TOYOTA RAV4 2012 car safety problem was reported on May 01, 2012.TOYOTA RAV4 2012, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with POWER TRAIN . MY 2012 HAS DONE THIS VIRTUALLY FROM DAY 1. WHEN BRAKING, THERE IS A SUDDEN ACCELERATION FOR 1/4 TO 1/2 SECOND AT THE TIME THE TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTS. I ALSO NOTICE IT WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS AND BRAKING. IT IS MORE DANGEROUS AT SLOWER SPEEDS ESPECIALLY WHEN BRAKING AT A LIGHT WITH SOMEONE IN FRONT OF YOU. IT FEELS LIKE YOU ARE PRESSING BOTH THE BRAKE AND ACCELERATOR AT THE SAME TIME. IT DOES NOT DO THIS ALL THE TIME. MAYBE ONCE OR TWICE A DAY. I THINK IT HAS TO DO WITH HOW HARD YOU BRAKE AND WHAT SPEED YOU ARE GOING. IT IS MOST NOTICEABLE JUST BEFORE YOU COME TO A STOP. IT ALWAYS HAPPENS JUST AS THE TRANSMISSION AUTOMATICALLY DOWNSHIFTS AND MOST NOTICEABLE WHEN IT DOWNSHIFTS TO SECOND OR FIRST. I NOTICE IT WHEN BRAKING SAY FROM 65 TO 55 MPH AS WELL, BUT THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION AT THAT SPEED HAS NO OR MINIMAL AFFECT AND IS NOT THAT NOTICEABLE. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 500 miles.

TOYOTA RAV4 2012 Service Brakes Report #10473271

TOYOTA RAV4 2012 car safety problem was reported on July 02, 2012.TOYOTA RAV4 2012, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES . THIS IS A LEASED CAR. THIS DATE WAS THE FIRST EPISODE OF A RECURRING PROBLEM. EACH TIME IT TOOK PLACE ON A LOCAL STREET. EACH TIME AS THE DRIVER ( MY WIFE OR MYSELF ) WAS STEPPING ON THE BRAKE TO BRING THE CAR TO A FULL STOP THE CAR SUDDENLY STARTED TO ACCELERATE. THIS FIRST INCIDENT WAS NOTEWORTHY BUT WAS ATTRIBUTED TO THE NEWNESS OF THE VEHICLE. THE THREE INCIDENTS THAT FOLLOWED WERE CONSIDERABLY WORSE. WE CONTACTED THE DEALER FROM WHOM THE CAR IS LEASED AND WERE TOLD TO BRING THE CAR IN . WE BROUGHT THE CAR IN ON AUGUST 23 AND PICKED IT UP ON AUGUST 30. AT THAT TIME WE WERE TOLD THAT THE CAR HAD BEEN TESTED AND NOTHING WA WRONG WITH IT. IN OTHER WORDS, TOYOTA HAS NO EXPLANATION OF WHY THESE FOUR INCIDENTS TOOK PLACE. THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED SO THAT WE COULD SAFELY TRANSPORT OUR GRANDCHILDREN.THE LACK OF RESOLUTION OF THE PROBLEM LEAVES US WITH AN UNSAFE VEHICLE THAT WE WOULD NEVER USE FOR THE ORIGINAL INTENDED PURPOSE.THE AUGUST 29, 2012, WALL STREET JOURNAL COLUMN 'ME AND MY CAR' HAS A LETTER DESCRIBING A VERY SIMILAR PROBLEM ON A TOYOTA HIGHLANDER THAT WAS BROUGHT TO THE DEALER TWICE. EACH TIME THE LETTER WRITER WAS TOLD WHAT SEEMS TO BE TOYOTA'S STOCK ANSWER, "NOTHING IS WRONG'. THE WSJ COLUMNIST RESPONDS THAT ' COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE ELECTRONIC SPEEDCONTROL SYSTEMS ON TOYOTA (AND OTHER BRANDS )ARE FREQUENT'. HE GOES ON TO SUGGEST THAT FIGURING THE CAUSE WILL TAKE SEVERAL VISITS TO TOYOTA. NO ADDITIONAL VISITS WERE SCHEDULED OR EVEN SUGGESTED BY TOYOTA. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 85 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):2T3BF4DV6CW. Toyota Rav4 2012 problem was reported in HARTSDALE, NY. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control. Vehicle had 4 CYLINDERS. FUEL TYPE: GAS. VEHICLE SPEED: 5 mph.

