I have oiwned the car for 3 months and there has not been a problem previously. As I was pulling into a parking space at work, going less than 5 mph, i took my foot off the accelerator and coasting in while intending to brake, stop, and turn the car off. Suddenly, the car accelerated forward quickly, propelling the car over a tall curb, over a small grassy area, and onto the open parking lot. I subsequently applied the break, the car stopped, I drove back to the same spot. and was able to park and turn the car off. A report was filed with Toyota, completing an unintended acceleration form (UA), and Toyota filed TAS case number 24212013.

Panoramic sunroof shattered while my wife was driving down the freeway. No object struck the sunroof but while she was driving it sounded like a shotgun went off and the panoramic roof was shattered.

Bought brand new car from Toyota. While driving on Highway at 60 mph car suddenly went dead and catastrophic warning showed up on dash. Was barely able to pull over to side of road. Very dangerous. Had car towed to Toyota who informed me that battery was defective in cold weather and went dead. Battery replaced. Recall inspection is warranted.

How to use these: a complaint is one owner’s report, filed voluntarily and published unverified. Patterns matter more than any single story. If several owners describe the same failure at similar mileage, put that system at the top of your pre-purchase inspection list. Back to the full 2024 Toyota RAV4 Prime verdict →
