2025 Toyota RAV4

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The concern involves the vehicle's Toyota Safety Sense (TSS) active safety systems, specifically Lane Tracing Assist (LTA), Steering wheel assistance and the Pre-Collision System (PCS) with Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC).The suspected systems/components involved include the forward-facing camera, front radar sensor, steering assistance/LTA system, and related ADAS software calibration. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. The issue is with system performance during operation, not a visible physical component failure. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? While driving on highways or non-highways with clear lane markings and LTA/DRCC activated, the vehicle has shown inconsistent lane-centering behavior. The vehicle can weave within the lane and has drifted toward an adjacent lane without intentional steering input from me. This creates concern about unintended lane departure and reduced driver confidence in a safety assistance feature.I also have concerns regarding the Pre-Collision System's ability to detect stopped vehicles ahead early enough to provide appropriate warning or automatic braking intervention. A delayed response from an active safety system could increase the risk of a collision. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? I have reported the concern to the Longo Toyota dealership multiple times in Prosper, Texas. The dealership inspection identified. However, to my knowledge, the dealer has not successfully reproduced or documented the specific driving conditions required to observe the issue (highway or non-highway driving with LTA/DRCC active) with me present. The issue continues after the service visit. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? Only Toyota Dealership inspected No warnings displayed .

The moonroof on my car spontaneously shattered while I was driving on the highway. It made a very loud noise like a large object hitting the top of my car. There was no prior warning and no other vehicles were close to me at the time. I was not driving under a bridge or overpass. The sliding roof panel was closed, but I heard wind and there was shattered glass on the top of sliding roof panel. If it had been open, passengers would have had been showered in broken glass. The glass pieces went flying across the roof and scratched the paint. I took the car to a glass shop and the Toyota dealership. Toyota inspected it for defects in the seal/gasket that holds the moonroof, but found nothing. Our insurance company did cover replacing the moonroof glass and the paint damage. This happened at the end of February on a very cold & clear day (about -15 degrees), so I had auto-started and warmed up my car before driving.

Feb 27, 2026

On August 29, 2026, at approximately 9:04 PM, my vehicle was turned off and parked in my driveway. I entered the driver’s side of the vehicle and closed the driver’s door normally. Immediately after the door was closed, the rear windshield/back glass completely shattered without warning. There was no known impact to the rear windshield at the time of the incident. The outside temperature was approximately 76°F with 85% humidity, and the incident occurred after dark. I did not notice any warning lights, messages, visible damage, or other symptoms before the glass shattered. The sudden failure created a safety risk because shattered glass could strike or injure vehicle occupants and left the vehicle without an intact rear windshield. The cause of the failure is UNKNOWN at this time.

In wet conditions, water contacting the radiator in the subject vehicles after idling for an extended period can create steam that can cause an incorrect engine sensor reading. This can lead to a warning light, a rough-running engine, or a potential engine stall while idling or operating at low speeds.
