2022 Toyota RAV4 PRIME SUV AWD Safety Features

Here are the safety features that come as standard on the 2022 Toyota RAV4 PRIME SUV AWD

Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

ESC is an advanced safety feature in vehicles designed to help drivers maintain control during challenging driving conditions. By continuously monitoring various factors such as steering angle, vehicle speed, and individual wheel speeds, ESC can detect and reduce the risk of skidding or loss of control. It achieves this by automatically applying brakes to specific wheels to stabilize the vehicle.

Standard
Forward Collision Warning (FCW)

Forward Collision Warning (FCW) is a safety feature in vehicles that helps prevent frontal collisions by alerting the driver of an imminent collision with a vehicle or obstacle ahead. Using sensors such as radar or cameras, FCW monitors the distance and speed of vehicles in front, and if it detects a potential collision, it provides visual and/or auditory warnings to prompt the driver to take evasive action.

Standard
Lane Departure Warning (LDW)

Lane Departure Warning (LDW) is a safety feature in vehicles that alerts drivers when their vehicle unintentionally drifts out of its lane without signaling. Utilizing cameras or sensors to monitor lane markings on the road, LDW detects when the vehicle crosses these lines and triggers visual, auditory, or haptic alerts to notify the driver of potential lane departure.

Complaint:
"vehicle does not stop if one tire is going over a man hole cover, divit in the road, bump etc. it also skids forward when this happens and almost like jumps (as if anti-lock brakes where let loose and then pressed again) even if i am braking. this has been happening since the day i bought the car brand new off the lot. the traction control light also goes off. if i am going down a hill while this happens the car can jump forward multiple feet. this is a safety concern even if it is part of the hybrid system. ive read that braking control is still available when this happens with a hybrid however, i lose braking power for a a second or two. aka don't try to stop in boston if there is any type of not-flat area of the road.. like a small bump or the car might jump forward and not stop while braking."

Complaint:
"remote start option, has been disabled by dealer, reportedly in january of 2023. car was purchased 3/10/23 from dealer and feature was working via a remote subscription app which was not renewed on 9/23. as this app requires internet service and cell phone coverage to function, it was not reliable as service is not available in rural areas. also, the owner manuals do not describe that a cell phone app is required to remote start a car that is covered in ice. during winter operation this feature may be required to warm the car to allow the doors and electric locks to operate during ice storms. dealer requested to reinstate original remote option and advised that a separate remote costing $800.00 would be necessary. dealer could not replicate the function as they have wi-fi, other than to confirm that the "app annual fee" is not current. no warning lights, or messages indicate that the remote start function in not functioning. the car also dose not contain a mechanical lock operated by a key. thus, during inclement weather, the car is less reliable if the doors freeze shut, as the car can not be started remotely to thaw the ice."
