What 870 owners told NHTSA about the 2019 Toyota RAV4 Hv

2019 RAV 4 XLE PREMIUM I PURCHASED A YEAR AGO CONTINUES TO LURCH WHEN SUDDENLY ACCELERATING FROM A ROLLING STOP. AN EXAMPLE IS WHEN PULLING UP TO A RED LIGHT AND THE LIGHT SUDDENLY TURNS GREEN, I'LL TAKE MY FOOT OF THE BRAKE AND TAP THE GAS AND THE CAR HESITATES THEN ACCELERATES. THIS MOTION JERKS ME AND OTHER PASSENGERS IN OUR SEATS.

VEHICLE ACCELERATED SUDDENLY WHEN I WAS TRYING TO GET INTO A PARKING SPOT ON MY LEFT SIDE. SAVED FROM CRASHING INTO THE ADJACENT CAR WHEN I QUICKLY PUSHED THE BRAKES, VERY SCARY. IT WAS RAINING AT THE TIME, AND THE PARKING SPOT I WAS AIMING FOR IS AT AN INCLINE.

CAR DOEST NOT MOVE RIGHT AWAY AT A STOP EVEN WHEN STEPPING ON THE ACCELERATOR AT 3-4 RPM. VERY DANGEROUS WHEN YOUR IN THE INTERSECTION WHEN TURNING LEFT OR WHEN CROSSING THE STREET. SEEMS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS

I EXPERIENCED SEVERAL NEAR MISSES RELATED TO TWO ADAS FEATURES AS I RENTED THIS NEW RAV4 IN ATLANTA. FIRSTLY, THE LANE-CENTERING FEATURE ACTIVELY TRIED TO GUIDE MY VEHICLE OUT OF ITS LANE WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS TYPICALLY OCCURRED WHEN DRIVING ACROSS OVERPASSES WHERE THE PAVEMENT TYPE TRANSITIONED. THE LEFT AND RIGHT LANE MARKINGS WERE PRESENT ON THE PAVEMENT THROUGHOUT THESE EVENTS. THE STEERING WHEEL MOVED WITH FORCE AND SPEED--HAD MY REACTION TIME BEEN HALF A SECOND LONGER, I WOULD HAVE STRUCK VEHICLES NEXT TO ME. SECONDLY, THE VEHICLE'S FULL-RANGE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL BRAKED ABRUPTLY, ESPECIALLY AT LOWER SPEEDS, ON NEARLY EVERY OCCASION WHERE HIGHWAY/CITY TRAFFIC SLOWED OR STOPPED. I WAS NEARLY REAR-ENDED DUE TO THE JERKY ACTIONS OF THE SYSTEM. THE VEHICLES IN FRONT BRAKED SMOOTHLY DURING THESE EVENTS--ONLY MY VEHICLE SLAMMED ON ITS BRAKES WHEN IT COULD HAVE LIGHTLY APPLIED THEM TO SLOW DOWN SAFELY. IT APPEARS THAT TOYOTA MIGHT HAVE MY DATA FROM 3/13/2019, SINCE A STICKER ON THE OVERHEAD CONSOLE STATES: "VEHICLE DATA TRANSMISSION IS ON! YOUR VEHICLE WIRELESSLY TRANSMITS LOCATION, DRIVING AND VEHICLE HEALTH DATA TO DELIVER YOUR SERVICES AND FOR INTERNAL RESEARCH AND DATA ANALYSIS..." I HOPE THAT NHTSA CAN WORK WITH TOYOTA TO EXAMINE THESE RECORDS AND IMPROVE THESE SYSTEMS.
