2022 Toyota RAV4 problems

“The high-voltage rear traction motor cable floor wire harness on my 2022 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid has experienced severe corrosion, which has severely degraded the high-voltage electrical shielding. This defect has created immediate electromagnetic interference (EMI), causing violent, deafening static noise on the AM radio ONLY when the vehicle is in motion (accelerating/driving). Toyota National Headquarters is well aware of this systemic defect under Customer Support Program (CSP 22TE09) and Limited Service Campaign (25TD01). However, the authorized dealership, Empire Toyota of [XXX], has repeatedly denied warranty coverage using unscientific diagnosis ("FM radio is fine, so the cable is fine") and refused to perform a proper road test or insulation resistance test. Furthermore, Toyota Brand Engagement Center (Corporate Case #XXX) has neglected my safety concerns and failed to enforce corporate policy on the uncooperative dealership”

“Idling, received a warning of "engine stopped. steering power low". Trying to restart the car - it would start up then immediately shut down w/ the same error. Letting it sit for 15 minutes allowed it to reset and start again. It was raining at the time, wind shield wipers were on if that matters.”

“The contact owns a 2022 Toyota Rav4. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle lost automotive power, and the "Low Steering" message was displayed on the instrument panel. The check engine warning light was illuminated, the vehicle shuddered, and then stalled as the contact pulled into a parking lot. The failure had occurred on several different occasions. The contact attempted to restart the vehicle; however, the vehicle failed to return to normal operation. The vehicle was towed to a dealer where it was diagnosed with an inoperable port fuel injector. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken to another dealer and was diagnosed with inoperable port fuel injectors. The contact was informed that the port fuel injectors needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000.”

“The contact owns a 2022 Toyota RAV4. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, there was an abnormal sound coming from the front driver's side door.

The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but it was not inspected. The contact was informed that the failure was not covered under warranty.”

“Driving up a slope of about 20-30 degrees gradient of a straight lane going into a private parking lot. Braked and decided to make a 3-point turn to get back out. There was no traffic in the lane. Put gear on reverse while on the slope with the vehicle pointing in the up direction of the slope. Vehicle suddenly surge backwards, accelerating. Vehicle sped down the slope and crossed a street. Could not stop. Vehicle was stopped only after placing gear into park from reverse, and after jumping curb across the street. Fortunately, there were no cross traffic in either direction on the street, otherwise vehicle could have been T-boned. Tire wall on the rear passenger side busted. AAA was called to replace tire with spare. There were no warnings on the dashboard or any symptoms anywhere else, although the vehicle had all the safety features.. The next morning, vehicle was taken to Toyota of Carlsbad. Left there for diagnosis and tires change. Vehicle is left with Toyota of Carlsbad until this issue is answered/solved. Told by service manager of Toyota of Carlsbad to call Toyota USA at [XXX] to report incident by customer, and request Toyota USA to send expert from…”

“Within the 1st year I purchased it new, I would get a warning that the RSA is malfunctioning. It seems to happen when I park in the sun and the windshield is very hot. The warning in my dash prevents me from seeing my other readings; mph, fuel, and I can't use my other safety features; LDA, PCS or cruise control. I've taken it in but then it does a reset and the technicians say there's nothing wrong. The warnings happen every month, weekly. I just got tired of taking it in to hear they don't see anything wrong!”