TOYOTA RAV4 2012 car safety problem was reported on Sept 12, 2012.TOYOTA RAV4 2012, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with POWER TRAIN . I PARKED MY CAR IN RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD AND PROCEEDED TO CROSS STREET WITH MY CAR PARKED BEHIND ME. THANKFULLY A MAN FACING CAR YELLED "YOUR CAR!" MY NEW CAR WAS ROLLING DOWN THE STREET BACKWARDS, GAINING SPEED DOWN THE INCLINE, HEADED FOR CURB, SIDEWALK AND HUGE TREE. I CHASED THE CAR DOWN THE STREET, GOT DOOR OPEN, JUMPED INSIDE VEHICLE AS IT WAS MOVING AND SLAMMED ON BRAKE, INJURING MY BACK AND SHOULDER IN THE PROCESS. THE PUSH-BUTTON START ALLOWED CAR TO "FREE-WHEEL" OUT OF CONTROL WHEN TURNED OFF, LEFT IN DRIVE, AND KEY LEFT IN CAR. I AM IN AND OUT OF CAR MANY TIMES A DAY. NO OTHER CAR I HAVE EVER OWNED WILL ALLOW ME, WITHOUT WARNING, TO LEAVE CAR IF LEFT IN "DRIVE". I WAS NOT INFORMED BY TOYOTA THAT PUSH-BUTTON IGNITION WOULD ALLOW MY CAR TO BECOME A POTENTIAL WEAPON, FREE WHEELING, IF LEFT IN DRIVE AND UNATTENDED. I WOULD LIKE THIS SITUATION TO BE REMEDIED TO SAVE LIVES AND PROPERTY DAMAGE. EVEN AFTER GOING THROUGH THIS FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE, I CANNOT BE SURE IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE WARNING SYSTEM. *TR.1 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 50 miles.

TOYOTA RAV4 2012 car safety problem was reported on May 31, 2013.TOYOTA RAV4 2012, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . VEHICLE WAS SLOWING DOWN FROM ORIGINAL SPEED OF 45MPH APPROACHING A TRAFFIC LIGHT. AFTER APPLYING THE BRAKE THE VEHICLE'S ENGINE STARTED TO REV UP AND ACCELERATE WITH FOOT ON THE BRAKE. THE HARDER THE BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED THE HIGHER THE RPMS AND FOOT WAS NOT TOUCHING THE GAS PEDAL. AFTER A FEW SECONDS AND BRAKE PRESSED AS HARD AS POSSIBLE THE ENGINE QUIT RUNNING AND THE CAR WAS TOTALLY SHUT OFF AFTER JOLTING FORWARD. AFTER GETTING CAR RESTARTED IT WAS RUNNING ROUGH AT 45 MPH AND SHORT DISTANCE FROM HOME. THIS WAS A FRIDAY NIGHT. CALLED TOYOTA DEALER NEXT MORNING AND MADE APPOINTMENT FOR THEM TO CHECK IT OUT ON TUESDAY JUNE 4. HAD TO USE THE RAV ON SUNDAY JUNE 2 TO PICK UP A PART AT THE HARDWARE. RAN FINE FOR THE 4 MILES OR SO TO THE HARDWARE. UPON STARTING THE CAR, AFTER LEAVING THE HARDWARE, IT REVVED UP TO A VERY HIGH RPM THEN DROPPED BACK TO NORMAL. DRIVE BACK HOME WAS OK. ON THE WAY TO THE TOYOTA DEALER ON JUNE 4 I COULD WATCH RPMS FLUCTUATE IN AN ABNORMAL MANNER AFTER HITTING THE BRAKE FOR A STOP AT TRAFFIC LIGHT. WHILE AT THE DEALER I FILED A CASE WITH TOYOTA.

I AM FAIRLY SURE A SPACE ALIEN CAME DOWN AND HIT THE BACK GLASS SHARPLY, EXACTLY AT THE MOMENT I WAS CLOSING THE DRIVERS DOOR...BUT I CAN'T PROVE THAT EITHER. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 5000 miles.

