Potential Consequences:
I HAD BEEN USING THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL AT HIGHWAY SPEED ON THE WESTBOUND CA 134 IN GLENDALE/BURBANK, CA. I HAD TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC FROM THE HOV LANE DISENGAGING THE CRUISE CONTROL. I THEN USED THE AUTO TRANSMISSION TO SHIFT TO A LOWER GEAR TO GAIN MORE TORQUE IN CHANGING LANES WHEN THE CAR WENT INTO A STALL AND LOST ALL POWER. CONSEQUENTLY WE WERE REAR-ENDED BY ANOTHER CAR. OUR CAR WENT INTO A LOCKOUT AND HAD TO BE PUSHED TO THE SHOULDER BY THE CALIFORNIA HIGHWAY PATROL. I DON'T KNOW IF THIS WAS A RANDOM EVENT OR A GLITCH IN THE ON-BOARD COMPUTER.OR SOMETHING ELSE TOTALLY UNRELATED. *TR

NEXT DAY AFTER I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE, I BROUGHT THE SUV BACK TO THE DEALER (CENTENNIAL TOYOTA OF LAS VEGAS ) WITH PROBLEM ON THE GATE OPENER. DEALER REPLACED THE CONTROL MODULE IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR BUT THE PROBLEM DID NOT GET RESOLVED. BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALER AGAIN AND THE TECHNICIAN CAME WITH ME TO REPROGRAM THE CONTROL BUT CANT RESOLVED THE PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THAT I NEED TO BUY A REMOTE CONTROL FOR THE GATE COMPATIBLE WITH THE SUV CONTROL SYSTEMS. WE HAVE TWO GATES WHICH MEANS T I HAVE TO BUY THE CONTROLS. I TRIED TO RETURN THE VEHICLE BUT THE NEXT DAY I FOUND THE VEHICLE IN MY DRIVE WAY, WITH A NOTE SAYING THE PROBLEM WAS ON THE GATE. STILL FURTHER MADE THE COMPLAIN TO THE MAIN TOYOTA MANUFACTURERS OFFICE TO NO AVAIL, STILL INSISTING THAT THE PROBLEM WAS IN THE GATE CONTROL. HOWEVER THE CONTROL BUTTON FOR THE GARAGE WORK PROPERLY. STILL THE PROBLEM IS UNRESOLVED AT THIS MOMENT.

AT AROUND 1:30 PM, FEBRUARY 7, 2020, ON A SUNNY AND WINDY DAY, I WAS DRIVING ON MD RTE. 32 HEADING TOWARDS COLUMBIA JUST PAST I-95, TRAVELING ABOUT 60 MPH. I WAS DRIVING NEXT TO A LARGE TRUCK AND BECAUSE THERE WAS A LOT OF WIND, AND THE TRUCK WAS BEING BLOWN BY THE WIND, I DECIDED TO DRIVE PASS IT. AFTER I HAD DRIVEN PAST THE TRUCK, I HEARD A VERY LOUD BANG RIGHT ABOVE MY HEAD AS IF SOMETHING EXPLODED. I DID NOT SEE ANYTHING AND THE CAR APPEARED TO BE OK, SO I KEPT DRIVING. BUT THEN I STARTED HEARING THE SOUND OF WHAT I THOUGHT WAS SOMETHING LIKE GRAVEL BOUNCING RIGHT ABOVE THE SLIDER THAT COVERS THE SUNROOF. BECAUSE I DID NOT KNOW WHAT JUST HAPPENED, I DECIDED TO HEAD HOME WHICH IS JUST A FEW MINUTES AWAY. WHEN I GOT HOME I SAW THAT THE SUNROOF GLASS WAS SHATTERED AND MOST OF THE GLASS WAS GONE. I CALLED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT OF THE COMPANY THAT SOLD ME THE CAR ABOUT GETTING THE SUNROOF REPLACED AND THEY TOLD ME THAT EVEN THOUGH THE CAR WAS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD AND HAD A THREE YEAR WARRANTY, THAT I SHOULD CALL MY INSURANCE AGENT. I CONTACTED OUR INSURANCE AGENT AND SHE SAID TO CALL THE CLAIMS DEPARTMENT. SHE ALSO MENTIONED THAT SOMETHING MUST HAVE HIT THE SUNROOF. TO MY KNOWLEDGE NOTHING HIT THE SUNROOF TO CAUSE THE GLASS TO EXPLODE. I AM NOT AWARE OF ANY PREVIOUS CRACKS OR OTHER DAMAGE TO THE SUNROOF THAT WOULD HAVE WEAKENED IT. I CALLED THE INSURANCE AGENT, AND WAS TRANSFERRED TO SUNROOF EXPRESS, THE COMPANY THAT HANDLES THE SUNROOF CLAIMS. I WAS REQUIRED TO PAY MY DEDUCTIBLE AND THEY SENT A NEW SUNROOF TO A REPAIR COMPANY NEAR ME AND THE SUNROOF WAS REPLACED. AT NO TIME DID ANY OF THESE COMPANIES ASK ME WHAT HAPPENED, WHICH ASTONISHED ME. NOR DID THEY SEEM SURPRISED AT THE OCCURRENCE. IT WAS LIKE THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME AND WE WANT TO BE EFFICIENT AND GET IT REPLACED FOR YOU AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.

