I REPORTED TO THE DEALER THE FOLLOWING ISSUES: ON 7/6/14, I CALLED THE DEALER TO REPORTED. I WAS TOLD TO WAIT UNTIL FRIDAY, WHILE THEY ORDERED THE PART. HOWEVER, ANOTHER ISSUES I REPORTED: A( ON 7/1/14 WHILE DRIVING TOWARDS MY HOME THE LEFT FRONT HUBCAP, CAME OFF. IS DEFECTIVE. B) REAR HUBCAP, PASSENGER SIDE, WITH DAMAGE, ANYTIME IS GOING TO COME OFF WHILE DRIVING, MAY HIT A PEDESTRIAN OR ANOTHER CAR. C) REAR BACK BODY OF THE CAR, A PLASTIC PIECE IS PEELING BACK, MAY COME OFF WHILE DRIVING AND HIT A PEDESTRIAN OR ANOTHER VEHICLE. D) FRONT DOOR PASSENGER SIDE. BENEATH THE HANDLE THERE 2 LARGE WITHE, DEEP SCRATCHES. E) INTERIOR DOOR PANEL, PASSENGER SIDE, IT LOOKS DIRTY AND WITH SPOTS. F) TWO TIRES HAVE BEEN MARKED WITH BIG RED DOTS. I HAVE NO IDEA WHY, IS THE FIRST TIME NEVER ON MY OTHER PREVIOUS CARS. I AM AFRAID THAT THE DEALER GAVE ME A LEMON CAR. HOWEVER IS FULL THE MANUFACTURER'S RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX THE CAR, AND MAKE SURE THAT THERE ARE NO OTHER FUTURE ISSUES. FINALLY, NOBODY AT THE DEALER IS SHOWING ANY INTEREST TO TAKE CARE OF MY COMPLAINT. I'VE LEFT SEVERAL MESSAGES TO CALL ME BACK. UP TODAY NOBODY HAS TRIED TO CALL ME BACK, EITHER TO ANSWER THE PHONE WHEN I CALL ANY OF THE MANAGERS. LAST FRIDAY, I RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE DEALER BUT ONLY TO PICK IT THE PLATES AND THE NEW REGISTRATION. I BROUGHT COPIES OF THE DAMAGES, NOBODY EVEN TRY TO TALK TO ME, WAS LIKE SAY, THEY JUST LOOK AT ME, AS IF SAYING "WHATEVER". I NEED YOUR HELP.

VISIBILITY/WIPER

when vehicle is started and put into reverse the backup camera is dim and unviewable for 15 sec. backing up during this period is obviously hazardous and it is very annoying to have to wait until it becomes visible. this is related to the whole display console as the radio, nav system, and bu camera all come on after 15 sec. this does not happen on my wife's 2007 prius although occasionally it does not switch to the bu camera at all.

WHEELS

new car dunlop tires have severe road hazard. every small road condition magnifies into great steering problem

Reported in: NORTHPORT FL || Crash: N || VIN #: 2T3RFREV4EW

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

there is a lag in the accelerator when moving from very slow or from a stop. when moving into cross traffic it is hazardous as you lose significant speed or acceleration creating an unreasonable risk that the cross traffic will collide with your vehicle. this is not a one time occurrence as it happens on a continuous basis. the dealer takes no responsibility and is ducking the issue. i am afraid it is just a matter of time before they may be serious incidents as other owners have said the same thing to me.

ENGINE

while driving my brand new toyota 2014 rav4, they were the following: 1. the car was vibrating slightly and the car was stuck in first gear. 2. the “check engine" light came on along with the awd drive and traction control lights. 3. the steering wheel was becoming firm along with the brake pedal. remember, this was all while the car was still running. 4. i managed to pull over and turn off the car. 5. i tried to restart the vehicle, but the car would not start and would only use the battery. 6. i tried to start the car for the third time, but stopped when i could smell burning rubber. i was very nervous when this happened. moreover, i have lost confidence, trust, and a sense of safety in this vehicle. basically, i no longer feel safe and secure in this car. my experience yesterday 09/01/2014 was terrifying, i was afraid that somebody was going to hit me from behind. when the vehicle started to shut down i was scared for my friends life and mine. i had no choice but to stop the car as much as i could to the side safely and put on my hazard lights on, and call for help. there was no shoulder i had to stop on a busy road, where cars drive over the speed limit. when i was buying the vehicle they were my best buddy offering you water, pizza, after the deal shaking hands 20 times, when you go back its like we are very busy. toyota care will take care of it, dont really want to know you! at the moment it is at the dealership being checked! lets see what happens.