TOYOTA RAV4 2012 Service Brakes Report #10546074

TOYOTA RAV4 2012 car safety problem was reported on Aug 31, 2013.TOYOTA RAV4 2012, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES . I AM FILING A COMPLAINT ABOUT SPONGY BRAKES BEHAVIOR IN A 2012 TOYOTA RAV4. THE PROBLEM I WAS EXPERIENCING WERE THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELING TO THE FLOOR AND REDUCED STOPPING POWER DURING APPLICATION. THE SPONGY BEHAVIOR OF THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS ALSO PRESENT WITH ENGINE OFF. I REPORT THIS EVENT TO TWO SEPARATE TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS WHICH TECHNICIANS CLAIMED THIS IS A NORMAL FUNCTION AND THIS IS A SOFT PEDAL DESIGN (ACCORDING TO THE FIRST DEALERSHIP). THE SECOND DEALERSHIP SHOWED ME ANOTHER SIMILAR VEHICLE (2011 TOYOTA RAV4) AND IT ALMOST DID THE SAME THING (ENGINE OFF - PEDAL WAS STILL SPONGY BUT WAS LESS THAN MY VEHICLE). SINCE BEING A ASE MASTER TECHNICIAN BEFORE BECOMING AN MECHANICAL ENGINEER, I BLEED THE BRAKES WHICH ONLY HELPED A LITTLE AND THERE WERE NO FLUID LEAKS. FINALLY, I RESEARCHED THAT THE ABS PUMP MIGHT NEED TO BE ACTIVATED USING A SCANNER TO CYCLE THE ACTUATORS THAT MIGHT HOLD AIR TRAPPED INSIDE. I TOOK THE CAR TO MY PREVIOUS PLACE ON EMPLOYMENT WHERE I CONSULTED THIS ISSUE WITH THE SHOP MANAGER IN WHICH HE AGREED THAT THIS IS A POSSIBILITY. THE SHOP MANAGER PERFORMED THE ABS PUMP CYCLING PROCESS WITH THE SCANNER AND THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME HARD AND FIRM LIKE IT SUPPOSE TO BE (PROCEDURE TIME: 5 MINUTES!). I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH TOYOTA TRAINED TECHNICIANS AND ANY GOOD TECHNICIAN KNOWS THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS SOFT PEDAL DESIGN ESPECIALLY WITH A VACUUM BRAKE BOOSTER WITH ENGINE OFF (HYDRAULIC FLUID IS ONLY SLIGHTLY COMPRESSIBLE!). ONLY VEHICLES WITH HYDRAULIC BRAKE BOOSTER CAN EXPERIENCE A BRAKE PEDAL FEELING SPONGY SINCE THE BOOSTER WILL CONTINUE TO FUNCTION AFTER ENGINE HAD BEEN TURNED OFF (APPROX:10 ¿� 20 BRAKE PEDAL APPLICATIONS ¿� DIESEL & VERY FEW GAS VEHICLES). IT SEEMS TO ME TOYOTA IS SKIPPING A STEP IN THERE MANUFACTURING PROCESS. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 7000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):2T3BF4DV8CW.

