STILL WAITING FOR TOYOTA TO REMEDY A RECALL ISSUED OCT 28 2020. THEY SAY THERE IS NO FIX YET. THIS HAS BEEN TOO LONG TO DRIVE WITH THE RISK OF MY VEHICLE STALLING AND POTENTIALLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT.

NHTSA ODI 11399274

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE MONTHS AGO AND THE RECALL HAS YET TO BE SATISFIED ALL THE WHILE MY TODDLER GRANDCHILD IS IN THIS VEHICLE REGULARLY. MY BIGGEST ISSUE IS THE SAFETY OF A VEHICLE THAT MAY STILL AT HWY SPEEDS AND RESULT IN A CRASH

NHTSA ODI 11399217

DRIVING AT INTERSTATE SPEED WHEN SMALL GRAVEL BREAKS A SILVER DOLLAR SIZE STAR SHAPED CRACK IN WINDSHIELD ON PASSENGER SIDE. APPROXIMATELY 10 MINUTES LATER ANOTHER OBJECT HIT PASSENGER SIDE WINDSHIELD AND CREATED ANOTHER STAR SLAPPED CRACK IN THE GLASS NEAR PASSENGER WIPER ARM. HAD WINDSHIELD REPLACED WITHIN 7 DAYS UPON RETURNING HOME. THE NEW WINDSHIELD WHICH IS A GENUINE TOYOTA WINDSHIELD IS NOW CHIPPED IN SEVERAL PLACES. EVERYTHING THAT HOTS THE WINDSHIELD EITHER CRACKS THE GLASS OR CREATES A SIGNIFICANT CHIP THAT INTERFERE WITH PROPER VISION. I FEEL THE GLASS IS DEFECTIVE. TOYOTA JUST SAID I WAS UNLUCKY. BUT A WINDSHIELD SHOULD AFFORD SOME SAFETY FROM ROAD DEBRIS, THAT TIPICALLY DOESN'T CRACK OR EVEN CHIP THE GLASS. IF A QUARTER SIZE ROCK OR LARGER OBJECT HITS THE RAV 4 WINDSHIELD THAT I'M DRIVING, I HAVE NO DOUBT THAT IT WILL BURST OUT. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR 53 YEARS AND HAS ONE WINDSHIELD REPLACED PRIOR TO THIS ONE. THIS RAV4 CURRENTLY HAS APPROXIMATELY 38000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. A SHATTERED WINDSHIELD IS A SIGNIFICANT RISK FACTOR IN ANY ACCIDENT. I DON'T KNOW WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF THE WINDSHIELD SUPPLIED BY THE MANUFACTURER PROVED DEFECTIVE.

DEFECTIVE FUEL TANK DESIGN ONLY ALLOWS ABOUT 8-9 GALLONS RATHER THAN THE 14.5 GALLONS ITS DESIGNED TO HOLD. TOYOTA SENT A LETTER LAST YEAR THAT THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE BUT ITS NOT OFFICIALLY A RECALL. THEY SAID THEY WOULD ADDRESS IT BUT NO WORD FROM THEM YET. DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE ME TO LOOK AT IT. ITS AS IF THEY DON'T RECOGNIZE THE ISSUE.
