Defect Description:
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
WHILE DRIVING DOWN I-25 SOUTH OF DENVER, CO IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AT 75 MPH, THE ENGINE ABRUPTLY SHUT OFF. I SUDDENLY HAD NO ENGINE POWER, POWER BRAKES OR POWER STEERING. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SHOULDER, BUT CAME CLOSE TO HITTING OR BEING HIT BY SEVERAL VEHICLES. WHEN WE MADE IT TO THE SHOULDER ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES WERE APPEARING ON THE DASH. AFTER LETTING THE CAR SIT A FEW MINUTES I RESTARTED IT, AND IT DID RUN, THOUGH ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS WERE STILL ON. THERE WAS A DEALERSHIP 9 MILES FROM MY LOCATION, SO I SLOWLY MADE MY TO ARAPAHOE TOYOTA. THEY RAN A DIAGNOSTIC AND SAID THAT SOMETHING CAUSED THE FUEL TO BE SHUT OFF TO THE ENGINE. THEY DID NOT KNOW WHY, AND COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THEY SUSPECT IT IS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE AS I ALSO FOUND OUT THAT THE RIGHT REAR BRAKE LIGHT DOES NOT WORK INTERMITTENTLY. SINCE THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM, AND HAD NO LOANER CARS, THEY ESSENTIALLY TOLD ME TO COME BACK THE FOLLOWING MONDAY AND HOPE FOR THE BEST IN THE MEANTIME. SINCE I WAS HEADING TO VACATION THIS IS IMPRACTICAL, SO I WAS STUCK DRIVING A CAR I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE. MY NEXT STEP IS I AM TAKING THE VEHICLE TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP IN FORT COLLINS, CO, AND TELL THEM WHAT HAPPENED AND THAT I WANT THE ISSUE RESOLVED, THE BRAKE LIGHT ELECTRICAL ISSUE FIXED, AND BE ASSURED THAT THE CAR IS SAFE. I'VE NEVER HAD A VEHICLE DIE WHILE DRIVING LIKE THAT, LET ALONE ONE WITH ONLY 4580 MILES. I'M APPREHENSIVE ABOUT DRIVING THE CAR 26 MILES IN THE MOUNTAINS TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP, AND SO FAR TOYOTA HAS BEEN NO HELP.

I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW 2019 RAV4 LIMITED WITH 150 MILES ON THE ODOMETER, NOW HAS ABOUT 460 MILES. A FEW DAYS INTO THE PURCHASE, I NOTICED YELLOW TICK MARKED GLITCHES SHOWING UP ON MY DRIVERS CENTER MAIN CONSOLE. THIS MAIN CONSOLE DISPLAYS MY MPH, SPEED LIMIT, LTA, AND MORE. I THOUGHT NOTHING OF IT AS IT WENT AWAY FOR A FEW MINUTES WHEN I TURNED ON/OFF MY CAR, BUT IT WOULD SHOW UP AGAIN. AFTER THESE YELLOW TICK MARKS STARTED SHOWING, MY WHOLE MAIN CENTER SCREEN WILL GO BLACK WITH ONLY THE REAR SEAT BELT RED LIGHT, PARK, AND BSM LIGHTS FLASHING. IN ADDITION, MY ANALOG RPM, GAS GAUGE, AND TEMP GAUGE WERE ALL DOWN. I WAS DRIVING BLIND FOR A WHILE, UNTIL I HAD TO PULL OVER ON THE HIGHWAY/STREET TO RESTART MY CAR SO THAT I CAN SEE MY MAIN DASH (RPM,MPG,TEMP,GAS,ETC) AGAIN. SOME OF THE PICTURES THAT ARE ATTACHED WITH BLACK SCREEN ARE EXAMPLES OF MYSELF TURNING ON/OFF MY CAR WHILE I WAS STUCK IN TRAFFIC SO I COULD RESTART/SEE ALL OF MY MAIN DASH CONSOLE GAUGES, RPM,MPG, ETC. WHEN MY SCREEN GOES DARK, I HAVE TO LOOK AT THE OTHER CARS TO MATCH THEIR SPEED BECAUSE I WAS BASICALLY DRIVING BLIND. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN TO MYSELF AND MY FAMILY! I HAVE A VIDEO OF THIS SCARY OCCURRENCE, BUT THE VIDEO FILE IS TOO BIG TO ATTACH. I TOOK THE CAR IN THE DAY OF THIS STARTED TO HAPPEN AND IT CONTINUE TO SIT IN THE DEALERSHIP.

SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE MALFUNCTION. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN DRIVEN IN A FEW DAYS, IT WAS PARKED IN OUR ENCLOSED GARAGE. STARTED VEHICLE SHIFTED INTO DRIVE, LET OF BRAKE AND VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD. I THEN APPLIED LIGHT THROTTLE AND STILL THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE. I COULD FEEL RESISTANCE FROM THE REAR WHEELS. I SHIFTED BACK INTO PARK AND MANUALLY CYCLED THE PARKING BRAKE SWITCH. NOTICED THAT THE PARKING BRAKE LIGHT INDICATOR IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WOULD NOT ILLUMINATE. NO AUDIBLE NOISE OF PARKING BRAKE ACTUATOR FUNCTIONING. CYCLING THE PARKING BRAKE SWITCH DID NOTHING. I TRIED TURNING THE ENGINE OFF AND BACK ON, THIS DID NOT RESOLVE THE SITUATION. SHIFTED BACK INTO DRIVE AND GENTLY APPLIED LIGHT THROTTLE, THEN SHIFTED INTO REVERS AND APPLIED VERY LIGHT THROTTLE. I REPEATED THIS A FEW TIMES AND WITH A SUDDEN LOUD CLUNK THE E- BRAKE RELEASED AND THE VEHICLE MOVED FORWARD. I THEN CYCLED THE E-BRAKE SWITCH A FEW TIMES AND IT APPEARS TO FUNCTION PROPERLY AGAIN. THROUGH OUT THIS NO MESSAGES OR WARNING LIGHTS WERE DISPLAYED INDICATING ANY PROBLEM WITH THE E-BRAKE OR ANY SYSTEM. THIS VEHICLE HAS 2,400 MILES ON IT. IT HAS NEVER BEEN SUBJECTED TO ANY ENVIRONMENTAL CONTAMINATES THAT COULD POSSIBLY CAUSE THIS ISSUE. IT HAS NEVER BEEN OFF-ROAD, NO EXPOSURE TO SNOW, MUD, DIRT OR FREEZING TEMPS. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD! I HAVE NO IDEA IF OR WHEN THE ELECTRONIC EMERGENCY BRAKE MAY FAIL TO ENGAGE OR DISENGAGE. I TALKED TO THE DEALER AND THERE SUGGESTION WAS TO WAIT UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN AND HAVE IT TOWED IN. THIS IS AN ALL WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLE SO ATTEMPTING TO WINCH IT UP ON A TOW TRUCK WOULD LIKELY FREE THE STUCK BRAKE, OR DAMAGE THE DRIVE TRAIN. THIS IS EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING.

THE ENGINE OF THIS VEHICLE CAN BE TURNED OFF BY PRESSING THE KEYLESS "OFF" BUTTON ON THE DASH WITHOUT THE TRANSMISSION HAVING TO BE IN "PARK". I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE WITH THE TRANSMISSION IN THE DRIVE POSITION ON A SLIGHT INCLINE IN A SHOPPING CENTER PARKING LOT I EXITED THE CAR AND IT ROLLED BACKWARDS. I WAS ABLE TO JUMP BACK INTO THE CAR, START THE ENGINE, ROLL FORWARD, PUT IT IN PARK AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE. HAD THIS BEEN ON A STEEPER INCLINE I WOULD NOT HAVE HAD A CHANCE TO GET BACK INTO THE CAR AND STOP IT FROM ROLLING BACKWARDS. IT COULD EASILY HAVE HIT OTHER CARS OR PEOPLE WALKING IN THE PARKING LOT. THIS IS A SCARY SITUATION AND COULD BE REMEDIED BY THE MANUFACTURERS BY ENSURING THAT THE ENGINE CAN ONLY BE TURNED OFF WITH THE TRANSMISSION IN THE PARK POSITION. THIS WAS A RENTAL CAR FROM THE DALLAS/FORT WORTH AIRPORT.