TOYOTA RAV4 2012 Seats Report #10547214

TOYOTA RAV4 2012 car safety problem was reported on Oct 07, 2013.TOYOTA RAV4 2012, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with SEATS . THE REAR SEAT SHAKES OVER ANY ROUGH SURFACE. IN WATCHING THE HEADREST FOR THE REAR SEAT IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR WHILE DRIVING THERE IS ABOUT A 2-INCH SIDEWAYS TRAVEL. HAVE TRIED THE SEAT IN VARIOUS POSITIONS AND THE PROBLEM REMAINS. BY ROUGH I DON'T MEAN POTHOLES...THINGS LIKE CHANGING LANES OVER REFLECTOR BUTTONS, FREEWAYS WITH RAIN GROOVES, THINGS LIKE THAT. MY 12 YEAR OLD JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE'S REAR SEAT DOESN'T SHAKE AT ALL IN THESE CONDITIONS, BUT THIS RAV4 REAR SEAT MOST CERTAINLY DOES. THE SHAKING IS SO BAD SOMETIMES THAT IT RATTLES. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT AN INFANT CAR SEAT STRAPPED INTO THIS BACK SEAT AS THE INFANT MY BE EXPOSED TO EXCESSIVE SHAKING OR VIBRATION. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP (TOYOTA CARLSBAD, CARLSBAD CA) ON OCTOBER 7TH 2013 AND THEY VERIFIED THE ISSUE. RATHER THAN TAKE STEPS TO CORRECT IT THEY TESTED ANOTHER RAV4 IN THE SAME WAY AND FOUND THAT IT TOO HAD THE SAME CONDITION AS MINE. BASED ON THIS THEY TELL ME THAT IT IS A 'NORMAL CONDITION'. I BELIEVE IT IS A DESIGN FLAW. NEVER HAVE I SEEN A CAR WITH A SEAT SHAKE SUCH AS THIS. IN TESTING FURTHER I FIND THAT IF SOMEONE SITS IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT THE REAR SEAT SHAKING SEEMS TO REDUCE. IF SOMEONE SITS IN THE REAR SEAT AND THEY WEIGH 150 POUNDS OR SO THERE IS A MINOR VIBRATION FELT AND THE SHAKING IS ALMOST NON-EXISTENT. HOWEVER, IF ONLY THE DRIVER IS IN THE CAR THE SHAKING RESUMES OR ANY LESS-THAN-PERFECT ROAD CONDITION. I FEEL AS THOUGH TOYOTA NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE PRIMARILY FOR THE RISK OF INJURY TO INFANTS STRAPPED IN THE SEAT AS WELL AS COCKPIT NOISE (RATTLE). IT IS A FLAW IN THE DESIGN OF THE VEHICLE TO BE SURE. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 18575 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):2T3YK4DV9CW.

TOYOTA RAV4 2012 car safety problem was reported on Dec 13, 2013.TOYOTA RAV4 2012, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with TIRES . I HAD JUST GOTTEN ON A 6 LANE EXPRESSWAY WITH A 45 MPH SPEED LIMIT. HANDS AT TEN AND TWO - JUST WATCHING THE ROAD GOING ABOUT 40 MPH IN THE FAR LEFT LANE SO PEOPLE COULD TURN ON THE ROAD. I HAD BEEN HAVING A CLUNKING SOUND WHEN I WOULD PULL OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY FOR AWHILE BUT DIDN'T WANT TO GO BACK TO THE DEALER BECAUSE I HAD JUST GOTTEN A 10,000 MILE OIL CHANGE AND AFTER REMOVING A TIRE WITH A NAIL IN IT FOUND THEY HAD TO ORDER THE TIRE, WHICH TOOK 3 WEEKS TO GET (APPARENTLY RUN FLAT TIRES ARE STILL IN JAPAN,,) SO, I BACK TO MY NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE- I WAS DRIVING SLOWER THAN THE SPEED LIMIT DOWN THE ROAD WHEN I LOST ALL STEERING IN MY VEHICLE AND I WAS HEADED INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I HIT THE TALL CEMENT MEDIAN AND I PULLED AS HARD AS I COULD BACK TO THE RIGHT. AFTER I HIT I HAD A LITTLE CONTROL AGAIN. WITH BOTH DRIVERS SIDE TIRES STRIPED FLAT I HAD ENOUGH STEERING TO PUT MY HAZARDS ON AND GET BACK ON THE CORRECT SIDE OF THE ROAD AND PULL THE THING INTO A SIDE PARKING LOT TO BE TOWED. I FEEL LIKE THE THING IS TRYING THE KILL ME! WARRANTY HAS TO COVER THIS BUT I THINK I'M GONNA HAVE TO TRADE IT IN. TOO SCARED TO DRIVE THE DAMN THING. ATLLEAST I HAVE TWO WITNESSES THAT CAN VERIFY MY EVENT INCASE TOYOTA TRIES TO SCREW ME OVER.

