This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
While actively braking at low speed to line up to a ticket dispenser in a parking garage, the car suddenly accelerated as if the gas pedal was floored. I slammed the brake and the car stopped at about 10 feet. The parking arm went over the hood about halfway. When I tried to reverse I saw the gear shift had moved and the engine was off.
The buzzer volume alerting the driver of crossing a line in the lane departure feature is so low it cannot always be heard. Toyota states the volume cannot be increased.
On 7/30/2018 I picked up my new 2018 Toyota Rav4 hybrid from the dealership of purchase and found that I did not have a digital speedometer as I was driving home. A digital speedometer in my belief is not just a mere convenience in most vehicle but should be a safety standard equipment in all vehicles in the 21st century. Looking down to an analog speedometer to try and guess what speed I maybe traveling at is wasting precious seconds that could be used to pay attention to the road ahead of me. It is much more safe to see a large digital display of the speed at which my traveling at rather than trying to guess my speed to make sure that I'm traveling at a speed safe for the road I"M on. I brought my concerns to Toyota on 7/31/18 but have not received a satisfactory reply. I wanted to bring my concern to the nhsta and register a safety complaint and bring this issue to the forefront and have someone look into it. Thank you.
