After starting the RAV4, the Apple CarPlay quits unexpectedly both while stopped and while driving. Once it quits, the only way to reactivate Apple CarPlay is to stop the car, shut the engine off, then restart. This is extremely dangerous especially while using the map for guidance and it suddenly quits. The issue was reported several times to the local Toyota dealer, but they could not replicate the problem, even after leaving the car at the dealer overnight. The issue is not infrequent, and occurs almost every time the car is driven.

I had been driving for over an hour and heard a sudden explosion that made me think there was a gunshot and heard glass shattering but couldn't see anything. I was fearful so I drove further down to the fire dept to assess to the damage and ensure no one was following me. Called 911 for help because I was so shaken. Discovered the back portion of my panoramic sunroof had exploded.

Glass moonroof /sunroof on top of 2025 Rav4 sudden shattered under normal driving conditions on freeway. The noise sounded like a gunshot and could have caused distraction / an accident. No evidence of impact from outside. No overpass that a rock could have come from. The dealer has not confirmed the issue, but it looks like there may be lawsuits underway for other model years. Car is currently with dealer. No warnings or messages ... it just suddenly happened while driving

The contact owns a 2025 Toyota Rav4 Hybrid. The contact stated that while driving 50 MPH, another vehicle driving at an unknown speed crashed into the rear passenger's side of the vehicle, causing the front driver's side of the vehicle to hit a wooden post, and the vehicle came to a stop. The wooden post was bent. The air bags failed to deploy. There was no warning light illuminated after the crash. The contact was shaking and was taken to the hospital by an ambulance. The contact underwent a CT scan and X-rays, but no issues were found. The contact sustained pain in the left leg. The contact was provided with injections and a neck brace. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a tow lot. The vehicle had not yet been evaluated by the insurance company. The dealer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 15,000.

After purchasing a new vehicle, I have become aware of a persistent and widely reported problem with the Toyota/Lexus battery maintenance/charging logic for the 12V batteries in their HEV and PHEV vehicles. This results in chronic under-charging of the 12v battery due to low charging voltage even during normal use and produces a failed 12v battery within 6-24 months. The problems are so widely known and investigated by owners that there is now a complete white paper on the subject: [XXX] Toyota/Lexus needs to respond to this and provide a software patch that addresses the well-documented issue so that new owners like me are not confronted with a choice between (a) driving the vehicle and risking getting stuck in an unpleasant or dangerous situation when the vehicle fails to start; (b) modifying the manufacturer's system and risk voiding my warranty; or (c) spending additional money on diagnostic equipment for something that is a clear manufacturer error.