I DRIVE A TOYOTA RAV4 V6 LTD, 2012 PURCHASED ON JAN 2, 2013. PRIOR TO THAT WE HAD A TOYOTA CAMRY 1999 WITH MORE 200K MILES ON IT. ON JULY 24TH, 2013, I WAS DRIVING AT A SPEED OF 10 MPH INSIDE THE APARTMENT COMPLEX AND WAS TURNING RIGHT TO PARK. I WAS ALMOST PARKED WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR SURGED AND ZOOMED OVER PARKING STOPPER, BREAKING OVERHEAD STORAGE BIN, ZOOMED AHEAD AND BANGED INTO THE BUILDING STAIRS. I KEPT PUMPING THE BRAKE ALL THROUGH, BUT THE CAR DIDNT STOP UNTIL IT HIT ON TO THE STAIRS OF APARTMENT. THE WHEELS WERE STILL ROLLING BUT IT COULDN'T GO AHEAD BECAUSE OF THE HEAVY STAIRS AND FINALLY AFTER CONTINUOUSLY STEPPING ON THE BRAKE IT STOPPED. MY RIGHT FOOT WAS ALL ALONG ON THE BRAKE AS IT ALWAYS IS WHEN I'M PARKING. BODY OF THE CAR WAS SEVERELY DAMAGED WITH GLASS PIECES ALL OVER ME. LUCKILY MY 3 YEAR OLD WAS SAFER AT BACK IN HER CAR SEAT. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY ON IMPACT. I'M HAVING MORE THAN 10 YEARS OF DRIVING EXPERIENCE AND IT WAS THE FIRST TIME THAT I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. SINCE I'M A WOMAN EVERYONE WAS QUICK TO CONCLUDE THAT, I HAD STEPPED ON THE GAS PEDAL INSTEAD OF BRAKE. BUT I KNOW MY FOOT WAS ALL ALONG ON THE BRAKE, UNTIL THE CAR FINALLY STOPPED. THIS HAS CAUSED A LOT OF DAMAGE, ALTHOUGH I HAD INSURANCE TO COVER THE CAR, THE VALUE IS ZILCH NOW. THE CAR WAS NOT TOTALED AND REPAIRS WAS WORTH MORE THAN 20K. DRIVING THE CAR NOW, DOESN'T FEEL THE SAME AS THE COLLISION CENTER DID A CRAPPY REPAIR JOB. NOW THE CAR MAKES SOUNDS WHILE DRIVING, AS THOUGH IT WILL COME APART. WE ARE LEFT WITH NO OPTIONS OTHER THAN JUST TO DRIVE THE SAME CAR BECAUSE WE CAN'T AFFORD ANOTHER CAR. AFTER NOTIFYING TOYOTA AND AFTER NUMEROUS CALLS THEY COLLECTED THE EDR AND SENT US A REPORT STATING THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE.

TOYOTA RAV4 2012 Unknown Or Other Report #10596877

TOYOTA RAV4 2012 car safety problem was reported on June 01, 2012.TOYOTA RAV4 2012, manufactured by Toyota Motor Corporation had a problem with UNKNOWN OR OTHER . TRYING TO USE THE 'HANDS FREE' FEATURE OF THE BLUETOOTH FEATURE IN THE RAV4 TOYOTA, I RAN INTO A CURB TRYING TO FIND A TELEPHONE NUMBER IN THE PHONE BOOK. I HAD TO PURCHASE A NEW TIRE FOR OVER $200. AND I JUST HAD THE CAR FOR APPROX 2 OR 3 DAYS. I CAN'T BELIEVE TOYOTA WOULD EVEN HAVE A BLUETOOTH FEATURE THAT REQUIRES YOU TO USE THE ROTARY TUNER TO FIND A TELEPHONE NUMBER. THE SALESPERSON TOLD ME TO GET A SMART PHONE AND IT MAY HELP, BUT IT DID NOT. THE BLUETOOTH IN MY RAV4 IS ALMOST USELESS! WHO WOULD DESIGN OR PUT INTO A CAR A FEATURE THAT WOULD ALMOST INSURE ACCIDENTS IF USED AS DESIGNED? I THOUGHT I WAS GETTING A BLUETOOTH THAT WOULD ALLOW VOICE COMMANDS. AS IT IS, I CAN ONLY USE VOICE COMMANDS USING MY PHONE AND ONLY TALK USING BLUETOOTH. -- SOME HANDS FREE FEATURE!!! MY 1999 CAMRY HAD A BETTER INTERFACE WITH MY FLIP PHONE THAN MY 2012 RAV4. I FEEL THE FEATURE WAS MIS-REPRESENTED. I HAVE SPENT THE LAST TWO YEARS TRYING TO GET MY SAMSUNG GALAXY S3 TO WORK WITH THE RAV4 BLUETOOTH. IT IS USELESS. I THINK TOYOTA SHOULD UPDATE THE SOFTWARE OR WHATEVER IS NEEDED IN MY RADIO TO GET THE HANDS-FREE FEATURE MORE USABLE..0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 200 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):JTMBK4DV9C5. Toyota Rav4 2012 problem was reported in READING, MA. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control.
