Toyota RAV4 Change Vehicle

“Contrast on backup camera is terrible. Very difficult to see in sunlight”

“not visible in daylight”

“Radio would "reboot" the operating system most times when the engine was started. This would take several minutes to complete before operating normally”

“Screen option sometime missing”

“The display screen freezes and I cannot control the volume setting and I cannot change channels or turn it off unless I turn off the entire engine”

“Does not respond to voice or manual operations”

“System appeared to go into a system-level or root-level re-boot. Constantly cycling a boot up screen that was not part of a normal operating re-start. System would not come back online, as system re-boot appeared to consistently fail”

“I start the car and anything from the camera to the radio does not work. Have to shut it off and restart it then it works fine. Toyota is working on it. Intermittent problem”

“MP3 player frequently stops and can not be restarted untill after another MP3 is played. The player also freezes my iPOD player requiring a system restart to the iPod. These MP3s play without issue on all my current and past car audio systems. Toyota”

“Link between my iPod and radio gets lost. Also, the tone settings go back to a neutral setting all by themselves occasionally- this is very annoying”

“Neither I nor the dealer could make the map change to black background for night time driving making an unsafe glare when using GPS at night”

“The entire in-dash console had to be replaced, the GPS failed (it had me driving through Lake Erie). Toyota required that the dealer replace parts incrementally, in order of increasing cost. So it took 5 service calls before the entire unit was repla”

“GPS indicated wrong location. They reset it a few times then finally replaced the unit with a new one”

“not giving the right location”

“Nav Head Unit replaced”

“Does not recognize addresses I know to be correct from five years ago, some from 25+ years ago. Makes me wonder about others it doesn't recognize”

“The screen contrast between the background and street boundary outlines is small and difficult to see. Changing contrast is not available”

“Would not work correctly -- kept showing us at the wrong location. Toyota fixed the problem by replacing the unit”

“Have discovered lots of incomplete info, addresses for streets, homes built years ago that don't show up. Had a system update and problem continues”

“The maps are terrible. Outdated and incorrect. Toyota should recall and replace all the maps”

“Maps are wrong, misleading and dangerous. The map fabricates U turns because of inherent inaccuracies”

“Sometimes goes into "maintenance" mode and is unusable. A free firmware update may have fixed it mostly but I did see it for a few minutes recently”

“This is ann extremely disappointing GPS system that is VERY user "UNfriendly". for FYI I am very familiar with computers and technology which I have used professionally. This GPS has no override when it does not "know" an address and I have had at least 2 experiences where the GPS could not find an address that I was trying to input. I have given up on this GPS and now only use WAZE or Google when I need a GPS. It is clumsy, awkward, and difficult - hard to believe it is coming from a Japanese”

“It takes an excessive amount of time for the system to respond”

“Cell phone connects and disconnects at will. Never can tell when it is going to happen”

“The system says the phone is not connected to the blue tooth and I have to program it again”

“The bluetooth system is flaky and drops connection often”

“When entering car and phone became connected, it would make radio and all etune system inoperable”

“It comes and off without warning”

“terrible audio quality using phone via bluetooth”

“The blue tooth connection will inexplicably disconnect and reconnecting is a process that is time consuming - not something easily done in the middle of a road trip!”

“Radio became inoperative once phone was connected via Bluetooth”

“Radio comes on at random times and loses its content source unexectedly. It came on once and I almost ran into something because it startled me. Dealer hasn't found the cause yet”

“The radio still takes time to boot up the voice commands. It took me 10 months to get "Toyota Experience" to got the updates and then find someone with experience to install them. Very poor R and D. Not thought out very well”

“XM Radio was not turning on all the time”

“It totally quit working but was fixed by a firmware update by the dealer, no cost”

“Sometimes the radio won't turn on when I try the car. manually turning it off and on don't seem to help. This problem is intermittent. I do leave the radio on when I turn the car off”

“Radio constantly was rebooting and flashing and we could not use it at all. Poor quality!!!!! The rest of the Rav is superior”

“This car is a disaster Radio broke after 2.5 years Out of warrantee by 2000 miles Cost 4000 to replace with new radio”

“Radio trouble from purchase date for 8 months or so before the radioi was replaced”

“same as previous, it took Toyota 4 months to get me a new entertainment system”

“Radio completely stopped working”

“The voice recognition system misunderstands my voice commands and responds incorrectly”

“System lacks the ability to easily understand clearly spoken commands. Making a phone a call can often take two and sometimes three attempts”

“It does not understand my commands. I am not able to use it”

“Had radio unit replaced under warranty. Also had new unit updated with new software”

“Voice commands would not boot up. Had to have 4 updates to the entire radio to fix the problem”

“Voice control for phone is super slow and frustrating inaccurate”

“Voice recognition system was not working, however on first oil change the dealer did a software upgrade which has corrected the problem”

“Voice command system did not implement commands”

“The voice control does not work and the dealer cannot make it work”

“Find Carl's jr, it' says can not find motel 6”

“It takes 5 or so minutes before the voice command will boot up an engine start”

“Does not corectly respond to voice comands. Does not call correct people”

“It appears that when Toyota redesigned the RAV4 and put the tire under the cargo area instead of outside on the rear door, they did not do anything to deal with road and wind noise in the cargo area. There is a tremendous amount of noise that comes”

“Interior squeaks. Especially in winter”

“rattle in the dash console that I think has been resolved by the dealer”

“suspension rides like a truck, very hard, bumpy ride, lots of noises while driving”

“Squeaks noticeable in rear of car when driving over any bumps in road. Dealership unable to locate”

“dashboard rattle when driving from NAV system not being securely in place. Dealer says they can't fix/replicate, but noise is there and heard by many people”

“The rear suspension made a chirping sound. Toyota replace the left rear strut”

“Glove compartment kept getting stuck and rattled a lot. They finally fixed the door”

“The driver's door has never fit properly. Toyota has tried three times to correct it. They claim to have replaced gaskets, window tracks and other things. I've noticed no change. When I can afford it, I'll take the car to a body shop”

“The car is not a quite car in fact it is quite noisy”

“It is a noisy car. I think by this time with all the improvements being made on cars this should not be a problem”

“Self Explanatory..with previous comment”

“Again surprised to feel and hear wind noise”

“noisy”

“when driving at highway speeds the wind and road is such that it is hard hear the person next to you”

“both headlights went out - hard to see ahead at night!”

“headlights burn out MUCH too often”

“brake light stopped working - fixed under warranty”

“Turning light on rear OF car on drive's side out of service and had to be replaced”

“both multi-function lights have burned out - at 1.5 years and 3 years”

“no working when sold. had to come back to dealer. Car is RAV4 EV”

“The door lock on the drivers side stopped working”

“not specific, in accurate”
