS SUCH A HASSLE AND EXPENSIVE INCONVENIENCE. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| Jun 2020 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | I BOUGHT A NEW 2020 RAV4 HYBRID XSE IN JANUARY. TWO WEEKS AGO, I WENT OUT IN THE MORNING TO DRIVE IT AND IT WOULDN'T START. THE BATTERY WAS DEAD. I HAD LEFT IT PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY WITH THE CAR LOCKED. THE CAR HAD 5,400 MILES. I CALLED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE TO JUMP IT AND GET IT TO THE DEALERSHIP.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MARKQUART TOYOTA (1844 COMMERCIAL BLVD, CHIPPEWA FALLS, WI 54729), ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS HOWEVER, THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT LANE DEPARTURE ASSIST WAS ACTIVATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER FOR ASSISTANCE.

| Jun 2020 | STRUCTURE | TL* THE CONTACT OWNS 2020 TOYOTA RAV4. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SUNLIGHT WAS REFLECTED OFF THE CHROME ON THE DASHBOARD, WHICH CAUSED THE CONTACT'S VISION TO BE IMPAIRED WHILE ATTEMPTING TO USE THE SIDE MIRRORS.

| Jun 2020 | ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC),SERVICE BRAKES | I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE (NEW) ON 6/03/2020. ON 6/16/2020, WARNING LIGHTS AND BUZZERS WENT ON AS I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THE WARNINGS TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH MY BRAKES, AND THAT I SHOULD PULL OVER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. I DROVE TO A NEARBY PARKING LOT. THE BRAKES CONTINUED TO WORK. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT, THINKING IT MIGHT BE A COMPUTER GLITCH IN WHAT WAS A BRAND NEW CAR. WHEN I RESTARTED THE CAR, I BACKED OUT OF MY PARKING SPOT TO "TEST" THE BRAKES. THE CAR STOPPED, BUT THE BRAKES SEEMED WEAKER. ULTIMATELY, THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALER'S SERVICE REP CONTACTED ME TO TELL ME THAT THE BRAKE ASSIST ASSEMBLY HAD FAILED. I ASKED IF THIS WAS SOMETHING THEY HAD SEEN BEFORE AND HE SAID NO. AFTER SOME RESEARCH, I DETERMINED THAT THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM AND THE SUBJECT OF A RECALL WITH CERTAIN 2019 AND 2020 TOYOTA VEHICLES, INCLUDING THE 2019 RAV4 HYBRID. IN ADDITION, THIS DEFECT AFFECTS NOT ONLY THE BRAKE SYSTEM, BUT THE VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM. I SUSPECT THE PROBLEM WITH MY CAR IS A CONTINUATION OF THE PROBLEMS WITH THE 2019 MODEL YEAR. I BELIEVE TOYOTA SHOULD HAVE EITHER CORRECTED THIS PROBLEM OR CHECKED THE 2020 CARS SUFFICIENTLY TO MAKE SURE THEY WERE SAFE TO DRIVE AND THAT THE BRAKE ASSIST ASSEMBLY WAS NOT DEFECTIVE. *TR | Crash: No Fire: No | 795 |

| Jun 2020 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER | VEHICLE IS LESS THAN A WEEK OLD (LESS THAN 1000MILES) AND I NOTICED THE FUEL TANK LID WAS CONSTANTLY POPPING OPEN. REALIZED THAT WHEN I TURNED MY CAR ON OR OFF (VERIFIED BY DEALERSHIP MECHANICS) THE GAS TANK FUEL LID WILL POP OPEN. SO, SOMEHOW THE POWER BUTTON ON THE VEHICLE CONTROLS MY GAS TANK LID. VEHICLE HAS BEEN WITH TOYOTA MECHANICS FOR ABOUT 24HRS NOW. *TR | Crash: No Fire: No | 50 |
| Jun 2020 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | VEHICLE WAS BOUGHT NEW IN DECEMBER 2019 WITH 7 MILES ON IT. ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS, THE VEHICLE WAS LOCKED AND LEFT IN THE DRIVEWAY OVER NIGHT.

ONE DAY I PARKED MY CAR IN EVENING AND NEXT DAY CAR DID NOT START (AFTER 3 MONTH OF USE WITH AROUND 1100 MILES ON IT). I CALLED TOYOTA AND THEY SEND PERSON TO TOW CAR. THEY DID BATTERY JUMP AND IT WORKED. AFTER THAT I HAVE MANUALLY TURNED OFF ALL THE LIGHTS INSIDE THE CAR TILL NOW(HEAD LIGHT IS AUTO MODE) AND HAVE NO BATTERY ISSUE BUT I STILL WORRY ABOUT SOMETHING WRONG WITH THIS CAR?S ELECTRIC SYSTEM. *TR | Crash: No Fire: No | 1,100 |

| May 2020 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | MY 2020 TOYOTA RAV4 WOULDN'T START. IT WAS PARKED IN MY GARAGE. A TOW TRUCK OPERATOR RAN A TEST AND FOUND THAT I HAD A DEAD BATTERY. THIS WAS SURPRISING BECAUSE I ONLY HAD 1,800 MILES ON THIS VEHICLE. AFTER THE OPERATOR CHARGED THE BATTERY, I DROVE IT TO THE TOYOTA DEALER'S SERVICE DEPT. THEY RAN SOME TESTS AND REPLACED THE DEAD BATTERY UNDER WARRANTY. THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIND OUT WHAT CAUSED THE BATTERY TO FAIL. THE TECHNICIAN TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD 5 BATTERIES FAIL THIS MONTH. I DID AN INTERNET SEARCH AND FOUND OTHER PEOPLE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE 2020 TOYOTA RAV4. THEY THOUGHT THAT IT EITHER COULD BE AN INTERNAL SHORT IN THE BATTERY, OR ELSE THE DIGITAL PARKING BRAKE WAS DRAINING THE BATTERY. THIS BATTERY PROBLEM COULD BE A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM THAT COULD LEAVE PEOPLE STRANDED IN WINTER WEATHER.*JB | Crash: No Fire: No | 1,803 |
