VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE
Two week old 2024 RAV4 hybrid with less than 300 miles. In my driveway I put car in drive and it suddenly and aggressively accelerated. It would not stop or slow despite my attempts to brake, trying to avoid collision all I could do was steer to avoid impact. Finally grazed a tree trunk, car then rolled onto passenger side and came to rest against the bush by my front door. Spouse and I required extrication by fire Dept requiring jaws of life and removing windshield. Unsure of long-term injuries Been driving many years and never had an accident with vehicle damage Car was totaled

ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Yesterday while sitting in a drive thru, my Rav4 began shaking forwards and backwards a few times and then an error popped up saying Steering Power Low, Engine Off. At this point, I turned off my car and put it in park and it took a multiple times to get the car to power back on. This also threw a check engine light. After looking into this issue, we found other owners of 2019-2024 Rav4 also experience this issue and when the dealership runs their diagnostic they cannot find anything. We read it with a personal car code reader and had codes 7E8 and 7E9 but the dealership found nothing.

There is a risk in driving this vehicle as there is a safety recall open on this vehicle. As per the status on nhtsa website it says that remedy will be available in Q3 2024 and that is already passed but there is no fix. When reached to the manufacturer they are unable to provide more info. Also this vehicle was sold to me by Toyota dealership as a used car without disclosing this safety issue. Now when reaching to dealership they are stating that nothing can be done. I have family with young kids and we use this car everyday. I am concerned about safety of my family. Hence, I am raising this complaint against the manufacturer to get this issue fixed asap.

I was traveling on the interstate this morning, driving approx 70mph in 55 degree weather when the sunroof exploded and glass shattered everywhere inside my vehicle. The sunroof was closed at the time, and the interior cover was opened, so the glass was all over me and the inside of the car. There were no other vehicles near me and no evidence of a rock or other debris hitting the car. I have filed a claim with my insurance company however I see online that there are several other cases against Toyota RAV4 vehicles who have experienced the same issue. It was an absolutely terrifying situation and thankfully I didn't hit another car or hurt anyone else in the process.
