TOYOTA RAV4 PRIME 2024 SEATS

I am reporting a serious safety issue involving my vehicle where the braking system did not respond as expected during an emergency.  While traveling southbound on I-575 in Georgia, I experienced a sudden tire blowout. As I moved to the shoulder and applied the brakes firmly, the vehicle did not slow down as expected. Despite pressing the brake pedal continuously and with significant force, the vehicle continued traveling for approximately 1â2 miles before finally coming to a stop near Exit 11.  This was a highly dangerous situation, as the brakes appeared to be ineffective during a critical moment. Fortunately, there was no crash or injury.  After the incident, the vehicle was towed to a Toyota service center (Cherokee Toyota) where the damaged tire was repaired/replaced. I was informed that no other mechanical issues were found. However, I remain concerned that the braking system may have a defect or intermittent issue that was not detected during a standard inspection.  Given the severity of the incident, I request a thorough investigation into the braking system performance under such conditions. A failure or significant delay in braking response presents a major safety risk.

TOYOTA RAV4 PRIME 2024 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

The contact owns a 2024 Toyota Rav4 Prime. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, several unknown warning lights illuminated. The contact stated that while turning off the vehicle, the check engine warning light and the malfunction warning light illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that rusted wiring cable had caused the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact was informed that the part needed to be ordered to repair the vehicle. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 8,000.

The car was under warranty and experienced a transaxle failure while on a highway between Yuma, AZ and Tucson, AZ. The dealer who inspected and repaired the car determined the cause to be a flawed cooler replacement by a body shop in which transmission fluid was not properly replaced subsequent to a left front fender bender accident, which voided the warranty. (Fluids were dry on inspection; no leaks/issues identified at our residence or during "Toyota Care" X2 following the body shop repair.) The car worked flawlessly for one year after the body shop repair until the transaxle failed. Issue: There were no warning messages to indicate a problem with the fluid level until immediately before the catastrophic failure; we were able to get the car to the side of the road right before the wheels locked but had we not, a serious crash could have occurred. Toyota tells us there is no alert for fluids since they have designed the transaxle as a "closed system". However, conditions exist that could compromise this closed system so consumers (and service dealerships) should have a way to proactively identify a fluid level problem so it can be remedied to avoid potential safety hazards related to an abrupt failure.
