"sunroof blew out on its own without being hit or touched"

"the power lift gate sometimes closes all by itself when you're leaning inside. when that happens, i need to push-up on it to make it stop but then it'll start to close again all by itself. it doesn't make any difference whether you're leaning inside or you're just standing there; it sometimes starts closing. this usually happens when it opens only half way and i have to go back and push it up manually."

"i bought a new rav-4 toyota last year, 2022 model. i have about 10,500 miles on it and suddenly my moon roof (back sun roof) shattered. there was nothing around to throw rocks up on top of my car so its nearly impossible for it to be from an "outdoor influence". i decided that i would open up a claim with toyota, they have not even tried to advocate for my side; in fact no one asked for my side of the story until i said no one had asked me. it is not under warranty because its the moon roof and it is from "ware and tare" but no where does it say glass is not covered, and then they said that it would be covered only if proven from a manufacture/car fault or malfunction. my moon roof has no point of impact, hence the thought it was caused by pressure. then i looked it up, this has happened to 100s of people on their rav4 2021, some of which got it covered by toyota. i have been talking to a case manager (after weeks of trying to reach one) and he basically said that even if i send them these reports of it previously happening he won't bother looking at them; and that the specialist team are bias to toyota so they will also say its outside causes. i have been pushed around, looked down on, and not advocated for. they also won't do any repair on my car until toyota says okay, or i file an insurance claim, so they have had my car for 2 weeks doing nothing on it. not only that they upsold me on the moon roof, encouraged me to do it, my $500 upgrade is now costing me $5000 dollars to fix. this is a dangerous reoccurring problem, what if my shade wasn't closed and the glass hit myself or passengers, of if cars behind me ran over glass chunks and caused flat tires or window chips etc. in addition the way the situation has been handled makes me and my toyota loyal family not want to buy a toyota again!!"

"there seems to be an issue on these body styles on toyota rav4 where there is an opening in lower bumper and rocks and road debris come in and put a hole in the ac condenser. toyota is aware of these issues but will not address and the customer is out $1500 repairs. i consider this a safety issue because every time this happens freon is released into the atmosphere and the government is very concerned with this as is evident by the license and safety mechanisms in place for technicians handling the freon and repairs."

"audio system is dead"

"the moonroof glass shattered unexpectedly with no impact or previous damage while driving on the highway. the vehicle is only 3 months old has not been involved in any accidents or incidents. if the interior moonroof shade was not closed the glass would have dropped all over the interior potentially harming myself and any other passengers in the vehicle."

"on 11-9 the vehicle had an unintended acceleration that resulted in a collision. the vehicle was brand new. on 11-8 the vehicle had another unintended acceleration with a different driver where no collision was involved. toyota is ignoring the problem."

"when driving the car on a highway around 45 mph or above you can hear a excessive wind noise near driver window. there are several posts about this issue reported by various owners. this excessive wind noise makes fatigue and tiredness which can have impact on drivers ability and may result in health issues."

"unknown crack on exterior front windshield. the vehicle is nearly a month old and always garage kept. discovered hairline crack from drivers pillar to halfway towards the rear view mirror."
