Radio/tape Cd Player problems of the 2014 Toyota RAV4

I've had multiple issues with this car. The lock actuators on all the doors and rear hatch constantly break, the radio completely stopped working and a new after market radio had to be installed since Toyota won't recall the radios, the ac blower motor keeps shorting out, and the usb ports short out and stop working.

The radio screen only displays the Toyota sign. It will change stations with the pre set on the steering wheel but you can not do anything else cuz the screen does not display anything other than the Toyota sign.

Radio will completely stop working to where you have to buy a new $1200 radio from the dealer. All door lock actuators will stop working after a period of time causing you to not being able to unlock or open your doors.

The contact owns a 2014 Toyota Rav4. While operating the vehicle, the navigation/information system suddenly malfunctioned. The screen turned a blue color and the system became inoperable. Screen keeps attempting to reload but it fails. Radio or navigation inoperable but the rear view camera does work. Occurred at 60,000 miles.

Radio in my 2014 Rav4 won't turn on or off. The screen looks like it is trying to reboot but gets to a certain point then stops and starts again. It creates safety issues as it divert driver eyes what happen and have to use cell phone while driving to check road conditions. It prevents drivers from up to date traffic conditions and car condition. Everything used to display in radio screen.

All the apps on the dash board, including radio are gone{whited out}. I am afraid if everything is shuting down all at once while I drive as it did on this one.

The radio/infotainment system on these vehicles are failing (ours failed last week), with numerous examples posted by owners online. A dealership eventually determined that the entire radio unit needed replacement at quoted cost of $1160 Toyota customer support is courteous but unwilling to assist with repairs. The radio system appears to enter a boot loop where a loading type screen appears for several seconds followed by the screen turning off for a time before restarting the loop. While I wouldn't consider the radio/infotainment to be a critical safety component, this constant on/off of the radio screen is a distraction for the driver. At night especially, the change in brightness from screen off to screen on lights up the entire cabin. Furthermore, the boot loop cannot be stopped- no buttons work and the sequence repeats itself forever as long as the key is on.

When I had my car in park my stereo stopped working. No radio, no satellite, no nothing other than back up camera. When I start the car I get a blue picture of the stereo and a status bar loading like on computers when a program is loading. I took the car to the Toyota dealer and he explained that the replacement would cost 2,500 dollars to replace and he explained there was no means to fix it. I went to another mechanic and he told me the same thing. I have had the car for only 1 year and 6 months with 45000 miles and it just suddenly stopped working. I believe there is a defect in these radios that cause this endless loop to occur. Many others have experienced similar problems with the same model of car as well.

Radio navigation quit working at 52000 miles. Its constantly rebooting. Dealer says need new radio which will cost about $1200. 00.

My car radio went on a loading screen loop, and now is stuck on a loading screen . I went to dealer to fix it or upload new software but they sad that radio would not take. I can't use cell heands free.

Radio navigation quit working after battery replacement. It is constantly rebooting. Dealer says need new radio which will cost about $1200. 00. Cannot use bluetooth, hands-free, cd player, or radio. Toyota will not replace even though many others have same issue because it is not a safety issue.

Issue first started when battery had to be jumped. Then a few days later when in motion driving to the bank, the radio started acting up and got stuck on station and song and then just went black then a picture of the radio appeared the on the screen and was attempting to update but would go black again and then start over so was stuck in some kind of reboot. Not sure if electrical problem or what so took it in to dealership and they told me I should only have to pay $50-60 to reboot it. They checked the battery and said the battery was low charge and replaced it at no charge but said they were unable to reboot the system because it would not stay up long enough before it would black out again. Since it was barely past the warranty period Toyota would not cover the system and I would have to pay $1000 to have refurbished system installed. After researching online I found this was a common complaint and found one here at this site as well so adding mine. I sent letters and emails to Toyota to stand behind their long time customers and products but they would not budge. Multimedia systems should not fail after 3 years. I call that a defect but I guess because it is not considered a safety issue it is not important to Toyota. We are a Toyota family and have been driving Toyota's since my first car back in the 70's. I will probably go ahead and replace with refurbished system hoping this is not an electrical issue and repeat but I will certainly reconsider before purchasing another Toyota in the future.

I have a Toyota Rav4 2014 xle awd. The radio system went out showing a picture on the screen of the radio and what seemed to be a rebooting of the system constantly. The usb port is also shorting out. To note what I was doing, I was turning the car on in my garage to leave and run errands for the day. This all happened on the same day. I only use the system for cd playing, radio playing, and occasionally navigation. When I called the dealership the first response was I would have to pay $98 each for a system check on both problems. Also, I gave the VIN number to the Toyota service rep and he stated there was an update available at no cost to me. I dropped the car off and the rep called me and said he made a mistake; there was no update and the radio is not working at all. The cost would be $1200. He wanted to know how many miles I had on the car and if bought it new, which I did buy it new at his dealership. I researched this problem with other Rav4 vehicles with same year. Also, other Toyota vehicles with same type radio system and there is a problem with all of them doing the same thing mine is doing. I feel a vehicle that is only 3 years old should not be having this type of issue and it should be fixed with an upgrade, not the fact the radio is broken as well as usb port not working. I take care of my car. It still looks new! I have owned Toyota vehicles since I was 16 and I am now 54. I am very disappointed with the fact the type of radio most of the newer Toyotas have installed are having this issue and Toyota is not addressing it as they should. I know this is not a safety issue, but I feel it is an issue that needs to be addressed by Toyota as I feel there is clearly a problem.

My Rav4 2014 xle radio/blue tooth stopped working about 3 yrs ago. I called Toyota, but they refuse to fix. The radio screen is blue , and keep rebooting. It was only 3 yrs old and we are taking care of the car very good. It cost 1500 to replace a new one, but I think it's not customer fault, and I'm still driving without the radio. I feel that it's not customer fault and Toyota may get the defect radio to install in the car. I did research and see lots of costomer has same issue. I see there is few recalls for Rav4 2014, but I never get a letter from Toyota to get the car fixed.

Hi I am writing about my 2014 Rav4 my mileage is 62,000. Prior to this car being 3 years old and 55,000 miles the radio shorted out including the bluetooth and navigation. I am shocked Toyota has not done a recall when it is evident this is a common defect. Browsing you tube shows many, many people have the same problem with their Toyota radio. After months of silence I ended up paying $1345. 41 to replace this upon reasearch seems to be a common known problem. My invoice #tocs231192 with dublin Toyota is dated 3/16/2017. I am asking for your review, consideration and response in this matter.