Potential Consequences:
I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR 18,000 MILES NOW AND I HAVE NOTICED SERIOUS ISSUES WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEM. WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKES, I HAVE TO (ALMOST) COMPLETELY FLOOR THE BRAKE PEDAL IN ORDER FOR THE CAR TO STOP. I HAD A 2015 HONDA CR-V FOR THREE YEARS AND IT NEVER HAD ANY ISSUES LIKE THAT. IN OTHER WORDS, THE BRAKE PEDAL IS TOO SOFT COMPARED TO SIMILAR VEHICLES. THIS IS ESPECIALLY PROBLEMATIC FOR SHORTER DRIVERS (LIKE MY MOTHER) BECAUSE SHE HAS SMALL FEET AND SHE NEEDS TO LIFT HER ENTIRE FOOT TO TRANSITION BETWEEN THE GAS/BRAKE PEDALS, PUTTING HER AT A SLIGHT DISADVANTAGE. I CONTACTED THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP REGARDING THIS ISSUE, BUT THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS NORMAL AND COULDN'T DO ANYTHING MAJOR ABOUT IT. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD. I ALMOST RAN INTO A DEER ONE NIGHT ON A LOCAL ROAD BECAUSE I COULDN'T STOP THE CAR ON TIME. HIGHWAY BRAKING IS ALSO DIFFICULT, SO I HAVE TO MAINTAIN EXTRA DISTANCE. HOWEVER, WHEN USING DYNAMIC CRUISE CONTROL, THE CAR IS ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY BRAKE IN ACCORDANCE TO THE VEHICLE TRAVELLING AHEAD OF ME.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Potential Consequences:
THERE IS NOT PARTICULAR INCIDENT TO REPORT. THE HEADLIGHT BEAMS ARE TO LOW ON LOW-BEAM USE, WITH A HARD EDGE AT THE TOP SO IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE FAR DOWN THE ROAD. THE HIGH BEAM SETTING IT TOO HIGH, SO THE LIGHT GOES 30 FEET ABOVE THE ROADWAY, AND DOES NOT ILLUMINATE THE ROAD FURTHER AHEAD. THIS IS A FAULTY DESIGN. I WAS ABLE TO ADJUST THE BULB HOUSING TO LOWER THE HIGH BEAM SO IT ACTUALLY SHOWED MORE ROAD , AND THE PROBLEM OF DEER ON THE ROADWAY IN THE MOUNTAINS. THERE SHOULD BE SEPARATE ADJUSTMENTS FOR HIGH/LOW BEAMS, AND THE LOWER BEAM SHOULD SHOW MORE ROADWAY AHEAD.

POWER TRAIN
Potential Consequences:
I PURCHASED MY RAV4 BRAND NEW MID/LATE YEAR 2018. IN DECEMBER AT APP. 10000 MILES I STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH THE GEARS. SHIFTING FROM PARK TO ANY GEAR I WOULD HEAR A LOUD BANGING TYPE NOISE AND THE ENTIRE CAR WOULD JERK. ALONG WITH THAT ISSUES I HAVE NOTICED A DELAYED ACCELERATION AT GREEN LIGHTS SOMETIMES TO THE POINT WHERE I GET A TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT ONCE IT HAS KICKED IN OR EVEN JERKING WHILE FINDING THE CORRECT GEAR TO BE IN. ONCE I HAVE ACCELERATED AND LET OFF THE GAS, AND THEN RETURNED TO THE ACCELERATION PEDAL AFTER BRAKING OR JUST MOMENTARILY RESTING MY ANKLE WITH THE CAR AT SPEED, THE CAR WILL "FISH FOR GEARS" LIKE IT CANNOT DECIDE WHICH GEAR THE CAR SHOULD BE IN. WHEN GOING DOWNHILL AND LETTING OFF THE GAS IT WILL DOWNSHIFT, CAUSING THE CAR TO JERK. ALL THESE ISSUES HAPPEN OFTEN BUT COMPLETELY AT RANDOM. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER AND BROUGHT IT UP MULTIPLE TIMES DURING OIL CHANGES AND TIRE ROTATION, BUT THEY SAY THAT CANNOT DUPLICATE IT OR THAT IT IS JUST HOW THE CAR WORKS.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE TURNPIKE FROM FT. LAUDERDALE, FL TO OCALA, FL, WHEN I REACH THE KISSIMMEE AREA, THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR OPENED BY ITSELF. I HELD THE DOOR WHILE CONTINUING TO DRIVE TO A SAVE AREA. THIS WAS A CONSTRUCTION AREA, SO I DROVE FOR APPROXIMATELY 1 MILE OR 1-1/2 MILE AND ENTER BETWEEN THE CONSTRUCTION DRUMS TO PARK AND PROPERLY CLOSE AND LOCK THE DOOR. IT WAS A VERY FRIGHTENING AND TENSE MOMENT.
